Amanda: So way back when, Brie and I reviewed another Rolling Stones album and were underwhelmed. Now, this album is supposed to be the greatest thing the Stones ever came with, but I still found myself not enjoying it. The last song on the album has been so overplayed by now that I am frankly sick of it. Of course, I shouldn't judge the album for this but it still got on my nerves. "Let It Bleed" was obnoxious to me as well. I will take the Beatles any day.
RATING: 3/5
About half the album contains what I would call blues, and I find it vastly more enjoyable than the blues on their previous albums. Especially "Love in Vain". The only thing I didn't care for is "Country Honk" not nearly as good as the single version. The album is very well produced, you get a good portion of interesting sounds in addition to great guitar. And their best set of songs.
