"The Rolling Stones, shacked up in a French estate, dressed like pirates and loaded, produce a double album that reveals something new every time you listen to it. Maybe not my number one album ever, but without a doubt one of the coolest."  Reply

"An excellent record, easily up there with the Stones’ best work. Brown Sugar was the big hit, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is very highly rated, Wild Horses is just sublime, and I’m really loving Sway at the moment too. The last 3 tracks are also quite fascinating - Sister Morphine is wonderfully d..."  [+]  Reply

"Possibly the most consistent Stones album in that there isn't a bad track here. The obvious tracks of note are Sympathy For The Devil and Street Fighting Man of course, both of which have made it onto many compilations over the years, but Factory Girl, Salt Of The Earth, No Expectations and Dear ..."  [+]  Reply

"I absolutely hate their version of "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)", but every other track on this album is really good. Coming out of their mid-70s slump, this album feels like the band being reenergised and discovering their youth. I guess you can thank punk and disco for that. "Mis..."  [+]  Reply

"Despite being largely an "odds and sods" collection of leftovers from previous albums, it works amazingly well as its own album and IMO is the last true classic Stones album before overpriced nostalgia tours and endless Greatest Hits recyclings became the norm."  Reply

"They never did anything like this before, nor after. Many say, and I agree to a certain extent, that this was an attempt to match 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. There may have been some self-inflicted peer pressure to do something psychedelic but I don't see 'Sgt Pepper' as..."  [+]  Reply

"Easily the best early Stones album. Some great covers of artists like Sam Cooke and Roosevelt Jamison along with Mick and Keith's songwriting getting noticeably better. Great tracklisting, not a single song I don't like and Mick's vocals are stellar. High recommendations for anybody newer to the ..."  [+]  Reply
