I really like TSMR. Take out 'Sing This Alltogether part 2, and 'Gomper' then put in 'Dandelion' and 'We Love You'. it woulda been way better. |

No, keep Gomper, but ditch the Lantern as well as the filler jam, redo the vocals on On with the Show without the bullhorn, add the two you mentioned, plus Child of the Moon, and you've got a great album. |

I dunno about any of this shoulda, coulda, woulda crap.
The track list is what they wanted, so you have to judge it based on what is, not what is not.

Oddly, I like Ace Frehley's cover of 2,000 Man.
On TSMR I like:
- 2000 Man
- 2000 Light Years From Home
- Citadel
- The Lantern
- Gomper
- sometimes Dandelion
I have found when I just turn on my Jukebox, with 700 Stones tracks, on random - when one of these comes up its a surprisingly fresh change of pace. Especially since I haven't heard them as often as the others. |

I did judge the album on what it is. I like the album alot, just the way it is.
I just think it would be even better if the single and b-side from that era were on the LP. |

I like the album, it's a classic for that time..I agree if they would have added Dandilion, We Love You, and Child of the Moon to it, it would go down as one of their best ever.. |

i think i mihgt've liked that cover, but the only value that song ever had was its drumbeat - its the most different thing Charlie's ever done by miles, and the drummer from KISS has no concept of rhythm. other than that, I wouldn't have minded it so much as a more 'rock' track
oh yeah, I forgot the top three things that SHOULD'VE been on Satanic Majesties:
Child Of The Moon
We Love You
Dandelion
these three songs plus Rainbow, Lantern, Light Years, Citadel and maybe 2000 Man would've made this one of my favorites, even above Beggers Banquet

Even if they had dropped the abomination that is "Sing This All Together (See How Pish It Sounds) and replaced it with "We Love You/Dandelion", and made it into a kind of compact little psychedelic pop mini-LP, it still would have been one massive waste of tape.
I can't really agree with an earlier remark on this page about "Between The Buttons" being as weak an LP.
Sure, it aint no "Beggars" or "Fingers", but has a very assured, composed pop suss; As well as being much more concise and succinct than "Aftermath". I think the US edition, including "Let's Spend...." and "Ruby..." is better. |

I think rather that TSMR was Mick's idea, just being caught up in the whole "psychedelic" movement, and wanting to stay current. I think that Brian was probably completely and utterly miserable at the time, and if he hated the album, it's probably because of the turmoil he was in at the time. I'm sure that Brian enjoyed cutting "2000 Light Years", and "Gomper." I would think that if ANYBODY hated the album, it would have been Keith. Keith's not exactly a blues purist, but he ain't exactly "experimental" either.
Yeah, that's about how I would have imagined it myself. However, I don't remember Keith being as critical of TSMR as he is of Emotional Rescue, for example... Maybe he just got used to the album over the years.

I dont think I actually said it was "as" weak. Rather that compared to what had gone before, it was their weakest effort to date. TSMR was definitely a lot weaker than Buttons (even if the best songs on TSMR - ie 2000 Light Years etc are better than anything on Buttons). Its just that when TSMR is bad - its truly horrible (ie Sing This All Together (See How Pish It Sounds) as you wonderfully describe it)
>Sure, it aint no "Beggars" or "Fingers", but has a very assured, composed pop suss; As well as being much more concise and succinct than "Aftermath".
each to their own I guess. I think "buttons" mostly consists of merely OK,unremarkable but not BAD songs. Its just nothing special. "Aftermath" has gems aplenty. A terrific album. Both versions.
>I think the US edition, including "Let's Spend...." and "Ruby..." is better.
oh without a doubt. But its only two songs different. As I'm a Brit like yourself, I tend to judge the early albums more by the UK versions, as the track listings on the US versions are often different as London Records were playing "catch up" with the UK releases

I really Like TSMR, I agree a couple of songs are a bit weak but all albums have those,but they all fit together to make a great sounding album.Unlike Sgt.Pepper which IMO is a pile of crap.
