Sticky Fingers

Hate Brown Sugar but love Moonlight Mile so.

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.

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

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

Rolling stones for a reason

If it ain't broke...

Superb album from British rock royalty

Ok

This was a great album. So many good songs and to think it came out in ‘71.

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

A lot of diversity in style in this Rolling Stones album. Quite enjoyable. Dead Roses is a favourite.

Nice

I mean it's Sticky Fingers

Enjoyed this album all the way through. It's such a classic. WAAIIIIIIIIIILDDDD HOARRRRRRSSESSSSS

Great album, a classic. Not their best in my opinion but lots of great songs.

Very fun album. Very interesting to hear such a heavy American influence (blues, country, etc.) from the British rock legends.

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

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

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

Hard to imagine a world without some of these songs.

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.

Dope af, thoroughly enjoyed it. Really easy listen with tons of awesome moments.

Really like this album, good mix of the classic 'Stones' along with some more mellow stuff and even country.

-It’s clear why they’re one of the GOATs - They effortlessly create groove - Love the sound of the drum kit

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

Dig it

Yes

Classic. Lots more blues/jam than I expected.

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.

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.

4.75

Classic

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.

7/10. Dead flowers is excellent, the rest is pretty good.

8.5/10 muy gueno tiene wild horses y la cancion racist. dms consistente y 0 skips

good but not their best

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 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.

Good rock album. I was listening to this at the perfect time on the road. My favorite song was “Moonlight Mile”.

Initially I was, like 'oh no a Rolling Stones album,' but this was very good. Brown Sugar is my favourite song.

4.5/5

This really feels like a complete Rolling Stones album, full of swagger, sex and soul. Good stuff

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.

Come for the rock, stay for the blues.

Classic Stones

Really good. Liked the bluesy parts of this one!

Very varied

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

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.

Well old this lot

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

Starting off with the controversial Brown Sugar - gonna be a good one. Stones are always good.

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.

ok

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.

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

4.5 only because Sister Morphine, like most drug songs, is only good for titillating adolescent boys.

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

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

Some of my favourite Rolling Stones songs

Liked Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Cant You Hear Me Knockin

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.

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.

Highlights: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't You Hear Me Knocking

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.

Despite some uncomfortable lyrics, this album rocks good, the stones almost at their finest

Except for the appalling racism, a fine album.

Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking and Bitch all on one album. And the rest is solid too.

I've never really got the Rolling Stones, but listening to this it's finally clicked. An undeniably great blues rock record that is both dirty and raucous, and tender and pretty. My personal highlights are the more tender moments. Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile stand out but there's hardly a weak track on the album and the balance of hard and soft on this record is perfect. Rating: 4/5 Playlist track: Wild Horses Date listened: 16/12/22

Top three stones

Fun for running errands

brown sugar tho wtf....

Finally I listened their album from start to finish

Catchy chord progressions, moody blues, and sick dirty riffs that certainly don’t belong in 1971!

It's hard to believe we really heard this and thought "wow those British dudes sure are creative and groovy."

Classic and full-on Stonesy - it's the non-hits that drive the quality, really – though it's not their absolute peak. One feels the need to shower after hearing "Can You Hear Me Knockin'".

Maybe I've listened to too much stuff, but I don't feel too interested in The Rolling Stones anymore. I can recognize this as one of their best works though. Favorites: Wild Horses, Dead Flowers, Moonlight Mile

Although I'm familiar with most of these songs I'm not quite old enough to have ever seen the album itself. Looking at the cover art now I find it quite obnoxious. Learning that the album cover featured an actual zipper you could unzip -- that's uber obnoxious. Kudos. Brown Sugar is such a great opening track, provided you don't listen too closely to the lyrics. Wild Horses is another complete classic and I've always loved Can't You Hear Me Knocking. I've always felt pretty take it or leave it with the Stones, but willing to acknowledge that they do have some truly great individual songs. Listening to Beggars Banquet earlier in this pushed me a little away from them, to be honest. But Sticky Fingers is a solid argument for why the Rolling Stones very much do belong in the pantheon of all time great rock bands.

Rollareiden parhaimpia biisejä: Brown sugar ja Wild horses. Lopun venyttelyt vähän laskevat tunnelmaa. Ei kokonaisuus, mutta 70-luvulla ei ehkä sellaista vielä samalla lailla haettukaan.

