Þeirra besta plata. Ekki mikið pretentiousness á ferðinni. Bara hrár veruleikinn. Merry Clayton bjargar þeim fyrir mér.
I really enjoyed this. It's got some of their best songs on it. I wasn't sure about the monkey man one, and I've never been convinced by the choir bit at the start of You Can't Always Get What You Want, but yeah, great album.
On Gimme Shelter Merry Clayton is by far the star. And Keith Richard’s guitars are the star for the rest of the show. Jaggers vocals are hokey and clownish on Country Honk, and I know it’s intentional, but it’s silly and unnecessary. The rest of the album makes up for that in a big way though. I’m not a Stones fan, but this record is undeniably pretty fantastic.
This is hard to rate. "Gimme Shelter" and "Get What you Want" are so a part of my life I don't even know when i first heard them. They're in movies, tv, and on the radio. The rest of the album was fine but with out those two songs, I don't think this album would be on the list.
A good album by one of the originals. Some classics on this one.
Olipahan mukava levy. Tullut aika vähän perehdyttyä rollareiden musaan ja tämä oli kyllä viihdyttävä kokonaisuus. Gimme Shelter ja YCAGWYW ihan helmiä.
Parit viiden tähden biisit eikä huonoja ollut ollenkaan. Rollarit…
4.5
It's like a well matured album I guess. A rewarding listen. I've mentioned my parents on all Rolling Stones reviews so far so here's another mention. Fave: hard to pick one but I did particularly enjoy You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Classic gospel inspired late Rolling Stones end of the 60s blues rock
I would definitely be Beatles rather than Stones - this hasn't changed that.
I think my favourite stones so far. A low four, still not lighting my world on fire but definitely enjoyable and a couple of songs that will still sound good a hundred years from now.
Gimme Shelter is a perfect opening track, and You Can't Always Get What You Want is a perfect closing track. Everything else in the middle is really solid but just kind of falls by the wayside in comparison Can I give an album a 5/5 based off just two songs? I'm incredibly tempted but I think a 4 is more accurate for the entire album experience. They're two very very good songs though
Obviously familiar with the Rolling Stones, but I've never listened to a whole album of theirs before. 1. Gimme Shelter - Already had this saved. Amazing. 10/10 2. Love In Vain - Nice and blues-y. Like it a lot. Saved. 8/10. 3. Country Honk - Well-constructed country song. Just not really my style. 7/10 4. Live With Me - Liked it, but nothing special. 6/10 5. Let It Bleed - Enjoyable rock song. Saved. 7.5/10. 6. Midnight Rambler - Fun song, didn't love it. 7/10 7. You Got The Silver - Weakest song so far. 5/10 8. Monkey Man - Nice tune. Loved the guitars. 7/10 9. You Can't Always Get What You Want - Obviously an iconic song. I really dislike the choir at the beginning, but the rest is obviously great. 9/10 Overall my initial instinct is to rate it 4/5. Solid album.
Tremendo. Gimme Shelter es una de mis favoritas y Can't Always Get What you Want es épica
4.6 - Part of an incredible run of albums around '67-72. Two songs have justifiably become part of the rock canon ("Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get..."). I actually prefer "Country Honk" to "Honky Tonk Women." Jagger's unbridled enthusiasm is often magnetic but can sometimes end up sounding goofy. I hear that goofiness on "Love in Vain" and "Let it Bleed" - the weaker tracks on the album -though they are fine blues recordings. "Midnight Rambler" meanders into an interesting extended breakdown in the middle. "Monkey Man" is another deeper cut worth revisiting - some gorgeous piano arpeggiation that melds with some terrific guitar work. Overall, very full and satisfying.
Nice
really great album, some of the hits but also some songs i had never heard and thought were really great.
Really like this, I enjoy the way country influence creeps in. Mick Jagger's singing is sometimes really distracting, but the majority of the time it works. I was driving along the Mississippi listening to this, and it was perfect for the drive and the scenery.
It's iconic, of course. Unfortunately the rest of the song don't hit the emotional highs of the first and last track. I feel like everyone has said anything that needs to be said here, but I could take or leave half the album in a personal listening session. Still, when it rocks it rocks hard.
Con los Stones me sucede que conozco muchas rolas sueltas pero no los discos y este no era la excepción. Muy buena y de mis favoritas la de "You Can't Always Get" y de hecho todo el disco es un ejemplo muy bueno de un blues contryson muy agradable. Mi único pero es que, qué falta les hacía un productor que les dijera "buena rola, ahora hazla que dure 2/3 de lo que tienes".
Great album, really enjoyed
Great album.
Not my favorite stones album but four stars just the same. Not wildly creative writing but still absolute, all time classics that you can hear over and over without getting bored with them. Was never a fan till I saw them live. Two of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
Classic.
Good music
Brilliant - found a couple of new songs I hadn’t heard before but will definitely listen to again.
Bloody good
Melhor música: Gimme Shelter
Muito Bom.
Good
The Stones best album of the 60’s
okay this shit in the late 60s had to fucking hit. fucking banger of an album
An absolute amazing Rolling Stones album that has some of their best songs on. "Midnight Rambler" is my favourite Stones song, and classics like "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Monkey Man," "Gimme Shelter," make this album a pure feast for the ears. An album well worth a listen on headphones as well, there is just so much happening. Only 4* from me though, because as an album, there are songs I already started skipping on second listen, like "Love In Vain" and are not up to the high standard of some of the previous mentioned songs.
