Reviews (page 4 of 14)
Classic rock “old school”. Good recording 44.1 / 24.
Really, really wonderful album. Wild Horses, Brown Sugar, Sister Morphine all stand out for me but this is a consistently strong, wonderful album all the way through. Love it. 5/5.
7 / 10 - klassischer blues rock - durchgehend sehr solide Favs: - Wild Horses - Bitch
I was never a Stones fan, but it's still good.
It's rockin', and a lot of blues boppin'. I think this album displays the musical depth of the band and how diverse their influences are. Some all time greats and some others that don't quite live up to the reputation. It's still a good album that I can see myself coming back to.
Creo que nunca me había interesado en ponerme a escuchar a los Rollings, si bien creo que todos los tenemos presentes por ser lo que fueron y todos debemos haber escuchado alguna vez alguno de sus temas más conocidos, jamás me habían interesado. Me encontré escuchando un álbum de rock clásico, con temas casi todos bastante “soft”, que nunca antes había escuchado y que en lo musical me gustaron. Deja en evidencia porque llegaron a ser lo que son, son realmente muy buenos en lo musical, incluyendo diversos instrumentos y ritmos, pero manteniendo un buen balance que a lo largo del álbum te hace pasar por diferentes estados de ánimo. En conclusión, creo que es un buen álbum para escuchar de fondo mientras haces alguna otra cosa, sin ponerse tanto a analizar las letras (que algunas son bastante polémicas, o se tocan temas delicados) y definitivamente mi canción favorita fue Moonlight Mile.
Really enjoyable. Best one yet. Mick Jagger with some excellent vocals and some really well put together songs.
Not my cup of tea but instrumentals sound very good. Give me cowboys, indie western, end scenes in movies. I could only listen to this if I ride a fucked up car travelling to a far city or at the end of a party I ended up being sad drunk at.
some cool songs but overall not my vibe and some quite overstimulating Three made it into my favorites and one into my house playlist: 1. Can‘t you hear me knocking (2009) 2. Wild horses 3. Wild horses (Acoustic version)
Nice! I don't think I've ever listened to this beginning to end, though I have often had Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking in rotation. Third entry in a row from the 1970s. Very bluesy. Can see why this is a classic, though I am partial to Let It Bleed. Wanted to give this a 4 but I think I'll reserve the 4 for other Stones records that I'm sure will pop up. This is definitely a 3.5 The Stones, for me, have some excellent songs but have never been my preferred brand of classic rock. My favorite discoveries here are Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers.
this one's alright, i mean it just sounds like music to me.
Top quality Stones album. Jagger does the blues very well in this album. The highlight of the album is definitely Wild Horses, but the rest (apart from You Gotta Move) is pretty great. One of their best.
YESSSSS
Yup that sure is classic rock. Honestly I never got the reverence for the Stones. They're fine! Good music to put on with the windows down on a hot summer day or to walk into a Five Guys to. Bet the live show was a blast. Wild Horses probably made some teens cry in 1971, some pretty emotional content under Jagger's voice which doesn't fit a ballad feel great. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is, admittedly, a sick tune. BUT it's been done better and heavier by later bands. Getting a little sick of these Brit rock acts doing their impotent versions of spirituals and blues standards, but You Gotta Move isn't the worst one I've heard so far. Bitch has a cool lick. Billy Preston on I Got the Blues was a treat, as it always is. The personnel is doing just fine, everything sounds good and tight enough and the writing is a little bland but the album is pretty groove and feel based so all good on that front. I wouldn't go tossing around genius, personally, but it's a 3.
Easy 5. It really leans into that southern rock and blues sound, and it does it without sounding like it’s trying too hard. The whole album just feels loose, nasty, and confident. Feels like they never lose their swagger. “Wild Horses,” “I Got the Blues,” and “Dead Flowers” were all excellent, and even “Brown Sugar,” reputation aside, is still a hell of an opener. I could tell right away on “I Got the Blues” that Billy Preston was on the organ. That sound jumped out immediately. This is one of those albums where the highlights are huge, but the whole thing holds up too. Also, I highly recommend listening to the Deluxe version that has the alternate take of Brown Sugar. Eric Clapton kills it on slide guitar. Favorite song: Dead Flowers
Love it. Listened to it while gardening. More like Green Fingers am I right?
Another classic Stones album. Love this one, but it doesn’t hit the same highs for me as Let it Bleed or Exile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not to shabby, it's alright, you gotta move meme song. beatles are better
Brown Sugar- 8/10 (idk why but the lyrics Make me feel super uncomfortable) Sway- 7/10 (3rd) Wild Horses- 8/10 (Fave) Can't You Hear Me Knocking- 8.5/10 (Fave) You Gotta Move- 8/10 (1st) B*tch- 9/10 (2nd) I Got the Blues- 9/10 (Fave) Sister Morphine- 9.5/10 Dead Flowers- 9/10 Moonlight Mile- 9/10 overall 8.5/10
This is my second Rolling Stones album and l am as bored as when I listened to the first one. It's not horrible, but not good imo. It doesn't have that wow factor that keeps me interested.
Amazinh album. Love the stones!
I don't like the Rolling Stones much, but I do like a bunch of these songs. Sway and Dead Flowers are as good as they ever got.
It’s good. But what’s really good is the top review this album has on here. A song by song 30 paragraph baby boomer psychosexual odyssey that gets more alien with every word. Honest to god you could publish that thing. You could make it a one man play
De lo mejorcito
me gusto de principio a fin, ademas empieza con alto temardo
Un aplauso para los Rolling que hicieron el primer álbum de rock homosexual 👏👏👏👏🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 un poco mas de quilombo loco, no puede ser tan aburrido un álbum de rock. 2/10.
First song icky. How is this the same album that banger Wild Horses is on… crazy.
I liked this more than the previous Stones albums I’d listened to, but I would be lying if I said it converted me to a fan, or to even understand the hype. I really don’t know these just don’t seem to land with me like they do with other people. It’s definitely not bad, but it’s just not moving the needle for me in any notable way.
***An ok album
Buenardo, bastante country para los rolling stones
Solid album, easy listening.