Levy alkaa mahdollisesti maailman parhaalla kappaleella, ja ainakin maailman parhaalla riffillä - joka on vielä JAGGERIN säveltämä, mikä sotii kiinnostavasti Keith-myyttiä (johon uskon täysin) vastaan. Mutta faktat faktoina: albumin A-puoli on kokonaisuudessaan liian hidas ja 70-lukulaisen junnaava. Sway on levyn kontekstissa soulfilleriä, Wild Horses yliarvostettu ja Can't You Hear Me Knocking aikansa vakiofunkkia. Toisin on B-puolen laita. Jokainen sen kappaleista edustaa omassa lajissaan lähes täydellisyytta, ja vaikka on tietysti kuulijan omasta esteettisestä suuntautumisesta kiinni, mikä niistä iskee kovimmin, yhdenkään ansiokkuutta ei voi kiistää. Itse äänestän Bitchin ja Dead Flowersin puolesta.

Super upbeat happy music. I haven’t really given the Stones the time of day until now so it’s super refreshing.

Back in the 60s and 70s, people thought they could be either a Beatles or Stones fan. I leaned more into the Beatles camp. I didn't HATE the Stones, but I didn't know them as well as I probably should. A number of the tracks I recognize, but did not realize the titles ("Bitch," for example). Three songs I was not a big fan of: "Wild Horses" (had heard it before, it seemed like a forced country song) "I Got The Blues" - the lyrics felt a little forced, and the conclusion was kind of clunky "Moonlight Mile" - the ending kinda trailed off. But most of that is quibbling the strengths of this album: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" "Bitch" "Sway" "Sister Morphine" It's weird to hear "Brown Sugar"now, since the Stones have retired that track since they felt it's so... problematic. But it's still a great track. The minor quibbles I have with the album aside, this would be one of the albums I would have people start with for the Stones. Solid effort by them.

There are some real beauties on this album, just oozing old time blues rock. Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking (awesome guitar work), Bitch. So good. So classic Stones. And there's some good ballads too with some real deep lyrics. Wild Horses, Sister Morphine. Though not quite as good, respect for some of the more straight ahead blues efforts like You Gotta Move and I Got the Blues. Don't forget where the Stones came from, and blues is it. I was close to a 5 but I feel like I gave them a bump on another album that was maybe just a 4, and not all Stones albums should be a 5.

Between 3&4 but felt the class deserved a 4

4/5. There is a lot to love on this classic album. Brown Sugar is an iconic classic. Wild Horses is one of the top 10 Stones songs of all time. Bitch has a familiar riff that makes me feel like I know the song, but I really don’t remember ever hearing it before. I Got the Blues sounds so Ottis Redding-like with out being a rip off. It is a perfect tribute to a master of soulful blues. Can’t you hear me knocking is two songs in one: the song and the jam session. Just imagine what we have lost if they didn’t keep recording after the main part of the song was over. Dead Flowers, shows how versatile the band can be. Rock, blues and now country….Sticky fingers gives the listener one joyful surprise after another. And at no time does the listener get the feeling they know what is coming next. The album winds down with Moonlight Mile, a soulful rock ballad that gives the listener time to reflect on what they just took in during the previous forty minutes. I can just image listening to this album for the first time back in 1971… hearing the final song fade, listening as the needle makes it was to the end of the album, the arm lifting up and start moving back to the resting place. I would have probably been chilling on a bean-bag and would have just sat in silence for a half hour only to get up, flip the album over to side 1 and start the journey again.

Solid blues rock record.

Arguably my favorite stones album, not really anything bad to say about it.

I expected this album to go into 3 star rock hell, but it was a bit more interesting than that!

Classic. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has always been a personal favourite!

I've listened to quite a bit of The Rolling Stones before, but never sat and listened to a whole album cover to cover. Right off the bat, I knew Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking. I enjoyed the country/blues feel of the songs You Gotta Move and I Got The Blues. Sister Morphine is a beautifully sad song about drug addiction. The way the song starts slow and melancholic, and continues to build as the lyrics spin a tale of desperation and desire adds to the beauty of the track. Bitch and Sway both had rockin' feels to them. I enjoy the addition of brass instruments by times (mainly in the song Can't You Hear Me Knocking) Overall a great album. Got me familiar with some of The Rolling Stones lesser known tracks, some of which are gems. Favourite songs: Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sway, Bitch, Sister Morphine, Wild Horses Least favourite song: Moonlight Mile 4/5

One of their best

À mon avis, le meilleur des Stones. Les tounes ont des arrangements superbes. C’est très réfléchi comme album. Les solos de guitare et de hammond et de sax (oui, de sax) sont malades.