Rock blues
Very bluesy, nice overall. Can't always get what you want is a banger
Here it is: An album that 100% belongs on this list, but that I don't particularly adore. It's a very, very good album, highlighting the versatility (and, yes, utter weirdness) of the Stones, but I have to take one star off for the fact that Gimme Shelter--my fave track--s a total monster of a song, and everything after that feels like a shadow of that greatness. Don't get me wrong. Every track is worth a listen. Is the entire album worth a listen? Hell yeah. Would I say that any track on here is nearly as good as Gimme Shelter? No. I have a special love for this song because of the strange story behind it: a pregnant lady was pulled out of bed in the middle of the night, still in her curlers, to record the background vocals for this track. No wonder she sounds so damn intense.
Listen. It has the biggest hits, and my personal fav, "Country Honk". I may not be a Stones fan, I'm also not an idiot.
Volim ih, ali mi ovo nije njihov najbolji. Al su nastale legendarne pisme kao let it bleed i you can't always get what you want
Dosta dobro, jako kul vajb, najbolji instrumentali dosad!! Love in vain zvuci ko tamburica i bas mi se svida (??)
8/10
Absolutely iconic album with some of the most memorable songs ever written. It’s impact is seen everywhere and riffs will ring out until the end of time itself.
Incredible beginning and ending tracks to to a great album overall. A couple of tracks I could do without but, but even those are good. Overall a classic album
The air of dread and menace captured on Gimmee Shelter is spine tinglingly atmospheric and the album closer You Can’t Always Get What You Want is a brilliant epic record to float away on. Has their ever been a more momentous album opener/closer? In between, some brilliant musicians play some catchy, engaging tunes of music they enjoy.
Legendarisch album met zoveel hits, echt de pinnacle van rock&roll
Easy to listen too, nothing too complicated and good fun. Liked the American roots influences......
This is the third Rolling Stones album we got and probably the best one. Their blend of blues and classic hard rock just works out really well on this one. As always, the difference between their best and worst songs is huge. You Can't Always Get What You Want is fantastic. All of the rest of the album is in a lower league, but still absolutely decent.
I liked it a lot. "Gimme Shelter" is one of my RS favorites. Not a perfect album, but damn near.
i will preface this by stating that, from a young age, i never really cared for the stones. i was a beatles kid all the way - they were just _nice_, y'know? whereas mick & co just kinda seemed kinda more seedy, which i didn't so much care for back then. couple decades later, i feel like i've heard everything they have to say on various job sites, and i don't ever need to hear them again. but then somewhere in between, i heard a couple of covers of their work, and i thought i should try harder to appreciate them. i had...some success, but not a ton. i don't think i'll ever be their biggest fan, is what i'm saying. all that on board, here's the thing: shelter is a classic for a reason; can't always get? same. let it bleed - amazing. and to have done it all in '69? huge. the love i don't have for them isn't their fault, is what i'm saying - i just happened to have been born in a place & time where they were just kinda...there.
Didn't realize the country cover on here.
A good listen. Older and wiser, the "contrivances" (i.e. this didn't emerge whole from a jam session) are clearer (actually, would it be fair to say the the craft, as opposed to a natural predisposition for aesthetics, is more obvious now?) but still a jolly good listen
A titan of an album from start to finish, and quite literally from the first song to the last. Highly recommend.
Fantastic rock/blues album. A lot more easier to digest for the casual listener compared to some of their other records. Fav tracks: Gimmie Shelter, Let It Bleed, You Can't Always Get What You Want
What I noticed about this LP, similar to the last 1001 offering, Aftermath, is that the hits sound very different than the rest of the album. “Gimme Shelter” is maybe my favorite Stones song (especially the vocals of Merry Clayton) but they jump to a twangy country blues vibe immediately afterward and stay there until the last song on the album when they bring in the London Bach Choir (!) If you were to compare this to other albums from around the same time by The Who, Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, their hit songs at least resembled the rest of the album. So, the Stones were either very diverse or inconsistent. Anyway, there are a handful of stellar tracks, the session musicians are great (Brian Jones contributions are chuckle-worthy) & I’m rounding up for the electric version of Honky Tonk that never made to the LP.
The two bookends on this album are arguably the Stones' best songs ever so 'nuff said about them. Then there's a few solid Tier 2 songs on the album, Monkey Man, Let it Bleed and Midnight Rambler which are pretty damned good. Unfortunately the rest of the album is essentially filler. Also I'm not sure how I feel about some blokes from London appropriating Blues that was originally done by Blacks in the American south. I have mixed feelings about this as they certainly gave this genre a huge worldwide audience, but they also sold a shit-ton more records than the OGs. Oh well, I guess that's show biz. I think overall this is a 3.5 star album but the sheer weight of the book-ends elevates this to a 4.
An album that cements The Rolling Stones in rock history. Favorites: Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, You Can't Always Get What You Want
Up there with the best Stones offering. Two iconic tracks (the opener a contender for their finest moment?) and lots of great bluesy stuff.