I have never listened carefully to a Rolling Stones album. I just knew the most popular songs and boy I gotta say this album was a very pleasant surprise. It was a journey through classic Rolling stone rock and Pink Floyd's progressive style. I loved this album, would recommend. Favorite song: Sway.
Wow, this is popular for a reason! Some amazing tunes here with some great instrumentation!
Très bon album de rock plein d’identité et qui reste dans l’esprit Rolling Stones qui arrive à toujours pondre des hits sans trahir les lignes directrices du groupe Entre tradition et modernité finalement
Loved it. Really good album
I never realized this until curving out a full album - maybe the Rolling Stones have good songs, but not great albums?
Some hits but isn’t music I would necessarily reach for.
Played it as background while I was fiddling w the other suggested sites from the channel where i found this site. as expected from someone who can’t multitask like myself, I didn’t hear a thing🙃 I’ll listen to it again w more intention
Good 7/5
A Rolling Stone's Western Album It feels so western to me. There are some moments that reminds me a lot of Paris, Texas soundtrack (You Gotta Move) to the point where I actually thought this song was in the movie. A lot of fun songs, but ultimately some moments of calm and serene moments of contemplation. 8/10
A strong rhythm and blues album. Great melodic.sounds. A classic.
Sticky Fingers sees The Rolling Stones incorporating Country Music into their sound this time around, which is not to suggest this is a country record, just a new color to the Stones palette. Of course this record is full of the classic brash blues rock they are famous for, “Brown Sugar”, “Can You Hear Me Knocking” are classics but there are gentler moments too, “Wild Horses”, “Sister Morphine” and maybe the biggest surprise “Moonlight Mile” a beautiful track with Asian inspired melodies. I hadn’t heard that track before this listen and was more than pleasantly surprised. This record is definitely worth a listen in full, lots of layers and surprises along the way. -TomB
Lo bueno empieza en las primeras 4 canciones. He leído que en "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" la canción se supone que debió terminar en el minuto 2:46, y que después de eso simplemente es una improvisación de lo banda lo cual me pareció increible. Después de eso creo que depende de cada uno qué tan energético y bluesero es este álbum.
It's fine I guess. Besides Brown Sugar though, I just wasn't that impressed. Just sounds like the Stones to me.
Country no tanto como yo en este momento
Stones at their stoniest. I love all the hits but “Dead Flowers” is the one that puts it over the top for me.
The original jeansröv på ett albumomslag, om än på baksidan. Huruvida "Brown sugar" handlar om heroin, är lokalt Södern-slang för en färgad prostituerad kvinna eller rent konkret handlar om negerfitta, vet bara Keith Richards som är den som ska ha snappat upp orden. Alla tre tolkningarna är absolut tänkbara. Vilken jävla skillnad det är på hur bandet låter/spelar här jämfört med Exile... bara nåt år senare. Här låter verkligen Stones pressat, instängda, närmast nervöst och tyglade i jämförelse. Första skiva på eget bolag, första skivan efter Brian Jones död, skandaler och rättegångar, en polis som ständigt förföljer dom, ett accelererande knarkande, ett England som blivit för trångt för dom både mentalt och bokstavligt. Orsakslistan kan göras tämligen lång till att så är fallet. På så sätt är SF ett utmärkt album som speglar vad som försegår i och omkring bandet. Men man kan också välja att se det så att det som hörs på SF inte alls är särskilt kul, inte minst med Exile... i färskt minne. Här finns absolut några riktiga kanonlåtar som det nästan alltid gör på Stones skivor. "Wild horses", "Dead flowers" och den om, till och för Marianne Faithfull skrivna "Sister morphine", som hon släppte som en singelbaksida redan 1969 tror jag (?), är alla glimmrande "Glimmer twins" alster. Men känslan av ett ganska plågat band genomsyrar så väl dessa som resten av skivan. Man har inte skitkul när man lyssnar på SF helt enkelt, det blir ett tveeggat svärd. "Vi fortsätter spela rock 'n' roll men vi håller på att dö“ skalde Dageby och bildligt är det den känslan man bär med sig när man lyssnar på SF. Det är ett bra Stonesalbum men inte nåt i hästväg, kanske är dess rykte faktiskt lite överskattat. Det är en trea på den övre halvan men aldrig egentligen nära en fyra.
Stones nästa bästa skiva. De har alltid starka öppningslåtar. Brown sugar tillhör absoluta toppskiktet i stenkatalogen. Dead flowers, Wild horses, Bitch, I got the blues måste också nämnas. En bra samling låtar. Väldigt höga toppar. Inte samma helhetsupplevelse som Exile.
Som en uppvärmning inför Exil. Här finns soul- och bluesförpackad rock av fint märke. För visst svänger det även om den där självklarheten vi finner på uppföljaren inte riktigt finns där. Det är lite mer ansträngt. Wild Horses, Sweet Virginias inte riktigt lika snygga storasyster, Can’t you here me knocking, ett blues groove a la CCRs keep on chooglin, I got the blues soulballad i staxtappning. Det finns gott om guldkorn.
Brown suger är en höjdarlåt. Även Can you hear me knocking är riktigt bra. Min invändning mot Stones är att Jagger lägger för mycket fokus på att leva rockmyten istället för att låtarna får stå i centrum. Jagger har en rätt begränsad röst men envisas ändå med ta för mycket plats. Det är stabil rock n roll. Stark trea.
Nice
Chiller than I was expecting, but also I think they found their vibe in their popular stuff
Very bluesy. Some fantastic songs and a few clunkers. 3.5/5
Good album. "Wild Horses" is such a great song. I enjoy Susan Boyle's audition version on AGT.
Consideraría que es un álbum muy bueno para introducirte a Rolling Stone pero son algunos conceptos a nivel de cohesión musical que no me parecen tan buenos para seguir con la cohesión de cada canción, es algo escuchable sí pero no del todo
8/10
Never really heard any Stones album - I like it. Sounds like everything complements other parts really well, from vocals to guitars to drums. I just don't feel like there's much to say about it - good formula done well.
