Satanic Majesties was a milestone LP. Most underrated Stones LP of all...
I loved that album and YES it most definitely was a milestone marking the beginning period of the Rolling Stones best music they ever made 1967-1973
I agree. It ranks among one of my favorite Stones LPs. In my opinion, their sound fell into mediocrity after Some Girls. Other faves are It's Only RocknRoll, Goatshead Soup, Sticky Fingers, and the best yet, Let It Bleed.
Citadel, She's a rainbow, and 2000 light years from home are the best songs on this album. Great job on narration!
also 2000 Man is a great song
is the narrator overdosing on caffeine??? i have to play him at 75% speed.
This channel is so underrated
Yes
YUP
Yeah
Isn't it? It's almost like the slick appearance and production lead me to believe that it must be in some way shallow. I was mistaken. The passion is real. Great channel
It's honestly criminal
My favorite Stones album, but I was a teen when it came out, and definitely valued the album's ability to "blow my mind". The short era of psychedelic popularity (late 1966 to mid 1968) is my favorite period of popular music. It's great to see what the younger generation thinks of it. I'm glad that its real gems still communicate to those who didn't experience the period themselves.
Neo psych is great too...
Tame impala- lonerism
Temples- sun structures
Foxygenforst album
brother i was there the same time as you and i was deep into this album....and most other stones albums. love your dylon motif
Your story matches mine. I heard this album in '87 (I was 19 or 20) and it has always been my favorite Stones' release. The whole thing is great, to my ears, even "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)".
One more reason I love “A Whiter shade of pale!” Was that the AM radio stations played it because they didn’t understand the psychedelic lyrics.
This is what I would write as well. I used to love getting real buzzed and let the trip take me where it went. It was as close to being there as I could get. 60's music was and still is a great trip.
She's a rainbow is a mega tune
an incredible tune ..but you have to listen to Arthur Lee's song..She comes in colors (colours) on the DeCapo l.p. then get back to me..I feel that gave them the idea...
And Arthur had never been to London at this point ...the third l.p. is perhaps the best one..forever Changes..
Glad they gave Rainbow Orchestral arrangements props to John Paul Jones
Nicky Hopkins. For the rookies who don't know who, a marvelous pianist.
Yes 2000 light years from home is great too
Also: Charlie's drumming is superb throughout.
No surprise there, Dennis, he was always very solid. Stones' Ringo...))
Had seen a video on Charlie a few weeks before he died, very p/o'd when he died, he was getting up there, but tragically unexpected. Seemed vax related, not sure, but a bummer.
is the narrator overdosing on caffeine??? i have to play him at 75% speed.
Charlie's parts are superb and well-produced. Bill's bass on the other hand is overly compressed, is too far down in the mix, and lacks punch.
@@jackielitten2865 - absolutely. Satanic seems to lack the anchor of other albums.
"2000 Light Years from Home" sounds like Piper-era Floyd.
UncannyValleyVideos yeah, but much more polished and carefully structured, which isn’t a bad thing at all, quite opposite in fact.
Pink Floyd with Mick Jsgger....
I hear Syd in "In Another Land"
Not at all.
You should review Pink Floyd Piper At The Gates Of Dawn!
Yeah, and make it the mono mix.
psychedelicpiper I would prefer a comparison between the mono and remastered stereo mix.
psychedelicpiper What are the technical reasons you prefer mono to stereo? I like the effects with headphones that stereo gives but am interested in your reasoning in this :) 1
OH YES! I couldn't agree more. Great idea.
Best psychedelic album by far
The Beatles took influence from Pet Sounds to make Sgt Peppers so why can’t someone else take influence from The Beatles
Just look at the cover, one thing influence another thing is blatantly copying, without even trying to make it a bit different
Brendan McCabe pet sounds was inspired by rubber soul. The most important album ever. And the Beatles were not influenced by pet sounds, but by revolver. And this album is one example the stones were only copying the Beatles.
