Reviews (page 12 of 14)
#29 From the songs to the album art, this album is iconic. Classic Stones blues rock with a little country thrown in. Most of the songs are great, the rest are good. The problem, however, is listening to "Brown Sugar". It's structurally a great song, but the lyrics are something else. Simply gross, to be honest. 3.5* rounded down to 3. I just can't get over that song.
Standout tracks: Brown Sugar, Moonlight Mile
Fuggin rolling stones man
Sleazy gold.
klasik
I didn't know so many of the hits on the radio was from the same album
Pretty good
I thought it was super good! I really liked how the guitar in a lot of songs was constantly changing and being more than just back ground instrumentation as showcased on wild horses. It feels very full and fun and exactly what I want a Rolling Stones album to be.
77 / 100 A consistently great album, but lacks any standout moments to make it more memorable
Some big hitters on here (Can't You Hear Me Knocking is a fav). Great solo to end Sway. Second side brings down the tempo but may be more interesting. Worth revisiting.
How did a band with maybe two good songs end up with about seven albums on here?
3/5. The first half of the album is really good. Second half feels like B-sides, definitely a weaker run. Also, Brown Sugar, despite being the best on the album, is a little concerning to listen to nowadays. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is arguably the best song, with its great solos. Overall, a decent rock album, more country-rock in general.
4.5
It’s a good Stones album, not at the top of my list (Let it Bleed) but still quite good. This is a hornier Stones album, there’s not only a good view of a dick on the cover but lots of brass on this one, really well utilized on Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. Sister Morphine is a track I forgot about and really enjoyed. Wild Horses is a classic and it’s a good tight Stones release. 4 stars
Very good
I always love The Rolling Stones.
Really took me by surprised - I'd always written off the Stones as not being my thing just because they're ancient. This album has totally changed my opinion. 50+ years down the line and this still sounds super fresh, every songs stands out as having something unique about it. I was sure this would rate reasonably low but I can't not give it 5*
I do wonder what this would have felt like in the moment. I also wonder what the overall transition from the 60's to the 70's felt like -- feels like a rough one. Not sure I had heard Moonlight Mile before but enjoyed that one. 3.5 stars
third album i got on this project from the stones. i got beggars bunquet and aftermath all of them were amazing but this is the best one so far. favorite songs wild horses i got the blues cant hear me knocking
I always expect to be blown away by Rolling Stones albums but (aside from the occasional great song) I just find them ok. This album is noteworthy for the band having broken with their album and gained artistic freedom. And of course for the innovative and risqué album cover by Andy Warhol. But for me, most of the music isn't that memorable.
Muito bom. Um clássico!
I liked it. I didn't find it quite memorable, but I'm sure it's something that has to do with personal taste.
The lyrics to Brown Sugar are abhorrent. The rest is good enough to listen to.
I've got the blues songs sounds very blue. But otherwise very enjoyable album. Can totally understand why Rolling Stones was legendary for their time.
3/5
Meh
Better than I remember actually, but was the remastered version. Some girls is still the one for me tho.
This might be their best.
Actually pretty good. I was never a big Rolling Stones fan, but I definitely enjoy this one.
Classic, well crafted songs, iconic band.
Lots of classics on this album. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is a favourite.
that was a wild ride across dorky, boring, and annoying
Not a huge Stones fan but this is probably my favorite album of theirs. Especially like WILD HORSES and MOONNIGHT MILE
All time classic, though I've always struggled to fit the Stones in my periods of 60s/70s British rock...they're great, it's just harder to listen to for me, for some reason?
Peak Stones. Everything seems to work. Dodgy lyrics on Brown Sugar.
Any album that fumigated with Moonlight Mile is perfect.
it was alr
Great album with energetic tunes and some balads whose variety and quality will keep you engaged throughout. Truly a timeless classic!
Simply fantastic album. Not a bad track on it. Masterpiece start to finish.
Cool Jojo reference Overrated album.
Sikkert greit, fulgte ikkje så godt med
Can't really fault it. Classic Stones
Marking the end of the first year of this endeavor. Sticky Fingers is probably my favorite album from the Rolling Stones. A delight from start to finish.
They have always appeared to me, since my entrance into this world, like horny cadavers singing bluesy pastiches of black American songs. After this album, all I can say is what songs they are! Thoroughly enjoyable, enormous soul and delta blues influence, tightly produced but cool, very listenable. An altogether very good album
A few great songs. The rest is good. 3.5
So awesome. I had heard the hits off this album, but not the whole thing all the way through. It’s now obvious why this was such an important album when it came out and why it’s the favorite of so many Stones fans. I wish I had graded Moving Pictures differently because Sticky Fingers is definitely a step above, but I’ve lived both so 5/5 no regrets.
Very country sounding but of course teeming with hits
Liked it, nice mix of feels within the blues rock style. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses stand out as you'd expect but show off very different aspects of Jäger/Richards' writing. Couple of jam-style tracks feel like filler material though.
Better than I thought it would be
5
Dont get me wrong, it's good classic rock and roll, stands the test of time. Good quality, but didnt overly wow me. Favorite song, Cant You Hear Me Knocking
Leans too hard into the blues portion of blues rock, haistappa vittu, olet saatanan tylsä paska ja päätös on LYÖTY. mönkijällä verehille... kikkeli paistaaa kuvassa, skinny mf... mick jagger saatanan permanentti cutti päällä sen takia ei ole GOAT sen takia john lennon on goat FAT AS FUCK JOHN LENNON...takes the cake niin sanotusti heh. albumi alkaa parilla heikolla biisillä, paranee huomattavasti cant you hear me knocking
Wild horses.
Brown Sugar, boom 💥 what a way to kick things off, one of the greatest opening tracks. Then we move into Sway, and that grinding riff and the demon life. Just as I think the opening of this album couldn’t get any better, they drop Wild Horses, a lament to the isolation of a touring band. “Yeah you got satin shoes”, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking follows. And that sax solo, oh WOW. QUALITY ALERT - You Gotta Move is the oddity, and not sure I like it, but……….Bitch restores my confidence with some sublime guitar. After all that excitement we slow down into I Got the Blues, take a breath people. Sister Morphine, incidentally Marianne’s song, keeps us in a reflective mood, possibly one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, and oh how I love the guitar work that wraps around the song. We enter the final phase with a Country Rocker. Dead Flowers has a superb chorus, the type of song that conjures visions of a great night in your local bar, hazy drunk and carried away with the euphoria of good times. And the party’s finally over, it’s late in the night and we’re readying ourselves for home. Moonlight Mile takes us home. A brilliant slow rocker, and one of the finest deep cuts the band ever recorded. The Stones legacy was earned between Beggars and Exile, the peak was this. All four are 5 stars in my mind, this is a 5+.