High school AER remembers checking Let it Bleed out from the public library (to burn onto CDR) and loving every song. Looking back, I probably played Gimme Shelter, skipped all the way to Monkey Man and YCAGWYW, then put on some DMB. The middle tracks are still solid. Bluesy boozy Jagger/Richards. Midnight Rambler drags it's own carcass into a fun jam. There's just so much magic in the bookend tracks that the middle feels a bit normal. Imagine a Stones vending machine and for $1.50 it'll drop You Got the Silver down the chute. Unwarranted hateraide aside, it's still an all time classic "essential" 60s rock record that we all must listen to before we die, or before Mick and Keith are turned into holograms. A-
I think they did themselves a disservice by leading with Gimme Shelter, it’s such a banger, a 6 in the world of 5s, the sound is so big. But after that they seem to revert back to the stripped down blues and Appalachia vibes that are exemplified by in Exile on Main Street. The whole middle chunk of this album just feels like a let down compared to the first song. Not bad, lots of good white blues. I think the big stones fans prefer the stripped down raw things they do, but I prefer the more polished songs with the bigger sound. The last two songs almost reach the Gimme Shelter heights again, in my mind they should’ve transitioned from these and finished with shelter—perhaps this was an A-Side/B-Side thing that I’m unaware of. Good album, but only a 4.
Bold move thrusting at max force erection right outta the gate. You gotta tease 'em a bit before obliterating
Didn't really like Monkey Man
Fun album. Part of a great run in the 70s. 70s Stones s by far my favorite Stones.
great album - gimmie shelter obviously the star (and one of the all time great songs to lead off an album). the rest of the album is just okay by me, but still a solid stones album.
Yes, was good
Two of the finest tracks of all time, plus some others that are a little less memorable.
Esta medio trabado en medio campo, pero no deja de ser alineación legendaria.
inches rolones trae ese disco.
Muy buenas canciones, melodías, acompañamientos y orquestación. Como siempre de esta gente, un muy buen disco
I don't have any disdain for The Rolling Stones, like some people, ahem. I will even venture to say that I like them. Will I spend hundreds of dollars to go to one of their shows? Probably not. I think this album shows the breadth of their music - some songs are clearly rock, others are more jazz, some are acoustic and others a bit country/honky tonk. Their impact to the music that came after them is far reaching. And yes, the whole druggie rockstar thing is played out now. Many will try to emulate their music and their lifestyle and few will be successful.
Starts nicely with an absolute banger. Lots of bluesy stuff that doesn't jump out but makes for some chill listening. 3.5 for me
Their bestest album!
its really really good, but I know it too well now and can't enjoy it as much!
I see why this is a classic. First RS listened to in it’s entirety. Very bluesy which is what I’ve heard before, as to Beatles being more pop than rock. Honky Tonk woman first draft?
Just a solid rock album. Elements of country and blues interspersed throughout. More than a little horn. Favorite tracks: "Country Honk", "Live With Me", "Midnight Rambler"
I mean - an album that STARTS with Gimme Shelter and ENDS with You Can't Always Get What You Want? I'm not the world's biggest Stones fan, but this is undeniably just a masterpiece of chewy hard-driving rock.
Niet echt een uitzonderlijk album, maar wel oké
one of the best from the stones. this was in the midst of their great time. I lie the drunken swaggering bar band sounds.
It's one of the core Stones albums, some absolute classics on here. What more is there to say? Might not be *my* first choice for entry-level Stones, but if you pick it, I can't say you picked wrongly per se.
Wow I didn't know they made a more country / honkey tonk version of Honkey Tonk Women. I dig it. Probably my favorite collection of Rolling Stones songs? 4
Very solid album, featuring some great hits. There was some great music in the late 60s and this is one of the best albums
Some classic tracks, and the others are good. Never really listened to a whole rolling stones album before
Great
good, and their drummer has just died this week. RIP
Great stuff! So many classic here. Arguably the best Stones song ever in Gimme Shelter
Another frenetic and rugged album , featuring Gimme Shelter, a quintessential jam that featured post-psychedelic guitar counterpoint. (8/10) Favourite Songs: Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Great album.
Really enjoyable for the youthful energy, swagger and playfulness. You can feel the enjoyment in the band playing together. Ambitious, provocative, shocking and vigorous, but doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Don't like the mix on the vocals on the first few tracks, especially Gimme Shelter - it sounds like Mick Jagger is at the far side of the room.
About what I expected. Some good ones I hadn't heard before
Good. It's the Stones, innit
Very nice album. A good mix between classic rock and maybe even country.
Liked it generally. Rolling Stones is pretty hit or miss with me. They have some stand out songs but a lot of their stuff sounds the same to me.
A classic album that shows The Rolling Stones passion & American blues & country influences. There is a disconnect that comes from Mick's vocals & the twanginess of the music, making it feel like Mick is flat or out of time. Overall it is a fine album, but the vocals on the more country/blues songs could have been cleaner.
Solid album. Gimme shelter obviously one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time. Midnight rambler another fav
Has some good songs on there a few weak songs just by the first listen entirely but overall enjoyable
Two classic songs, “Gimme Shelter” & “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Great blues and gospel feels
Pretty solid album from start to finish. I liked most of the songs. I was pleasantly surprised as I'm not much of a Rolling Stones fan.
This has to be one of the best albums to exist, the lyrics are so dark and menacing with the insturmental being upbeat, almost as a distraction. The whole album though has a very real, dark vibe from it.
