Reviews (page 12 of 13)
I've got the blues songs sounds very blue. But otherwise very enjoyable album. Can totally understand why Rolling Stones was legendary for their time.
3/5
Not a huge Stones fan but this is probably my favorite album of theirs. Especially like WILD HORSES and MOONNIGHT MILE
Cool Jojo reference Overrated album.
Sikkert greit, fulgte ikkje så godt med
A few great songs. The rest is good. 3.5
Very country sounding but of course teeming with hits
Dont get me wrong, it's good classic rock and roll, stands the test of time. Good quality, but didnt overly wow me. Favorite song, Cant You Hear Me Knocking
🤷
there are some flashes of greatness, the middle of CYHNK and the end of Moonlight Mile. when they got kinda psychedelic and out there. wish they leaned more into it
Okay I guess.
Probably the most famous of the Stones' albums, it also best demonstrates the Stones’ brand of uninspiring, mundane, rock music. Also, the 5th Stones album I’ve been served with over here.
not bad
alright some dips in quality keep this from being any higher but okay album
Classic blues rock. The stones have definitely influenced Black Crows, and many other modern blues rock bands.
For a Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers didn't really hit me in the way I expected it to. It was more blues rock but not in the same way their earlier works sounded, where I expected more of a rock n roll vibe. Probably the most interesting part of the album was the cover art where they managed to have an image of a man in tight jeans with a fully functioning zipper exposing some tighty-whities. Best: Wild Horses Worst: I Got The Blues 2.5 Stars
when dinosaurs walked the earth, when the Stones were young, when this record sounded exciting and new
I enjoyed the album. It is certainly better than a 3. Can't Hear Me Knocking is the best song on the album. Dead Flowers brings the album down which prevents rounding up.
I've never really understood the love for The Rolling Stones, but I got a little glimpse of that on this album. This is the not the first Stones album we've been dealt but it is the first one that made me say, Okay.
probably a bit before my time, not something I would usually listen to but its still somehow nostalgic?
I was never really exposed to the Stone outside of whatever I heard on classic rock radio, but this was a good mix of blues and great riffs, and just some good rock and roll. Loved the backing vocals on some of these songs, and the highlight for me was Can't You Hear Me Knocking and that epic jam for the last 4 min of the song.
So far my experience is the the Rolling Stones made great singles not great albums and so far this has been the case as well, the songs aren't bad they were quite good but it didn't feel cohesive as an album for me overall forgettable outside a few singles.
meh
It was good, but unfortunately it’s hard for me to like this when I’ve been spoiled by people pushing the envelope further and further to where this sounds very vanilla. The songs are all solid for the most part, but don’t sound like anything I can’t get anywhere else nowadays. The one standout I got was Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, as well as liking the others hits such as Queen Morphine. Compared to the other British Invasion acts, this one seems to have aged in a way that makes it seem generic (which might be a good thing if everyone copied this style?) rather than revolutionary. Good, but don’t have a lot of desire to revisit.
some of the stones best, but i still don’t love the stones - i have yet to click w them
some of the rolling stones' biggest hits are on sticky fingers. as someone who mostly knows only the stones' hits from the radio, it was a different experience to listen to this album in its entirety. their hits are generally straight up rock and roll, but i found much more depth in the other songs here. i mean, yes, it was a lot of rock! but the stones incorporated blues, folk, a pinch of jazz that was unexpected but not unwelcome. sticky fingers made for an interesting listen that kept rewarding me the more i paid attention. also, "brown sugar" is a bop.
Considering "Brown Sugar" is one of my favorite Stones songs, if not my absolute favorite, I expected to love this album more. I find the A-Side/B-Side single pairing of "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch" to be fitting and fun, but the rest of the album doesn't really do it for me as much. The rest of the album is very heavy on roots rock and even bluesy rock. Still a decent entry from the Stones, just not my fave.
I was about four tracks, and when I was ready to resign, writing this off as another average, Dad rock album. Then can you hear me knocking started playing🔥 the way the guitar matches the lyrics during the hook he’s like candy to my ears. Overall though, that was the only highlight. Most of the album just kinda dredged on for me, not bad. Not good.
Some bangers on here and some duds. You gotta move is actually hilariously bad and it sounds like that one tik tok sound I’m the beginning 😂. First three songs was a pretty good run, first 4 even. Also I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to the brown sugar lyrics and they are actually wild asf. Song still slaps though. Dont feel like I was missing much having not heard this. I’ve already heard the best songs and the rest of them I could do without. Actually sway could make it into my Rotation. Won’t be revisiting but it was an enjoyable listen still. Best: brown sugar, sway Was gonna try to be different for MMM but I don’t think there’s much comp here: BROWN SUGAR🗣️HOW COME YOU TASTE SO GOOD😮 BROWN SUGAR🗣️ (redacted)🤨
I’ve seen this ranked as the Stones’ best album, but again I came away expecting more. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent listen (as far as highlights go: Moonlight Mile is great and the guitar riff on Brown Sugar is undeniable). It’s just that at no point during it did I think ‘wow, these guys are/were the best band in the world’, or even ‘nobody sounds like The Rolling Stones’. Because lots of bands do, no? 3 / 3.5
Pre thoughts: I like TRS but I have heard their albums are boring to listen to I.e some of the deep cuts aren't as good. Track 1: Brown Sugar. Love this song. Track 3: wild horses good slow ballad Track 4: Can't you hear me knocking. OK but bored of the 4 min solo. Does nothing for me Track 5: You gotta move: 2/5 Track 6: Better. Upbeat Track. Good solo. Sister Morphine. Love the solo and the guitar work
Favorite song: I Got The Blues
Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones Brown sugar - 3/5 Sway - 4/5 Wild horses - 3/5 Can't you hear me knocking - 2/5 You gotta move - 2/5 Bitch - 4/5 I got the blues - 3/5 Sister morphine - 3/5 Dead flowers - 4/5 Moonlight mile - 3/5 Favs: Sway Bitch Dead flowers
Good
One of stones better albums, although for me personally, I was never a stones fan, i dont get why so many people get a hard on for their music, and this album, although ok, is nothing outstanding. That said, there are a few good tracks on here, Brown Sugar being a great opening track, and Wild Horses a simple and enchanting track, but a lot of the rest drifts off into a New Orleans style bluesy musical drawl that could have been better, but I found I really couldn't be bothered listening to it a lot of the time, simply waiting for the next track. On a plus point, for an album that's over 50 years old, the good bits still command a really good sound.