🤷
there are some flashes of greatness, the middle of CYHNK and the end of Moonlight Mile. when they got kinda psychedelic and out there. wish they leaned more into it
2.5/5 The Rolling Stones seemed so country to me. I thought they were more rock and roll or even on the edge of metal. There is too much taint for me to listen to this album with a completely open mind even though I really did try. I liked one song: "Wild Horses," but I actually preferred a different cover that my other half recommended better. Not really my taste.
Saw the band name and was immediately filled with trepidation. Was unnecessary though. This was pretty enjoyable, and maybe because this week has been so poor, probably a stand out album. Not sure if I'll listen again but I do think it's good.
Rock. Blues.
The end of the album makes this a classic. Dead Flowers and Moonlit Mile are classics
Spun it on vinyl and it sounded oh-so-good!
This must be the best Stones album I've tried, end to end. Super polished, confident, showy and groovy all at once. All this despite Brown Sugar makes me wildly uncomfortable...
Didn’t like it and was boring
Although I was never a big Rolling Stones fan, what I can I say about this album? The opening track "Brown Sugar" is an all-time classic. I also quite like "Wild Horses". I also like the blues tracks, such as "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "You Gotta Move", and "I Got The Blues".
Rolling Stones er konge 4.5
Feel like I'm not going to reconcile the two *very* differing views about this album currently topping this section. So be it. The first aptly expresses what's great about this record--with that guitar "weaving" thing for instance. Too bad that same review only evoked the potential "problems" with the lyrical contents of certain songs without offering anything ressembling much of a solution or resolution. But maybe there isn't any satisfactory solution to this conundrum anyway, which is why *Sticky Fingers* is also a document about the age when it was released. Said record indeed irresponsibly tackled with misogynistic and borderline racist takes once in a while, I'm not gonna deny that. But I'll be damned if the way the Stones used those tricky topics to write their stellar songs ain't effective and evocative as fuck. As for the second review, I don't see the point it's trying to make, beyond a subjective "I don't like the music". Comparing the Stones to Led Zeppelin is like comparing apples and oranges anyway. Everyone "liking" this review probably misses the point as well. It's OK to *not* like the Stones. But if you want to offer as much as a convincing explanation for your hot take, you need to be a little more articulate than that. Many fans are around the corner, aren't they? Not that anyone's opinion matters, be it positive or negative. Keith Richards is gonna bury us all anyway, lol. So why bother? What can I add? *Sticky Fingers* is one of the best Rolling Stones ever, period. And among their other masterpieces (*Aftermath*, *Beggars Banquet*, *Let It Bleed* and *Exile On Main Street*), it's certainly the most *cohesive* of the bunch. The many grassroots blues cuts scattered on those other LPs are surely endearing, and they bring interesting moods and flavors. But let's be realistic, they're also fillers between the hits. Whereas in *Sticker Fingers*, there's almost no filler to speak of: the grassroots blues interludes are kept at a very strict minimum, and the vast majority of the tracks packs a punch, be it a rocker ("Brown Sugar", "Bitch"), a rhythm'n'blues-induced demonic jam ("Can't You Hear Me Knocking"), a drug-addled tale of sorrow ("Sister Morphine", co-written with Marianne Faithfull), a country cut ("Dead Flowers"), or a poignant ballad ("Wild Horses" and "Moonlight Mile", up there with "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Salt Of The Earth" and "Angie" in that pantheon of the best Stones ballads ever). Oh, and the Andy Warhol artwork sure is iconic. Only his own Velvet Underground banana can beat it. 5 stars, what else? Number of albums left to review: 485 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 245 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 115 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 153.
Hate Brown Sugar but love Moonlight Mile so.
Okay I guess.
Probably the most famous of the Stones' albums, it also best demonstrates the Stones’ brand of uninspiring, mundane, rock music. Also, the 5th Stones album I’ve been served with over here.
Hail the Mick Taylor era
dont let me go there
not bad
alright some dips in quality keep this from being any higher but okay album
Classic blues rock. The stones have definitely influenced Black Crows, and many other modern blues rock bands.
For a Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers didn't really hit me in the way I expected it to. It was more blues rock but not in the same way their earlier works sounded, where I expected more of a rock n roll vibe. Probably the most interesting part of the album was the cover art where they managed to have an image of a man in tight jeans with a fully functioning zipper exposing some tighty-whities. Best: Wild Horses Worst: I Got The Blues 2.5 Stars
This is the best Rolling Stones album, and it has this album cover. As crazy as it may seem, never has the Stones ever been as good as Sticky Fingers. This album I believe might be the pinnacle of blues rock during the 60s and 70s as by this point, rock had begun a change from the days of early psychedelic rock and blues and towards a much more diverse place. Starting off the record is Brown Sugar, an incredibly great if racist song. It truly does suck that the lyrics are as controversial as they are as this is the best example of blues rock there is. Like, everything about it is peak blues in my opinion. Sway is still blues rock but it’s a bit slower and more melodic. A nice place to be at after Brown Sugar. Wild Horses follows and it might be one of their most famous. It’s a nice ballad that’s also really dynamic. In fact the four ballads (Wild Horses, I Got the Blues, Sister Morphine, and Moonlight Mile) are all dynamic. They have parts where they are more intense, more somber, booming parts, and slow parts. It makes these songs stand out more than they already are. Wild Horses might be the best out of all of them for the sheer reason that I like the performance and songwriting more but it’s not like the other songs have terrible songwriting or anything like that. After that, we have Can’t You Hear Me Knocking which is their best song. Like of their catalog. The song is split up into two parts; a dirty hard rock section and a Latin influences jazz rock section. The first part is so good. Everything is perfect. I’d consider it proto metal in a way, even though metal was already a thing by this point. No matter, this part does fit a specific vibe and it’s amazing. The second part is a little less interesting at first but it’s way more complex. It’s a jam session, complete with a saxophone, different percussion instruments, and a jazzier guitar solo. This Latin infused jazz part is truly amazing. And to think it was improvised. Sometimes I forget truly how good the instrumentalists are in The Rolling Stones. They are great. They are great songwriters and great improvers. These first four songs are the highlights but this whole blues sound continues and remains great. I do truly mean it when I say this album is great. It’s one of the greatest blues rock albums, it has one of the best blues rock songs, and the best example of the Stones’ style. It’s not my personal favorite Stones record (Beggars Banquet was my first Stones album and it really developed my love for music) but this is amazing. It is peak Stones and a definite 10/10.