No fue de mi agrado
Classic rock’n’roll
wild horses deserves all the stars there are to give and moonlight mile sounds like from a twilight soundtrack
I love, love, love this album! I was thirteen when this was released, and it’s probably a good thing that I couldn’t understand most of the lyrics to Brown Sugar. As awful and cringey as they are, I still love this song…I guess I just look the other way. To me, all of these songs are really good, and the album could have been a third disc included with Exile on Main Street. This is an easy five stars from me.
One of the best
not so meins
Didn't not like this, but didn't really like it either. I feel like you need to really be a Stones fan to appreciate them
C'est rare qu'en écoutant les albums de cette liste, je tombe sur un album culte et que je me demande pourquoi. Pourquoi c'est si populaire ? Bon ben c'est le cas avec Sticky Fingers. je comprend pas pourquoi les gens trouvent ça si génial. C'est un bon album, si on aime le rock un peu bluesy, mais pour un album sorti en 1971, ça me semble vraiment pas foufou. Pour moi, c'est du 3/5.
The Stones arguably at their best and most boisterous. Some of their best ballads and some of their best rockers. Bitch, Wild Horses, Knocking, Dead Flowers, and controversially, Brown Sugar. Regarding Brown Sugar, I want to give my two cents. I know a lot of people have written off this song and their minds can not be changed. If that is you, I don't wish to change your mind or belittle your feelings. The opinion that this song is offensive/fetish is valid and fair, and ultimately your gut feeling when listening to the lyrics is probably the most correct feeling for you. I just see it a bit differently. Its a long-held tradition in rock/metal/punk to write the lyrics to your song from the perspective of horrible, despicable people. For an example of this, just look at any number of anti-fascist punk songs that feature a fascist narrator to illustrate how disgusting the ideology is. Mick Jagger was no stranger to this, especially as his life stabilized throughout the 70's. I don't know if he ever stated it explicitly, but this song has always seemed to me as an example of that. Its always read to me as Mick calling out the hypocrisy of the racist white oppressors who also fetishize black women. The lyrics are despicable BECAUSE he is portraying a despicable person. This is Mick Jagger's Colonel Lockjaw. If you disagree, or the song still makes you sick to your stomach, that's fine. That's just how I see things.

Klausiau
I did not like this ablum and i discovered that i am a rolling stones hater. Bc why do they feel so comfortable talking ab balck ppl like that ???? And idc ab the release date (i'm super happy that i've discovered this bc now i know i dislike them). I wish i could rate it a 0/5.
Welp, another Rolling Stones album. I mean they are okay but only put out an album or two that I actually like. This is not one of them. Catchy stuff but not for me. I feel like Wild Horses is probably the best song on this album, the rest are pretty okay. Also Brown Sugar is a gross song.
Solid
- I like it so far, I’m on track 3. Nice western vibes even if it’s not that. :) Wild Horses is my favorite so far. - The instrumental half of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking was awesome - I Got The Blues is nice I liked that one - Based ass guitar playing on Sister Morphine - Unfortunate that the vocals on Dead Flower are kinda bad because the guitar is great. - Final song is pretty good
Yeah it's a pretty good rock album, actually a lot more experimental than I was expecting. The most impressive part is that there isn't a song I don't like, it kind of reminds me of the stuff my grandpa listened to. 4.5 / 5
It's a 4.5/5 but giving it a 5/5 because it surprised me so much.
I’ve probably only listened a handful of times so I’m still getting to know this album, it has some great hits on here and *Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?* is a particular highlight, and this album leans firmly into blues which is always good in my book. Maybe this could be a 5 star over time but I enjoyed the first half more than the second on this listen.
It's good
Are the Rolling Stones the most over rated band in history?
Not a giant Rolling Stones fan but wild horses is my favourite song. I enjoyed the twang that was included throughout the record.
Liked this a lot. I was familiar with the hits but not the album songs. Will definitely be revisiting
This was a pleasant surprise; I’ve never been a big Rolling Stones fan and was expecting this to be pretty straightforward blues rock, but it was more diverse and interesting than I thought it’d be.
Not really a fan. There are a few stand-out songs on here like Brown Sugar & Wild Horses, but other than that, it feels kind of samey and overall uninteresting to me. Not something I hate, but probably wouldn't listen to it again.
Honestly? A 5. Great variety. Amazing production. Pretty moving lyrics. I am not crazy about stones but I can't find anything meaningful wrong with this album outside of mild criticisms
It took some doing but yes this is the Rolling Stones album I could listen to more than once. Well done.
I want "Moonlight Mile" played at my celebration of life.
Masterpiece
Good, but not something I need to listen to agan
Good bluesy album. Mick is a great blues singer.
Some good blusey stuff. Timeless quality.
For some reason I didn’t think this would be good but I liked a lot of the songs on here, especially the last one
I listened to Lenny Kravitz just before this and wow, it truly is remarkable the difference when they're going for something similar.
brown sugar should slap can't get over the lyrics didn't realize the stones were so damn solid sway kinda slams wild horses is a great ballad can't hear me knocking too long bitch rocks B-side is nice and mellow could grow very attached to it with more listens
Fine. Very Americana laid back (miller told me they’re British). Could grow on me. Dead flowers good and good songwriting I think only listened once.
Klassiekerrr, goed van te genieten
I’m starting to feel like once you listened to one Stones album, you’ve listened to them all. Good thing for them they’re all consistently good. “Wild Horses” is obviously really well known, but the final track “Moonlight Mile” really stood out to me. Still, I’ve yet to find an album of theirs that transcends really good to great. 4/5
Wonderful Rock songs, with great solos and vocals and lyrics
Love the blues rock, love the filthy sax playing, a couple of the songs in the middle of the record are a bit lack lustre, but overall great listen.
Pretty good, above average Rolling Stones. Falls short of a 5 IMO.
Amazing
2 of my favourite songs ever are on this album. Except not the Stones versions. 2 of the best covers that ever were. But I guess they wouldn't exist without the originals so credit where it's due. This was really good and enjoyable and I'd totally throw this on any time. Stones are some of the best to do it.
rolling stones halt, natürlich ist es nicht schlecht, wild horses ist peak und der rest gut aber nicht perfekt für mich
ja
Better than the previous stones albums I had.
