Sticky Fingers

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

Its okay

Those Brown Sugar lyrics, though. Yikes

Good album, quite a bit of recognizable songs but nothing special for me at least.

I listened to this about three times today, and mostly because I kept forgetting to listen to it. The music wasn't bad, just completely unmemorable

This is not their best album in my opinion. Still has some hits though.

After getting through a couple of Rolling Stones albums and giving them pretty low marks, I have to say this one wasn't bad. I certainly recognized more of this album than I thought. It has Brown Sugar. It was the song from all the Scorcese movies. It has the song from The Big Lebowski on it! Dead Flowers and Wild Horses are probably among the few Rolling Stones songs I actually really like, so this was pretty good.

Almost a 4. This is my 3rd Stones album in just over 50 albums - let me branch out already! The Stones at their best are incredible and the rest is inedible. A bit hyperbole, but I loved the first half of the album and lost my steam by the middle before gaining it back by the end. Highs: Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking Lows: Bitch

Fav: Wild Horses

undoubtedly iconic

Can't say I'm a fan of the song that talks about raping an enslaved black girl.

Not a bad album, although I can't pin any particular songs which I liked the most from it, but those are usually my feelings towards The Rolling Stones opus 😁

🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 (rounded down because no riff can erase slave rape fantasies, which should be the stipulation on a half-a-star review but unfortunately this album also has “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” and “Wild Horses,” so I guess it’s time for me to look like an ass) Is art’s “goodness” dependent on its morality? Uncomfortably, I’m not sure I think they necessarily correlate, although the thrall of aesthesis can only go so far before yucky subject matter icks out listeners. TL;DR: sometimes I feel guilty for liking problematic songs, but sometimes, a song is problematic enough on its own that the melody don’t really matter, do it? Case in point: I’ve been excited to listen to Sticky Fingers for a while now solely because “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” fucking rocks, and really that’s all. Today, I was so curious to start “Brown Sugar” because of how the reviews either tiptoed trepidatiously around it or relished in its triggering content, though nobody seemed to write it off completely. How could it be so bad but so good? Even the wikipedia page for the song seems quite coy about the subject matter, as the controversy only appears as an afterthought lower down the page, with the last sentence of its paragraph referencing taboos like “cunnilingus, interracial sex, and [beat] slavery.” HUH?? But again, I thought, surely this can’t be that bad—probably some classically immature Jagger licking his lips at tastelessly kinky Race play, likely in a metaphor that only sounded clever in the studio. Cut to the opening line: “Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields—“ HUH???? So, okay, let’s talk about “Brown Sugar,” because it really is that bad, but the reviews want me to ask, “but is it really?” Well, I’m gonna have to answer with a question via my woketron 3000 covid vaccine implant, which is screaming “is this not a rape fantasy? Of a slave??” And like, the answer to that is obviously yes, but the internet seems in denial of that. In my ensuing research bender, I was fascinated to find rich discourse on the multiple metaphorical layers supposedly sitting atop what’s lyrically a soggy paper foundation. Genius Lyrics, of “Brown Sugar,” claims “There are several different ways to interpret this song. The most straightforward is a meditation on white male on black female sex and how power has influenced it. Alternatively it could be more generally about interracial sex or black sex. Finally, as meta-fiction: Mick Jagger plunders the musical history of black people from slave rhythms, to spirituals, to blues, to honky tonk. And further is willing to proudly crow about how tempting and good they are.” This is a scrumptious take for me because it comes not four sentences after a quote about how Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics on a notepad in forty-five seconds before recording. Look, I don’t want to underestimate anybody’s genius, but this is clearly a fucked-up raceplay song from the perspective of the slaver, right? Maybe my 45-second skim wasn’t quite on par with Jagger’s intelligence, but to me, this isn’t exactly dripping with textual evidence of commentary of any sort—something something “Satire requires clarity of intent” (By the way, this is a footnote-worthy digression, but some sources say the song was inspired by Jagger’s short-lived tryst with Claudia Lennear—the same person Bowie wrote “Lady Grinning Soul” about, which is truly night and day with this one—but there’s also another woman, Marsha Hunt, who claims it’s about her, and it’s like… do we really want to fight over this? Interestingly, it seems Lennear did write a song about Jagger, too, called “Not At All,” which she has said was "to inform Mick Jagger of his dispensability,” which feels like both a classier clapback and also somehow the objective winner). But yea, it’s not like “controversial lyrics” or “not for the thin-skinned,” it’s just a rapey slave fantasy—duh. While spiraling down a Stones reddit thread where everyone seemed in denial about this song, I found the situation pretty succinctly summarized:“This isn't exactly Tipper Gore reading into the vaguaries of hair rock lyricism, it's the words.” This isn’t even really veiled in tipsy innuendo, that’s just what he says. For anyone else that might be a career ender, but has anyone ever asked Mick Jagger to be an upstanding pillar of ethical sexuality? Isn’t his grotesque horniness exactly the grit that cakes this bluesy music? If that’s the case, does that make me disgusting for liking it, at least in the abstract? Part of me thinks the Stones would sound just as crunchy and greasy without him, and I’d even say his voice would still have that iconic gruffness if he was using different words. Then again, I’m doing a lot of defending for a riff we haven’t even really discussed yet—one that better be some kind of platinum galactic chakra enema if anyone’s willing to die by “Brown Sugar,” right? Well, um, after listening, it’s like… fine? Okay, not even trying to be hipster about it, it’s decent even, but brother, come on—that’s what all this fuss was about? I’d say the same for “Bitch,” by the way—it’s not really worth the effort of defending, to me. I mean, is there any level of shreddage that could eclipse blatant misogyny and racism? Umm… obviously, no, but I think I want a lawyer. Still, if there were such a riff, it wouldn’t be here—not sure why this is one of the big hitters. Oh, yea, and Sticky Fingers—was that any good? Well, setting aside that stunner of a first track, I was ready to regrettably give this one a four, or maybe more—“Sway,” “Wild Horses,” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” just about blasted my balls off. What a lineup. Unfortunately, the first side, in my mind, is much stronger than the second, which very quickly begins to meander into predictable and downtempo territory. I liked “Dead Flowers,” sort of, but I think that’s just because of The Big Lebowski, but that’s the only other standout to me. It’s not like everything else is bad (although I didn’t pay enough attention to the lyrics of the rest to really say that with confidence), but it’s just pretty fine Stones fair. I can’t wish for Mick Jagger to not be an evil ass freak, but I can wish for Keith Richards to go as hard as side one on every song, and unfortunately, he didn’t do much for me in that department. 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities) | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