Lekker potje muziek

Lekker bluesy

I've never actually listened to a Rolling Stones album in full. This is a band that I've just never been a huge fan of in general for reasons I can't explain. I knew the hits off this album but the non-hits didn't do anything for me. It's still good music, but it just doesn't excite me much in any way.

This album has its issues but a lot of it is great. Wild Horses and Dead Flowers are two highlights, and Moonlight Mile is a perfect closer

Stones, baby! There's some pretty great guitar sounds on this album. Richards is by no means the best player, but I do like many of his licks; it's really hard to beat Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

Liked this more than I like most Rolling Stones. Actually was pretty good. 3.75/5

Just really good stuff. Terrific songwriting and playing, and the pacing is perfect. If you’ve been rocked too hard, it’s time for some well-placed slow moments, and then back to the groove. The Stones at their best mayb. A-, could be an A and 5 stars but I need to hoard these better

Moonlight Mile is SUCH an amazing song... definitely bumped the whole album up an extra star. The rest of the album definitely wasn't my favorite of what The Rolling Stones has in their arsenal but still always solid music

I love a classic rock blues sound. Their music has survived decades and that’s pretty remarkable

Too many good tracks on this album to let the "meh" ones bring it down. Just a pleasure to listen to so much of this.

Brown shoogah, good album, more easy to listen to than other stones albums.

Really great - the Stones have got such a great sound, and some real tunes.

Good all the way through, nice to listen some Stones songs which aren't that mainstream

I loved this. What a band

Banging!

Banger. Et av de store albumene fra min ungdomstid.

One of their less annoying ones, this has some good stuff on itm

Good stuff. Impressive cover ;)

Probablement le meilleur album des Rolling Stones que j'ai écouté à date. Je comprends pourquoi c'est souvent lui qui est mentionné quand on parle d'albums classiques du band

S Tier = Brown Sugar; Can’t You Hear Me Knocking; Bitch A Tier = Wild Horses; Sister Morphine B Tier = Dead Flowers; Moonlight Mile C Tier = Sway; I Got the Blues D Tier = You Gotta Move AVG SCORE: 3.4 / 5 --- I've always appreciated the Stones' impact on music, but have never been what I would consider a "fan." I'd wager that my familiarity with their work is only slightly above average, and many of my favorites are in lock-step with pop culture. Seeing "Brown Sugar," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and "Bitch" on the tracklist brought a big smile to my face -- they are my top three Stones songs, after all -- and "Wild Horses" is one I can enjoy when the mood strikes, so I knew from the outset this would be a fun time. But I was also pleasantly surprised by the haunting "Sister Morphine," which instantly hooked me on my first listen. "Dead Flowers" and "Moonlight Mile" didn't quite have the same pull, but they were absolutely serviceable cruising tunes. Really, with the exception of "You Gotta Move," I could just hit shuffle and let this album play without skipping a song. And for that reason, I give it a bump to 4-stars.

CANT YOU HEAR ME KNOCKIN

right off the bat you could just hear rock and roll which is just everything i look for in an album. it was pure rock and it was good.

Not really a Stones fan here even if I'm likely firmly in an ideal demographic.... but this is *the* album. No 60s polite rock, no meandering like they were about to bore me with on "Exile..." - this is 45 minutes of mostly to-the-point grimy greasy excellent bluesy ROCK. Virtually every song works and there's a decent flow to the album, especially the first half: from the killer opening single of "Brown Sugar," the mellow "Wild Horses" through the groove of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and rollicking "Bitch" it's a great collection. Strong American blues/country influence throughout - although at times a bit too much - e.g the painfully slow bluesy tunes do nothing for me (e.g. "I Got the Blues" and "You Gotta Move" which also seems a bit too derivative) - and the 2nd half drags a bit but this might be the album to give the casual rock fan / i.e. someone who isn't always convinced of the Rolling Stones (e.g. me). When they were on like they were here, they were tough to top. 8/10 4 stars.

So far, so good Moonlight Mile is quite boring Brown Sugar is a blast

4 Bought this album when it came out. Bitch was the reason. Brown Sugar got more play but seems problematic. Several other good-to-great songs, some beautifully done- Wild Horses, Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers. But like many other Stones albums, some ridiculous crap- You Got To Move.

This album was pretty good, enjoyed Wild Horses and can't you hear me knocking the most but probably preferred them due to familiarity

classic and iconic. fave track is moonlight mile.

First album on this list! Enjoyed hearing the guitars at different spots in the soundstage and being able to tell exactly where and how they interlocked. Sister Morphine is the standout for me.