Gimme Shelter: amazing Love In Vain: very good Country Hook: average Live with me: excellent Let It Bleed: very good Midnight Rambler: good You got the silver: good Monkey man: very good You can’t always get what you want: excellent 7.5/10
Solid album. A bit of a country feel.
A feel-good, groovy listen. Not really much into classic rock but this was good.
Very very good.
Three standout tracks, some mediocre and a couple of fillers. Good album
Gimme shelter best track, also you can’t always get what you want
Good album, definitely doesn't sound like 1969. Gimme Shelter is top 10 tracks of all time. However, the album peaks with track 1 and never hits that height again.
Great album. Some real stand out tracks such as You Can't Always Get What You Want and Monkey Man. Has a very Cream band sound to it.
Gimme Shelter has to be one of the best opening tracks of all time. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is a great closer. I just don’t think that most of the songs are as good as the hits. Monkey Man and Live With Me are also great tracks but I don’t like them quite as much as the opener or closer. It’s a great album but it has a few songs that don’t do much for me. Favorite songs: Gimme Shelter, Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want Light 8/10
Classic early, bluesy Stones. **** for the opening to Gimee Shelter !
Banging and opening and closing tracks and pretty good in the middle too. Didn’t realise how American some of their stuff sounded
Great lazy breakfast. Some classics and ones I’d never heard which made my ears prick up via great lyrics and choonage. Properly feels like the classics bookended the the middle portion.
Pretty good! It’s an 8 from me.
I really thought this was gonna be The Rolling Stones lp that grabbed me but no it wasn’t…whyyyy did bands do this tongue in cheek Americana bullshit around this time it’s so disingenuous
8. had some good songs
Äußerst solide.
Zahn der Zeit nagt und beißt auf über soliden Blues Rock Leicht nerven der Gospel background und Jaggers kratzig kratzige Stimme, aber dennoch wächst das Album zum Ende zu voller Größe aus; persönliche Highlights: last 3 songs
Würde gern 4,5 geben.
The standard for rock, but nothing flashy until the end
I enjoy Rolling stones much more than I thought before this album.
Some decent songs bookended by fantastic songs. I think if the middle section wasn’t all dragging blues or if Monkey Man wasn’t a song I’d rank it higher. 8
7/10 uwu
Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are by far the best/most popular songs on the album but the other songs are alright. 7/10.
Good rock and roll!
Classic
classic stones love it
My second favorite Stones album. So good.
4 ist halt nice
Very good. One of the best Stones albums. Gimme Shelter might be their greatest song. 8-9/10
this was p great
The best Rolling Stones album for sure
Definitely enjoyable. Feels very loose
Pretty good Stones record.
!!!!
Realized I didn't know this as well as I thought. Didn't realize Honky Tonk Woman was more or less an alternate B side, the version of Midnight Rambler I identify with appears to be a live version I couldn't source off the bat looking for it... Other than that, it's classic Stones, amazing if you like that kind of thing (which I do).
good, some songs were weak
A fine album, some familiar songs
Pretty good, but not my favorite Rolling Stones
blaaaaaa
-Never heard Country Honk, that was a cool alternative take. -Best song is Midnight Rambler for sure. -You can't always get what you want does not make sense on this album, just thrown on at the end. Sort of ruins the vibe despite being a good song.
great collection of rolling stones songs. would listen again.
hab nur drei Lieder davon gehört bevor ich eingeschlafen bin aber war nice und hatte diese ✨history vibes✨
Great.
Pretty decent loved the title track!!
Cool, especially fun front half. I hate hate hate the choir in the intro of the last song. i thought rolling stones were gonna suck but I guess I'm wrong
Classic
This is among my favorite Stones albums, but not quite up there with Satanic Majesty, Beggars Banquet, Black and Blue and Some Girls. The overall feel of this album is based on a bluesy-rock-country twang that give the Stones what I consider their best sound. 4.5 stars.
Quite the country influenced album. Very good tho. F.T.: Gimme Shelter. Do you even have to ask?? 7/10
It’s a great album, arguably the start of The Stones’ classic era, yet it feels like more than the sum of its parts.
Solid prime era Stones
Bra album, men lite långtråkig i mitten. Starkt avslut och bra start
I found this album opened strong however some of the other songs were not my favourite.
Some good stuff I guess but not for me.
I get the rock-ish vibe but what this sound involves into later in the 70s I dig more. But a cute little album, though I do feel like it starts promising and dies down. The opener track is the best track on the album, for sure.
You can't always get what you want whattt a choice for the closing track
Two great slices of my favourite Ciabatta (Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want) and some stale ham and processed cheese in the middle (the rest). Shame. Ok, ok, Midnight Rambler is a bit of sauce to spice it up a bit but in all I feel that it was a waste of good bread...Still a 3 for the two classics and the sauce...
Rape. Murder. Just a shot away. It’s fine. Maybe I have bad AirPods and speaker and car speakers and phone speakers but the vocals were hard to hear in every song.
This is fine. Gimme Shelter is fine. Monkey Man might be the best on the album. It's not bad, but not great either. Solid good album worthy of a 3.
in times of trouble mother mary calls to me singing words of wisdom let it bleed let it bleed de stones worden vanzelf oud in deze lijst (fun fact in de nieuwe versie wordt hun 2021 album ook toegevoegd. hopeloos), maar ik heb hiervan genoten!!