Easy to listen to, no standout tracks for me

Seemed a bit generic in retrospective, but probably inventive for its time.

Rolling Stones Records CUN 59100 (UK 1979 reissue) vinyl rip: "Brown Sugar" would be banned IMMEDIATELY from radio in this day and age. Great music, shitty lyrics. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is an all-time banger. "Sister Morphine" is the best of side 2.

The Stones were frankly before my time but are such a classic band in the realm of rock 'n roll. Fans of the Stones would love this album as it's in their prime. The time of American "gritty" R'n'R. Brown Sugar and Bitch are my favs here.

Not their best album. I can only say that Brown sugar and Wild Horses are the most memorable songs out of this album because I previously listened to them on a compilation. The rest of the songs are ok but most of them I don't remember much of.

A great classic rock album. Mick Jagger possesses a lot of upbeat energy. I was half-asleep on my bed and yet still had fun during the entire listen

Honestly, didn’t think I fucked with them like that but it was a good listen. Still not a fav but wild horses is a classssssic

I am not a very knowledgeable music listener, yet! But, I find this album pretty rooted to its american origins with the mixes of country there are to it. That mix makes it a pretty interesting album to hear. Although I am not a american. For this reason, I can’t really connect with its messages and the singer’s voice can just irritate me.

I don't think I'll ever understand the hype for The Stones. They are perfectly fine rock, no real dud songs, a few really good ones, but the rest are just decidedly average. 3.5* rounded down the 3*

I didn't enjoy it maybe as much as I normally do, not sure why. Still a solid album.