Never was a huge fan of the Rolling Stones even though they dominated the air waves when I was young. So I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this album!
Fabolous
Love the Stones, and this one of their best.
ARI, ARI, ARI, ARI! Arrivederci!!!
A classic for a reason
Brilliant album - some bangers, some classics and some filler.
One of their best.
Love this album!!!
Listened while driving to a camp clinic. Loved it. It's jazzy, it's bluesy, it's rock and roll. That opening track is legitimately gross though. Never listened to a Rolling Stones record all the way through before this one and was pleasantly surprised.
Well, I'm not a huge fan of the The Rolling Stones, this was enjoyable. ★★★★
My favorite Stones record.
All vibe - limited skill. Oddly, the drumming is maybe the best part which I never thought whereas the guitar work is infamous and it's sorta meh.
Pretty decent enjoyed. Only really knew Brown Sugar and Wild Horses and whilst they were the standouts it was generally strong
I challenge you to name me an album which has sister morphine, dead flowers, bitch and brown sugar on it that is not called Sticky Fingers.
Not a huge rolling stone fan but I appreciate their sound and influence.
A lot more focused than Exiles, but still not consistently gripping. It's more tight and riff based, and the first half carries the whole project. Best song: Can't You Hear Me Knocking Worst song: I Got The Blues Cover check: Very tight jeans
There's an undeniable beauty in this album: The guitar pushing, the drums slowing it down. So much I'm constantly afraid the songs would fall apart. The stones not caring for studio perfection. The jam session in "can't you hear me knocking". Them getting tired of drugs. The album cover and the fights who's crotch it is. But still - would I listen to this again? Dunno. I can’t stand The Stones enough to keep this in heavy rotation.
I am in the camp of people that believe The Rolling Stones are unbelievably overrated. Here is the catch that separates them from other overrated bands... when they write a good song its AMAZING. This album is a clear cut example of that, 2 flat out great songs, 2 decent songs and the rest sounds like the majority of their catalog, messy and not messy in a good way. I would say half of this record is 4 stars and rest is 2. 3 stars it is. Special shout out to the dick print.
Bon album, je découvre. Les partie jazz soul sont vraiment bien, le côté country un peu flemme
Love it so far
Not a fav Stones record.
Good album all-around, with exceptional guitar work by Keith Richards and great drumming by Charlie Watts. I like the Rolling Stones, but this was not my favorite overall showing of their prowess, as I felt the songs were a little bit repetitive (especially Mick Jagger), but it was an enjoyable listen. I would give this album a 4.5/5, but, since I would only give two of the songs a 5/5 (Brown Sugar and Wild Horses), I'll give this a 4/5.
I owe myself and the Rolling Stones an apology for not listening to them properly before now
This had some really solid tracks on it, I feel like The Stones are about as good as 60s rock gets. I know Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were starting up around this time, but I think that it took them until the 70s to really find the footing, whereas these guys have been solid from the jump. Also just looked it up and this came out in 71, which kinda dampens this section of the review, but just pretend that's not true. Favorites: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Sister Morphine
Pure Stones class
Not at their best but good nonetheless
Yeah, very good
Impressive to be able to even play an instrument whilst ripped to the proverbials on that much gear, let alone produce such a solid rock album. Very tempted to give it full marks for Wild Horses, Brown Sugar and Can't you Hear me Knocking (what a standout turn from Mick Taylor) but maybe the drugs don't fully work on some other songs. A very fullsome 4*
I’m not a Stones fan but they do have a few songs I really like, none of which are on this album unfortunately. Better luck next time as I’m sure we’ll be seeing them again.
The Stones are one of those bands that just flat out rock. The sound is always on point whether it’s with guitars, drums, horns, or tympani. I also believe the Stones are the South Park folks of the music industry that can get away with saying anything. Don’t believe me?? Read the lyrics to Brown Sugar and then remember it was written in the 70’s. Overall great listen and it reinforces my opinion that the Rolling Stones are a fantastic group that has withstood the test of time.
A few years back, I had a diversity training at work which started by playing us ‘Brown Sugar’, and we all rocked out. Then they put the lyrics on the projector. Ooops… Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in a market down in New Orleans Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright Hear him whip the women just around midnight Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Uh huh Brown sugar, just like a young girl should uh huh Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop House boy knows that he's doing alright You shoulda heard ‘em just around midnight Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, now? Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, now (yeah) Ah, get on, brown sugar, how come you taste so good, baby? Ah, got me craving’ the, the brown sugar just like a black girl should, yeah I bet your mama was a tent show queen And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen I'm no schoolboy, but I know what I like You shoulda heard me just around midnight Brown sugar, how come you taste so good, baby? Ah, come down, brown sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo How come you... how come you taste so good? Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo Just like a, just like a black girl should Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo Not exactly Dylan… The rest is fine as classic rock goes. I wish they would stick to rock and leave the blues to those better suited to handle that genre, though. It’s not their strong suit at all. The Stones were always a bit too schticky and image conscious for my tastes, but it is what it is, and they certainly rock in places. I just can’t drink the ‘greatest rock and roll band in the world’ kool aid if this is their best offering.
I don't think I've ever given the Stones a fair listen. Of course I know their hits, and I like them fine enough, but not a preference. My expectation of this album was "meh". Yet here I sit, a new fan. Enjoyed this far more than expected. Great groove, solid back beat rhythms, and nice bit of blues in the mix. Nicely composed album on the whole. Mick Jagger is the biggest surprise. I think of him as a caricature, but he was absolutely legit in his prime. I'm actually looking forward to more Stones.
C’mon, peak Stones. ‘Nuff said. And I’m not even that big a fan really.
Moonlight Mile <3
It's a classic, what else can you say about the Stones? One of the greatest bands in the world, and this album is a very good example of that.