This thing rocks, great tunes all throughout with some solid slow jams as well. Highlights: Brown Sugar, Bitch, Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

swing and hard with gender

Its back to basics for the Stones and it results in this truly classic rock album with several of their best songs. When they were at the top of their game they were quite arguably the greatest rock and roll band in the world.

I always think I don't like the Stones, and then I listen to them and remember I like them a lot. Wild Horses might be my favorite track of theirs ever. What is it with every single 70s/80s rock group having an album cover that is: JEANS?

Tää oli loistava. Sopi hyvin pidemmälle ajomatkalle ois mielellään kuunnellu pari kertaa, mut levykertymää piti ottaa kii

I didn't know I would be a fan of The Rolling Stones! Obviously I knew a lot of their songs, but I always thought of this band as a generic 60s/70s rock band. And I was wrong. Sticky Fingers is a joyous album, mixing some classic blues melodies, a little bit of rock and everything rolled in a juicy Mick Jaggers vocals. The album is a real even mix of blues and rock, and the perfect example of it would be 'Can't you hear me knocking. The flow of the song and the feeling of an extremely well oiled blues improv make it my favourite on this album and probably favourite from the band. Only issues I have is that Jagger's vocal is tiring you in big doses and the 'only' rock songs are a bit underwhelming. But still, really solid album!

Uujee! Rakastan! Todella hyvii biisejä. Ei ihan täysien pisteiden arvoinen mutta erinomaisen hyvä. 4/5

Vähän epätasainen, mutta salee paras rollarilevy Exilen kanssa.

Erittäin solid rokkilevy

Some skippable songs, but overall incredible vocals and progressively more progressive.

Probably my favorite stones record I’ve heard so far

Good listening, classic rock is always top shelf.

A classic album from a legendary and influential rock band. Not much else to say.

This is a classic stones album! I’d highly recommend giving it a listen!

Brown Sugar is a great way to start this album. I like this track! I will definitely listen to this album again.

a true classic of rock and roll. 8/10 album

Cool album, probably fun to listen to outside at night drinking beers. Really liked the last few tracks

yes

J’ai vu souvent cet album mais je ne l’avais pas encore écouté dans son ensemble. Comme j’ai déjà mentionné, j’aime des pièces des Rolling Stones, mais rarement des albums en entier. Ici on y est presque. Je crois que c’est l’album que j’aime le plus finalement. Plusieurs classiques ici comme Brown Sugar, Wild Horses et Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. La pochette est emblématique. J’aime particulièrement la version en vinyle où il y avait une vraie fermeture éclair sur la pochette.

It’s basically a greatest hits album, and there are definitely some great songs. Wild, Wild horses is always great. Brown sugar is beyond problematic but at least they’ve retired that song concerts??

this was really refreshing, i’d never heard any of these songs before and enjoyed the album a lot

Classic, solid and good all around. But I'd give 5 stars to something like Exile, and that's not to say this one doesn't deserve it.

First good Rolling Stones album 4 I really enjoyed this one.

Brown Sugar is as hard and vulgar as the Stones get. Wild Horses is as beautiful as they get. A great album.

I super don't care about the stones. I think they are interesting, but shit feels and sounds so old it's almost country music to me lol. I don't know, not for me I guess.

Inicio de los Stones. Un 4.

Bien. Wild Horses

also so good.

Pretty sweet album. I think it’s the first time I’ve listened to a Stones album so I was happy to get into it. A decent amount of variation in the songs, but still everything is so well written and executed. The slower cuts were more appealing to me but the heavier ones still were quite nice. 7/10

Such a good album-- really defined their sound.

4, good content

Slow, grimey, great tunes. Although that first track is a rough one once I figured out the lyrical content. Also the end of Can You Hear Me Knocking goes on a bit too long.

Moonlight Mile Pog

Quite a mix here which makes things interesting.

Sequencia fundamental do rock clássico.

This ones a bit better for me after listening to Aftermath. Wild Horses is prob my fav, Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking are also great.

In my top 5 Stones albums for sure. I just wish that radio stations would remember that there are songs other than Brown Sugar on here!

I am not a hug Stones fan, having said that...even if you remove the two tracks that have been burned into your existence, Brown Sugar and Wild Horses...You still have Can't You Hear Me Knocking (personal fave), Bitch, and Moonlight Mile. Impressive album.

More blues and southern rock sound than anticipated. One hears "The Rolling Stones" and it may bring to mind certain thoughts about what they sound like. This record is the reason for that: it contains so many of the sounds they're known for. And, to this listener, it had a few surprises. All in all a good listen.