Alright I guess

It's alright and somewhat catchy, but it didn't do a ton for me. Very middle of the road.

A pretty neat album, very dad-rock hah! Dumb it down to my lack of musical knowledge, but I had initially felt that all of the songs sounded too similar to find any stand-outs. But Bitch, Sister Morphine, Wild Horses and Brown Sugar (the kazoo solo?) stood out to me the most and have added to my liked songs. I think Sway would be a great song to randomly play on a drive home following a tiring day. Moonlight Mile was a beautiful close. Cool album, I’m sure it revolutionised and inspired more than I’m aware of.

Love wild horses, the rest was fine

I recognize the Stones' impact on music, especially rock, but I've just never been able to get into them. That said, this whole album feels like a late summer afternoon spent hanging out with friends out in the country.

Not very interesting to me.

Nothing special

Solid. Haven’t heard most of these tracks before. Casey likes the tunes, good for chilling outside. Good for hanging out. Solid 3

Good tunes!

Never really got the Stones though this one is good

Nice

Easy listening, but some of the songs bring me out of the moment.

Muito bom, gostei de finalmente ter ouvido eles, meu preferido é wild horses

I'm not a big Stones fan, but I can appreciate how raw and rare their sound is. Every album sounds like they're just hanging out and jamming out a tune. There are a few classic tracks here and it's fun to hear the interplay between the guitars, but nothing else jumps out. Plus, Brown Sugar is just wrong in every way, right? This is definitely no Exile ...

I liked wild horses

Не в моем вкусе. Классика рока, хороший, приятный уху, но мне не зашло.

Pleasant, but nothing special

This was one of my grandads fav albums, so I have nostalgia for it from him playing it. But actually listening through it I find it just alright and not mind-blowing. Don't get me wrong, it's lively and fun with a good up-tempo beat throughout the album. But I definitely prefer the singles over the whole album. 'Brown Sugar' is always going to be one of those so gs that is tied to good memories for me, but this album will stick with me less so. Fav Track: Brown Sugar

Probably the Stones' peak IMO. It's good but I'm just not really too much of a fan

“Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton field. Sold in a market down in New Orleans.” What the fuck is that? Rolling Stones. First two lines to Brown Sugar... I bet you’ve heard that song 500 times, but you never knew, right? I can't help but hear the Dandy Warhols "Bohemian Like You" in here. I liked this more than expected. "Dead Flowers" & "Moonlight Mile" were standouts.

Não sou dos maiores fãs dos Stones, porém gostei deste aqui. Não está no meu ranking de discos deles que eu mais gostos, ao pé de Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet ou Exile e Tattoo you, mas diria que é uma boa porta de entrada para quem quer conhecer uma banda lendária como são os Rolling Stones

The Stones are a classic example to me of “lots of great songs but no great albums” This is my favorite album of theirs, but still doesn’t fully land for me.

This was decent. Nothing really stands out to me, but I didn't mind it.

It's alr

First Rolling Stones album. Pretty fire sound. Definitely got some standouts but no bad songs. Peak dad rock.

It really interprets the era of rock and roll quite well. While not as high energy as other bands it really shows how the influence of drugs shaped the era.

After the past few days this was a breath of fresh air. It was a straight forward rock and roll album. I've never been the biggest Stones fan but this was enjoyable.

Rolling stonessssss

I'm writing this 2 weeks later, but this album wasn't very memorable to me. Rock and bluesy, I don't love Mick Jagger's vocal style.

Fine I guess

better than the last one.

When I find myself liking a Rolling Stones song, it is likely off of this album

I feel ambivalent towards this, at times it is breath taking and I see light, like on Wild Horses (a classic that is an absolute gem) and Moonlight Mile a song I absolutely love upon discovery here. But I also think there is very little subtlety here, it's drugs drugs drugs and bitches and I'm bored. The sound of it is fun, but is it as novel and experimental ? I ain't sure. I respect it, but I don't think it's deserving of all the flowers we throw at it as an album.