I’ve always liked the song Gimme Shelter, but it definitely hits different now being an adult aware of how easily war and crisis can happen. I don’t love the guitar being in only my left ear at the beginning of Love In Vain. The sound and Mick Jagger’s voice remind me of Violent Femmes though which is fun. Too slow/boring of a song for me though. Country Honk was fine I guess. I enjoyed the guitars being split in Live with Me. I did not care for the lyrics though. Oh god, I don’t really like the lyrics to Let It Bleed. Midnight Gambler was fun, but I don’t think I’d seek it out. I enjoyed You Got the Silver. Monkey Man was mid. Absolutely love You Can’t Always Get What You Want but really wish the acoustic guitar was in both ears. I’m sure I wouldn’t mind as much on speakers.
Ok
Pretty decent bluesy rock, besides the classic singles nothing totally wowed me though. 6/10.
Meh, solo disfrute let ir bleed
Country-like music didn't click much
Not a fan of country music but the lyrics were quite nice and catchy
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.
Once again, I'm not a fan of The Rolling Stones. Their legacy is overrated IMO. This is a good record though, plenty of blues roots here, but some honky tonk crap in the middle. Not good enough to make me wanna go back.
I’m always kinda torn on this record. Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, and You Can’t Always Get What You Want are all-timers, but the “Stones go country” tunes that make up the rest of the album are not my thing.
I know and own Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want. This was fine. Not bad, not great. I like 60's Rolling Stones more than any other era of The Rolling Stones.
Solid love me give me shelter
Some great classics, but also a little more country-ish than I expected.
Kantribiisit sano jiiihhaaa ja mä sanoin huoh alussa kun kuuntelin. Lätty kuitenkin parani huomattavasti loppua kohden ja oli ihana kuulla sitä ainutlaatuista soundia, mitä rollareilla on. Ei heidän paras levynsä, mutta ei huonoinkaan.
good album, that's it.
Oli hyvä! Jotenki kun mietin rollareita mietin ihan eri aikakautta. Oon sen verran sivistymätön. Ollu hauska jutella äitin kaa näistä levyistä mitä täällä on, se kerto yks päivä semmosta että kun se oli nuori niin Oulussa oli jonkun kauppakeskuksen yläkerrassa farkkuliikkeet ja sinne kun eteni niin alko oikeen pauhaamaan semmonen nuoristolaisten musiikki ja se ilmapiiri oli vahvasti "äiti voin mennä yksin ei sun tarvi tulla" ja rollarit on varmaan ollu just sitä. Tykkäsin, hyvä lätty. Ei mikään mun sielunmaisema kuitenkaan.
Starts well and ends well. The middle hmmm a bit blah
Tutaj będzie krótko, nie znam mocno twórczości The Rolling Stones, po odpaleniu albumu zaczyna się świetnie utworem Gimme Shelter, jednak później mam wrażenie, że cały album odwraca sie o 180 stopni od tego tracka i leci w zupełnie innym kierunku. Robiłem dwa podejścia do tego albumu ale jakoś sam krążek nie chce mnie zachęcić, żeby odkrywać jego historię czy okoliczności powstania. Dam 3/5 za Gimme Shelter, może jeszcze kiedyś tu wrócę.
Gimme shelter has to be the most iconic car commercial song of all time at this point. A honkey tonk rock and roll album. A great cap to the era before the 70's took over
Not my taste, but it is objectively good music.
6.5/10, good music but not really for me, I find it somewhat boring and repetitive.
Another puzzlingly inconsistent album from The Rolling Stones - like Beggars Banquet, this one is at its best on its bluesy songs, with the more rootsy country stuff falling more flat. I don't think The Rolling Stones can really pull off a varied album like this.
The Stones strike again with another strange album containing a couple all-time great songs with a bunch of bullshit in between. I just can’t seem to get behind their attempt at honky tonk stuff. This album even contains Country Honk, which is apparently the original version of how Honky Tonk Women was supposed to sound, but it’s significantly worse because they’re a British band trying to make a damn country sound!!!! Three points for Gimme Shelter tho.
This is totally fine. As we have seen before, you have two all time great songs with a lot of weaker material sandwiched in, but I did find myself enjoying Let it Bleed (song) and Monkey Man at least. This is one of their more listenable efforts.
not too much of my jam, but it wasn't unpleasant to listen to either.
Hard rock, blues, country blues.
5/10 I think front-to-back this is the best Stones album I've heard so far, but I only really got into about half of it.
A bit all over the place and shit in the middle somewhat
Is it this good?? Doesn’t really do much for me. Gimme shelter is classic but I don’t see myself loving it..
Gimme Shelter is an absolute classic, but the rest of the album doesn't quite match that peak. country honk feels very off from the rest of the album, but overall it isnt a bad listen
fav songs: gimme shelter you got the silver you can't always get what you want blues, iconic, dusty 60/100
It's a good album all right, I don't have anything bad to say about it. Gimme Shelter is certainly a banger. The blues ballads are nicely done, even if not particulary groundbreaking. However, this list pretty much confirmed that outside of their big hits, the Rolling Stones mostly bore me. I can't really explain why - they just do. Their music often feels like something's missing, something I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it just doesn't speak to me on an emotional level ; or maybe it's their weird obssession with making American roots music, which always felt a bit forced and artificial. Not an unpleasant listen overall, but I don't see myself coming back to it. 5/10
Damn. This is a very good album. This might be their 5. Let’s see how I feel… Uh… no. No. This is a shit sandwich. Gimme Shelter- a bunch of shit - You can’t Always get what you want. The album cover even displays it. They knew. 3 Boolean: uhhhh,True?