Not keen on the last Stones album but this one was just at the right time with a mixture of styles and genres. Good to listen to.
Meh
Pretty much like every Stones album, some absolute gems with a bit of filler.
Classic
A classic record and still one of the best by the Rolling Stones
Rocky. Bluesy. Groovy. Has "Wild Horses" on it.
Classic stones. Some absolute bangers but nothing inoffensive. Stones B sides are so easy to listen to, I’d love an album of their blusier songs
Torn between 4 and 5. This is the most consistent Stones album I’ve listened to IMO. The musicality is amazing. The riffs and jams are solid. I’m going 4 but could have said 5 on another day.
Best songs: Wild Horses 8/10 Can't You Hear Me Knocking? 8/10
The stones at their very best!
From the very first moments of the album, "Sticky Fingers" grabs your attention and refuses to let go. The opening track, "Brown Sugar," sets the tone with its infectious guitar riffs, Charlie Watts' solid drumming, and Mick Jagger's distinctive vocals. This song alone demonstrates the Stones' ability to create irresistible hooks and memorable melodies. What makes this album truly remarkable is its seamless blend of different musical styles. Tracks like "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers" showcase the band's mastery of country-infused rock, highlighting their versatility as musicians. These songs carry a sentimental and introspective vibe, delivering heartfelt lyrics and evoking a sense of nostalgia.
Wild Horses is a jam! Can't You Hear My Knocking last half is awesome! Overall solid album, and legitimately probably my first time actually listening through a Stones album front to back. Moonlight Mile is surprisingly good! Never heard this song before but it's right up in the style of music I've been liking lately. Seriously this is a fucking jam! Moonlight Mile as a closer might be tipping it into 5. I love this track! I'm also a sucker for a good opening / closing track.
This is my favorite of the Rolling Stones albums, it's bluesy, yet they're doing a lot with it and exploring some interesting things. All the songs are solid on the album, with some all time greats on there as well. I think Can't You Hear Me Knockin would have been a huge hit if it wasn't so long. There's a lot of wistful emotion here as well. The fact that they packaged it with a genius bit of marketing is just the icing on the cake 5/5
I expected more rock but it gave me more classic american folk with a rock twist. No heads were boppin
Rolling stones for a reason
If it ain't broke...
when dinosaurs walked the earth, when the Stones were young, when this record sounded exciting and new
Superb album from British rock royalty
Getting a little tired of The Rolling Stones in this list. Not a fan.
I enjoyed the album. It is certainly better than a 3. Can't Hear Me Knocking is the best song on the album. Dead Flowers brings the album down which prevents rounding up.
Ok
Biased review incoming; This is my favorite Rolling Stones album. My Mom owns the vinyl with the working zipper, as a kid I would zip and unzip the album cover. Now I look back and think, why the fuck did they let me fuck up their albums. Anyway, this is the best album from one of the greatest musical groups ever to record music. They were in their bag, every track bangs. Amazing opening track with Brown Sugar, drop in one of the greatest songs ever Wild Horses, sprinkle in a Townes Van Zandt cover Dead Flowers, and end with maybe the greatest closing track Moonlight Mile. If this isn't a Top 50 all time album - we can't be friends.
I've never really understood the love for The Rolling Stones, but I got a little glimpse of that on this album. This is the not the first Stones album we've been dealt but it is the first one that made me say, Okay.
This was a great album. So many good songs and to think it came out in ‘71.
probably a bit before my time, not something I would usually listen to but its still somehow nostalgic?
Everything you could want from The Rolling Stones. Classic sound. Classic songs.
The only stones album I've heard is Let It Bleed, which I really loved. Excited to see how this one stacks up! The record kicks off with "Brown Sugar." It's a certified blues rock classic, though it can definitely be an uncomfortable listen. I have to lean into good faith and assume this is some very pointed satire, especially coming out in 1971. Soon after we get one of my favorite stones songs with "Wild Horses" I think I still prefer "let it Bleed" but that could change with future listens
Classic
I was always much more Beatles than Stones, with this album cementing some of the reasons why. The faux-americana of tracks like Dead Flowers makes me physically cringe. What were they even thinking. The lyrics of Brown Sugar are just pretty strange as well. It could make for a good sombre, thought provoking track but the music alongside the lyrics makes it sound almost celebratory of the raping of slaves. Wtf Mick. Other than that it's alright. 2.5*
I was never really exposed to the Stone outside of whatever I heard on classic rock radio, but this was a good mix of blues and great riffs, and just some good rock and roll. Loved the backing vocals on some of these songs, and the highlight for me was Can't You Hear Me Knocking and that epic jam for the last 4 min of the song.
A lot of diversity in style in this Rolling Stones album. Quite enjoyable. Dead Roses is a favourite.
Lots of songs about heroin, but this still gets a perfect score from me. Perfect blend between blues, rock and abit of country (though not as much as some other albums). Timeless tunes like brown sugar, can’t you hear me knocking
So far my experience is the the Rolling Stones made great singles not great albums and so far this has been the case as well, the songs aren't bad they were quite good but it didn't feel cohesive as an album for me overall forgettable outside a few singles.
Owned on vinyl! Maybe my favorite Rolling Stones album. Brown Sugar is a rough one to say the least. Awesome physical vinyl, a classic and must own.
Nice
I mean it's Sticky Fingers
Enjoyed this album all the way through. It's such a classic. WAAIIIIIIIIIILDDDD HOARRRRRRSSESSSSS
The Stones deliver hard rock and roots rock brilliantly, co-opting an American sound but rendering it so perfectly and with a haunting air of menace and threat. Jagger sounds so good here but Richards really delivers the goods and pulsatingly drives the whole album along. The extra musicians bring a depth of sound to the arrangements which make the whole thing so memorable and the highlight, Wild Horses, is an absolutely fine record. Yes, the lyrics of some are problematic, but it is hard to disagree with how iconic this album is. I should really spend more time with this before awarding five stars but if I do I think the outcome will be the same.
Great album, a classic. Not their best in my opinion but lots of great songs.
Such a great listen. The songs you recognize are classics, the ones you don’t - you’ll wonder how come they’re not. Andy Warhol cover. Bare bones , a real treat.
meh
It was good, but unfortunately it’s hard for me to like this when I’ve been spoiled by people pushing the envelope further and further to where this sounds very vanilla. The songs are all solid for the most part, but don’t sound like anything I can’t get anywhere else nowadays. The one standout I got was Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, as well as liking the others hits such as Queen Morphine. Compared to the other British Invasion acts, this one seems to have aged in a way that makes it seem generic (which might be a good thing if everyone copied this style?) rather than revolutionary. Good, but don’t have a lot of desire to revisit.