Bob van Limburg the Beatles are my favourite band and stones second and beach boys I think are ok but for me most of there songs sound the same and more of a greatest hits band but the Beatles were influenced by pet sounds but more importantly they thought it was so good it made them put more effort in to remain the best band in the world it really brought out their competitive streak! And I don’t think the stones were copying but just wanting to do there own psychedelic album as well and why not if I was 23/4 on acid, Rich, and allowed to do what I wanted in the studio I would to, and lots of bands were doing it so it’s unfair to say that everyone was copying each other! Sooo take that one to heart and store it there for when you need to be humbled boyee!! 🤠
@@BobvanLimburg don't forget Freak out.
Being influenced, and blatantly ripping off are two VERY different things ...
Very underrated album, Citadel is amazing.
Yea, I love it!
Uncle Squiddz Great song. Love it!
Doesn't sound like anything else. Great Album. Their last album considering their age was quite inpressive-vitality-playing,but it also was nothing really that fresh or unique.
Best song on the album. Always been a favorite of mine. Had it been released as a single, it would have been a huge hit!
Brian's Mellotron on, "2000 Light Years From Home"! So different from anything else the Stones wrote. Great album!
It is IMPORTANT to note that the album DOES NOT begin with "Sing This Song All Together". It starts with the Carnival Barkers luring us to the party that is about to begin. The album opens up with Nicky Hopkins playing that beautiful, harpsichord like, piano imitation of a music box in one of the premier psychedelic pieces of all time, "She's A Rainbow". If you play the album in this order it not only makes more sense as a presentation, you will understand the joke that the Stones are playing by calling the album "Satanic". In the Satanic ethos everything is backwards or upside down. How do I KNOW that this is how the Stones were looking at this? The original album is NOT labeled SIDE 1 and SIDE 2. It is labeled FRONT SIDE and BACK SIDE. I don't know about you but I often start with the back side! Now look at the songs! I have already mentioned the Carnival Barker getting us to come and join in on the fun. What song ends the BACK SIDE of the album? Why its, "On With The Show". Hardly the name of a song that ends an album. So NOW we turn the record over to the FRONT SIDE and we are asked to help the Rolling Stones, "Sing This All Together". We can see that the song now makes more sense at this point in the festivities, where we are all a lot looser and more in the mood for partying! After all that was what this record was made for! We are being asked to join in on a Rolling Stones Party! Kinda like that Beach Boys Party album, except now the keg has been replaced with joints! At the end of the FRONT SIDE we get to reprise, "Sing This All Together". By now we all know the words and can join in! At the end of the song we hear what appears to be the denouement and a final piano note that seems to playfully mock the final chord of "Sgt. Pepper". We think that this is the end but before we can get up and take the needle off of the record.....surprise! Instead of having the run out groove like the Beatles Sgt. Pepper, there is this odd other worldly track tacked on at the end that seems to meander aimlessly and dissonantly off into the distant fog. That's odd you think. I wonder what that is supposed to be? I had always heard it that way until a friend of mine told me to turn the speed up on the turntable for that one cut. The rest is history! I can never hear that track now the way I first heard it! (For one thing the orange barrels are all gone) But best wishes and Merry Christmas anyhow from me and the 1967 Rolling Stones! I honestly feel sad for all of you who weren't there with us at the time! But if you listen closely you can still hear those vibes echoing out from the distant past! Everything was magical AND, anything was possible! Even partying with the Rolling Stones!
gotta go dig out theLP thx
The carnival barker noises open She’s a Rainbow on the album (but not on the single version), no Sing This Song All Together
I was born in 1960 and lived one block away from a University. I could feel that vibe you described, it was thick in the air everywhere. Everything was possible. A card board box with a picture of the Mercury space capsule on the outside was a magic rocket ship to anywhere in the universe. In our yard it was real and I could fly to the stars. The music would echo through the trees at night from a nearby college band playing rock music.
