Yep this. I really dig the sound they're going for on this and it's my fav by them. A coupla songs don't fit that well (I particularly don't like "Street Fighting Man") but I really enjoy riding on the sliding tracks.

You're totally right. Street Fighting Man doesn't fit. Great song, but out of place.

As a bonus, its cover art would influence countless punk rock club bathroom walls. javascript:emoticon('8-[')

I adore this album. They nailed the rootsy blues rock sound they were going for. My favourite tracks are probably Sympathy, Dear Doctor and Prodigal Son.

um. ok. Really?! I'm baffled by the lack of love for this masterpiece. After floundering (just a little bit) with psychedelia, this is where The Stones found and perfected their sound which they would simply tweak for the rest of their career. And that sound that they developed was just pure genius and utterly unique. Henceforth, countless bands would be complacent to mine this terrain. From a certain perspective, it would not be crazy to call this Alternative Country. Because that's what they did with this release. They made white trash hillbilly music hip. As I said, genius!

Their second best behind Let It Bleed, but it's super close. This album is fantastic though, one of my absolute favorites.

It's been a long, long time since I've listened to Rolling Stones but I'm kind of getting the urge to go back and relisten to some of their albums. I've always really enjoyed Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed, and there's some fantastic stuff on this album too. Maybe I'll make that a goal for this weekend.

Sympathy For The Devil is class, as usual. The rest of the album was quite underwhelming though. I don't know, The Rolling Stones never stood out to me as great, they're alright and that's it.

Jig-saw Puzzle and Stray Cat Blues are old favourites. It's just behind Let it Bleed as the greatest Stones album.

The sound of the Stones finding themselves. I definitely consider it part of their classic period and might even prefer it to Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed. You can't go wrong with any of those four, though.

Sympathy For The Devil is class, as usual. The rest of the album was quite underwhelming though. I don't know, The Rolling Stones never stood out to me as great, they're alright and that's it. But, then again, this is the only album I've heard from them.

My third fav stones' album (Behind Exile & Some Girls)

Sympathy and No Expectations are my favorites

No expectations is my second favorite stones song, fucking beautifull piano. Love the lyrics, amazing guitar progression, and that littles guitar solos ( or whatever it is) it is just freaking wonderfull

Darn good album but it pales in comparison to Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile On Main St. (Their next 3 LPs). Why I feel that way? Idk, I guess the production here doesn't pop out at me the way their next albums do, also the songwriting is much more earthy feeling here and less rocking or even less balanced than their 3 classics.

But whatever, I still think this is pretty good, just not great. I would actually rank Aftermath over this too.

I'm head over heels for this album. My favorite by the Stones. "Jigsaw Puzzle" is easily one of my all time favorite songs.