- tbh a little too ~classic~ rock for me - not as much energy as I wanted or anticipated - 2.5 round up - Bitch is a banger
1 week, 2 rolling stones albums. bored as always
Classic album, an epitome of its era. It aged a bit though.
My first Stones record on here. I've never really listened to them outside the huge singles so I'm looking forward to hearing these. This is an odd one to start with for me, I think. It kicks off with Brown Sugar; a song played so much it's probably impossible to hear it in any way new. Then, I've got to be honest, most of the rest of the album just sort of washed over me. It does sound "important" and I did enjoy it but I can't imagine I'll play it again. Except for Wild Horses; a song I love so much it brings the whole album a star in my ratings.
I mean, it’s The Rolling Stones. What’s not to like?
A lot of this has been done before and better, by the Stones and other beat groups. Probably would have enjoyed it more if the first track wasn’t about the systemic rape of enslaved black women.
The Rolling Stones were a huge deal. I personally never got into them. I don't dislike them. I just never really seek them out. So this will be a fun listen. It was good. Nothing mind blowing or nothing that stuck out.
ACE riffs right from the start. There's some great sax on Brown Sugar that is hidden way down in the mix. I didn't know that Billy Preston appeared on this album. Wild Horses is both morose and uplifting. It has that rare quality of recognising that life can be shitty, but gives you a helping hand to rise above it. I think? The rest of the album rambles a little with Can't You Hear Me Knocking. It's best not to analyse and navel gaze - just enjoy Sticky Fingers. It's only rock 'n' roll, YEAH?
Nope. Still not a fan of classic rock. However this was better than I was expecting.
Classic but not a big stones fan.
не мои ребята, не мой жанр, утомляюсь
They say you're either a Stones fan or a Beatles fan, but you damn well must like one over the other. I'm a Beatles fan. I dig the Stones. This is a pretty good record and I completely understand why it is a classic in the truest sense of the word. But I'm just not thrilled by it. There are about 5 songs by the Stones that I think are among the best songs ever written/recorded, but only Wild Horses and Dead Flowers are on this record. Just to demonstrate where I'm at, I fucking LOVE these two songs. But the Stones didn't even like the song Wild Horses so they gave it to the Flying Burrito Brothers. Then after everyone liked it a ton, they recorded it themselves. And by far the best version of Dead Flowers was done by Townes Van Zandt. So, I'm not trying to diminish the songs or the Stones in any way, but I suppose that just goes to demonstrate that I never connected with this band the way many do.
Meh
I actually knew a guy nicknamed Sticky Fingers in high school. None of you want to hear his backstory but I'm telling you regardless. Are you ready? No? Well here we go! So Sticky Fingers, Sticky for short, was three years older than me, like most of my friends at the time. I was not acquainted with any of them when they were early high school students, but by the time I was a freshman and they were seniors we became friends. Occasionally I had heard the rest of the group refer to him as Sticky behind his back, but I was never one to but in and ask for the backstory. Two years later, while they were all in college, everyone was just drunk enough to tell me the whole story. So here it is... As sophomores in high school, the group threw a party one Saturday. The group was primarily guys, a few of their girlfriends too, but in general it was a real sausage fest. They all got very very hammered that night, as was usual for their soirees. I should also mention that they were notorious for their gay tendencies. I'm talking sneaky nuts (urban dictionary if you don't know), ass slaps, drunk smooches on the cheek. You name it, they probably did it. But back to the story. On this night, someone had a grand idea of doing a circle jerk onto a piece of white bread. So they did it. They all gathered around, whipped their cocks out, and started masturbating onto a piece of Wonder Bread. Why the Indian man hosting the party had Wonder Bread at his house is beyond me, but he did. Eventually, everyone finished except for one - Sticky. Sticky felt ashamed, and frankly he needed to finish for his own wellbeing, so he stumbled into a room. In that room, blacked out on a bed, was one of the guys in the group. He had been knocked out for over an hour now and had no concept that the circle jerk had happened. Well, Sticky, in his drunken state, pulled his dick back out and started tugging at it again. Now that he was in private, he could really focus on the task in hand. All of a sudden, he felt it cumming. With nowhere to put the incoming ejaculate, he chose the only logical spot: the sleeping man's hand. The next morning, the sleeping man woke up from his alcohol induced coma and found that his hand had something weird on it. Asking the rest of the group, they were all confused too. As they walked back through the events of the night, they finally deduced this story. Sticky later admitted to one person that he did do it, and that person told the rest of the group. And that is the story of Sticky Fingers. I hope you all enjoyed.
