Sympathy for the Devil is another killer Stones opener. The guitar solo sounds amazing. No Expectations slows things back down and is quiet and beautiful. Dear Doctor then goes full-on acoustic country. I prefer the short Parachute Woman, now firmly in blues territory. Jigsaw Puzzle is a strong finish to the first side, Dylan-esque with a unique Mellotron sound effect throughout. Street Fighting Man marries Indian instrumentation with a hard rock sound. Prodigal Son lets us catch our breath before Stray Cat Blues hits with a big bassline and piano groove. Definitely the hardest rocking track on the album and some of the best guitar parts (plus questionable lyrics). If Factory Girl is side two's Dear Doctor, I prefer it, with more varied instruments and a folk atmosphere. Salt of the Earth is a slow burn that turns into a gospel-inspired anthem. I'm left wanting more.