I can’t lie this is definitely the best Rolling Stones album on the list - 60s rock is never my thing, it still isn’t after this album but this wasn’t a bad listen at all! Cool album cover too
A criminally underrated and unknown band. In an alternative universe they'd be more beloved and well known than Steps. "Let it bleed" was a pleasant listen. A good mix of old rock, blues and country elements culminating in an "All American" sound. I particularly enjoyed the fiddling on "Country Honk." They're not a band I've really spent the time to listen to. I know there will be more Rolling Stones records on the list so I look forward to hearing them. 3/5
This is mostly for Gimme Shelter tbh
Overall pleasant. I don't think it's as much a shit sandwich as some say it is, it definitely has good bits in between the heavy hitter opener and closer. I say this as someone who typically prefers an earlier Stones sound, even if they're a band best listened to for their occasional hit single rather than any of their albums as an experience.
Kaks päris head lugu, ülejäänud pigem fillerid. Võibolla aja kohta väga head, aga praegu tundub see pigem basic ja mitte väärt albumile panemist. 3.2/5
would maybe stop if it played on radio in a car
You Can’t always get what you want is such a damn good song. Album is a classic.
I was incredibly bored by this album
A 3.5 for me. A good album sandwiched between two stand out tracks in Gimmie Shelter and Can’t Always Get What You Want, but the middle feels loose and too honkeytonk / bluesy influences so sounds lost between the two genres.
Commence bien, finie bien, milieu oubliable mais album sympa.
Kyllähän tää tuossa taustalla meni ihan kivasti, mutta ei kyllä herättänyt oikein minkäälaisia tuntemuksia xd Hitto, oispa puolikkaat tähet :D
Avausraita ei vielä oikein säväyttänyt (tokalla kuuntelulla rokkas paljon kovemmin!), mut Love In Vain kaappas mukaansa ja olihan tää lopulta aivan kova lätty! 🤩 Hauskan voimakkaasti oli paneroitu (mitä se on oikeesti suomeksi? xD) soittimia monessa biisissä. Rehtiä rokkia 🤝 Upea toi vikan biisin kuorointro! 😍
Tbh aika mid, en tykännyt hirveesti noista western-viboista. 3 tähteä tai jopa 2,5, ei houkuttanut kuuntelemaan uudestaan 🥲

It’s ok
Another album which starts out with a banger largely outshadowing the rest of the material. Gimme Shelter is something I have known for a long time, and I had to listen it on repeat when I started listening this. The Stones do combine elements of a few genres, but the first half of the record proves underwhelming, especially given the superiority of Gimme Shelter. Then you have some nice sogs. I believe the record is likely to have influenced various bands later on. Still, here on Let It Bleed much of the stuff feels just not as capturing as some rock music you are used to. It is overall nice, but lacks something for higher rates, and I am not going to give it favors due to its age. A decent rock release, but I believe the band is likely to have better ones. My picks: Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man (cool piano use). Gimmer Shelter is perhaps better than the rest of the album combined... but still, we have to try to rate the album as a whole.
Glad I listened but I think Rolling stones has become one of those bands where the greatest hits and a few personal ones is the extent of the listen. Album that is good by vibes.
No debe ser el mejor disco de los stones. Me gustan sólo la primera y la última. Pero contento de que salieron.
Not bad, two huge hits in Gimme Shelter and You Vant Always Get What You Want. These two are great songs. The rest are mostly just ok. 3.5.
Never thought I'd like the Stones, but this is actually a good album. I appreciate the bluesy feel, although it is a bit too bluesy for my taste. They could have benefitted from a better singer, but all in all it's quite enjoyable.
I have no connection with The Rolling Stones other than them being overused in movies and trailers. This album didn’t change any of the totally neutral feeling I have towards them.
no es su mejor disco. tiene temas meh y temas buenos. creo que es bastante mid (por ahi es que estoy teniendo un dia de re mierda)
It’s alright.
Monkey man and you can’t always get what you want , ja takk
It’s alright
This is one of the four-album period of the Stones that I enjoy. Enjoy the acoustic and more country-tinged to the bluesier numbers, but I’d rate this right down the middle for my enjoyment. I’m super taken with how great the recording sounds on the Remastered version I listened to. I like it and appreciate it but probably won’t listen to it much. Sticky Fingers and Exile are my preference.
Not my cuppa tea at first. Knew and liked the hits from childhood. Didn't finish and switched to Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones. Came back, enjoyed title track, Midnight Rambler, and of course You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Starts with an all-time legend song in “Gimme Shelter”, then - with that out of the way - rolls into a muddy, rambling county-blues that sounds like a lot of drugs. Which isn’t bad! The Stones are doing very much their own thing here. “Country Honk” would evolve into the much tighter “Honky-Tonk Women”. The title track is a little gem. Still, “Midnight Rambler” and “You Can’t Always…” are never my favorites. The children’s chorus on “You…” really grates on me. Really hit-or-miss here, but the Stones receive a little more grace for trying some things. They don’t give a fuck what I think anyway.