I loved the 60’s and early 70’s but it all began to unravel in the 60’s and by 1973 it was just a dream of an era gone by. The murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK made sure of it. We had Woodstock then Charlie Manson. We lost Jimmy, Janice and Jim. The early 70’s was still pretty cool but by 73 it was gone. The Vietnam War sucked the marrow dry with it’s many sins committed on those forced to go and othe 58,000 who had their lives taken away from them for no real reason. The 3 million who died at the hands of American weaponry. Nothing was ever the same again. The military industrial complex had it’s hooks dug in. I carry the 60’s vibe in my soul with me as a child of the moon, it’s with me today. I loved “Their Satanic Majesty’s Request” the critic A-🕳’s 💩all over it. Thanks for your interesting and astute comments about the album. In my humble opinion the stone’s music from 67 to 71, 72 was magical and amazing. They captured the vibe on those albums and I love to listen to them still. Goat’s Head Soup was a fine album. Great tracks on it like Angie, Heartbreaker - with your 44!, Winter, Coming Down Again, Dancing with Mr. D, Can You Hear The Music, and Star Star were my favorites. The last really amazing song from their hay day “It’s only rock and roll” but I like, like it, like it yes I DO was the last of that Stone’s sound I loved so much. Some Girls was really very good but the earlier magic of the 60’s was just a dream of a day gone by. There were some other gems later like She’s So Cold 🥶. But anytime I want I can pull out their music and just visit my friends who made some of the very best rock and roll I have ever heard and as a musician I thanks them for the influence they have had on my own music. I carry them with me in my heart. I got to see them twice in concert. The last one in 2015. They played Moonlight Mile!!!! Love that one!!!!
Wow, brilliant. Never thought of it like that, but I believe it.
I really enjoy how your channel sees music from every angle and isn't biased. Also, your look is absolutely fantastic!
I always have to remind myself that the Stones self-produced this album. It’s a surprisingly satisfying album considering it was just the band left to their own vices.
I've always had a soft spot for this album. It has some of my favourite Stones songs and is so unique in their catalogue. I think that Sticky Fingers is my favourite but this is the one I tend to go back to the most.
I loved that album since day one. It is still an artistic inspiration for me some 50 plus years later.
Brian Jones was a true genius. This is his album.
is the narrator overdosing on caffeine??? i have to play him at 75% speed.
Review the Kinks' Arthur (Or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
Practically anything by The Kinks is worth reviewing (My personal favorite being Something Else)
One of my favourite albums. I've got a rare original Australian pressing, which is one of the most valuable in the collection. There's not a bad song on it and it's a shame the TV special that was set to be made using the music from the album was canned at the last minute.
The Kinks Forever
The village green preservation society is my favorite.
Great album, great band, great songwriter.
I doubt you'll read this, but I wanted to say that this channel is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for creating such quality content, with great writing, editing and production. Keep on keepin' on
"in another land"is my favorite!!! the mental imagery it inspires is cool!!! "and the trees grew high, and the feathers floated by..."
Yes
Magnificent song by Bill
Jones was indeed the braintrust behind the Stones shaping their sound and image. He’s brilliant on Lady Jane
I prefer The Mick Taylor era.
The ear for what instruments would fit was on point but I do wish they brought in people who had experience playing the instruments. Imagine a song like Paint it Black with someone like Shankar complimenting Keith’s ridfing
@@williamfarroll5252 Brian Jones sitar playing was all over that track. Keith was an afterthought!🤔
The marimba on under my thumb, the recorder on ruby tuesday, the sitar on paint it black transformed those tunes, among their best.
Jack Nitzsche on harpsichord is superb
Thank you for the very positive track by track review. This is my favorite Stones album. Several I purchased in first run as Get your ya-yas, Sticky Fingers, Exile, etc. This is not at all a copy cat of Beatles: As you detail, it is a work of art done under a time of personal and society upheaval. Popular bands had relationships evidenced by actual work together, the use of their Mobile Studio and the various album covers. This was also a time of self reflection such as Brian Jones stating being a "Rolling Stones" wouldn't last his life. This album is best enjoyed with your own drug of choice: LSD was legal in USA until 1966, I believe. That connection, w/ now illegal drugs, and what amounted to a poor chosen title (how much different if it retained "Cosmic Christmas") caused many to forget this album. Thanks again for your though and kind spirited review .