Liked Wild Horses. I just don’t think I’m a very big Stones fan.
Good
I had heard most of these tracks many times when I was younger. While I'm still not a very consistent Stones fan, there are some good songs on this one. I appreciate how important and influential they have been on so much music and culture since the 60s, but, honestly, while a handful of their songs are truly excellent to my ears, I'm just not wildly into them overall.
Sounds a little dated. Some nice nostalgic moments, but I like my rock to be a bit more distorted. After growing up in the 90's this kinda still feels like my parents generation sound.
toight toight toight toight pants (fav songs: brown sugar, sway, wild horses)
is good ⭐⭐⭐
Good solid oldies, but nothing new.
Couple of great songs, a couple of stinkers. This album is more notable for the cover art than the music. A strong opener and closer help it, but 'You Gotta Move' and 'Sister Morphine' are low points.
It's the rolling stones I guess, reasonably enjoyable listen.
I enjoyed this album. Some fun slide guitar parts and memorable tunes, but nothing that makes what to jump up and dance. Good background music at the local drinking hole.
I was never much of a Stones fan, but my friend Jim managed to get me into a few of their albums when I was in my 30's (Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Satanic Majesty's). But for whatever reason, this one just never appealed. Clearly, there's a lot of care in the arrangements and production. And I do like some of the songs (Moonlight Mile, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, I Got the Blues), but none of them would be my top ten Stones' songs. And meanwhile, Wild Horses has never done a thing for me; Sister Morphine... I don't know, songs about addiction mostly bore me; You Gotta Move is like nails on a chalkboard; and I don't even really know what to think about Brown Sugar (though the "You should've heard them just around midnight" part is a damn catchy piece of songwriting). So, I get that people love this. It's just not for me.
I guess I somewhat like this because it’s familiar. There are some good grooves. It’s not really my thing though. Okay, Can’t you hear me knocking is actually super cool. Is it gonna be a theme that I prefer famous bands’ unknown instrumental pieces?? Bitch has some fun instrumentation. Sister Morphine is kinda cool. Dead flowers is a country song? It sounds so different from the rest of the album. I like Moonlight Mile. Not sure I understand it but it’s kinda scratching my brain. This album is such a mixed bag, it’s wild.
This was my first Stones album. It was pretty good but I don’t see the big appeal just yet. I think they need more time with me to sit with me, so I can appreciate them more
Southern vibes, slow, blues-y
acceptable.
I like Brown Sugar as long as I don’t think about the meaning. I also like Wild Horses. The rest kinda smushed into one in my head.
Not my favourite Rolling Stones album. It starts off strong but peters out pretty quickly in my opinion. Additionally not a big fan of the country sound on some of these Saved tracks: Brown Sugar, Wild Horses
Clean and classic Stones. For those researching the era this is a very decent rocker
solid
They’re a singles band aren’t they! Wild Horses is stunning.
Highlights: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Bitch" First time giving the Stones a full listen, but pretty much knew how it was going to go. We can only hear them refracted through the people they influenced, and their contributions are now mostly cliche or worse. The good: The Stones know how to stab. They know how to use space to grab the listener. Their guitarists have a strong connection and know how to fill each other in. The old comparison to the Beatles is kind of absurd, but Stones' lyrics are smarter, with more thrust and coherence. The bad: Their twofold transatlantic minstrel show is especially repugnant on "You Gotta Move" and "Dead Flowers". This is the year after Let It Be and sure enough there's Phil Spector-y bullshit arrangements on a few tracks. It wasn't that far into the Stones' career but it's already kind of an echo chamber for the rock world.
well done, oddly country vibes just not my type of rock but classic anyways fav songs: bitch, i got the blues
Good songs here and there, but as usual with the Stones, they just can't get their combined minds to make a decent album from start to finish.
Good songs here and there, but I never get hook by Rolling stones - not a fan
Half of the album is made of very great and strong songs and the other half is incredibly average and poor. By chance, the nice songs are VERY good.
A very back to basics record. Sometimes you miss the simplicity of what music used to be, and the possibility of what else music could be. Because even if this doesn't necessarily blow minds in 2023, it's a great piece of musical history to go back to. Standout tracks are Brown Sugar (one of my favorite Rolling Stones tracks in general), Wild Horses, and I Got the Blues.
Alright... not bad... not unenjoyable, but they were never my favorite.
Decent album. I have no desire to listen to it again, but then it doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest Stones fan. I just don’t find their music very intelligent. Does not speak to me.
It was fine
It’s a good album. Reminds me of my dad. I do however find the blatant rip off of r and b musicians to be a bit distracting.
It was good but didn't really catch my attention
This listen was a bit sticky, in a bad way
Wild Horses is an all time great song. Not my favorite Stones album otherwise.
It’s cool! I used to record a band that sang like these guys. It’s cool to here their influence.
