Initial Thoughts: Already knew of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" Straight off the bat, "Gimme Shelter" is such a good opening; when I think of a 1969 music album (especially Rock), this is the type of song that hits at the beginning!!! Probably several movies that feature this song. 8.8/10 "Love in Vain" - Started a bit slow for me but once the simple drum beat came in, then it started to grow on me. Gives me, "Final Slow Dance Before Saying Goodybe" type of song. Bittersweetish. Favorite part is, every ".... in/to the Station" line starts; great tone, almost sounds like a quasi-vibrato. 7.2/10 "Country Honk" - Was not expecting actual country lol. Fiddler carrying as usual for this type of country / Honky-Tonk inspired music. Catchy hook. Might have to listen to again as I have to be in the mood for country; definitely better than that country pop shit that I sometimes indulge in. 7/10 "Live With Me" - Alright to me, nothing special. Like the guitar and brass (sax?) instrumental. Didn't really care much for the lyrics. I feel as if there are better rock songs on this album. 5.8/10 "Let It Bleed" - Think I've heard this song prior to listening to the album. Cream on me? Excuse me? Again, the instrumental is stellar and vocally very attractive. Not sure if this is one I have on repeat. oh wait he straight up says c*m on me? Aight. I feel as if you're not a TRS fan, you wouldn't be able to fully comprehend this song... so ik I'll probably make those fans upset but this is after one listen. Sonically good, lyrically questionable for me (I'll have to do a deep dive to see if there's a deeper meaning). 6.5/10 "Midnight Rambler" - Like the swing on this one. Like the lyrics and storytelling---is this about a murderer or something? As someone who doesn't listen to much blues, it is a pleasure to hear it every once in a while. Probably one of my favorites. Longer, but I like the slowdown at ~5 mins. 8.2/10 "You Got the Silver" - Meh, I was zoning in and out of this one when listening but it picks up for me in the last minute. Who hurt bro though? 7/10 "Monkey Man" - Idk what it is, but the first 3 lines really feel appropriate for Mick Jagger to sing. Keep in mind, idk TRS or Mick that well at all, but he really makes this song instantly better. Probably intentional, but I love how he straight up sounds like a monkey at the end. 8.7/10 "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Classic for me, like many others, this is probably one of the first TRS songs you hear. I always had a friend quoting the chorus so it's replayability is high. Gotta be a Top 100 Rock Song of All TIme right? 9.2/10
