Let It Bleed

It is so awesome that they just did a country album. The guitar is always so good on stones songs. This album honestly drags a bit but it gets the first 3 starts for gimme shelter alone

Some stone cold bangers on here. Will surely go down in history. Lots of different American culture performed with aplomb by some of Britain's finest

Stones går lenger enn Beatles i deres forsøk på å «get back». De stripper ikke bare ned låtene, de tar strømmen også. De var godt i gang med det på Beggar’s Banquet, så kanskje med disse to albumene har vi et lite inntrykk av hvordan et White Album kunne hørtes ut delt i to enkle.

Stones har noen av sin sterkeste låter på Let it Bleed. «Gimme Shelter» og «You Can’t Always Get What You Want» løfter plata opp, og det trenger den egentlig. Stones som countryband peaka med «Wild Horses» (som ryktes å være skrevet av Gram Parsons??), mens de andre forsøkene gjerne låter litt parodiske med Mick Jagger sin tøyse-Texas for å toppe det hele. Du skal være bra kontrær for å foretrekke «Country Honk» over «Honky Tonk Women». «Live With Me» funket faktisk bedre live i Shine A Light-filmen med Christina Aguilera som gjest. Heldigvis er også «Midnight Rambler» og «Monkey Man» med på plata, ellers hadde åpningssporet og avslutningssporet måttet løfte tungt.

Un somnífero

Creía que sería de sus primeros álbumes porque lo escuchaba distinto, no están tan presentes esas guitarras de rock. Pero leo que no. Interesante mezcla de géneros, que incluye el country, bules y hasta gospel.

Starts well and ends well. The middle hmmm a bit blah

My body is a machine that turns Rolling Stones albums into 2-star ratings.

While I wouldn't say that it's meritless to listen several albums by one of the most influential bands of all time, the generator has shown me that I straight up do not like them. I will always respect their unintentional consistency in putting out one godly song per album though; the closer on this one is a genuinely incredible song that does not sound like *anything* that comes before it.

Standouts: Gimme Shelter (the twisty percussion part) • You Can't Always Get What You Want

Mi papá es fanático de los rollings, entonces este álbum es para mí como un shot de nostalgia de todas esas canciones que escuchaba en mi infancia por su influencia.
No diría que es el álbum perfecto pero tiene unos temazos que me encantan.

Manje liči na Ocean Colour Scene pa mi se manje sviđa logično. Nisu mi ni hitovi nešto legli. A ove lošije pjesme pogotovo.

What an epic track to start off the album. Fantastic record. I’ve been meaning to listen to all of The Rolling Stone’s discography. They’ve created so many masterpieces, it’s easy to see why they’re considered amongst the greatest.

That album is so fantastically bookended with Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want. Fantastic rock album.

True rock and roll. Great album cover.

My Fifth Stones album and the first one to get the full five stars.

This was a brilliant album. Where the others I’ve had have taken time to get into, this had me hooked from start to finish.

Top Track - Gimmie Shelter

Never got into this. You Can't Always Get What You Want is a great song, but other than that, nothing was that good. Still solid album overall, because The Rolling Stones are a good band. Can't ever be too bad.

five stars for gimme shelter and ycagwyw alone

A couple certified bangers but not my favorite as an album

there are some weak tracks, but the stones are legit

I'm wondering The Rolling Stones get so many comparisons to The Beatles. As someone who knows the latter but not the former, I expected something at least similar in sound to an early Beatles record. No, what I got was blues rock and typical early country. I am unfortunately not a fan.

It's not just that my expectations weren't met, it's also that I am not a fan of this genre in the first place. I don't like the styling of the songs, I don't like Mick Jagger's voice...it's not necessarily anything reprehensible, and I understand its inclusion on the list, but this is just so totally not my thing. Sorry y'all.

3.5/5. Raising to 4.

There's a point in the bridge of "Gimmie Shelter" where Merry Clayton is absolutely cooking and her voice cracks and you hear Mick let out a "whoo" in the background like you know he's just locked in to the intensity. One of the great moments in rock history... Seriously, listen to it isolated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChONufP0FEs).

The rest is still high quality, but doesnt meet that absolute high, and I say this with the timeless "You Can't Always Get What You Want" being on this album too.