'2000 light years from home' is classic.
Love all your reviews, but this is such an in-depth analysis of an obscure and certainly underrated stones album! Must add my support to this. Thank you.
One of the most underrated 60's album I know, people always hate on it for being a Sgt. Pepper clone without taking the time to listen to it and it's so much more than that.
Pepper is one of my favourit albums . But the stones did a verry great job with their satanic......... .
Sergeant pepper was crap. This is nothing like Sergeant pepper other than being a psychedelic album. It's a masterpiece. Stones rule. The chicken s*** beetles ran away.
@@fppro1679 the beatles could've dropped the Stones anytime. Only Keith might have offered any resistance. But the Stones are mostly lower middle class Nancys. The Beatles MOSTLY upper working class genuine hardnocks
@@paulwiseman1668 I'm only interested in their music, not your ethnic stereotypes. Sergeant pepper still sucked.
@@fppro1679 satanic was an attempt by the stones to piss on the beatles, and they succeeded, peppers is crap and overrated while satanic is more psychedelic yet peppers is considered a beatles classic while satanic is considered a deviation from the stones norm, but the narative was written, that is beatles always better than stones, stones always copy the beatles etc, so many lies and at least today many will know the truth.
About that "Citadel" flute sound, I believe it is the mellotrone with some echo/delay. Mellotrone can have several sounds, one of them being the flute.
2000 Light Years From Home is such a great track, perhaps the best of the record
I remember when I heard She's a Rainbow for the first time. It was on the radio. The stereo version. The way the sounds moved from left to right and back really fascinated me. I got Through the past, darkly, in 1980.
I recently got TSMR on CD. I want the vinyl. Great review of what I feel is an underrated album. And that is a beautiful turntable you have.
Fantastic in-depth review. I really love these videos of yours.
Have a great weekend mate.
"Where's that joint?"
My favorite Stones album. I "may" play Pepper once a year but I play this album at least once a week. It's much more satisfying to my ears than SPLHCB. It's also better, imo. Doesn't sound predictable and orderly like their previous albums. A true creative act! Can't beat Bill Wyman's snoring at the end of In Another Land.
On with the show, good health to you!
The Stones copied The Beatles you fool. The Beatles went pychedelic and The Stones copied them.
Oh No! The Beatles superfan is mad again! What will we do?
I like your post but damn you gotta play pepper more often too lol
Satanic is better than Pepper. Pepper is a overrated pop album.
@@WickedTester176 get better taste in music that's what you do
finally wooo
I was happy to find a vintage 67 copy with the lenticular image.
It's cool that it was reissued for record store day as well.
I like to listen to this album with the back side first. That is the possible intention because the last track on back side is "on with the show"
mercurialmagictrees Yea, I got the Record Store Day release, it’s pretty cool.
Artamus Sumatra oh swell , I bet it looks and sounds excellent. The colored vinyl seemed very enticing.
mercurialmagictrees The cover looks great, very 3D, and the Stones turning their heads trick is very clear. I’ve been really busy, and haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but I’m stoked. I also got the Shocking Blue Singles Collection vol.1 which is on blue vinyl. Cool stuff indeed. 😁👍
mercurialmagictrees
The idea to start with side B is not so bad ! .... But Try this ::-
----- start "" The Life "-------
01 - On with the Show
02 - The Lantern
03 - We Love You
04 - Sing It all together
05 - In the Citadel
-----------------------------------------------------
---------- start to Dream --------------
06 - In Another Land
07 - Gomper
08 - 2000 Light Years
09 - Child of Moon
======================================
--- back to "Reality" -----
10 - Rainbow - kpl 4,35
11 - 2000 Man
12 - Jig Saw Puzzle
13 - Sing It All ... #2
====================================
see what happens then ....
