Let It Bleed (studio album) by The Rolling Stones

Side one opens and ends with absolute classic stones tracks but it's side two where this album really shines, for me side one is let down by a couple of mediocre tracks and could have the listener thinking this is an overated album , thankfully side two is incredible

Definitely one of the greatest records the Stones ever made. Three classic tracks and superb playing all around. 9.5/10.

Beggars Banquet on steroids this has classics such as Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man and You Can’t Always Get What You Want. The other tracks are good too. A top 3 album for me.

The best Stones album

One of, if not the best studio album the Stones have released. Contains some of their best ever tracks. Golden age for them.

There is some truly top tier Rolling Stone's songs on here but they are held back by the filler that drags this record down. These weaker tracks, while they still are instrumentally exciting, aren't as captivating or engaging as the elite level songs. The two strongest examples of this are Live With Me and Country Honk as neither demand your attention and just float past you which means by the end of the record you can barely remember how they even go. On the other hand, you do have arguably two of the Stone's greatest ever songs which bookend the record. Both Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are personal favourites of mine and they open and close the release brilliantly. They are full of depth and experimentation making them instantly grab your attention as they showcase the fantastic talents the group has to offer. If only the rest of the songs on here could live up to the quality on these tracks then we would probably have the best record ever made. Overall, this release is inconsistent and so in my opinion can't be amongst the greatest but it still is very solid and is thoroughly enjoyable to experience.

Solid album

Gimme Shelter is a great opener, but then the album drags a little with the next three songs after. But then the whole second half makes up for it.

Although I listened to this album 4 times, I still don't know how I feel about it. I love Gimme Shelter which is in my top 10 songs of all time and there are other solid tracks here Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want, but on the other
there are tracks that I don't like at all Love In Vain Country Honk.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Album of the year. 1969. Top tier Stones, would be in my top 3 along with Sticky Fingers and Exile... The hardest part is to decide in which order!!