la primera y la última son de 10, simplemente como empieza ya ha merecido todo la pena, muy country para mi gusto y me ha costado un poco peero nada nada mal, son icónicos
Listening session: may 11th, while shopping Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: som parts of this album are iconic, but other than that this is not something I would listen to again. Not the best Rolling Stones album Favourite tracks: Gimme Shelter & You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Gimme Shelter - 3/5 Love In Vain - 3/5 Country Honk - 3.5/5 Live With Me - 3.5/5 Let It Bleed - 4/5 Midnight Rambler - 3/5 You Got The Silver - 3/5 Monkey Man - 3.5/5 You Can't Always Get What You Want - 3/5
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.
they said you can't always get what you want, but i did
2 hit songs to start and end the album, but a bunch of mediocrity sandwiched in between
Couple good songs but nothing amazing
The album peaks at 'Gimme Shelter', then it has a bunch of nonsense before it gets to another decent song 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'
Two of their best songs with a bunch of filler sandwiched in between. Was not familiar with Country Honk so that was kind of interesting to hear. Idk why, but the Stones appeal to me less as I get older. Not a bad album, just not one I'd lean on when I'm in the mood for them.
a few great tracks. I love the stones but don't love their albums as a whole
A decent Album for them.
Maybe basic but this is prob the Stones album I’ve liked the most so far. Still not really a fan, gotta say
opening - best song ever middle - worst songs of all time closing - okay-est song ever
Gimme Shelter and You Cant Always Get What You Want are the stars here and they do a good amount of heavy lifting. The rest is pretty bog-standard blues inspired Stones stuff, Let It Bleed making me laugh about a guy talking about doing coke and getting stabbed in a filthy basement with a jaunty melody is pretty good.
Well we all need, someone we can cream on Another mixed bag from the Stones. Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed are terrific and the album closer You Can’t Always Get What You Want was a transcendent experience listened to on a sunny day mountain drive with the windows down, but the rest of the album is so weird and forgettable. Just poorly executed country songs and weird Americana and also the awful blues. Hopefully this is the last of the Stones because I can honestly say this list has completely tarnished their reputation for me
reicht mit den ganzen country schiene albums. erster und die letzter song sind stark zwischendrin nicht meins, wobei ich den dritt und zweitletzten okay fand.
Not really my cup of tea, it was fine
A couple certified bangers but not my favorite as an album
Good album, "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are amazing.
This album is a bit of a mess, half country influenced songs, a blues jam, and a couple of rockers bookended by two absolute classics. This highs are extremely high but lacks cohesion. 3.5🎂
Good album and few songs I liked.
Another overrated 60's -70's band. While its not a bad album, it is just gimme shelter + bunch of fillers. And even that song is massively overrated lmao.
Amazing opening track. Incredible closing track. A bunch of "eh?" in the middle. Didn't hate it, but didn't wow me to the core either. Have never liked Jagger's exaggerated vocals on slower songs such as "Love In Vain" which was notably tough to get through. Dead middle of the pack.
The first one is sooo great !! Gimme shelter!! Don't really like the other, country vibe
70
Couple of good songs
Decent album
Big hair, tight pants. There’s a few pretty good tracks on here but it ultimately feels like young white guys being cool- lacks the deep soul and heartache of TRUE rock and roll. That being said it smells like a turning point of a musical evolution- on the cusp of a new wave.
first time listening to this one straight through. I was familiar with "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" -- beyond that there wasn't much else on here that I thought was all that great. "Midnight Rambler" is fun and has its moments of trickery that grabbed my attention. mostly it sounded like The Rolling Stones doing their own take of genres and approaches to songcraft that other people were doing/had done better already. is that what all the "classic" Stones albums are like? guess I'm gonna find out.
Great bookends on this album, obviously. But again, the middle disappoints. Not bad, just kinda there. There were a couple minutes of Midnight Rambler when the groove sets in that I sat up for. I like the general vibe of You Got the Silver, and Monkey Man is real good.
Gimme shelter and Monkey man are incredible but the deep cuts on this are so disappointing. Also as a side note adding a children’s choir to a rock song will always make it infinitely worse, I’m looking at you You can’t always get what you want. See also: War is over and Schools out.
Great Stones album, great beginning and end songs for the album. Vintage rock and roll, my favorite song off this album is always gonna be Gimme Shelter.
nice
I like the train song, I thought it was pretty cool. I don't really know how I feel about this album, but I do like the sound of it. Overall, this album is just a vibe to listen to, but I'm not sure if I would listen to it again.
It is yet another embarrassing thing to admit but I have never heard a Rolling Stones album in full until this very point. I have heard many of their songs before and would consider myself a fan of some extent but once again I didn't know what to expect when going through 40+ minutes of their music. Thankfully I feel Let It Bleed was probably the best place I could have started when it came to their music. Let It Bleed is a feel good album. It may not be this big loud Rock album a lot of people would expect from the stones, but it is a more calm and laid back Blues Rock album that shows some of the finer details of the band's chemistry as well as their writing skills in a much brighter way than usual. Overall, it’s a really solid album, the only thing holding it back is my spite for dad.
nice bass on 'live with me'
Classic
Great record. Preferred the last stones one I heard, but again, awesome experimentation here
I love some of The Rolling Stones songs. Like really love. I liked some of these songs in this album however, its not my thing. Classic and Iconic for sure but I'm not really the person who listens to this type of rock.