Better than I remember. The opening chords echo across all time, even as the naughty lyrics have reached full taboo. It’s lurid and grimy – ”Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” might be the druggiest song ever. One is pleasantly surprised by the lesser-known and underrated “Sway” and “I Got the Blues” and “Moonlight Mile,” which maintain a very high standard between the hits. “Bitch” (all-time horn lick) and “Dead Flowers” (such countrified tongue-in-cheekiness) also stand out. One can make the case that "Brown Sugar" is actually one of the weaker cuts. “Wild Horses” is borderline mawkish, but Mick fully owns it. Some longeurs late, but awfully good overall, if not quite Beggars Banquet. 4.4 / 4

Liked it golden oldies

Pretty good album! Only knew one of the tracks and enjoyed the album overall

Rockin

A pretty solid album. It still has some things I could nitpick like when Can't You Hear Me Knockin' starts going off the rails. You Gotta Move is annoying. But the rest is all pretty entertaining. Wild Horses is definitely one of my all time favorites from the band.

Possibly my favourite Stones album; Wild Horses and Dead Flowers my favourite tracks with only the clichéd blues numbers letting it down.

I will start by saying that the only two Rolling Stones albums I really, really like, aren't most likely featured on the book (I haven't checked and I don't want to, as I prefer to keep the surprise factor going on) As this record begins, with Brown Sugar, I come to understand why it is so highly regarded. I expected myself to be annoyed though. Great job, 1001 Albums Generator! Still, I can't help but wonder if this is sort of a way of getting away with the Altamont affair.  The sax is a nice touch.  The country leanings of the two following tracks, Sway and Wild Horses, don't cut it for me, but I can hear that the latter is a really beautiful ballad, if excessively syrupy to my taste. By Can't You Hear Me Knocking I am convinced that the recording sounds wonderful and that it makes the whole thing infectious. There is a risk that I add it to my wishlist.  I also liked You Gotta Move, which reminds me of Chuck E. Weiss, although this one came decades before. The brass section on Bitch is another nice touch.  By I Got The Blues/Sister Morphine I got genuinely bored. I can't take that much Lynyrd Skynyrd. 5 for the recording, sound quality, and arrangements, 2 for the slide guitars and the such. Generous 3.5

Wild horses is great but a lot of the rest is a bit meh, did grow on me though

RS

I mean it's the Rolling Stones doing what they do best; some good old fashioned rock and roll. This album has a few classics, Wild Horses, Can you Hear Me Knocking and Brown Sugar. It's just a good solid album at then end of the day!

4.5/5. Exile on Main > but still got some undeniable forever classics

Classic Stones

Great album, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is phenomenal.

Almost the dictionary definition of 70s classic rock, isn't it?

I really thought that I would have more fun with this today. It doesn't help that I don't care for Wild Horses. I guess this was my first listen for this album...that also surprises me...

Some undeniably great music on this album. Too bad Brown Sugar is such a groove because the lyrics are pretty despicable. I'm glad to read that the band's removed it from their setlist. Wild Horses used to be among my least favorite Stones' songs but it's grown on me. Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile are new loves.

Probably the best stones album I got so far. Much more consistent than a lot of their 60s discography.

Very good album, I can't choose a specific favorite but I found it very interesting that the original album cover came with an actual working zipper.

Dad music! Trucks, cassettes, and driving around on summer nights.

this was my first time listening to a rolling stones album in its entirety and it was a lot sicker than I expected. wild horses and bitch were definitely standout tracks for me. I prefer the more bluesy tracks on this album but the whole thing is quite good from start to finish.

initial thoughts: very good summer vibes, reminds me of being a kid and going on sunday drives towards the water with my family. dad has always been a stones fan fav off album: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

Bit of an iconic album really

I like

ändå en go fyra

I ain’t finna cap this album is kinda cool. Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is a banger

Not as good as exile but loved the horn arrangements

A great album, not much else to say. Hadn’t heard any of the songs from this album, but it was a good listen. Favorite Songs: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile

One of the Stones' deepest albums, both musically and emotionally.

Never been a big Stones fan, but even I have to admit this album is a classic. Such a variety of styles from blues to country to folk to pure straight ahead rock. They even sound a bit like Santana in the second half of Can't You Hear Me Knocking. 4 stars.