My wife recently found a copy with the image on it in a thrift store! First issue and in great condition I already had a copy with just the regular image.....now I have both!
Love that your reviewing a more abstract album! Would love to see that in the future.
Citadel is actually my favorite track. I love this album and I never thought of this as a copy of Pepper.
It sounds really different from any Sgt Pepper's song in my opinion
The Stones At Their Most Experimental ...
Man, I love this album. Always have and some days I play it over and over again. Psychedelic Masterpiece!!!
this is my favorite Stones album, maybe you would start a new series of underrated or negleted albums, cheers ¡
Alejandro Rivera Excellent point!
Right up there for me too
It has always been one of my all-time favourite albums.
BertyFromDK Me too. It had an extraordinary sound and it stood high on its own amidst a whole lot of amazing records of that time.
@@soarornor Quite so. The late 60s to the mid-70s was such a great time for music.
Thanks so for this review, it's definitely one of your best yet.Amazing work.
Would love a review of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, one of the most perfect albums ever produced.
Such an AMAZING album!!!!!
Definitely agree brotha
In order to truly get the full effect of this album you would have had to have been in that space in time.
So much of this music was cutting edge then, and the creativity and sheer genius of their ability was on full display. These tracks are more than just a collection of songs, they represent a landmark in musical lore that defined an era that was unlike any other. It was a truly amazing record conceived during a truly amazing time.
Well said and so true. I was there then.
I love how when I think I know everything about an album but then decide to put on one of Vinyl Rewind's videos to find there's so much I didn't know about it at all. Gosh, I love this channel.
This has always painted pictures in my head, a real child of '67 creativity.
Great in-depth review & content overall. My only gripe is that Tim Buckley's "Goodbye and Hello" wasn't in your list of noteworthy 67' albums. There were so many amazing albums & debuts that year but I feel "Goodbye and Hello" deserves mentioning among the usual suspects & is definitely worth a listen & review.
Keep up the great work!
The only Stones Album I've ever heard full. Completely in love with this psichedelic piece of work.
You love the way they copied The Beatles.
@@Revolver1981 they were at most inspired by Sgt Pepper because the two albums sound nothing alike. You can’t tell me songs like Sing This All Together reprise sounds like any song on Sgt Pepper.
@@WickedTester176 It's a reprise. Copying the Beatles Sgt Pepper reprise. Come on lol.
It isn't Psychedelic like this album but you might enjoy 'Aftermath'. It has some of the Baroque Pop sound that preceded the full on Psychedelic sound that predominated in 1967 and it has numerous classic songs. It's another Stones album that has a depth of texture unusual in their catalogue.
@@Revolver1981 I'm a massive fan of The Beatles and have been for over thirty years, but, in all honesty, you sound like you're about 12. Seriously.
In 1968 I was in the US Army stationed in Germany. Being a Stones fan, I automatically bought every new Stones Album. With TSMR, I was particularly fond of 2000 LYFH, since it was about being lonely and a long way from home. One night, about midnight, while I was on CQ (Charge of Quarters) duty I put 2000LYFH on the turntable which was used for Parades, and cranked up the volume. It was glorious.
Thank you for sharing your story and for your military service 🇺🇸
Excellent review; really well done. I liked how you went into great detail on every song, with audio. The visuals too. You got all the facts right, and laid out with very hip attitude. Great channel.
2000 Light Years From Home, you hit the nail on the head. It's my favorite Stones song of the 60s.
The Stones have a lot of iffy albums, that is their charm. But even the iffy albums always have classics. If you want the Stones at their perfection, try Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Ya Ya's, Sticky and Exile. Those 5 are perfect Stones albums. You could also throw in Brussels Affair as well, bootleg or official release - bootleg is better.
For me, between the buttons is the best stones album - just for me!
Excellent review. Really enjoyed it. Lots of hard work put into this.