Historically I have struggled to find The Rolling Stones to be worth my time when it comes to listening to one of their records. As a younger person who was influenced by my POP's record collection in the beginning, I appreciated the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and many others from the jump. The Stones were the band from that era I trashed consistently. Over time I've been able to appreciate more of the music and a few of Mick Jagger's best performances. This record has a couple of tracks that I enjoyed; they were: Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. And so I give this record one star for posterity and a star for each song I could dig.
Decent enough. Whatevs
Good old fashioned rock and roll.
It's the Rolling Stones. It's Sticky Fingers. I would love to give it 5 stars but I've never listened to a Stones album and put it on my list of things to listen to over and over again. Great great songs but not a whole album.
- Never listened to this in full before - Similar feeling to most Stones albums I've heard, some really good songs and some that I think are only ok - Fav songs: Wild Horses, Brown Sugar, Sway
Not a big fan of this older style of blues-y rock in general, nothing against this album in particular.
Generally pleasant, something good, something meh, not excited
Un bon album des Stones, mais encore une fois, je ne peux pas dire que je l'aime d'un bout à l'autre. Brown Sugar et Wild Horses sont des incontournables du groupe. J'aime beaucoup la pochette du vinyle où ils ont mis de véritables fermetures éclaires sur les pochettes.
it's ok
Zoveel goede muziek van de Stones. Maar dit album is echt overschat...
Probably my favourite Stones album. Mainly because Wild Horses is my favourite Stones song. While I'm not the biggest fan this is a band at its peak.
bien pero tranqui. 7 / 10
Never listened to a Rolling Stones Album before. I had to get up to check if it was a Blues singer. I’m from Memphis-home of the Blues, so I know our sound. I found myself in a deep while about how they were inspired by the sound. Connection made. Good listen.
I appreciate what The Rolling Stones has done for music and their influence on others, but this was a middle-of-the-road album for me.
Good stuff!
This album has some hits but it desperately lacks some bangers. It's far from pain to listen to, I would even say it's good. But it reeks out false sentiment in some places and bores in others.
Didn't catch me at all, it's not bad but I honestly expected more...
Some really classic Stones songs.
This sounds like music for sad drunk guys at a biker bar in Alabama.
There were some memorable and endearing parts, notably Wild Horses and Sister Morphine, but it felt bogged down by the rest of the album. Ultimately, I think this album would've benefited from a slight trimming. Still a pretty charming album, just not world-shattering.
Veldig gode på bluse sanger. Litt ensidig og mye av det samme.
Classic Rock n Roll. Not their best album but still good for cruising around town.
Not my favorite of their albums but still a good one.
It was all right but nothing much special on this album IMO
As usual with a stones album, there's some good songs and some bad songs. Not as good as Let It Bleed (but also not as bad).
Yeah, cool. The hard-panned guitars get a bit grating after a while. Couple of decent tunes though. Stand out tracks: Can You Hear Me Knocking, Wild Horses, Bitch.
A few standout tracks: Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch
Wild Horses best track on the album
Rolling Stone neutral
Perusvarma
Dunno why but I just get put off listening to this one - The best songs are not the singles (although Sway is great, if that counts) - Can't you hear me knocking probably my favourite, superb riff. Moonlight Mile. There's some nice blues and stuff. I much prefer Townes Van Zandt's version of Dead Flowers. It's a good album no question but I've never completely understood why it's vaunted by many as the best Stones album.
Best Song: Wild Horse. even though this song has attained a sort of cliché status, it really holds up. I find the main lyric of "wild horses couldn't drag me away" is really evocative, and Mick Jagger's giant personality is sufficiently under control here. Worst Song: You Gotta Move. Absolute travesty of an blues take. Overall: Having not grown up in the heyday of the Rolling Stones and instead knowing the group as a bunch of (impressive) geriatrics, they sit in a weird spot for me. I don't find their music particularly interesting, but it is very familiar. It's largely that familiarity that succeeds for me here.
first listen good, but didn't hold my attention
good stuff but not my cup of tea.
Better album than Aftermath. Songs are all stronger overall and feel less repetitive. Tapers out the longer the album goes on, but the first half especially is good.
The Stones were a great covers and singles band. Sue me.
This was cooler than expected but it's still just early 70s rock. I'll probably never really understand why these guys are so popular. Still, guess it's better than the Beatles. 3/5.
I love wild horses but give or take the rest
The stones just aren't my cup of tea. Some great moments here to try and convince me otherwise, but meh. I enjoyed reading about the making of this record though.
Really like bits of this - Brown Sugar a classic, and Wild Horses is even better. Then it starts to go a bit downhill. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is overblown and self-indulgent, You Gotta Move carries on in the same vein, but it picks up again after that with Bitch and I Got The Blues. Nice, slow, really bluesy sound carries on a little, then gets more upbeat in style for Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile is a nice chilled ending. Comfortable 3 for me, probably would've made a 4 without the two tracks that annoyed me in the middle.
I often feel awkward rating albums by bands like the Rolling Stones, because while I acknowledge their towering legend and inescapable influence, sometimes I just personally find them a bit underwhelming.
It was an okay rock album.
1st half is great, 2nd half less so. Almost a but not quite
Not the best Rolling Stones album. Sounded very generic bluesy in a lot of places.
I enjoyed
This is the third album recommended from the Rolling Stones. The three songs that I liked the most are all songs that I've heard before many times ("Wild Horses", "Dead Flowers", "Brown Sugar"). But even these tracks don't call to me for a second listen. I like covers of "Wild Horses" more than the original from the Stones. Overall, the album can be summed up as, "Sure, okay". It was an album, but I wouldn't miss it.