Classic Stones, bit of a golden period for them
thought I wouldn’t like this. I was wrong I hated it
I'd say peak Stones sleaze and swagger, really enjoyed it
I know very little about the stones other than by osmosis but Okay they can be pretty good
I think i preferred it when they were doing Honky Tonk than whatever this is. A middling of the road “classic”. Boring. 2/5
good old classic rock
Du rock. Désolée c'est les Stones mais je vois pas la diff entre les stones ou de nombreux autres groupes de rock qui font la même chose, peut-être une voix un peu plus reconnaissables et quelques instrus plus fun mais je trouve pas qu'ils sortent particulièrement du lot dans leur domaine.
Album bien cool
C'était pas mal mais le rock n roll reste pas trop mon truc
Totally rockin' record. The Stones come back with a second killer album after Let It Bleed and it has so much good music. Got to see the band live a year later and it was so incredible. They were in fact "The Worlds Greatest Rock N' Roll band".
This was ok. Some of the songs were 3s, a few were 2s but I'm feeling generous so I've rounded up for the whole album
hello jojo’s reference
70s blues rock by rich white men continues to be the thing I reliably dislike most on this list. Musically, I actually enjoyed this, though. It's much more about the groove than about macho posturing guitar solos etc. Lyrically, however, it contains some of the most eye-watering misogyny and racism I've heard in this project so far, which is really saying something. 'Brown Sugar'is absolutely not something anyone should have to hear EVER, let alone something everyone needs to hear before they die.
Can’t You Hear Me Knocking remains one of the coolest songs ever written. The rest of the album was pretty good.
•standouts: brown sugar, i got the blues •honorable mentions: sway, bitch •favorite: i got the blues
3.5
probably more like a 3.5, i wasn't massive on beggars banquet when we rolled it, but i quite liked this one - has a bit more going on.
This is their peak to me, all the styles they do well are at their apex here. 'Sway,' 'Can You Hear Me Knocking,' 'Dead Flowers,' and 'Moonlight Mile' are all among the greatest songs ever made by human beings in my estimation.
Eh kinda old, but easy to understand why it was so popular
It was good liked the vibe
Very good album but tbh you could shave like 30 seconds to a minute off every song
Oh, this album art. Not really anything that stood out to me.
I was expecting better, honestly
Eh
Ok not too bad. This came up after I already heard Exile so now I can see where they were kind of coming from. Some strong songs on here but also some weak ones. A nice variety of tunes here though. Kept things interesting but maybe a few too many mellow songs as they mostly just went in one ear and out the other. Only repeated listens will help me distinguish the weaker tracks but at this point I don’t know if I have the time in my life to do so. There’s still so many albums by them I need to get through. Not to mention all the other albums by other artists. I guess to me this does sound a bit dated and doesn’t seem to give me the urge to come back to it. But there are some good songs on here so who knows?
My rating 4.2. Great must if blues, rock, and country. Loved the horns and Hammond organ.
Classic Stones album, but I find their albums have excellent songs/singles supported by lots of filler. Liked Songs Added: Brown Sugar Wild Horses Bitch Dead Flowers
2 if it weren't for Sister Morphine
Mi ha fatto abbastanza schifo. Tutte le canzone mi sembrano super banali e già sentite (probabilmente perchè l'album ha influenzato la musica rock).
Was really looking forward to this. Obviously I know the Rolling Stones but think I have never really sat down and listened to a full album of theirs. It was fine, good blues inspired late 60s/early 70s rock, but have to admit I'm a bit bewildered by the awe with which they are held based on this album anyway. 3 out of 5 stars.
I'm just not the biggest Rolling Stones fan, but this was alright.
Maybe I said this when “Exile on Main Street” popped for me, but the “Beatles or Elvis” question always bugged me cause they both sorta suck and Rolling Stones is a better option than those two. I’m a Stones guy, and I say that without being a truly massive Stones fan. This record isn’t quite as good as Exile, but it’s not far off. But it’s still a good example of why that question presents a false dichotomy. Good music is good, and I’m not hating on the Beatles or Elvis (I don’t love either though), but there were always better options. The Rolling Stones were contemporaries, and were at least one of those better options. Sticky Fingers is a good example of why. 8.0/10
It's easy to take the Rolling Stones for granted. Don't! There is so much good stuff on this album. Of course the dirty, dirty guitars. But also the horns and organs and pianos.
It's alright. It's the kinda music your dad listens to from the garage while drinking a beer in the driveway with your weird uncle. It's just kinda on, and everyone sings the wild horses part way too loud. At worst it's just alright, and at best it's also just alright. I guess they have a magazine for a reason though. The guitar is pretty good.
Generic sounding rolling stones album
Im so meh on this album, I wouldn't turn this off if someone wanted to play it, but I would never willing choose to listen to this. I can understand it's importance I'm just so utterly uninterested in it. I like some of the blues influences I guess.
First time listen Pretty uninteresting dad rock for me. I can see that it's well produced but it doesn't do much for me. Fav track: Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile Least fav: Brown Sugar, I Got The Blues
groovy
The band really stretch their wings trying a variety of styles and genres with quite a bit of success- jugband blues on "You Gotta Move," jazz fusion on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," country pop on "Dead Flowers," and singer-songwriter on "Moonlight Mile." Only problem is the horrid "Brown Sugar" to open- the most racist classic rock song ever written?
Solid record. Wild Horses really makes it for me.
I didn't realize some of the songs had a country rock sound
Ещё один переоценённый альбом в списке. Тоскливая жвачка от Роллингов
A few good songs, a couple that didn't age well. While I enjoyed several of the songs, it also wasn't an album that I really liked all of the songs. So while there were some good bits there were enough meh bits that I definitely wouldn't want to own this nor have it on a regular play
Come on... one of the greatest! Though on this listen, I noticed I was a little bored by a couple of the tunes. I think Let It Bleed might be taking the lead for me for best Stones album.
Great classic album. My favorite song from this album is "wild horses".
It’s a fine album. But I just don’t understand how this is considered one of the greatest albums of all time and I don’t understand how people say Stones made better music than the Beatles. The middle of this album is the best for me and I obviously love the hits, Wild Horses and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking to be specific. Although I feel Can’t You Hear Me Knocking would be even better if it wasn’t as long of a track. And man oh man, I’m not even going to talk about Brown Sugar in depth even though I should. Just gonna say get that song outta here!! I don’t care how many ways they try to spin that song into not being lyrically cringe or inappropriate…it is.