Not a huge fan of the Stones, but I did enjoy this album. Favourite track: Dead Flowers

6/10… classic rock / british blues / *1971

It’s got the hits. Nice well rounded album. Fairly straightforward. 3.5/5.0

One of my least favorite Stones songs (Wild Horses, featuring Mick's annoying phony drawl) followed by one of my favorites, Can't You Hear Me Knockin', featuring one of the best guitar riffs in all rock music, along with the incredibly satisfying jazz breakdown/jam session at the end. Lots of drugs on this one, and Brown Sugar is simply disgusting - gotta try to ignore the lyrics. You Gotta Move is great, as is Bitch, but the Stones get kind of lazy now and then when they lie down in a druggy haze and toss off some country or blues tropes. It's really pretty sloppy, but the guitars are always great, as is the superb Charlie Watts.

It's just not my favorite, but it was nice to hear a few new Rolling Stones songs. Bop-wise, it started off strong and then died off a bit. Content-wise, it was pretty gross the whole way through.

Album entretenido, relajante y variado.

Ok album but that’s all. A hit straight down the middle. 3/5

Nothing remarkable

rolling country

еее письки рок

When this album came out the bassist Bill Wyman was 35, his future wife (and step granddaughter....) wasn't yet 1. Anyway album wise, the only song I really already knew was Wild Horses. Some dodgy lyrics and I hate the cover, hate that it originally had a working zip even more. Musically I liked it but other than Wild Horses nothing really stood out to me. Favourite song: Wild Horses Least: Brown Sugar

My favorite Goo Goo Dolls song is their cover of "Bitch" with someone else singing.

kinda mid ngl

The Rolling Stones are fine but this list has confirmed for me that they don't deserve half the plaudits. It's bluesy American rock, like the other albums we've had. Enjoyed this a touch more than some previous albums looking at my other reviews, it was nice enough. This many albums on this list is ridiculous though, they haven't really developed much and I've learned nothing. 2.5.

We certainly have a lot of Stones albums on this list. Not sure they all need including - Let It Bleed is good, and the rest are absolutely passable. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are the standouts. A funny group, they seem to change their sound very frequently, and I don't know how I feel about that. Slap bang middle, a classic album 500/1001.

So, let's get this out of the way first- Brown Sugar is perhaps one of the worst aging songs of all time. The tune sounds so good and the lyrics are... so bad. Thankfully the rest of the album does not have this problem, I find this having the highest rating of all Rolling Stones on the site interesting because it is like, my 3rd or 4th favorite album. The pure songwriting on display here still works so well and the Rolling Stones are a powerhouse of tunes and singing alike, but the entire thing is a touch too slow for me. It's like wading through molasses, half of this album feels like waking up after a bad hangover. The other half however has songs like "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" which carries the energy that make Rolling Stones so great. As subjective as it may be, I just think I prefer the more exciting Rolling Stones to the slower, introspective side.

The definitive Stones.

I never knew "Brown Sugar" was a creepy song with racist overtones until I read a comic book given to me in Harvard Square by one of those Spartacist League people who was always handing stuff out. So much ambivalence about the Stones. I understand they are great, and despite never owning any of their albums, I certainly know and like many, many of their songs. And yet sometimes I wish I could pinch Mick Jagger really hard to get him to stop sounding so douchey. You can hear the smirk in his singing, somehow. I don't really know how to rate this record. I don't have a strong emotional resonance with any of these songs, and I think if I did, I would rate it higher. It feels wrong to give it a 3, and yet that's where I'm ending up. I don't think I would listen to this again, so I guess that says it all.

7/10 - Liked it more and more on every listen. I think the Spotify remastered version is mixed poorly? Everything just sounds a bit far away and muffled. This could easily be liked more if I heard a better version of it Fav Tracks: Brown Sugar, Bitch, Wild Horses Heard before? ---–- ❌ Saved a Song? ----- ✅ Saved Album? --–-- ✅ Will Listen Again? -- ✅ Album Cover -------We want TIGHTER mic

i was gonna make a snide comment along the lines of "i bet this would go hard if i was a 45 old man" but i actually kinda liked it.... maybe im the 45 year old man fave track: you gotta move