Amazing deep and lovely enthusiastic breakdown of this outlier Stones album. Fully enjoyed it, learned a lot. Subscribed.
I remember buying this album back in the 1960's. I listened to it once. I still have it. It's in perfect shape. I liked the cover more than the music.
As a fan who listened thousands of times to all the Rolling Stones albums and loves all their songs i think this is the greatest look at Their Satanic Majesties Request i`ve ever seen.
Very well researched and presented... thank you, vinyl geek!
I really appreciated watching your review. Well done. You have a lot more class than those who like to use expletives and are trying to be too over the top in their descriptions. Thanks for a very interesting video and a great review of a classic Stone's album that I hardly knew anything about!
Even though I didn't quite agree with your final verdict I enjoyed your review a lot!
Needless to say that I'm a great fan of this album!
Damn this is such a good review, the backstory makes things so interesting
You do a fantastic job describing the music, art and story. Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
I hope you take this as a compliment! You remind me of Casey Kasem! You are always a pleasure to listen too! Thank you!
I’m glad you reviewed this. So many just write it off as a cheap imitation of the Beatles. They were so much more. This album is adventurous. The Stones took a calculated chance. It didn’t pay off in the long run but I really like this.
The album is way better than overrated pop album Pepper.
I would love to see a reissue of the album with the cover actually covering the whole front of the release. Would look awesome!
Bera Viktor I've seen that already...
It would be to expensive
Yes
Hi! I'm a fan of your channel from Brazil, I'd like to congratulate you for your great videos and also for your so clear pronunciation in English, It makes things real easier for foreign fans like I am to understand what's being said. Thank you!
I've known a lot of people who were kids and young people in the Sixties and i can tell you that this album was huge at parties. When it wasn't on the turntable, it was being used to roll joints upon.
One of my top 5 Stones Albums. I just really love the sound and confusion surrounding this record. Even the A sides and B sides around this era have their charm.
I have always loved this album after all its very inovative, and i remember the day too when it was released, i was visiting a friend thst day, unfortunately no longer with us, having said that,it reminds me of those times, for me fairly happy days!!
This was really fun to watch thanks!
Nice review. Just discovered your channel - Great work man!
"2000 Light Years from Home" is one of the best songs of the 60s.
I recently got into the Stones and decided to pick up The Rolling Stones in Mono box set to get their complete 60's output, thanks for making this video with fantastic information, I really feel like I have a greater appreciation for this record now! I love your reviews a lot, would you consider doing Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin?
Most important music channel on RUclips!! Love the content! Dude is on point with his facts, opinions, and interpretation!
I love this album! A tumult of colour and sound, a perfect period piece and full of charm. Add to that the “We Love You” /“Dandelion” single half way through listening for an even better experience. Great episode!
I have never had a problem with this album i have always liked it and i remember when it was released, also reminds me of happy times as clear as yesterday, i like to measure time!
"Well my wife still respects me
I really misused her
I am having an affair
With the Random computer
Don't you know I'm a 2,000 man"
Jagger never got credit for calling the computer revolution back in 1967
Dont want to spoil youre party , but computer means in old greek . Fast thinker in calculating . Its like the song penny lane ( beatles ) and the bankerman wears a mac , in the pouring rain ...... which paul meant a raincoat and not a Macintosh . Please pardon my bad spelling .
Its their sgt pepper , love the stones . Great album , but personly , they gott so much great albums . Until 75 then it whent downhill . But they never faded away , which means a lot . Even for me .
@@patrickbooten7028 'the banker never wears a mac'* - also is there actually people that he was on about a mac computer? I take it a mac coat isn't a thing in America?
@@joshuastclair7725 hello joshua , just saying what macca told about that line . I,'m just a guy from belgium , my english isnt that well . But in context of 2000 man mick could be singing bout a computer . Who nows . But its a fact , that their satanic majestic is a great album . And i'm more a beatles listener . But i need my stones tunes to . Specialy sticky fingers , and the albums before 70 . Please pardon my bad spelling . I hope things are cleared up now . Greetings from belgium
I think more credit goes towards Star Trek which debuted a year earlier
A review that happily sums up this somewhat underestimated but very important album in the career of the Stones. Good job Mister Callero!