אלבום ממש טוב ממש נהנתי

Much better than I expected.

the rolling stones are kind of cringe but this album has good songs

A classic. not a big fan of dad rock really, but i enjoyed this album nonetheless 8/10

Not their best overall, but with some of the best individual tunes

I love the Stones and this is album I have tried to like more than I actually do. I always end up wishing I was listening to one of their sixties albums with Brian Jones. I don't care much for Wild Horses and Brown Sugar is as bit overrated. I do really like Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile is awesome. Plus Bitch totally rocks and the latin jam on Can you hear the music is cool. It's not a bad album just not as good as it's reputation suggests. 7/10 so I rounded up to 4 stars

Hard not to like, always find the Stones a mixed bag, but when they do it well they really do it well

At last a sixties /seventies album I can get behind. This is a classic. OK, it's a load of whiteboy blues covers with questionable accents, but they make them their own and really knock them out of the park.

Solid

Three hits and a lot of very solid music

Ett mångbottnat album som ger dig allt det bästa som Rolling Stones har att erbjuda! Härligt rockig inledning med Brown Sugar, otroligt gitarrspelande från Mick Taylor i Sway, maffiga ballader i Wild Horses och I Got the Blues, musikalisk orgie i andra delen av Can't You Hear Me Knocking, tillbakablick till bluesrötterna i You Gotta Move, emorock i Dead Flowers, och ren perfektion i Sister Morphine. Magnifikt rockalbum, magnifikt band. Nosar ohyggligt nära femman, men för nöja sig med fyra. Bästa låt: Sister Morphine.

Rating: 8.6/10 3 of the 10 songs really stood out to me. The rest were nice, but not something I would listen to on repeat (unlike the three below). Really liked "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" - a long rocky song, with a nice fat sax towards the latter half of it. In general, you can definitely tell this record was setting the foundations for a lot of future rock music. "I Got The Blues" has a really cool organ/piano solo in the middle. Super rocky and jivy, despite the slow tempo of the song. Despite the low amount of listens, "Sister Morphine" is a really great song, piano distantly playing in the background, and the "country"-esque guitar sound all the way through is nice. The guitar that plays in the beginning and throughout plays chords that constantly remind me of Stairway To Heaven (the part before the drums kick in).

Canzoni famose più sonorità familiari. Brown Sugar ^^^ I got the blues Non mi è particolarmente nuovo, pur non avendolo mai ascoltato per intero, dato che i Rolling Stones sono la base di buona parte della musica moderna e vengono trasmessi ancora oggi con buona frequenza. Comunque molto godibile.

fg

dolk i jeans. Roots, rock, folky. Wild Horses er klasse. Meget positivt overrasket. Mange facetter. Bundsolidt. Faktisk helt, helt vildt fedt.

Rock n Roll, blues, stemningsfuldt, karismatisk

Good one

Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are old favorites. Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Bitch are strong. Probably Sway is the only song on this one that I wish could be over soon. This feels like ideal Rolling Stones - it feels timeless in an old-fashioned way.

The inclusion of Wild Horses already made this three stars on its own, and just a solid album otherwise...

This album was much better than aftermath in my opinion. It was still a unique stones album from their earlier work and clearly showed that they wanted to experiment with blues, country, and continue working with psychedelic sounds. I was surprised by the Black influence in you gotta move as well. I can still hear this album in modern indie blues with songs like moonlight mile and wild horses has always been one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. Fav songs: moonlight mile, wild horses, sister morphine, moonlight mile, you gotta move

Starts great with an awesome riff and groovy stuff with Brown Sugar. Then an awkward attempt of a ballad from which the only good thing is the guitar solos. Wild Horses is decent though the chorus gets old quick. CYHMK is very nice. In general, a chill album with bluesy stuff, bit unexpected as a pretty much an ignorant on the RS. Guitar is great all along. Solid 4+

Great first half, wasn’t massively engaged as it continued

Overall a very solid effort from a classic rock and roll band. Some of the messages do not carry over very well into these times.

Definitely an amazing rock and blues album. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are clearly the staples, but Bitch, Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers are also fantastic tracks. A bit more bluesy than expected, but very enjoyable.

Pretty solid album. The only song I don't like is Sister Morphine. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is a jam.

some belters her.e. 4stars

This is not my favorite Rolling Stones, but I am very familiar with it. I think side 1 is the stronger of the two, but they’re both great.

4/5

I really liked this album, there were only a couple of songs I didn't like that much. Definitely the best album I've heard so far from this band! 4/5 stars

Brown Sugar: Overrated. Sway: Sick Wild Horses: IDK man

Classic, love the bluesy influences.