Amazing rock sound, great use of panning too. The change of mood from "Bitch" to "I Got The Blues" was somewhat satisfying and th drums on "Sister Morphine" are amazing. Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Moonlight Mile were my favorites. 8.5/10
Very fun album. Very interesting to hear such a heavy American influence (blues, country, etc.) from the British rock legends.
some of the stones best, but i still don’t love the stones - i have yet to click w them
some of the rolling stones' biggest hits are on sticky fingers. as someone who mostly knows only the stones' hits from the radio, it was a different experience to listen to this album in its entirety. their hits are generally straight up rock and roll, but i found much more depth in the other songs here. i mean, yes, it was a lot of rock! but the stones incorporated blues, folk, a pinch of jazz that was unexpected but not unwelcome. sticky fingers made for an interesting listen that kept rewarding me the more i paid attention. also, "brown sugar" is a bop.
Considering "Brown Sugar" is one of my favorite Stones songs, if not my absolute favorite, I expected to love this album more. I find the A-Side/B-Side single pairing of "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch" to be fitting and fun, but the rest of the album doesn't really do it for me as much. The rest of the album is very heavy on roots rock and even bluesy rock. Still a decent entry from the Stones, just not my fave.
Wow, The Rolling Stones can make a good album... Never knew
A really great offering from a band who were at their peak. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses lead the way, along with decent blues numbers You Gotta Move and I Got The Blues. I also like Sway which features some extended soloing from Mick Taylor (or is it Keith?) and finishes strongly with Moonlight Mile. Every so nearly a 5*
Yet another huge band who I've largely ignored, yet again I'm pretty impressed and left wondering why I hadn't been arsed to listen earlier. Some very good tracks here. The jangly guitar ones don't exactly do it for me, but they have enough going for them that I wasn't put off like other jangly guitar from this era. 3.5 Fav track: Moonlight mile
Tough one to review - a shaggy album that takes multiple diversions in style, some successful, some dodgy riffs on genres they don't have a handle on. Includes some elements of jammy 70s rock that don't appeal to me. However, the ballads really brought it home for me, and I thought the album finished incredibly strong. In short, it won't be one I'll listen through to often, but certain tracks are real winners. A strong three and a half. Fave track: Sister Morphine
First proper listen to a Stones record in full. Hate to just jump on a bandwagon of praise, but I did really really like this. Can’t decide whether side A or side B is better honestly - great songwriting throughout and have a sneaky feeling some tracks will continue to grow on me. Four and a half. Fave track: Moonlight Mile
Thank God the Beatles broke up and ended up spending the early 70s independently writing and exploring their own talents. But also- thank God the Stones DIDN'T break up during that same time, when it would've made way more sense for them to have done so following Brian Jones' death. Because if they had, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wouldn't have made some of their best work. Unlike some of the other artists we've reviewed as a group who took the wrong lessons from a successful album, resulting in a lackluster follow-up, Sticky Fingers feels like a band that realized what worked in Let it Bleed, and went all in. Jagger and Richards click all over the record. In 2023, Brown Sugar's lyrics and themes have aged poorly. But I'd be a liar if I pretended that opening riff didn't instantly pull me right back in with this album. And then the "Woo" "Woo" "Wooooos"- coordinated and timely woos are the essence of what's fun in rock and roll and being part of a band. And look, Mick Jagger represents the sex appeal and spirit of a front man- not the poetic lyricist. So when he says "No sweeping exits or offstage lines could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind" that's just about as great a lyric as you can get, and with the drumming that perfectly fills the space to drive the song but also go under the radar and the smooth licks from the band, it is the Stones' most sincere ballad. And it also gave us the cover by The Sundays- which if you've never heard Harriet Wheeler sing that one, you should check it out ASAP! The twangy guitar from Richards on Dead Flowers and basically throughout the album is a classic sound, that demonstrates plainly to me that no matter how old rock and roll gets its still based in the country and blues sounds of the black musicians the Stones so badly wanted to emulate- and at times really did honor that legacy. But what elevates this above the other work by the Rolling Stones to me are the horns and orchestral accompaniments consistently sprinkled through the songs, particularly Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Moonlight Mile. And while the heart of the band is still the classic blues garage band-"not everyone can be the Beatles but anyone can cut loose with their friends and make some fun tunes" vibe that Steve Van Zandt basically described of the Stones, the bigger arrangements show the composership of Richards and Jagger. Taking all the right lessons from You Can't Always Get What You Want and paving the way for basically everything Oasis did on Be Here Now- which may have backfired for Oasis (if you agree with the critics) but this album nails it. The Stones aren't my favorite band, but I really enjoy this record.
Typical Stones album: has a couple huge hits (can’t you hear me, wild horses, brown sugar) and some of the dumbest blues songs you’ve ever heard (you gotta move, I got the blues). Never listened to Sway all that much but really enjoyed the groove this time around. Can’t you hear me knocking has a similar mid tempo groove that fucking rips. The first half of that song is peak rock n roll. The riff is great, the drums are simple but groove, and kick jagger adds a ton of attitude to it. Bitch gets right back into the rocking songs after the shit show of you gotta move but is followed up by another couple dull songs. Those ones aren’t as bad just not great. Dead flowers has always made me laugh and is a funny fake country song. Moonlight mile is a classic sounding album closer. Good album that could be great if you trim that fat and replace it with one or two more well written songs. Like I said though that’s just about every stones album. 👍: can’t you hear me knocking, sway
I was about four tracks, and when I was ready to resign, writing this off as another average, Dad rock album. Then can you hear me knocking started playing🔥 the way the guitar matches the lyrics during the hook he’s like candy to my ears. Overall though, that was the only highlight. Most of the album just kinda dredged on for me, not bad. Not good.
Some bangers on here and some duds. You gotta move is actually hilariously bad and it sounds like that one tik tok sound I’m the beginning 😂. First three songs was a pretty good run, first 4 even. Also I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to the brown sugar lyrics and they are actually wild asf. Song still slaps though. Dont feel like I was missing much having not heard this. I’ve already heard the best songs and the rest of them I could do without. Actually sway could make it into my Rotation. Won’t be revisiting but it was an enjoyable listen still. Best: brown sugar, sway Was gonna try to be different for MMM but I don’t think there’s much comp here: BROWN SUGAR🗣️HOW COME YOU TASTE SO GOOD😮 BROWN SUGAR🗣️ (redacted)🤨
One of the legendary Rolling Stone albums. To be honest, my story with this album is not the most special -that place belongs to Exile in Main St.- but have to recognize the pedigree of this work. With their most memorable tunes included , such as Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can’t you hear me knocking, and Dead Flowers, and little to no weak songs, this is one of the most solid albums from the 70s
I’ve seen this ranked as the Stones’ best album, but again I came away expecting more. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent listen (as far as highlights go: Moonlight Mile is great and the guitar riff on Brown Sugar is undeniable). It’s just that at no point during it did I think ‘wow, these guys are/were the best band in the world’, or even ‘nobody sounds like The Rolling Stones’. Because lots of bands do, no? 3 / 3.5
Hard to imagine a world without some of these songs.