Genre: Blues Rock 3/5 For as much praise and adoration that's regularly dumped upon The Rolling Stones, their two albums I've listened to so far throughout this exercise have been rather underwhelming. Not altogether terrible, just disappointing. Let It Bleed was a project buoyed by its big singles, with the rest of the album packed with rock equivalents of doing the chores, formulaic and tedious filler. This, on the other hand, is a more cohesive project, with no one track overshadowing the others, but overall lacks that spunk and swagger that I feel a great Stones record should have. The production value on this is apparent, expensive strings and solid arrangements all around, but this doesn't make it a great album. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are both "standouts", but neither are high-powered jams, settling instead for a purely straight blues approach, and Wild Horses is about 2-and-a-half minutes too long. Mick Jagger sounds great, but it really does sound as if the rest of the group is going through the motions. Not a bad album, but didn't hit the mark for me. I'm excited to get one of their more psychedelic albums in the future, but for now, this is meh.
I get it, The Stones are considered one of the greatest rock bands in history. Listening to this record though I considered that if I was in the mood for blues rock I'd rather go for Led Zeppelin or White Stripes, or whatever. The one thing that puts me off is that I can't stand Mick Jagger's vocals, at least on this record.
Bluesy and a bit country, classic classic rock.
A good album with a few great tracks
Got a cool rock, funky vibe to it. I think the different vibes and melodies make it accessible for a wide range of audiences
No soy muy fana de los rollings. Me gustaron la mayoría de temas. Brown sugar creo que es mi preferido.
The penultimate good Rolling Stones album. It's good, but not great; an effective mix of blues, rock and rock 'n' roll. Guitar, bass and drums with little else relative to the previous couple of albums.
was good. highlights were wild horses and can’t you hear me knocking. don’t think I’ll listen to this fully anytime soon, but I enjoyed it a fair bit.
It was alright
Rockin
Fattar int
This is a pretty solid album, some songs are really good and I liked how they added more of a soul/blues style. The problem is, I just didn't connect with it that much. Wild Horses is exceptional though.
I really feel like I should be rating this higher, but the enjoyment just isn't there. Can I appreciate this album's importance? Yeah, sure. Do I see the technical skill, creativity, and musical ability that went into it? Of course. Do I actually want to listen to it again? Wild Horses yeah, but probably not the rest.
I don't think The Rolling Stones can quite pull of the range of genres they reach for in this album, but it's still quite good! I'm not the biggest fan of their attempts at slow songs, but I understand those songs' popularity.
Not the biggest Stones fan. I get it, I just don't get it the way the real fans do. That said, I don't mind this album. Favorite track I Got the Blues!
Pretty average for a Stones album. Wild Horses and Dead Flowers are my favourite but strangely I can't stand Brown Sugar.
3 1/2
Another good Stones album, with fewer country-style hits than the last one I listened to. Brown Sugar is a jam but has *terrible* lyrics - glad to hear that the band has stopped playing it.
“Sayonara to a messy 1969.”
Was ok
7/10
Hij vloog voorbij, dit plaatje. Dat is zowel een goed als een slecht teken...
Nooit echt een Stones fan geweest, maar dit vind ik wel een tof plaatje. Vooral dat Can't you hear me knockin' heeft echt een coole groove.
Een solide 3.
Ik verwachtte hier meer van.
Un disco bueno, con canciones igual de buenas, buen ritmo y todas esas cosas pero algo no me termina de convencer
qualche notevole eccezione, in generale mi annoiano
I am the proud owner of this original release on vinyl, including the functioning zipper. As you would expect, the record itself is practically unplayable, but it's a cool piece of history to own. As for the album itself, this is definitely the Rolling Stones' best showing. That being I am not much of a Stones fan, I'm not all that captured by them even at their best.
Meh. Wild horses was good.
Essensen af 60’er rock, mick jagger er udødelig
Ég er ekki mikill Stones aðdáandi. Varla að ég endist gegnum heila plötu. Hún er ekkert slæm þessi, mér leiðist bara sándið þeirra.
Brown Sugar and Bitch are standouts, but overall this was a relatively easy listening experience, good for the background.
Meh. I thought I’d like this, but nope. I must have been thinking about other albums of theirs.
oh hey i know this one
Never been a big fan of Mick Jagger and thus, never gave the Stones a decent chance. Was pleasantly surprised by this album and can see why it's counted as one of their best. Knew more songs than I thought I would. Can't You Hear Me Knocking was my fave.
Please stop giving classic rock i beg u. good album tho you gotta move docks one star and fatigue docks another
Well mixed with some classics, not sure if listen to it all again though
A couple good songs, but I'm just not a fan... Wild Horses is the best song on here. You Gotta Move made my body tense up.
Nice rock
I knew a few of the songs...overall pretty good.
Normal
ну... это, без сомнения, роллинг стоунз. самые обычные роллинг стоунз играют свою самую обычную музыку — без перекосов в слишкомое говнище (за исключением трека You Gotta Move, это совсем непотребство какое-то), но и без значимых хайлайтов. Понравилась барабанная работа на некоторых песнях, ну и Джаггер, когда хочет, может не только двигаться, но и петь. мемы про сваггер оставлю генсеку, а больше особо сказать и нечего — разве что признаться, что даже это лучше, чем большинство работ битлов. 3/5
Ok
Same as last listen;-). Enjoyable enough, just not my bag man. Plus, that album art is nauseating.