LOVE this channel!!! LOVE this album!!!
xoxo The Clarences
The whole album is a trip, the music and album art are great
The album is copying The Beatles. Dressing in psychedelic outfits like The Beatles on Sergeant Pepper.
@@Revolver1981 The point is the songs and art are great. Plus its way different from the beatles, I think people just saw psychedelic and thought the beatles but the songs on this album are versatile, some more experimental and more rock and roll. It was their take on the psych
@@a_bored_english_guy I like The Stones as well.
@@Revolver1981definitely took a lot from Sgt Pepper, some of the songs remind me of Piper at the Gates of Dawn too
I have worn the grooves out of this masterpiece of a record. This was the pinnacle of The Rolling Stones for me.
What is a groove? Drum beat?
Jon Foster Wore out the grooves on the vinyl itself.
Yes sir..
My favourite Stones album, I love lying back with it on the headphones.
Dude this video is excellent. The level of detail is very appreciated. You can tell how much you love this stuff. I’m excited to watch all of your videos. I have no idea if you’ve done any on CSNY but I hope so. They’re my current obsession.
This is one of the bitchinest albums ever made. 2000 light years from home is a masterpiece and it's worth buying the album just for that. It's a milestone and a statement on just how much diversity the stones have while staying true to their core. It's also a tribute to Jones, and an illustration of the loss of him and the band. Their sound changed measurably when he died.
I remember finding this in my Dad's record collection, and putting it on. It was the first time I listened to a Stones record. And the last.
You have much in common with a former twice impeached president.
I just discovered this channel last week...
he is the most diplomatic reviewer I have ever heard in my entire life and for that I am very appreciative... That being said I'm 55 yet the amount of information I have learned about Pink Floyd and The Beatles in regards to these albums reviews has just blown my mind...
Great review and the overview has me intrigued. This is one Stones album I have always passed on but you got me tempted to pick it up, just to give it a fair shake.
Possible one of the most underrated albums ever. A true masterpiece.
I loved this album ❤ when I was a kid. Totally loved it
First exposure to your channel. Fantastic video. Love 2000 Man, She’s a Rainbow, and 2000 light years from home.
Excellent review! Made me decide to buy a first edition. Greetings from Sweden!
Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request (first time I've noticed that Majesties is not possessive, thereby implying an ellipse [...] after the word) remain my two favorite Stones Albums for relaxing with headphones in a pitch black room with a little vegetable stimulation. I have all my original albums in covers that are in various states of use and abuse, with the lenticular cover making for a nice visual curiosity. Reviewing is something I'd hate to do, because it ends up being so subjective. Our own memories of our personal histories with each album and song can't help but color any objectivity we attempt to impart. Kudos...and I'll be looking for other reviews of yours.
Check out Brian Jonestown Massacre - “Their Satanic Majesties 2nd Request”!
Sam McMullan I came to the comments section to see if anyone would say anything about this album
I'm gonna check it out
Love TBJM.
Wonderful and insightful review mate. I have very fond memories of listening to this LP back in the late 80s in Australia when I was a teenager, along with the likes of 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' and Gong etc. There was something of a psychedelic revival at the time so there were many bodies and bands sporting paisley shirts, long hair, and pointy shoes etc. My fave tracks have to be 2000 Light Years from Home, 2000 Man (KISS covered it also!) and Citadel (I love the 'grungy' guitar on it) I do return to this album now and again and it brings back memories of those teenage years. I do love Let It Bleed as it has probably my favourite Stones tune Gimme Shelter, and was also created in the year I was born. Keep up the great work brother!
'2000 Man' is a terrific song!