Not my favorite Stones album, but close. Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Bitch are classics, but the rest all bring something to the table as well. A very polished album.
dang dude 4/5
One of their best and most iconic albums.
I will say, off the rip, I love the guitar on this album. When it comes to the other content of the tracks, I just felt it was okay. It's a perfectly fine listen. Brown Sugar is great, Wild Horses is a classic (not my taste, really, but I'll still sing along a little), and I fell in love with the bass on Sister Morphine. Everything else sits in a "pretty good, may listen to it again or may not" category. I would comfortably put this at a 3.5, but I have to round down on this one since I did have to break my listen in half. A couple tracks really bored me.
Great album. Excellent guitar tone. Surprised by the instrumental middle.
The tits for real.
Un disco nocturno y visceral donde los Stones suenan más crudos y más elegantes que nunca: blues vivido, deseo sin pudor y una melancolía que atraviesa cada riff.
My favorite Stones record. Incredible start with 4 all-time classic tracks. The B-side doesn't quite live up to the same standard, while still being solid. 8/10
It feels weird to rate such an iconic album at less than a 5, especially when this was one of my dad's favourite albums. Some of the songs are brilliant, unbeatable, and then the sleazy blues arrive to beat you over the head and you realise that this isnt truly a great album, just a very good one.
Has a couple standouts. Dig Dead flowers and their country nods. I'm medium
Cant you here me knocking wen tema. You gotta move es medio conocidillo, así q me sonaba de antes, pero así como uff temazo no tanto la vdd Moonlight mile me dio algo de penita la vdd no se xq El álbum no es muy mi estilo, pero no dudo de su relevancia cultural probs
This is a tricky (or sticky, wink wink nudge nudge) album to rate. You've got your hits, and you've got your Blues songs that the British invasion bands loved. The Stones never really hit me in a way that I super enjoyed. I like some of their songs, and some of the songs on this album, but something about it just kind of ran it's course. Like that B-Side is a true B-Side of an album.
Easily my favourite Stones album
This was my first full listen and I quite enjoyed the vibe of the album especially with that awesome saxophone. Definitely would listen to again and want to own a vinyl record of it in the future. Favorite Track: Can't You Hear Me Knocking Least Favorite Track: You Gotta Move ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There's a couple good songs in there and the rest is filler, 2/5.
One of the four “ sweet spot “ albums of The Rolling Stones. Not the best but a solid 4 stars
Brown Sugar - 4/5 Sway - 4/5 Wild Horses - 4.5/5 Can't You Hear Me Knocking - 4/5 You Gotta Move - 3.5/5 Bitch - 5/5 I Got The Blues - 4.5/5 Sister Morphine - 4/5 Dead Flowers - 4.5/5 Moonlight Mile - 4/5
iconic for a reason highlights: Wild Horses, I Got the Blues, Dead Flowers
5. Hätte ich nie gedacht aber dieses Album ist genial
An ok album. Don't get the hype personally 🤷🏻♀️ 3 ⭐️
Despite Sticky Fingers not having either of the two great Stones songs (Paint it Black and Gimmie Shelter) on it, I was enjoying it more than the previous two stones albums I listened to. That is, until Sister Morphine, with it's shitty, faux Americanism, that is typical of so many Rolling Stones songs. From there the album went downhill fast. This just about scrapes a three from me.
i didn't listen to all of this bc i fell asleep but i like it
I will reiterate my assertion that the Stones are at their best when they're not playing blues songs. Unfortunately, that's about half of the tracks on their albums of this period. I was going to give this one three stars, but oh man the last three tracks (Sister Morphine / Dead Flowers / Moonlight Mile) are absolutely fucking brilliant. I'm going to have to learn these on the ole guitar.
Good album. My expectations were high the album just missed them. Listening to wild horses before the album made me expect all of the songs to be at that caliber but they weren’t. Still good listen. 3.5/5
Is “Brown Sugar” meant to be a socially conscious reflection on the slave trade and racial injustice? Because it sounds like Mick Jagger inhabits that creepy character a little too well. The answer may be on the next track, “Sway,” in which he says that “the demon life has got me its sway.” “Wild Horses” is next. If you can make it through that song, you’re a true fan. Then comes “Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” which is the finest song on the album. It sounds like the Stones are channeling either Traffic or latter-day Doors here, as the song transitions to its long instrumental section. “You Gotta Move” fills space before “Bitch,” which may just be as misogynistic as “Brown Sugar.” Well, enough about this album. Time for the essential post-Stones deep clean, followed by a musical palette cleanse. Still, I'll give 3/5 for several great riffs and for "Knockin."
What can I say? It's the Rolling Stones... which means you'll get a few solid tracks, but before you know it, you feel like you've been dragged through the gutter a bit. For all its famous tracks, I think "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is hands down their best on the album.
maybe this isn't my genre. felt slow, save for brown sugar- i liked that one. the rest of the songs didn't stand out to me. maybe they might for another person but not me.
One of those Stones albums I thought I'd heard before, but a lot was unfamiliar. Some good hits, some less interesting stuff too. Didn't leave a massively lasting impression, but still pretty strong.
Classic Stones & 2 of my favorites on this record in Wild Horses & Dead Flowers 4.5/5
will give another listen but rating a 2 for now
Has a good sound, but it had a few I was not really feeling. Songs like Wild Horses and Sister Morphine I thought were really good but the album was not as strong as these two
a lot of songs viral on tiktok, never knew where they came from until now
Im not mad at their version of you gotta move. The last 4 songs are the best ones on the album
“Dead flowers” is my fav
5 - Okay well this one is unfair because it's one of my favorite albums ever. One of the greatest rock bands of all time at their peak, cosplaying Americana, witty and balanced, with almost no low moments in the album. Fav songs: Wild Horses (prob a top 5 song in my life) , Dead Flowers + every other but those are top 2
Honestly not nearly as in love with this album as I thought I would be. Definitely some great blues rock ballads on here, but also some definite misses that are gonna keep me from spinning this that often. Favorite Tracks: "Wild Horses", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Sister Morphine" Least Favorite Track: "I Got the Blues" High 3.