My MIL walks in the house and was like “This is MY music”
FT: Brown sugar
Very good
Ist jenseits der Steppe mit dem „Wild Horses“ am Horizont bereits die Skyline von Sellout Town zu erkennen? Raffgieriges Manegement vor den Türen ruft „can‘t you hear me knocking“. Nun sind die Stones ihren muddy waters nicht komplett entstiegen. Wohl etwas länger als eine „Moonlight Mile“ ist es noch hin zum Müngersdorfer Stadion. Eine gewisse Gereiztheit an sich und gegenüber des Zirkuslebens kann zu genannten Oden inspirieren aber auch ermüden.
Find ich super, die hier so kurz nach der Vorgängerplatte Let it Bleed zu hören. Stil klar weiterentwickelt, man sagt dem Blues (und Brian Jones) erstmal Servus und hat jetzt Bock auf die 70er und Schweinerock (hallo Mick Taylor!). Gefällt mir gut, Highlights auf den ersten Durchgang waren Sway, Can‘t you hear me knockin‘ und Sister Morphine (hallo auch Marianne Faithful!). Aber ich muss mal weniger Vieren geben hier.
Nothing really caught my ears.
This was much more listenable than the previous two albums by Rolling Stones. Good Bluesy stuff.
Eh
Not bad, not really impressed or moved any particular way. 5/10, the physical zipper on some of the records are cool
Rolling stones ya know, classic songs on here of course but not my style generally
fun to listen to but once again not something i would listen to regularly
Another album that's fine but just kind of "meh" to me. It didn't strike me as anything particularly special or exciting
wild horses is wonderful. All others are standard stones, which is grand but not my cuppa tea.
A couple of good ones - Wild Horses a classic
Can't you hear me knockin!
It's fine.
honestly didn’t think this was a particularly strong album, but some of the songs were really stand out tracks, most of the songs just took too long to get good. 3.5
Good one
It's alright. You can really hear the appropriation of Black music genres like the blues. More slow songs than I expected.
Good
Aloin kuuntelemaan tätä hieman varautuneesti, koska Rollarien bluesrock-touhu ei ole ikinä oikein iskenyt itseeni. Levyltä kuitenkin löytyi väsyneen rokkiveivaamisen lisäksi muutama todella herkullinen slovari. Varsinkin ennestään tuttu Wild Horses, I Got The Blues ja Moonlight Mile olivat oikein päteviä fiilistelybiisejä. Ei edelleenkään nouse lempparibändieni joukkoon, mutta kai tämän voisi ihan positiiviseksi yllätykseksi laskea.
Like the genre, like the music, not among my favourites More country influence than expected
I enjoyed much more than I thought. I shot off amazing songs. A little slower than ib though too.
noice i think . rolling stones
Good album, sad bop ish if you’re in the mood ya kno. Could also listen high. Just a solid Rolling Stones vibe u kno what it issss
Not their greatest Album but still ok.
Classic.
Some office-chair-swaying from me, but nothing I'd whack out Shazam to, if I heard it come on and I didn't know what it was.
Favourite songs: bitch, wild horses, you gotta move
Decent record. Although I don't think it's a great album, I did enjoy listening to it quite a bit.
Better than Beggars. In particular, the instrumentation and arrangement were much more interesting while still sounding raw. Still middling. There are apparently six Stones albums in the book; I'll have to see what I think of the other four.
Not bad!
quintessential classic rock, didn't realize it had so much other instrumentation (besides guitars)
Can see the evolution from The Doors LA Woman. Rougher texture. They all kinda blended together. Proves to be that The Rolling Stones are overrated. Maybe this sound was new at the time, but it sounds basic to me.
So boring
Despite its legendary status, Sticky Fingers ultimately falls flat, weighed down by dated 2009 production and vocals that fail to resonate. While moments of inspiration break through—particularly when the band leans into gritty blues-rock on "You Gotta Move," the high-energy punch of "Bitch," or the jazz and sax accents found on "Brown Sugar" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"—the rest of the album struggles to leave an impression. Heavy hitters like "Dead Flowers" and the hyped opener "Brown Sugar" feel more like generic sports-bar background noise than masterpiece material, and the attempted grand finale of "Moonlight Mile" completely misses the mark. It's a classic case of rock-history hype not matching the actual listening experience, earning a lackluster 2/5.
Esperaba mucho más por ser de los Rolling Stones. La verdad que no lo disfruté mucho.
The most boring, and perhaps overrated, rock album of all time. Not actively bad, just not remotely exciting to listen to.
very underwhelming start{?} love the concept of this website but im excited for what is next, did not finish the album but i can see why people would like it, simply not my vibe. 3/10
They certainly do some great singles, but I'm not finding anything of the same quality buried in the albums
The Rolling Stones are boring.
2 - Some great riffs and vocals, but some cringe/creepy lyrics in Brown Sugar set the tone early as something I don't want to listen to again.
Good enough
it was a bit too country for my taste. frankly, i wanted to rip my ears off while listening to ''you gotta move''. there were solid songs on the album so i'm not gonna hate. classic 70's rock album. it was fine but three stars seem generous.