Pre thoughts: I like TRS but I have heard their albums are boring to listen to I.e some of the deep cuts aren't as good. Track 1: Brown Sugar. Love this song. Track 3: wild horses good slow ballad Track 4: Can't you hear me knocking. OK but bored of the 4 min solo. Does nothing for me Track 5: You gotta move: 2/5 Track 6: Better. Upbeat Track. Good solo. Sister Morphine. Love the solo and the guitar work
Good I guess. I don’t know, wasn’t special for me.
It was extremely easy to rate this album: since five starts is maximum, five stars it is. Sister Morphine, You Gotta Move, I Got the Blues, Wild horses - just to mention some of the great stuff on this album!
A classic, simple as that
Favorite song: I Got The Blues
Dad rocks; although the brass section surprised me
Great straight-ahead rock music with strong moods. One star deducted for the annoying delta blues pastiche in the middle which kills the flow for me. When I want that, I’ll listen to a proper blues album.
Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones Brown sugar - 3/5 Sway - 4/5 Wild horses - 3/5 Can't you hear me knocking - 2/5 You gotta move - 2/5 Bitch - 4/5 I got the blues - 3/5 Sister morphine - 3/5 Dead flowers - 4/5 Moonlight mile - 3/5 Favs: Sway Bitch Dead flowers
Dope af, thoroughly enjoyed it. Really easy listen with tons of awesome moments.
Good
One of stones better albums, although for me personally, I was never a stones fan, i dont get why so many people get a hard on for their music, and this album, although ok, is nothing outstanding. That said, there are a few good tracks on here, Brown Sugar being a great opening track, and Wild Horses a simple and enchanting track, but a lot of the rest drifts off into a New Orleans style bluesy musical drawl that could have been better, but I found I really couldn't be bothered listening to it a lot of the time, simply waiting for the next track. On a plus point, for an album that's over 50 years old, the good bits still command a really good sound.
Really like this album, good mix of the classic 'Stones' along with some more mellow stuff and even country.
Can’t you hear me knocking is an automatic 4, the question is whether or not the rest of the album fills in the gap. With a rocking start and passionate singing Mcjagger, Keith, Charlie, and the other guy put together a powerful message to all rock n roll wannabes. That shit better rip! But also to say don’t be afraid to throw some sax and sadness into it, it yangs out the yin. Rolling Stones have always been an enjoyable band, but have never been a favorite. That being the case, I can objectively say this album is wonderful and inclusive of some genre defining sounds. Love it! The gaps are filled in by brown Sugar, wild horses, kinda Bitch, kinda dead flowers and a strong finish with moonlight mile. Long live Brit rock!
- tbh a little too ~classic~ rock for me - not as much energy as I wanted or anticipated - 2.5 round up - Bitch is a banger
-It’s clear why they’re one of the GOATs - They effortlessly create groove - Love the sound of the drum kit
Not my favourite Rolling Stones album
Смишной дурашлевый альбик 8/10
Love the penis, iconic album art, very homoerotic (which is a good thing) Very clearly a bridge between the music of the late 60s and the 70s Definition of Rock n Roll, iconic for a reason, at the peak of its genre I'm not the biggest fan of that kind of rock though, thinking like a stron 8/10
Pretty boring
🐴🐴
Never really been a Stones fan
For me, the Rolling Stones really only have three great albums: “Let It Bleed”, “Exile on Main Street“, and “Sticky Fingers“. Every other album to me seems to have a few Klunkerz on it especially the early albums and stuff made after about 1982, but not this one it’s great.
Dig it
Yes
1 week, 2 rolling stones albums. bored as always
Classic. Lots more blues/jam than I expected.
Classic album, an epitome of its era. It aged a bit though.
HL: "Wild Horses", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Moonlight Mile", "Brown Sugar" April 24, 2023
My first Stones record on here. I've never really listened to them outside the huge singles so I'm looking forward to hearing these. This is an odd one to start with for me, I think. It kicks off with Brown Sugar; a song played so much it's probably impossible to hear it in any way new. Then, I've got to be honest, most of the rest of the album just sort of washed over me. It does sound "important" and I did enjoy it but I can't imagine I'll play it again. Except for Wild Horses; a song I love so much it brings the whole album a star in my ratings.
I mean it's a perfect sounding album, but you have to take away a star for the lyrics on "Brown Sugar." Even the band is embarrassed enough to no longer play it live. It's unfortunate because musically it's a joy, but it's foolish to ignore what is being celebrated in the lyrics. Best to consign that one to the past.
Un très bon début, pas mal d'excellents titres, vraiment cool. Brown sugar, dead flowers, Wild horses... Pas parfait mais définitivement un classique.
I mean, it’s The Rolling Stones. What’s not to like?
Awesome
Not a total fan of the Stones and this album has bad memories as I had to work all my Easter holiday to buy the album for someone because someone stole the copy he lent me ! I do love the riffs of Don't you hear me Knocking and Gimme Shelter ( not on this album) so I'm going high 3, could be low 4.
Meh. Like the previous Rolling Stones album, it doesn't do anything for me.
It's a classic, an awesome feel-good album, perfect for roadtrips and bbq parties. Simply love it.
4.75
A lot of this has been done before and better, by the Stones and other beat groups. Probably would have enjoyed it more if the first track wasn’t about the systemic rape of enslaved black women.
The Rolling Stones were a huge deal. I personally never got into them. I don't dislike them. I just never really seek them out. So this will be a fun listen. It was good. Nothing mind blowing or nothing that stuck out.
It's a Rolling Stones album. Some good songs, some okay songs, some 'homages' to old blues and gospel music of the past. Other than Beggars, Aftermath and possibly Let It Bleed, Stones albums tend to follow this patchy pattern, and Fingers is no exception. Dead Flowers is an absolute classic, and Brown Sugar has THAT riff. Wild Horses probably fits into the canon of classic Stones songs too, but I have heard it so much it kind of passed me by here. Those songs aside, this is definitely not their best or most consistent.
