Take It From The Man

I wish I enjoyed Rolling Stones records as much as I enjoy the mid-90’s BJM records - which are pretty clearly and heavily indebted to the Stones, but, imo, end up being much more than mere facsimiles of the Rolling Stones. Take It From the Man is a great garage/psych record. I also would recommend “Their Satanic Majesties Second Request” (also from 1996), if this one piqued your interest.

Yeah, Anton Newcombe has always been a dick, but this record (just like two or three other LPs within BJM's long discography) is iconic enough to justify its presence in a list such as this one. I unfortunately don't have the time to elaborate today, but "take it from the man": this one's most probably a keeper. 4/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums.. 9/10 for more general purposes (5 + 4) ---- Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ----- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 54 (including this one) Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 72 Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 129 --- Émile. Ça y est, j'ai *enfin* répondu (en deux temps). Tu trouveras ça sous les reviews des disques de Blackalicious et Alexisonfire au dessus.

I too love The Rolling Stones

90’s inspired stones music yes please.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Monkey puzzle

Pleasant but not my cup of tea for more than that

What if 90s rock album sounds a bit like late 60s rock album?

We all obviously know this is a Stones album but it's still interesting and worth a listen. Though it's about 20 minutes too long.

Too much like the Stones for me and I don't like the Stones.

Finns en å annan bra låt.

Garage rock, psychedelic rock. Ni fu ni fa.

Wow so insensitive man, not cool

Eh. Mopey, maundering, Brit-influenced pop with a front man overly enamored of his own (mostly self-inflicted) suffering. I also dislike the Dandy Warhols, so. At its core exceedingly average.

The vocals were often overpowered by the volume of the music and it was very difficult to understand the lyrics. Overall this was decent a solid 3.

I already knew "Methodrone (1995)" and "...And This Is Our Music (2003)" from this band and I was not surprised that this album was also not my cup of tea. Most of the songs are in an early Rolling Stones style (psychedelic and garage rock). This would not be a problem if the songs were really outstanding or if the band was from the same period. Now they are just an echo fading out of another band that once was great.

Not quite sure why you’d want to impersonate one of the greatest bands and fall short of their quality. This band wants to be British so bad. From the album cover to the singing accent it’s all kind of sad. I love the stones but listening to this was weird. I don’t know maybe I’m missing something. 5.5/10

Firstly that is a seriously awful cover. I had to check it was real. Secondly it's like dome kind of sixties pastiche. We'll done but why...