Not too bad, easy listen. 3/5

Fiquei animado que ia ser Rolling Stones, sempre quis conhecer mais. A primeira música eu já conhecia e curto bastante, então aumentou mais ainda o hype pro álbum. Aí fui ouvindo, fui ouvindo.... Chatiiinho. Não sabia que Rolling Stones tinha mais música calminha do que rock rock mesmo. Mas ao menos nesse álbum é assim, tudo musiquinha mooorna, meio sem graaça. Tirando a primeira gostei mais de uma só, de resto achei palhinha. E não que ser calma seja um problema, mas são meio genéricas. Eu esperava muuuuito mais.. Fiquei muito em dúvida entre 2 e 3, mas 2 seria se fosse ruinzinho, e não é ruim, só não é bom também kkkkk vai 3 mesmo.

For most people, this is the Rolling Stones at their absolute peak. For me, this is their third straight album sounding exactly the same. When Sticky Fingers came up this morning, my first thought was "I could have sworn I got this one already". In reality, I had already gotten Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed, but there's not really much difference, now is there? P.S. I don't care what people say, "Wild Horses" will always be Gram Parsons' song to me!

Can't go wrong with this album, but also it's pretty vanilla dad rock.

Good album. 4.0 stars. One of their better ones alongside Exile On Main Street. You have a few phenomenal tracks like Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking with its snazzy jazzy extra long jazz snazz coda. These tracks are so good that the rest of the album feels a bit snoozy and stale in comparison. Not too catchy or exciting. Too much snoozy plain folk blues country smush. Dead Flowers? Chuck ‘em out. Dont leave ‘em on the album. Bitch? Bit rude. No way to talk to a bitch. Ultimately could have done with a bit more Brown Sugar. I have Slippy Fingers so I’ve actually given this album 3 stars by mistake.

Another mid ass release from this overrated band. People be rating an album just by how popular it is smh Like every other classic Rolling Stones album , 2 good songs and a shit load of filler. Exept this one has 3 good song omg my favorite album of theirs.

Understandably popular with interesting instrumentals and vocal performances, suffers from not being personally interesting

Primera vez escuchando un album completo de los Stones, desafio por completo la idea que tenia sobre su musica

When I listen to full Stones albums, I am often surprised again by the frequent appearance of unabashedly country tracks ("Dead Flowers" and "Wild Horses" here). I didn't care for "Wild Horses" when I was a kid, but now it just seems weirdly comforting. (I think "Dead Flowers" is the better song, though.) I really enjoy "Can You Hear Me Knockin'" and "Sister Morphine," too.

I knew Brown Sugar & Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. I also own and like Wild Horses. It was fine.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this album as much as I did! Rocking guitars and bluesy vibes (they have a relatively milder sound than I was expecting from such a famous rock band) mixed in with a darker sensual undercurrent. The Rolling Stones is another one of those canonised bands that I didn't have much interest digging into. I figured they're revered for good reason, but their audience of middle-aged dads is wayyy outta my ballpark. In my opinion some of the lyrics fall flat in their excessiveness and haven't aged the best. Sexual provocativeness is not the issue here, just the strange execution e.g., "Brown Sugar", which I'm not sure is supposed to be radical commentary or unintentional fetishisation that's trying to come off romantic. If it's the former, I don't think they pulled it off well or are the most appropriate people to deliver the message thoughtfully. This tackiness also extends to the album cover itself. I felt compelled to dock a point as a result, but I truly did like this one!

O k a y... 3.5

Was never sure about this album, prefer the earlier two and Exile is exceptional. Wild Horses was the only highlight

Knew brown sugar and recognised wild horses. Fine listening 3

Never realised Wild horses was The Rolling Stones! Some serious country rock and roll vibes. Is this what they always sound like? No idea! I no doubt will find out when their next ones pops up.

Another one of those classic albums/artists that when I listen to it, actually sounds quite different to my expectations. there was a section that was weirdly country towards the end, and I thought the whole thing was fine to listen to but less rocky for The Rock Band

Aaaaiiighttt

Okey i guess, mid

Este también es un clásico y está bastante interesante para la época, pero tampoco he conectado demasiado.
