Aftermath represents the first time Jagger/Richards wrote a whole album worth of songs on their own, and the result is a classic. Their inexperience still shows on a few of the lesser tracks, but those results are still interesting. And... Full review

One of the greatest of all Stones albums, "Flowers" is often hailed as an expression of psychedelia. I think this overlooks the sheer rock feeling on some of the songs and their diversity, as well as Jagger's great shading on his strongl... Full review

High Tide was originally issued as separate US and UK albums with slightly different track listings. This CD reissue has superb sound quality and contains most of their early classics. The exclusion of Lady Jane and Little Red Rooster is ... Full review

The much maligned Their Satanic Majesties Request is The Rolling Stones obvious response to The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album. The band dived headfirst into the psychedelic sounds of 1967's Summer of Love and the album sounds like no other ... Full review

No doubt you have been reading all of these reviews stating that "this is the best rock 'n roll ablum ever" etc. and great details about each song. But nobody has mentioned the recording quality and sound quality of this album. I have l... Full review

Aftermath shows a tremendous leap for the band. Mick Jagger & Keith Richards were starting to bloom as songwriters and the band started to step away from the heavy R&B sounds of their earlier albums. Brian Jones was the founder an... Full review

Beggar's Banquet is the first in a string of albums in which the Stones could do no wrong musically. Try this puppy on for size: it'll knock your socks off guarenteed. The cover alone says enough: a dirty, putrid toilet nestled before a g... Full review

Released way back in 1969, "Let it Bleed" finds The Rolling Stones at their absolute creative peak. Though it was released as part of a string of masterpiece albums the band recorded between 1968 and 1972, the argument can be m... Full review

Whenever an album is newly remastered, a reviewer has to take in both the customers who are buying the album for the first time, and those who are buying their third or fourth copy.I'll start with the former.This is one of those few... Full review

The original three Cd set issued back in 1989 had problems. Many songs were spliced together from different sources (Heart of Stone and Honky Tonk Woman had stereo intros attached to mono mixes. Time Is On My Side was not the single versi... Full review

I don't care what anyone thinks, this is my all time favorite Rolling Stones. Everything about it is truly amazing. The songs are so diverse; they range from simple rockers like "Connection" and "My Obsession" to divine classics like "L... Full review

Hot Rocks Volume Two is billed as more of the band's greatest hitsm, but it does not really live up to that stature because most of it is made up of minor hits, b-sides, and album tracks. But it is still worth a listen.Disc 1 kicks off... Full review
 |
This is, more or less, just a collection of Rolling Stones songs that hadn't been on an album before. As such, it doesn't have the cohesiveness of some of their other albums. But regardless of that, there is a lot of great material here... Full review

During the 2002 RUSH to re-release the Rolling Stones to SACD, abkco, london and DECCA failed on "NOW." The first track:"EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO LOVE", was reduced to a 3 minute some seconds, rarely heard version, from the original a... Full review
 |
The Stones' 1965 blast of "Out of Our Heads" sounds excellent in its 2002 remastered form. The opener "Have Mercy" has a bit of a thin sound, but the boys do bounce through it in homage to Otis Redding. Marvin Gaye's... Full review
 |
Despite being their second American album, 12x5 *completely* outshines the rest of the Stones' early work in the sound quality department. A good part of this album is made up of the '5x5' EP that had been released in the UK; recorded pri... Full review
 |
As time passed by, my sense that this and "Out of Our Heads" were their finest efforts never really left me. Not to say that enormous chunks of wonderful stuff didn't follow, of course, unlike many bands who peaked on their early release... Full review
 |
Between the mono versions on disc one and the edited versions on disc two, think twice before you buy this cd. The song selection is ok, but why not use the stereo versions of Paint It Black and Satisfaction, for example? If there was ... Full review

I really love this record and it's one of my favorites, I suppose because of the reggae flavor of "Cherry." I spent a good part of my life living on a sailboat in the Caribbean and reggae is a good part of my life, sort of a little sister... Full review
 |
This album has one of the strangest titles of a major band's releases I've ever heard. Where does the title come from? Perhaps the notion that it's something at first you wouldn't want and wouldn't like, but that after a while, you migh... Full review

Sometimes considered "just another Stones album" It's Only Rock 'n' Roll was originally released Oct 18, 1974, it went to #1 in the US and #4 in the UK. Over the years Ronnie Wood's song It's Only Rock 'n' Roll has finally achieved the cl... Full review
 |
Along with Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed and Exile On Main Street, this is arguably the greatest album ever by the world's greatest rock 'n roll band. This is the post-60's peace and love, nasty early 70's hard core drug inspired kick a... Full review

I loved this recording 30 years ago and I love it now. No big comeback, no big statments, just a rock solid effort full of good, great and interesting songs. It is the Rolling Stones as I like to remember them. What is considered by so... Full review

I'm really not sure how to grade this new Deluxe set. There's no way in the world I could ever give The Rolling Stones "Some Girls" anything less than 5 stars, but grading it as a deluxe package I'm not sure it is 5 stars. 12 bonus trac... Full review

Great remaster and as another reviewer said, it's all about the Bass and the Drums. Much greater clarity and depth and a noticeable improvement over the 1994 Virgin issues. This is my 5th Stones remaster so far from this 2009 reissue ca... Full review

After just three years without a new Stones release, "Steel Wheels" was hailed as a comeback. But after that, it took the Stones five years to come up with "Voodoo Lounge". So is it a better record than its predecessor?. We... Full review

Don't write this one off, folks. Give it a few listens & you just might find it to be the most solid album of the recent recordings of The Stones. It does not have the Chuck Berry/country flavor of Voodoo Lounge or the percussion crunch o... Full review

Jump Back: The Best Of The Rolling Stones: `71-`93 was released only in the UK on November 22, 1993. It was the *18th* compilation album released in the UK. It was also the first release of the Stones new contract with Virgin Records. ... Full review

Call me crazy but. This album was released in 1995 way before SHINE A LIGHT the movie came out, right?. And 20 years after Exile on Main Street came out, it was still underrated, as it seems like only after the Scoc... Full review

Following an album like 1971's magnificent "Sticky Fingers" was always going to be a tall order, but The Stones did it with swagger and panache. "Exile On Main St" was released 12 May 1972 as a 2LP set on Rolling Stones Records COC 69100 ... Full review