Eh
Disco espetacular dos Stones
8/10 My mother has been a Rolling Stones fan since the 70s, so I would forever shame her if I didn't like this album. Luckily I do. It's among the strongest of the 70s rock albums I've heard; every song is distinct, with rising action and appropriate climaxes; and nowhere do they fall prey to hubris by focusing too much on guitar solos or the music over vocals or what-have-you. It even flows nicely, working well as an album. My only complaint is that I don't think there's really a stand-out track - everything is on the same (strong) level, but there isn't anything I particularly want to relisten to. I'm curious about whether other albums by this band are any better (by my standards). Luckily this list likely has 57 albums by the band, so I'm sure I'll find out in a few hundred albums...
I don’t get it, some really great stuff and some incredibly generic stuff.
Horns! Fav track: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking
Saved? ✅ Would listen again? 🤔 Would recommend to anyone? ✅ Would buy on Vinyl?✅
The Rolling stones are a bunch of pedophiles
Wild Horses
Brown Sugar is an insane opening song, lyrically only. None of these songs are insane musically. I could not tell where one song started and another ended. It was less boring than previous albums, so 2 ⭐️ I guess.
Everything I want from The Stones! A pinnacle of 1970s rock, blending blues, country, and gritty rock 'n' roll.
First time listening to a Stones album and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s just middle of the road for me. Finding out this record is considered to essentially be their best just leaves an even more stale taste in my mouth since there’s a fat chance I’ll seriously enjoy any of their albums then.
5 for the riffs in Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Bitch. Still not sure what to make of Brown Sugar.
well YES
Not a fan of Jagger's vocal stylings, and the white boy blues doesn't do it for me, but there are 3 or 4 classics on this which elevates it above mediocrity. Sister Morphine and You Gotta Move are highlights
- rollarit keikkuu ihan siinä rajoilla että miten ajan hammas on heidän tuotantoaan kohdellut - tälläkin levyllä on monia hyvin kyseenalaisia tekstejä, mutta sitten taas toiset biisit ovat kyllä todellisia klassikoita, hienoja melodioita - onkohan tämä albumitaide inspiroinut erästäkin brucea?
lwk dont knw what to say here its ass at first but aint tht bad the more u think abt it but i js wouldnt listen to this, fairs to the ppl tht like it
Always a banger. One of the best Stones albums
9/10
Topčina
Rolling Stones are always 5/5
Great album second half was a bit weaker than the first but still had some good tracks
Man, this has grown on me so much over time. Just a great collection of absolutely stellar rock songs, so much fun.
Rock de pai divorciado
This project has taught me that I genuinely hate the Rolling Stones. You Gotta Move is actually offensive.
386/1089 - This is the third album I got from them, seriously in what way are they on the same level as the Beatles as rivals? From what I've heard, they have like two good songs (Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil) and the rest is filler. At least they made Satisfaction so Devo could make their version which is around 3000x cooler. This went in one ear and out the other (except for Can't You Hear Me Knocking).
3/5
Very fun and bluesy record. It's not as out there as other albums, but it is very enjoyable, the songs flow very nicely and it has a couple of softer songs that blend well with the flow of the record. It's by the end of the 70s so the sound shifts a little. Very recommended!
Nope.. still don't care for The Rolling Stones. The answer to the eternal question of "Beatles or Stones?" will always be "Led Zeppelin" for me.
this is a great album
4.5/5
i actually very much enjoyed this album. some great tunes and awesome guitar riffs, wild horses is the standout - however there's a cover of that song i like more than the OG version. still a great song. just an overall good time and a solid album. 7/10
Love it
one of my favs, love mick&keith work on this one
Classic
Definitely some great songs on here and I know many people think this great, but to me some of the stuff is filler. Or maybe better to say I can take it or leave it.
A very strong album, rock and roll!!
Great album. Plenty of classics: Dead Flowers, Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't you hear me knocking, Bitch, Sway... a couple of not so great tracks, but still a top album.
Not the biggest Stones fan, but always appreciated that they bought a little grime to their lyrics vs. the relatively safe lyrics of the Beatles. And this is a great album. “Wild Horses” is one of my favorite songs of all time (The Sundays version is arguably better, but I like Mick’s heartfelt vocal performance here). Good mix of harder rock songs and solid ballads, a couple of which have a country feel.
Continued proof to me that The Rolling Stones have never made an album that's enjoyable from start to finish. There are a couple of good moments here, sure, but they're just that: moments that exist between some of the most hollow fake swagger I':be ever heard put to tape. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" has a killer riff, but everything else on here is skippable.
Classic Rolling Stones. Great to understand where Wild Horses comes from
FAVS (top 3): brown sugar, wild horses, i got the blues mençoes honrosas: cant you hear me knocking, bitch, sister morphine ah gente grandes coisas mo nada a ve poderia morrer sem ter ouvido esse sinceramente nota final: 2/5
p231. 1971. 3.5 stars. Possibly the only Stones record you need. Some great songs here, and Mick Taylor is a fine guitarist. Points deducted for Jagger's faux American blues accent, it gets fucking annoying after a while, especially when you know he's from Dartford.
fav songs: sway wild horses can't you hear me knocking i got the blues dead flowers effortless, swaggy, jagger 80/100
Full on blues album. Which is a strange for a band formed in London. All of the elements are there twanging guitar, saxophone, slow drums and Mick Jagger's wailing vocals. Two huge hits on this album Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. Both of which I feel haven't been played to death and I was happy to hear again. As with all blues songs, the world is cruel and times are tough. But I cant help but think that life might be a bit better for Mick if he just cut down on the Coke and Smack. As that seems to be the subject of most of his troubles. Going by majority of the songs on his album. (2.750)
this was such a fun album, really enjoyed listening to it!!
Moody Bluesy rocky - almost a Great name for a band that… Debauched, Risky, innovative… they wish . But still an actual good album , before they forgot how to make an entire album. More Eaton than East end; no mater how much they swagger … a solid album but nothing more from the posh boys of rock.