Not a big fan. Too simple bluesy sound ain't for me
Nog steeds geen fan, als de blues rock niet beter is dan de originele blues moet je het niet doen of naar luisteren. Paar natte ballads en wat cherrypicking van verschillende muziek stijlen zonder het echt te doorgronden.
Opzich kan ik hier kort over zijn. Ik heb het geluisterd en er zijn mij niet perse nieuwe dingen opgevallen aan dit album, gewoon het gebruikelijke recept van the Rolling Stones. Daarom geef ik het ook mijn gebruikelijke 2 sterren.
It had very nice highs but some boring lows and his voice is a little annoying.
I'm burned out by the list and it's repeating bands
Every song sounds the same- same guitar tone. The harmonies are whiney and almost sour. But I still like it better than other Rolling Stones albums Ive had to listen to so far.
Meh
I just don't think anything will ever get me to like the Rolling Stones. I find Mick Jagger's voice unpleasant to listen to.
A fairly pedestrian effort to be considered a Stones “classic”. It helps to reveal how weak their catalogue is once you get past the hits.
Something about the mix of this felt off? I’m sure headphones that have been through the washing machine several times is not how them stones intended the music to be heard but idk the compression maybe? I liked what was happening but didn’t actually really enjoy listening to it. A collection of songs i’d prefer to hear performed by a drunk choir i think.
I know it’s blasphemy to say anything negative against the Rolling Stones but this album was fine.
Brown sugar was good, good musicians bad singers
I never really liked their honky tonk style
Quite boring and all sounded very samey. Not memorable.
Boring album with no ambition. I'm already put off by some of rolling stones lyrics so I have no desire to pay attention to them here. 2
I know they are legends but it feels so dated
Dieu cette cover … aller au moins pour les harmos de wild horses. Can’t you hear me knocking est cool.
Para ser honesta, aprecié las canciones y el álbum en general. Sin embargo, no es el tipo de música que suelo escuchar. Me encanta la música de los años 70, es mi época favorita, y por eso pude valorarlo. Los elementos de country en algunas canciones hicieron que me resultara un poco más difícil disfrutarlo completamente. Mi calificación sería un 2 de 5, no porque la música sea mala, sino simplemente porque no es el género que prefiero escuchar.
I was underwhelmed by this one. I can sort of see the appeal, but it just isn't for me.
There's some decent songs here, but mostly not so much. I don't get the appeal of the Stones. They're not that good and never have been.
I was never a Stones fan, but it's still good.
Not my cup of tea but instrumentals sound very good. Give me cowboys, indie western, end scenes in movies. I could only listen to this if I ride a fucked up car travelling to a far city or at the end of a party I ended up being sad drunk at.
This is my second Rolling Stones album and l am as bored as when I listened to the first one. It's not horrible, but not good imo. It doesn't have that wow factor that keeps me interested.
First song icky. How is this the same album that banger Wild Horses is on… crazy.
I liked this more than the previous Stones albums I’d listened to, but I would be lying if I said it converted me to a fan, or to even understand the hype. I really don’t know these just don’t seem to land with me like they do with other people. It’s definitely not bad, but it’s just not moving the needle for me in any notable way.
I never realized this until curving out a full album - maybe the Rolling Stones have good songs, but not great albums?
Chiller than I was expecting, but also I think they found their vibe in their popular stuff
Good album. "Wild Horses" is such a great song. I enjoy Susan Boyle's audition version on AGT.
No fue de mi agrado
not so meins
Are the Rolling Stones the most over rated band in history?
Not really a fan. There are a few stand-out songs on here like Brown Sugar & Wild Horses, but other than that, it feels kind of samey and overall uninteresting to me. Not something I hate, but probably wouldn't listen to it again.
I am in the camp of people that believe The Rolling Stones are unbelievably overrated. Here is the catch that separates them from other overrated bands... when they write a good song its AMAZING. This album is a clear cut example of that, 2 flat out great songs, 2 decent songs and the rest sounds like the majority of their catalog, messy and not messy in a good way. I would say half of this record is 4 stars and rest is 2. 3 stars it is. Special shout out to the dick print.
Not a fav Stones record.
I think i preferred it when they were doing Honky Tonk than whatever this is. A middling of the road “classic”. Boring. 2/5
70s blues rock by rich white men continues to be the thing I reliably dislike most on this list. Musically, I actually enjoyed this, though. It's much more about the groove than about macho posturing guitar solos etc. Lyrically, however, it contains some of the most eye-watering misogyny and racism I've heard in this project so far, which is really saying something. 'Brown Sugar'is absolutely not something anyone should have to hear EVER, let alone something everyone needs to hear before they die.
Mi ha fatto abbastanza schifo. Tutte le canzone mi sembrano super banali e già sentite (probabilmente perchè l'album ha influenzato la musica rock).
Im so meh on this album, I wouldn't turn this off if someone wanted to play it, but I would never willing choose to listen to this. I can understand it's importance I'm just so utterly uninterested in it. I like some of the blues influences I guess.