ACE riffs right from the start. There's some great sax on Brown Sugar that is hidden way down in the mix. I didn't know that Billy Preston appeared on this album. Wild Horses is both morose and uplifting. It has that rare quality of recognising that life can be shitty, but gives you a helping hand to rise above it. I think? The rest of the album rambles a little with Can't You Hear Me Knocking. It's best not to analyse and navel gaze - just enjoy Sticky Fingers. It's only rock 'n' roll, YEAH?
Somehow didn't really dig this one, like, at all. Wild horses was good. Brown sugar was racist and rapey. Idk man won't revisit
Nope. Still not a fan of classic rock. However this was better than I was expecting.
Classic but not a big stones fan.
Classic
не мои ребята, не мой жанр, утомляюсь
Overall pretty strong album. Very bluesy at times. Brown Sugar lyrics are pretty dated but the groove is good. Have it on vinyl and will listen again.
One of the all time classics. From the opening driving power chords of Brown Sugar (they need to bring it back, nothing boogies harder) to Sway's anthemic chorus, WIld Horses (Gram Parsons for the win!!!!), Can't You Hear Me Knocking!!!!!!!, the slide blues of You Gotta Move, The Bitch, Sister Morphine!! Dead Flowers. The Midnight Mile. Is there a bad song on this album? No. Not at all
7/10. Dead flowers is excellent, the rest is pretty good.
I think this is The Rolling Stones at their absolute best. For once I feel like I understand the hype. Why did that guy feel like writing a whole novel for his review tho? 10/10
Why is the drummer in the back hallway
Gets better every time I listen to it. Near the pinnacle of a classic rock and roll album.
8.5/10 muy gueno tiene wild horses y la cancion racist. dms consistente y 0 skips
Great classic of an album with some rad jam sections
They say you're either a Stones fan or a Beatles fan, but you damn well must like one over the other. I'm a Beatles fan. I dig the Stones. This is a pretty good record and I completely understand why it is a classic in the truest sense of the word. But I'm just not thrilled by it. There are about 5 songs by the Stones that I think are among the best songs ever written/recorded, but only Wild Horses and Dead Flowers are on this record. Just to demonstrate where I'm at, I fucking LOVE these two songs. But the Stones didn't even like the song Wild Horses so they gave it to the Flying Burrito Brothers. Then after everyone liked it a ton, they recorded it themselves. And by far the best version of Dead Flowers was done by Townes Van Zandt. So, I'm not trying to diminish the songs or the Stones in any way, but I suppose that just goes to demonstrate that I never connected with this band the way many do.
I said it
Meh
I'm feeling so tired, can't understand it Just had a fortnight's sleep I'm feeling so stuffed, I'm so distracted Ain't touched a thing all week I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy Ain't touched a drink all night I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason Just had a horse meat pie Yeah when you call my name I salivate like a Pavlov dog Yeah when you lay me out My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix It must be love, it's a bitch This is a GOAT album - When it was released on vinyl, the fucking zipper on the album worked! 5/5
good but not their best
It’s all a bit samey isn’t it? It’s very well done but it doesn’t excite me that much… there are better covers of Wild Horses out there than this original.
Starts off good but then nothing much to shout about. Solid album
I actually really wanted to be Mick Jagger this past Halloween because my hair worked out quite conveniently and I do love the Stones. His voice kind of reminds me Neil Young's, it lowkey kind of sucks, but his songs make up for it. This one's a keeper; 'Sway' and 'Sister Morphine' were my highlights. And by the way, Mick Jagger is not Kesha's dad. Do not let untitled2 fool you with such damaging misinformation.
I actually knew a guy nicknamed Sticky Fingers in high school. None of you want to hear his backstory but I'm telling you regardless. Are you ready? No? Well here we go! So Sticky Fingers, Sticky for short, was three years older than me, like most of my friends at the time. I was not acquainted with any of them when they were early high school students, but by the time I was a freshman and they were seniors we became friends. Occasionally I had heard the rest of the group refer to him as Sticky behind his back, but I was never one to but in and ask for the backstory. Two years later, while they were all in college, everyone was just drunk enough to tell me the whole story. So here it is... As sophomores in high school, the group threw a party one Saturday. The group was primarily guys, a few of their girlfriends too, but in general it was a real sausage fest. They all got very very hammered that night, as was usual for their soirees. I should also mention that they were notorious for their gay tendencies. I'm talking sneaky nuts (urban dictionary if you don't know), ass slaps, drunk smooches on the cheek. You name it, they probably did it. But back to the story. On this night, someone had a grand idea of doing a circle jerk onto a piece of white bread. So they did it. They all gathered around, whipped their cocks out, and started masturbating onto a piece of Wonder Bread. Why the Indian man hosting the party had Wonder Bread at his house is beyond me, but he did. Eventually, everyone finished except for one - Sticky. Sticky felt ashamed, and frankly he needed to finish for his own wellbeing, so he stumbled into a room. In that room, blacked out on a bed, was one of the guys in the group. He had been knocked out for over an hour now and had no concept that the circle jerk had happened. Well, Sticky, in his drunken state, pulled his dick back out and started tugging at it again. Now that he was in private, he could really focus on the task in hand. All of a sudden, he felt it cumming. With nowhere to put the incoming ejaculate, he chose the only logical spot: the sleeping man's hand. The next morning, the sleeping man woke up from his alcohol induced coma and found that his hand had something weird on it. Asking the rest of the group, they were all confused too. As they walked back through the events of the night, they finally deduced this story. Sticky later admitted to one person that he did do it, and that person told the rest of the group. And that is the story of Sticky Fingers. I hope you all enjoyed.
I urge everyone, men and women, to go commando. I know you may be thinking, “that’s poor hygiene!” Well, actually it’s not. It’s actually more hygienic because underwear is a hot bed for bacteria. When you’re commando, your jennies have room to breathe. Also, it feels much more freeing and there’s a sense of loving your body and living proudly in it when you go commando. I task everyone with trying to go commando. Try one day, one week, one month, one year. Whatever let’s you sleep at night, hopefully you do that naked as well but that’s besides the point. Try it out in jeans, khakis, dress pants, sweatpants, daisy dukes, whatever the hell you want. Trust me, you’re gonna like it more than you think.
Liked Wild Horses. I just don’t think I’m a very big Stones fan.
It might be boring to say it but this is the best album of this mighty band. It shows that the Stones were also a great band in the studio itself. 'Wild Horses' and 'Moonlight Mile' are highlights for the ages.
Good rock album. I was listening to this at the perfect time on the road. My favorite song was “Moonlight Mile”.
Good
I had heard most of these tracks many times when I was younger. While I'm still not a very consistent Stones fan, there are some good songs on this one. I appreciate how important and influential they have been on so much music and culture since the 60s, but, honestly, while a handful of their songs are truly excellent to my ears, I'm just not wildly into them overall.
