Let It Bleed, The Rolling Stones - A great country rock album from the greatest rock group ever., 2009-11-22
After a series of difficulties within the band, The Rolling Stones regrouped and came out of the blocks with the classic `Beggars Banquet'. Their next album, `Let It Bleed', built on the groundwork laid down there and an album of classic country rock is the result.
The album is propelled by Charlie Watts' metronomic and powerful drumming, with Bill Wyman's underrated but essential Bass. Keith Richards puts in some classic blues guitar and Jagger lays down a note perfect, tortured vocal. There are classic tracks here, the iconic `Let It Bleed' and `You Can't Always Get What You Want', the dangerous `Midnight Rambler', and perhaps the greatest ever cover of Robert Johnson's `Love In Vain'. The tempo is relatively slow throughout, but these are powerful songs that will just sweep you along. This is a classic album that I just keep on returning to.
For all trivia lovers, the cake in the picture on the album front was baked by a very young Delia Smith.
Finally the Stone's back catalogue is being given the treatment it deserves in this series of re-mastered SACD hybrid discs. On a normal CD player the sound is excellent, with a great mix that brings out so much more detail than the old, murky, releases. On a SACD system these will just blow you away. You really feel like you're in the studio with the band. My only complaint is the lack of any kind of liner notes. Some recording details and an essay about the band at the time would have been nice, but hey - it's the music that's really important, and that is superb.
Highly recommended to all.

The Greatest Rock Album Of All Time, 2009-07-10
Everything that needs to be said about this album has already been said in the other reviews, other than no other album has ever had, or will have 3 rock classics such as Gimmie Shelter, Midnight Rambler, and You Can't Always Get What You Want, on a single album.
This is rock and roll heaven and will never be beaten.
I have no idea what Adamski was listening to, 2 stars is just pathetic!
The Defining moment of 1969, 2009-06-30
1969 was the year that The Beatles performed for the last time together, Hendrix performed at Woodstock and it was also the year that would end the greatest decade in the history of music and this album is arguably not only the defining moment of 1969, but also the defining moment of the 1960s. Every song on this album is a classic, it starts in style and it ends in style. Starting with Gimme Shelter one of the defining moments of the 60s and ending with You Can't Always get what you want possibly the finest song on the album and the song that ended the 60s in style. But there are not the only classics on the album, Monkey Man is one of the most under-rated songs in The Rolling Stones back catalogue, the Title track shows swagger and Midnight Rambler showcases The Stones' at their bluesy best. Possibly the finest album that The Rolling Stones ever released, it was also the final album that featured Brian Jones, and if there was an album to end the 1960s in style, than this was it.

 Hangs together pretty well, 2008-12-01
This album, like Black and Blue, saw the Stones effectively reduced to a 4-piece. Keith has to work that much harder and it shows in some strong songs.
"Gimmie Shelter" is not only, in my opinion, the best Stones song ever, but also one of the best songs ever. It is simply stunning. "Love In Vain" has a nice feel to it, although I rarely warm to Stones covers (apart from the adolescent charm of the early covers on their first and third albums). "Country Honk" is an uptempo country track that feels right and not contrived, while "Live With Me" showed the Stones with a snarl and contempt that was was still convincing when they were in their mid 20's. "Let It Bleed" is another great track and was written in the period when Jagger's lyrics still had resonance and feel. "Midnight Rambler" is good but not as great as it is sometimes made out to be. I think it is sometimes praised more for its concept than for the song itself. "You Got The Silver" is an atractive Keith song, rendered above average by Brain Jones's last contribution to the band on autoharp. "Monkey Man" I used to think was just filler, but my view has changed and I now think it is the Stones experimenting with heavy rock (as The Beatles did with Helter Skelter) and pulling it off. Finally, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is another classic, which I can see in years to come being sung by professional choirs as a "traditional" staple.