1st song pretty good, i like the girl vocals. 2nd song is ok, abit slow tho live w me - cool sax let it bleed - not rly a fan of how they kinda speak the lyrics instead of sing them midnight rambler - interesting. i do like harmonicas. oo it sped up now n stopped swingin, cool u cant always get what u want - i recognise this melody?? i think they sang this on glee didnt notice the album was over.. anyway pretty ok, wouldnt b mad if sum1 played it but wouldnt choose it myself
mick jagger voice is way too ingrained in my brain via my dad playing stones all the time when i was growing up. these songs are fine but every bluesy jammy type track has been done better IMO!! the closer is nice tho
when mick jagger said "we all need someone we can cream on" i really felt that
Alright rock album not much to say
I love the combination of different sounds. And I’ve never listened to the Rolling Stones before so it was cool
Not bad songs per say but a bit too long and I’m not a big country/acoustic guy
Never been a fan of mick but the tunes are tolerable
It's OK
la verdad que hubieron canciones que no me terminaron de convencer por la vibra media vieja con esos ritmos medios countries que en lo personal no me gusta, pero a su vez tiene temas muy modernos que están completamente geniales, para mi este album es medio una ambiguedad, por eso 3 estrellas
I know this album’s a classic but the only song I cared about was “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” 🫣😅
Enjoyable to listen to.
No es un género que suela escuchar a menudo, pero me gustó para acompañar mis mañanas en la oficina
Good but old
third rolling stones album pulled... i like gimme shelter but i don't think the rest of the album lives up to it, still a fine listen though.
When the tracks are good, they’re great. There is a decent amount of filler. Appreciate the song from Goodfellas being on there.
mb not for me not bad music
6/10 Bajo nivel, nunca me termino de convencer, las canciones son tranquilas pero les falta sazon, no tiene ninguna que destaque, son un meh, lo apruebo porque es de los Rolling nomas
This album is like a sandwich. A sandwich scraped together with all sorts of leftovers put between two of the most delicious slices of homemade bread you've had. Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are the mega Stones classics that they've always been. And the rest... well, it's okay. It's kind of goofy, aloof British mix of rock and blues that tends to lean more bluesy here than I'd expect. Mick Jagger's vocals still drag the album down for me, but it's almost entirely made up for by the choir in the ultimate track of the record. 3.5 Highlight: You Can't Always Get What You Want Lowlight: Monkey Man Highlight: #2 Gimme Shelter
Pretty solid album, I did like it a lot, but it was slightly a let down. If you really, really get tracks on here, but quite a bit in the middle was not necessarily my favorites, but I have. Three stars.
My first The Rolling Stones album. The first song on the album is very good, full of energy, and it captures the sound the band carries throughout the entire record. This song reminds me of Apocalypto or Despair. The last track is an amazing closer. I do think the slower tracks are kind of weak or bland, they don’t do much for me. On some tracks, I find Mick Jagger’s performance very fitting and full of the energy the song needs, but on others, his vocals are a bit annoying and it just feels like he’s screaming in my ear to get my attention. Overall, I find this album enjoyable, but I don’t see myself coming back to it other than in a couple of tracks. My favorite tracks are: Gimme Shelter, Live With Me, monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ me gustó, es un clásico y una banda memorable, siempre es buena escuchar sus canciones y este álbum me transmita un ritmo más aclamado y contri.
I can’t believe how forgettable most of these songs are and how much they feel like “hippy garbage.” If you had asked me 3 days ago who the Rolling Stones were, these two words would have been the last thing on my mind. How is it possible for albums to be so boring?
I remember this being better. It’s not.
No me gusto mucho, si bien es un buen album con mucha historia, pasa muy lento a mi parecer. Gimme shelter me gusto mucho, pero no mucho mas. 5/10
Opener and closer are deserved classics, but not a whole lot going on in between
Two amazing numbers, but the rest of the album can't live up to that standard
I like the stones more than I thought! The bluesy stuff was my favorite off this
Couple of good songs
Not a huge fan.
A couple of great songs, but the rest is country and meh.
They wrote two all-time classic songs, stuck them on either end of the album, and put any old shit in between
‘‘Twas alright
As always with The Rolling Stones, the big hits are really good and everything else on the album is wildly inconsistent. Makes the fact that they have so many albums on this list feel a bit egregious
Good.
Couple of great tracks but, dare I say it, quite a bit of forgettable dress.
Pretty standard but solid Stones album. A few good standout songs, few that sound like they started jamming on something and thought they'd just go with it....
Pretty good, a few good songs on it.
Some bangers on here for sure, solidly good
This project has more or less confirmed that I'm happy with the Stones' hits. I've yet to enjoy a full-length from start to finish, and it's not for lack of trying (even before this project). In this case, the best moments bookend Let It Bleed: the relatively svelte "Gimme Shelter" and the overlong-but-iconic "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The songs between those often feel meandering—or rambling, if you will—and I prefer the alt "Honkey Tonk Women" to "Country Tonk." It's useful to hear everything in its context, but I don't expect to return to this.
Gimme Shelter bangs but I didn’t care much about the rest
Some great songs and some not that exciting, overall a good album
5/10
Didn't realize how much The Rolling Stones sounded like southern rock with influences of gospel and blues. Really liked "You Got the Silver"
This is a fine enough album. Does this really need to be here when Exile on Main Street and Beggars' Banquet are already here? Not really. I'm inclined to give this 2 stars, but it's not really bad enough for that.