The Rolling Stones have always been better than The Beatles. This album is fantastic, and is always in heavy rotation on my turntable. I'd give it a full 5 stars if there weren't other Stones records that edge it out. 4.75*

Good chill soft rock album. Would listen to again

🎸

Big fan of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, and the Otis Redding/R&B vibe of I Got The Blues. Chilled, easy listening early 70s rock, with some nice country/folk/blues influences coming through. Each song brought something different which was a pleasant surprise.

Мои отношения с The Rolling Stones похожи на отношения с Led Zeppelin. Типа дохуя классическая легендарная группа, у которой имхо пару классных треков, а остальное - какой-то дженерик-роцк унылый. Только вот о легендарности TRS я слышал не так и часто, из-за чего предвзятости к ним всё же меньше. Не, ну альбом в целом по кайфу, тупо приятно слушать, даже несмотря на мою определённую антипатию к праздному блюз-року. Бодро, мелодично, внятно, даже умеренно разнообразно. Более походит не на дженерик, а на "дженератор", так скажем. То есть на то, что на момент выхода было условным прорывом, а позже будет скопировано и размножено. А что касается альбома... великолепные гитарные партии Кита Ричардса, энергичные барабанные ритмы Чарли Уоттса, а Мик Джаггер... Джаггер тут настоящий сваггер, и этим всё сказано.

ого оказывается для того чтобы стать культовой группой в то время надо было всего лишь не раздражать музыкой и ебнутым воем норм альбомчик, для меня это и есть дефолтный рок

Had a good time with this. It had some great blues riffs and soulful vocals from Mc Jagger. Not as catchy as some of their other material, but you can groove it it well. Favorite Song: Can You Hear Me Knockin

Rock, soul, country rock and slow tunes. Pretty good!

Just really solid old hard rock. Probably the album already wasn't very original from the moment it was released, but it's just all-round solid without a bad track on it. The only stand-out track is Wild Horses - a true classic of a song.

Ja komm, Klassiker irgendwie, ne?

Still their best album by a distance for me - has got better since I last reviewed it (or I’ve developed better taste ;) - an easy four

Classic, kinda bluesy, 7/10

Such a great album with a nice country flavor. Really strong 4, maybe 5 one day.

4/5 nice album with good songs! Probably their best!

This album has a dusty swagger to it that is evocative of The Rolling Stones sound. It’s a refrain of Mick’s infidelities and apologies. “Can You Hear Me Knocking” has one of the greatest licks of all time and im not sure of it simply sounds like the 70s or if its presence in all 70s movies has made it the sound of the 70s. This album drags a bit in the middle, but is generally solid all the way through; it’s like a road trip through the history of American rock by the Brits. Pretty damn good, but not perfect. A-, so a 4.

Really good album, weirdly Mick's voice is what keeps this from a 5, i feel like he tries a little too hard on some of the deeper cuts to jazz them up.

never been a big stones fan, this is a undeniable 4 -5 though

Mija lewdwie tydzien, a tu kolejne kamienie wysypalo na liscie, jesli after match zaczynal jakas epoke w historii dyskograficznej stonesow, to sticky fingers wlasnie jest zakonczeniem tego okresu, jest to tez pierwsza plyta nagrana po smierci jonesa, ktory odpowiadal glownie za gitarki na poprzednich produkcjach, zastapil go mick taylor, ktory juz gral na let it bleed, bo w tym okresie doszlo do rozlamu w grupie, po ktorej jones jako czlek z zbyt przepalonymi stykami zostal puszczony, a co do samych stickowych fingersow, to w moim odczuciu jest to najbardziej niebieski album grupy jaki wydala, dodatkowo jeden z najbardziej konwencjonalnie nagranych materialow, bo nie ma darcia mordy jagerowania praktycznie wcale, szalonych instrumentali egzotykowych, jak za czasow jonesowych, chociaz lubia sie pojawic jakies trumpety niespodziewanie, jak na kawalku bitch, ktory jednak nie jest dla mnie hajlajtem plyty, bo najbardziej sluchalne kawalki w bardzo stonowym stylu oblegaja poczatek i koniec, zostawiajac uczucie ze srodek jest troche zapychaczem, jesli by sluchac na vynylaku lub innym starozytnym nosniku, najbardziej zywy kawalek plyty otwierajacy brown sugar, potem juz zejscie w klimaty bluesowe wild horsami, a zakonczenie dead flowerami, razem z siostra mrofinowa, najlepsze czesci plyty podczas tego odsluchu, jako ze ded kwiatuchy juz byly na plejce, to siostra i cukier zostana dodane, no i kolejny raz problem z ocena w skali 5 gwiazdkowej, bo nie siedzi mi tak jak aftermatch, ale jednak nie jest to trojkowa plyta, wiec skala 10 punktowa z przecinkami bylaby tutaj bardzo na miejscu

Wild Horses (1971)

Inicio de los Stones.