I would like to know what drugs Mick was taking when he wrote,
'You know my wife still respects me, even though I really misuse her / I am having an affair with a random computer"
Got so high, he actually wrote the future!
Better living through chemistry!
2000 light years from home . My all time favorite stones tune .
Citadel is one of the best Stones track they ever produced imho
It's one of my favorite Stone songs !
just got yourself a new subscriber, young man 👍👍 rip Charlie 🕯
Still searching for an Original copy! You do this well. This cover always "haunted me"
It is IMPORTANT to note that the album DOES NOT begin with "Sing This Song All Together". It starts with the Carnival Barkers luring us to the party that is about to begin. The album opens up with Nicky Hopkins playing that beautiful harpsichord like piano imitation of a music box and one of the premier psychedelic pieces of all time, "She's A Rainbow". If you play the album in this order it not only makes more sense as a presentation, you will understand the joke that the Stones are playing by calling the album "Satanic". In the Satanic ethos everything is backwards or upside down. How do I KNOW that this is how the Stones were looking at this? The original album is NOT labeled SIDE 1 and SIDE 2. It is labeled FRONT SIDE and BACK SIDE. I don't know about you but I often start with the back side! Now look at the songs! I have already mentioned the Carnival Barker getting us to come and join in on the fun. What song ends the BACK SIDE of the album? Why its, "On With The Show". Hardly the name of a song that ends an album. So NOW we turn the record over to the FRONT SIDE and we are enjoined to, "Sing This All Together". We can see that the song now makes more sense at this point in the festivities where we are all a lot looser and more in the mood for partying! After all that was what this record was made for! We are being asked to join in on a Rolling Stones Party! Kinda like that Beach Boys Party album, except now the keg has been tampered with! At the end of the FRONT SIDE we get to reprise, "Sing This All Together". By now we all know the words and can join in! At the end of the song we hear what appears to be the denouement and a final piano note that seems to playfully mock the final chord of "Sgt. Pepper". We think that this is the end but before we can get up and take the needle off of the record.....surprise! Instead of having the run out groove like the Beatles Sgt. Pepper, there is this odd other worldly track tacked on at the end that seems to meander aimlessly and dissonantly off into the distant fog. That's odd you think. I wonder what that is supposed to be? I had always heard it that way until a friend of mine told me to turn the speed up on the turntable for that one cut. The rest is history! I can never hear that track now the way I first heard it! (For one thing the orange barrels are all gone) But best wishes and Merry Christmas anyhow from me and the 1967 Rolling Stones! I honestly feel sad for all of you who weren't there with us at the time! But if you listen closely you can still hear those vibes echoing out into the night! Everything was magical AND, anything was possible! Even partying with the Rolling Stones!
Intereting...
You ever tried DMT? 2c-b?
🌳🎼 Interesting angle 🐠 Thanks for that 🍇☔️🌻
I love your take on this album and will now listen to it with different ears. I bought the album recently and enjoy it more than expected. Renaissance + 1967 hippy + psychedelia + a flourish of good old Rolling Stones here and there.

Oh God!I'm so glad you're reviewing this album!
Brilliant review , i bought this in the late 70s.
Great review. My favorites from this include 2000 Light Years, Citadel and She's A Rainbow. I'm not a fan of Gomper and Sing This All Together (See What Happens). The cover is cool, especially the 3D artwork and you shared all you could about it. I hope to see more reviews from you in the future (any!). Thanks for making this entertaining and informative.
Seems Gomper and All Together gave something of a breather for mind to savor the other tracks.... not meant as slam in any respect. The album as a whole in far more than sum of the parts
Can you do a difference between us and uk releases like for example aftermath uk vs us
This one of my favorite Rolling Stones album
Love the album 😀 Nice review, really enjoyed it 👍
even though I have a different approach angle to this album, I agree 99,99% with you. Excellent presentation of the album and a fair and just overview, useful for young listeners. I was 4 when it came out but having older cousins into RnR came quite handy, so I'm familiar with this for half a century. Love the album.