Sounds a little dated. Some nice nostalgic moments, but I like my rock to be a bit more distorted. After growing up in the 90's this kinda still feels like my parents generation sound.
toight toight toight toight pants (fav songs: brown sugar, sway, wild horses)
is good ⭐⭐⭐
Solid outing.
Good solid oldies, but nothing new.
Couple of great songs, a couple of stinkers. This album is more notable for the cover art than the music. A strong opener and closer help it, but 'You Gotta Move' and 'Sister Morphine' are low points.
Initially I was, like 'oh no a Rolling Stones album,' but this was very good. Brown Sugar is my favourite song.
Masterpiece
4.5/5
This really feels like a complete Rolling Stones album, full of swagger, sex and soul. Good stuff
It's the rolling stones I guess, reasonably enjoyable listen.
DRUGS!! very lovely album, interesting psychedelic ideas. just generally very pleasant. And yet, so rich with sadness and frustration. Very beatles inspired but with a sorrow all of its own.
4 3 4 5 2 5 3.5
This is the Rolling Stones at their prime. Before they became parodies of themselves. Before they became drug-addled, age-ravaged puppets on spitting image. This may be their most downbeat album, but it works for me. Sister Morphine and Wild. Horses are still beautiful pieces of music.
I enjoyed this album. Some fun slide guitar parts and memorable tunes, but nothing that makes what to jump up and dance. Good background music at the local drinking hole.
Come for the rock, stay for the blues.
It's easy for me to disregard the brilliance of this band. They are just so engrained in my music experience, I was never one to listen to Stones' albums, for whatever reason. I guess I felt like I was fed a steady diet of the band's music without doing any work at all. That's not to say I haven't listened to Stones' records. I love "Exile On Main St." But I've also tried with albums like "Beggar's Banquet" and found that I really liked the hits and was less enamored with the rest of the material. But this album (which I own) is insane. I don't love every second of it, but god damn, these guys were pushing the envelope, writing amazing songs, embodying rock 'n roll in every way. Brilliant album.
I was never much of a Stones fan, but my friend Jim managed to get me into a few of their albums when I was in my 30's (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Satanic Majesty's). But for whatever reason, this one just never appealed. Clearly, there's a lot of care in the arrangements and production. And I do like some of the songs (Moonlight Mile, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, I Got the Blues), but none of them would be my top ten Stones' songs. And meanwhile, Wild Horses has never done a thing for me; Sister Morphine... I don't know, songs about addiction mostly bore me; You Gotta Move is like nails on a chalkboard; and I don't even really know what to think about Brown Sugar (though the "You should've heard them just around midnight" part is a damn catchy piece of songwriting). So, I get that people love this. It's just not for me.
Can't remember if it was my brother's or my cousin's copy of this album but one of them had the version in which there was a real zipper. I must have been in 7th or 8th grade and wowsa...this album cover. I loved them before I heard the first note! At the time I compared everything to The Beatles and Dylan so this was my first foray into “hard rock.” The Beatles and Dylan satisfied my intellect but the Stones tapped into something visceral. Some of my hardest dancing (alone in my room or at a college party) happened with The Rolling Stones. I heard Andre sing Wild Horses the very first time I saw him perform, which was the second time I met him. I was a complete goner. So the Stones have so many deeply personal memories...I suppose for all of us. Every song is a banger
5-star filth.
Omslaget är bättre och mer klassisk än vad låtarna är.
I guess I somewhat like this because it’s familiar. There are some good grooves. It’s not really my thing though. Okay, Can’t you hear me knocking is actually super cool. Is it gonna be a theme that I prefer famous bands’ unknown instrumental pieces?? Bitch has some fun instrumentation. Sister Morphine is kinda cool. Dead flowers is a country song? It sounds so different from the rest of the album. I like Moonlight Mile. Not sure I understand it but it’s kinda scratching my brain. This album is such a mixed bag, it’s wild.
Classic Stones
Really good. Liked the bluesy parts of this one!
Very varied
Absolutely not
Great album, more blues inspired than I thought it would be. Brown sugar, sway, wild horses and can’t you hear me knocking are brilliant. 4.5
This was my first Stones album. It was pretty good but I don’t see the big appeal just yet. I think they need more time with me to sit with me, so I can appreciate them more
Southern vibes, slow, blues-y
Such a heinous southern accent. 9/10.
A southern drawl hoedown for the ages offering moments of pure jubilation and devastating sadness.
Can´t deny it´s good music, more bluesy at times than i thought. Just not a fan of Mick´s voice.
It is not in my top 3 RS (1. Exile, 2. Beggars Banquet 3. Let It Bleed - all of which generated by the generator before) but still a clear 5.
I maintain that I'm not a fan of the Rolling Stones, but I keep giving 5 stars to their albums. Not sure what is going on there.
Very well balanced Stones album, my one but most favourite (after Exile on Main St.).
acceptable.
Well old this lot
The early Stones albums are just brilliant.
Surprised how much I liked this.
Classic jams. The horns are a fun addition but don’t add to the overall rock feel.
Can really hear the southern blues influences
lujo asiático cada tema
El mejor de los Stones despues de EOMS. Influyente como pocos. 5/5
I like Brown Sugar as long as I don’t think about the meaning. I also like Wild Horses. The rest kinda smushed into one in my head.
Starting off with the controversial Brown Sugar - gonna be a good one. Stones are always good.
Not my favourite Rolling Stones album. It starts off strong but peters out pretty quickly in my opinion. Additionally not a big fan of the country sound on some of these Saved tracks: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses
Mögulega besta Stones platan af mörgum mjög góðum. Mick Taylor frábær og Jagger í góðu formi, grúvin góð, brass og píanó vel nýtt, og meira að segja strengir í Moonlight mile. Keith er svoddan lúði en hann kann líka sitt fag. Fæ aldrei leið á þessari.
I ended up liking this more than I expected. Organs and horns add a lot to the Stones' sound and work beautifully on the album. Great guitar work as usual from Keith Richards. My only real problem with it is the songs that veer more towards country/honky tonk and the use of slide guitar, which I have never liked. But even these songs are still good, and the album really works as a whole with them there.
2.5
Clean and classic Stones. For those researching the era this is a very decent rocker
Dad rocks sucksx
listened to this many times, what a classic. Just love it.
ok
An absolutely great album. Exile in Main St and this one are probably two of the stones best albums. They have many others that contend with how they consistently put out great jams on albums but sticky fingers Is a whole of great songs that have great instrumentals and the lyrics are always interesting whether it be about drugs life women etc. This album can be listened to all the time and replayed constantly. It’s quite good. 9.1/10
Wow, just amazing.