Prefer this version of the Stones compared to the other albums I've heard so far
Great album.
Изящно и весело о страшном. Кантри икона своего времени, которая до сих пор цепляет своим исполнением
Feels like a heartbreaking record. Leaned into use of horns much more than earlier stuff. Creates their own genre of blues. Highlights: Sway, Wild Horses, Cant You Hear Me Knocking, Moonlight Mile
Brilliant album. I don't listen to it as much as I used to, but it is timeless. Iconic cover too!
Still not the biggest Rolling Stones guy, but this is definitely their best album. Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch and Sister Morphine are all really solid. Still never really enjoyed Brown Sugar (the song).
every song was nice to listen to. Really liked the signature rock sound
Mediocre band playing mediocre songs. I just can't get into the stones.
Høres fortsatt ut som Rolling Stones ja. Og mitt favorittalbum av dem 🙃. Er litt mer spenstige låtlengder og eksperimentering enn tidligere som er nice.
Kan definitivt høyre på dette igjen.
Kult rocka sound men for meg nå utfordrer det meg ikke altfor mye og det fester seg ikke helt. Lyttet dog mens jeg jobbet som kan ha noe å si.
Very good album, first side is better than second and still get annoyed by the sound of Jagger but solid 4
Wow - I'd never really heard a full Stones record from this time and I was immediately blown away by the music on the first three tracks (although not sure how I feel about lyrics on Brown Sugar) - the record doesn't stay at the same high but it is pretty exceptional, going with 4 *s
Excellent album. So many hits! Absolutely essential listening. Hard to pick a favorite, but "Sister Morphine" and "Dead Flowers" are so good.
I listened to this three times over the weekend, so it must be decent. The standout tracks are superb: I already knew Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, but Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers are awesome too. But there is some real filler. You Gotta Move, Bitch... blah. I decided I would let the closing track decide my final rating for the album, and Moonlight Mile is great.
This is my second stones album in this project. The first one was earlier, and I found it more raw and experimental. This one felt more cohesive from a musical and performance perspective, but also more musically boring. It was, largely speaking, variations on familiar rock and blues cliche's. I will admit that I like the performances: the vocals are great, the guitar is great (though I don't love the way the solo's are mixed: very panned and echo-y), but most songs were very long, hammering the same familiar musical idea without evolving, and therefore, kind of boring.
Enjoyed the classics, did switch into other artists (wasn't sure if that was on purpose w/ youtube)
obsessed
Hard to know how to rate this album... The Stones are showing off real talent and skill here, and some of the songs are pretty solid. The guitars are working some great interplay, the drums are steady as anything and Mick Jagger is performing like a true rock 'n roll frontman... but even after a second listen the album as a whole is pretty forgettable. There's a couple of songs that are memorable enough - "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is distinctive, and for some completely inexplicable, potentially unhinged reason "Brown Sugar" sounds like ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know" to me. Yes, I know. Bizarre. The rest of the album I couldn't hum a second of. For an album that's good on paper but did very little for me, and whose inclusion on this list is probably reasonable but only probably, I give the most neutral of ratings: the not-so-coveted-but-entirely-acceptable 3/5.
It's not my favourite Stones record, but I think its the record that most defines the band.
There's enough great stuff here to rate 4 stars (and enough blues rock to tempt me to rate it lower). Wild Horses is the highlight.
Fantastic perfect
Anybody feel like watching a Scorsese movie with me? FIVE STARS
ja top eh
Divorced dad core. Goed ma ni meer dan da, also wtf is de tekst van Brown Sugar?? insane
Absolute classic bluesy rock'n'roll. Stones at their best.
Quality album through and through. Brown Sugar to Moonlight Mile via Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch and Sister Morphone.
I do love this album, particularly wild horses, it's just a wonderful song and one of my favourites. The blues influences of RS are so clear, I love the snarly vocals of Mick and the sax, especially on Cant you Hear. It strikes a good balance between punchy songs and slow ballads like Wild Horses. Although I love Dead Flowers MJ goes a bit over with the honky tonk vocals IMO. And of course, Brown Sugar sounds amazing but the lyrics are repulsive :/
“Wild Horses” alone is almost enough for me to rate this 5/5. For me, opening up with brown sugar is good to get the most cringe song out of the way early. This album is incredible (except BS) so many great and underrated classics, the Mick Taylor era of Stones is my favourite and has the best run of albums. The genre and instrument blending on this is great and sounds so cohesive, but the core of the album is very American roots with gritty blues and country-rock, you can hear the pedal steel influence on tracks like dead flowers and Taylor’s impressive slide in “you gotta move”. I think that without the inclusion of Brown sugar this album would be perfect.
Absolute classic, many needle drops from film and tv, love the beggining and end
This is my third Stones album of the project. It also has the highest global rating of all six Stones albums. It's dirty and sleazy in a way that the Stones' older albums weren't, abandoning the 60s style of beat-driven blues for 70s barroom sleaze. The songwriting is good, with excellent riffs despite some lyrics being questionable if not downright gross("Brown Sugar"). The ballads are usually better than the rockers lyrically, but the rockers are more enjoyable to listen to for me. All told, a great album weighed down by some poorly aged tracks.
I thought I was going to enjoy this album much more than I did. The only thing that truly stuck out to me was the cover art (which also sent me down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia). I couldn't name a song by TRS before this, and honestly, after a couple weeks I'm probably also gonna forget these songs. It's well performed, great instrumentals and really great vocals. The quality of the music is good. Something is just missing for me. It started to run together and bore me after a while and I really wasn't expecting that. I enjoyed how the album closed on a slower note. Is this an album I'm going to revisit? I really don't think so. It is bad? No. It's just not for me.
Not my favorite Stones album, but still a very good one.
Better than the early stuff we listened to a while back, but still can't say I'm a big Stones fan.
This album has one or two gems. But I am not one to just throw on a Rolling Stones record. Give me a greatest hits for them, and I will probably give it 5 stars. They were hit makers for sure, but as for albums ... well ...