Good rock album.

I love The Rolling Stones even if I cannot look at Mick Jagger :).

Bueno

good one, very rocksy, never heard it full before

Sprøde melodier

Very good. 8-9/10 1. Can't You Hear Me Knocking 2. Wild Horses 3. Moonlight Mile

Really BLUESY - You gotta move Love the vibes on this album. At one point there was sad? The sound they are creating is so unique and bluesy! Lots of unexpected instruments - violin on the last song? Saxophone?

Good straight blues.

Vibey! Not my fav, but a nice calm moment.

classic stones

Classic rock and roll. Great stuff.

Album Side one starts off with a flourish with Brown Sugar. Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking are great. Bitch sounds like it should be on Side one, as it sounds like two albums. One that is fast and rhythmic. The second seems thrown together. The great songs are historic, the rest is forgettable. 3.5

Audi hat mit doch zugesagt. Ich werde wohl absagen.

If you like their thing you can't really fault this run of Stones albums.

I really love the guitar on Moonlight Mile

Quality Stones album, add it to the faves.

Classic Rolling Stones, as classic as classic rock can get.

Pretty good. From the time before they became arena rock stuff.

It's the Rolling Stones! A classic entry of theirs. A bluesy funk infuses the album.

The rolling stones are the rolling stones yup nothing crazy

Great album, classic rock and roll, lots of great tracks

4/5. The back half gets a little plodding (I Got The Blues especially feels useless) but the high energy tracks are spectacular blues jams and the ballads are the most iconic and well put together of their catalogue

This is that classic rock dad rock straight to the veins with the nostalgia type of vibe. I feel like I've heard this record lifetimes before my own.

Amazing album art, amazing music. I don't know if I'd call it their prime, but definitely genre defining and ceiling breaking for them

Superb. Not quite a 5 star experience but there isn’t anything to crumble about.

cool

Classic

Great

I feel bad not giving this a 5 or anything, but it's a good, solid, blues rock record. A little slower in spots, and a few songs feel kind of formulaic for the Stones. Also, the less said about the lyrics to "Brown Sugar", the better. Still a killer song. Favorite tracks: "Brown Sugar", "Bitch", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"

Better than expected yet somehow still a bit disappointing. 4 stars, though.

actually a 7

The best Rolling Stones record so far. But it does not mean that it is somewhat exciting.

The Rolling Stones are one of those big names you all heard of but that don't seem to have real hardcore fans, at least in recent times. I expected it to be a bit harder than what I listened to, but I completely understand the appeal and the novelty the band brought when this album first came out. It's still up there with the beatles, but I will not dive deeper into the discography.

Not my favorite from the Stones but still some bangers on here. That early fuzz tone is still to fucking kill for. Highlights: brown sugar, can't you hear me knocking

★★★☆☆ This is probably the best Rolling Stones album I've heard so far. I still have the same problem I usually have with them: there are songs where I like what the band is doing, but Mick Jagger's voice and delivery just don't work for me. “Wild Horses” and “I Got the Blues” are good examples of songs I probably would've liked more with a different vocal. That said, this was a pretty consistent listen and flowed well as an album. “Sway” and “Sister Morphine” were probably the highlights, and there wasn't much here that I outright disliked. I rated every song individually and ended up with an average of 5.35/10. Factoring in the flow of the album, **5.5 feels right.** Still not enough to turn me into a Stones fan, but definitely a step up from the other albums I've heard. **3 stars.**

7/10

My mixed feelings about The Rolling Stones continues with this album, at times I really get it and see what all the fuss is about (e.g. 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking') and at others I can't help but find them boring and a bit tiresome to listen to (e.g. 'I Got the Blues'). This is probably my favourite of theirs I've listened to so far, but I'm obviously missing something so many others get, because I just find it all a bit overhyped.

besides wild horses it's just an alright batch of songs

Okay, the Stones again... Those average white blues fans who sind songs about evil women. Not their worst album and some really good songs, but overall I will never get the hype. Way too much of them on here, no doubt.

Some really nice blues-y sounds in parts, but I probably wouldn't regularly listen to.