Those who have an issue with Brown Sugar and Bitch are missing the point. Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. The brilliance lies in the deep cuts anyway. Wild Horses, Dead Flowers, and Moonlight Mile are in my Stones top 10. This album is part of the Stones' fabled 5 consecutive album run. Exile will forever be my all time favorite Stones album, but I have no problem admitting that I cheat on my favorite from time to time. Seems appropriate. Send me dead flowers every morning and I won't forget to put roses on your grave.
Starts off with iconic guitar riff in "Brown Sugar," other standout is slower "Wild Horses". Occasional older, folkier sound to offset the rock and roll.
Ye
solid
Outstanding Stones!
Obviously, GREAT album. Forgot the hits in this one. Solid 4. T3B 1. Can’t You Hear Me Knocking 2. Wild Horses 3. Brown Sugar
Un très bel hommage des Rolling Stones envers le roi de la couillasse, j'ai nommé Bruce Springsteen. Je pense que je n'apprends rien à personne en disant que le lundi est un jour particulier dans mon entreprise puisque c'est le jour où nous nous faisons livrer des panières de fruits frais. Et justement, en ce lundi matin, n'ayant pas beaucoup de travail, je décidai de manger une poignée d'entre eux en écoutant les Rolling Stones. Laissez-moi maintenant vous partager une difficulté à laquelle je suis confronté pour que vous compreniez là où mène cette anecdote. Étant astreint à recevoir des appels téléphoniques de clients, seules quelques options s'offrent à moi pour justifier le fait de m'absenter un instant de mon bureau. Sachant que le statut "va se chercher un café" ne figure pas dans le menu déroulant, je choisis systématiquement "restroom break", ce qui fait que le logiciel m'affiche comme étant aux toilettes environ trois heures par jour en cumulé. Ce qui m'amène à la mésaventure dont je voulais vous parler. En revenant de la cuisine après avoir jeté mes trognons de pomme et peaux de clémentine, je fus interpellé par mon patron devant tout l'open space: "Alors ça va la chiasse, espèce d'énorme porc ?" Croyez-le ou non, mais je fus extrêmement gêné par cette réflexion.
En tant que directeur officiel du club des détraqueurs des Rolling Stones, je me retrouve bien embêté devant cet album de plutôt bonne facture. Je décide donc d'accorder la note de 4/5 dans l'anonymat je l'espère le plus total.
They’re a singles band aren’t they! Wild Horses is stunning.
4.5 only because Sister Morphine, like most drug songs, is only good for titillating adolescent boys.
Highlights: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Bitch" First time giving the Stones a full listen, but pretty much knew how it was going to go. We can only hear them refracted through the people they influenced, and their contributions are now mostly cliche or worse. The good: The Stones know how to stab. They know how to use space to grab the listener. Their guitarists have a strong connection and know how to fill each other in. The old comparison to the Beatles is kind of absurd, but Stones' lyrics are smarter, with more thrust and coherence. The bad: Their twofold transatlantic minstrel show is especially repugnant on "You Gotta Move" and "Dead Flowers". This is the year after Let It Be and sure enough there's Phil Spector-y bullshit arrangements on a few tracks. It wasn't that far into the Stones' career but it's already kind of an echo chamber for the rock world.
Another great Stones album. Not quite the masterpiece that is Exile...this one still has some great bangers that has to be a 5/5.
one of the best stones albums
The album really is classic Rolling Stones and if i close my eyes I can see Mick Jagger jumping around on the stage which is always a good time.
This album is difficult for me to review. I am rather fond of The Rolling Stones and their approach of making, “bad music,” appeals to me personally. That being said: the starting years of The Rolling Stones was influenced by a lot of albums that did not pleasing, even to the ear of the untrained. In my opinion, “Sticky Fingers,” is one of the better albums they have made. 7/10
Wild horses is one of my favorite so gs of all time. The album is rly good. 🤘🪨🪨
Been trying to get into The Stones for ages, and this album pulled me in! Classic rock tunes with some really spicey saxophone mixed in for flavour. While I jammed to most of the songs, there were a few that where a tad too country for my tastes (looking at Dead Roses...) Probably a low five, but a five nonetheless
Really good album!
Never heard a Rock & Roll album before but this is a great introduction. Catchy and makes you feel like the main character honestly.
Suena como me imaginaba que sonaría un álbum de ellos, me gusta el sonido de las guitarras y saxo asi como las las influencias de otros géneros que se dejan ver en algunas partes
No duff tracks on this album with some absolute classics like Wild Horses and Brown Sugar. What's not to like about this album
well done, oddly country vibes just not my type of rock but classic anyways fav songs: bitch, i got the blues
Some of my favourite Rolling Stones songs
Liked Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Cant You Hear Me Knockin
5
Wonder what is behind that zipper
Pretty good album. Hits are great, rest of tracks are decent. Favorite track: Can't You Hear Me Knocking
I always thought that the Stones were incapable of making an album that was great from beginning to end. This one is no exception. While the first 4 tracks are amazing, it does have some filler here and there. Not as much as on Beggars Banquet, but still. This is a really good album and certainly one of the best for the Stones, but I still maintain that's it better to listen to them via compilations than with proper albums.
Good songs here and there, but as usual with the Stones, they just can't get their combined minds to make a decent album from start to finish.
Good songs here and there, but I never get hook by Rolling stones - not a fan
Half of the album is made of very great and strong songs and the other half is incredibly average and poor. By chance, the nice songs are VERY good.
One of my favorite Stones albums! You can’t go wrong here. Some tracks stick out more than others but still a great rock ‘n’ roll listen from top to bottom.
A very back to basics record. Sometimes you miss the simplicity of what music used to be, and the possibility of what else music could be. Because even if this doesn't necessarily blow minds in 2023, it's a great piece of musical history to go back to. Standout tracks are Brown Sugar (one of my favorite Rolling Stones tracks in general), Wild Horses, and I Got the Blues.
i just can't with this
Highlights: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Alright... not bad... not unenjoyable, but they were never my favorite.
I know this album very well. Dead Flowers brought me to it. For the longest time, I was a stalwart of it is the only one worth listening to. The remaster of Exiles changed that opinion for me and opened up the rest of their catalog outside of the greatest hits.
Decent album. I have no desire to listen to it again, but then it doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest Stones fan. I just don’t find their music very intelligent. Does not speak to me.
It was fine
Great record. Stones at their finest.
One if the great rock records, Mick and Keef at the height of their powers with some added Alabama ‘muscle’.