First time listen Pretty uninteresting dad rock for me. I can see that it's well produced but it doesn't do much for me. Fav track: Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile Least fav: Brown Sugar, I Got The Blues
Ещё один переоценённый альбом в списке. Тоскливая жвачка от Роллингов
There's a couple good songs in there and the rest is filler, 2/5.
maybe this isn't my genre. felt slow, save for brown sugar- i liked that one. the rest of the songs didn't stand out to me. maybe they might for another person but not me.
will give another listen but rating a 2 for now
Wild Horses
Brown Sugar is an insane opening song, lyrically only. None of these songs are insane musically. I could not tell where one song started and another ended. It was less boring than previous albums, so 2 ⭐️ I guess.
lwk dont knw what to say here its ass at first but aint tht bad the more u think abt it but i js wouldnt listen to this, fairs to the ppl tht like it
Continued proof to me that The Rolling Stones have never made an album that's enjoyable from start to finish. There are a couple of good moments here, sure, but they're just that: moments that exist between some of the most hollow fake swagger I':be ever heard put to tape. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" has a killer riff, but everything else on here is skippable.
FAVS (top 3): brown sugar, wild horses, i got the blues mençoes honrosas: cant you hear me knocking, bitch, sister morphine ah gente grandes coisas mo nada a ve poderia morrer sem ter ouvido esse sinceramente nota final: 2/5
Mediocre band playing mediocre songs. I just can't get into the stones.
Kult rocka sound men for meg nå utfordrer det meg ikke altfor mye og det fester seg ikke helt. Lyttet dog mens jeg jobbet som kan ha noe å si.
this was whatever. i listened to it while cleaning and honestly kept checking to see if it was over. +1 star for wild horses
Boring upbeat. 2/5
The Rolling Stones haven't won me over yet, and this album isn't changing that. Favorite track(s): "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Moonlight Mile" weren't too bad.
Mid
23:51 nisam fan moram priznati, ne dopada mi se uopšte, ali mi pogrešno djeluje da dam The Rolling Stones niske ocjene, … iskreno boli me uvo
5/10 - the distinctive rolling stones sound, it's alright
Rawk on
This album starts off with Brown Sugar and I'm not sure it ever really gets any better. But at least it doesn't get worse! And at least if you ignore the lyrics, it sounds cool I guess!
Honestly, can never get into the rolling stones, but they do a great job of dragging me kicking and screaming to a certain era of music. Banana:fruit as Rolling Stones:Early Rock, n'at.
Was not a big fan of this album, funny, I have heard some of these songs before and didn't know it was by them. I skipped a lot of songs, unfortunately.
Not for me. Too much filler.
niet zo mijn ding
Eh I didn't love it
fine not sold tho
Aside from "wild horses" there's not much to note. The last half of the album almost sounds like they're doing a parody
Not my type of music
idgaf rolling stones
ok
i didnt like it that much tbf, not my style of music, too unhinged
I've only heard Brown Sugar before this and while a pretty good song, it's hard to hear it as "one of the top then greatest records in the history of rock’n’roll ". This at the time when Black Sabbath was putting out "Master of Reality" and had already released "Paranoid". Or Pink Floyd's "Meddle" or The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jethro Tull, Santana, Deep Purple and so on. Led Zeppelin's album with "Stairway to Heaven" came out the same year, for fex sakes! Personally, I've never been much of an fan, for me Rolling Stones has been the vanilla of rock 'n roll, kind of like Elvis brought watered down black music to the masses, I feel Rolling Stones made hard rock but watered down and to suit everyone. The album is quite a bit spread out stylistically, usually that's not a bad thing, but the width of styles on this one is enough to make it feel very inconsistent. Also, too many ballads. Upon listening to the album, I did get quite positively surprised by few tracks. Namely Bitch and Sway.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...was convincing boomers that The Rolling Stones weren't dog shit.
Too old
Mueeeeeeeeeeeeh
Definitely not my style
I prefer music with more lyrics than instrumental
sounded like sad country, not my cuppa tea
2.5/5 A few good songs but I only rated 3 songs 3/5 so it gets a 2
Is with this album that I think I can confidently say that blues rock is not my thing. I didn't like the previous Rollings Stone's album that I had to hear, that would be 'Beggars Banquet', and I also not crazy about The Doors or Janis Joplin, just to bring some examples of what I saw was considered Blues Rock. And also I'm not a fan of country rock. So anyone reading this should have an idea of where I'm going to. I did not like this album. I find it to be quite bland and uninteresting. The only songs I can say I liked were 'Bitch', because I really liked the energy and the horns in the chorus; and 'Sister Morphine', a very slow and emotional track about the dependency of drugs and their withdrawal. I would also like to say that I liked 'Brown Sugar', as it is also one of the most energetic tracks, but the lyrics are so terrible and aged incredibly bad. People from this time had an unhealthy obsession with teenagers... Now let's continue talking about what I didn't like. 'Wild Horses' is a painful acoustic country ballad, 'You Gotta Move' is a boring blues track, 'I Got the Blues' feels overdramatic, 'Dead Flowers' and 'Moonlight Mile' have a very irritating country twang and the rest is forgettable. It is the worst I've hear from this list? Nope. As much as I didn't like it, it wasn't that draining as other albums.
i'll admit i only listened to half of it sorry but it sounded nice to my ears
A lot of songs about drugs, and rhythms to accompany your own drug usage
Ok this album has some groove but I can’t really get over Mick Jagger’s strange impression of a honky tonk guy with the very British-sounding (cheesy) choruses. Like, why? At the same time, I can see how an album like this would influence future generations of folk rock guys.
Not the biggest fan as I feel they have made better albums such as Some Girls. But still liked the great riffs in this album and its bluesy vibe.
Really liked some of the guitar riffs here, but mostly bounced off this one
