I like that She's a Rainbow song. That's a great song. For that alone the album is worth it's weight in rock n roll gold. |

Better than Emotional Rescue.
Better than A Bigger Bang.
Better than St. Anger. |

Hell yeah, I love "Satanic Majesties." As Mr. Motels pointed out above, "She's A Rainbow" makes the album worth its weight in R&R gold. |

I'm not a big fan, Citadel, 2000 Man, She's a rainbow and 2000 Light Years are great songs. |

I like those 4 and also Lantern, and find both STATs and Gomper somewhat interesting. Haven't listened to it on acid though so my opinions are unqualified. |

'Jumpin' Jack Flash' and 'Gimme Shelter' would be a couple of examples of songs that IMO are 'awesome'.
'The Lantern' and 'Shitadel' dont deserve to be mentioned in the same paragraph, which is why I've started a new one.
the pair of '2000' songs are really good, as is 'Shes A rainbow'. The rest varies from mediocre to poor to embarrassing.
If I were to pick the worst 10-12 songs the Stones have ever done, about half of the list would come from this album.
And my hostility to it isnt because I dont like that 'type' of music. Some of it has a certain, if dated, charm. Its simply not good Rolling Stones music. They have crossed over into other genres throughout their career, often with brilliant results. On this occasion, they simply didnt do it very well as the songs generally arent that good. It just smacks of bandwagon-jumping, which is wahy its never sounded 'real' to me. All style and no substance - or as we'd like to say here, "fur coat and no knickers"...

Come on: who cares what people think? A lot of them even liked Titanic and monogamy. |

Taking drugs to make music for people to takes drugs to listen too, or something like that. |

Citadel is a GREAT song...

| Gimme Shelter |
Great album |

Citadel, The Lantern, Light Years From Home, Rainbow. At least half of the album is great.
The opening track is nothing but a joke, like the 3D cover. Plus, you get to listen to Bill snoring (after a wonderful melody; you can't deny the melody)!! Ligthen up, get drunk and sing like a dog. |

Spring 1981, a couple of my school friends joined me to see a neighborhood buddy going to school at Trinity College in Hartford. Ate mushrooms and put on Satanic. It's really the ultimate trip album. |

smile: Gazza my dear, as i'm sure you already know, there's a *lot* of joy to be had in a fur coat and no knickers.
Satanic Majesties grooves me just fine. if nothing else moves you, listen to the guitar!

The 'meaning' of the expression is perhaps lost in the transatlantic translation, but I prefer the sound of your scenario to mine.....

A bloody great waste of effort. The only good thing about Satanic was that they realised how shit they sounded, and came back with a career defining single and a back to basics classic album.
Having said that, i like some of their hippie-trippie stuff. We love you and Dandelion. Dont know why i like Dandelion, but i do. |

Damn right. Thank fuck it was a flop. Otherwise, it might have encouraged and inspired them to go on a different musical path, they wouldnt have hired Jimmy Miller and we may not have got the works of genius that followed. |

I like the parts I like on it more than I used to and hate the parts I hate on it more than ever.
I think it breaks down into 20 minutes of quality and 20 minutes of crap, not because I don't like "experimental" music so much as I think the Stones are pretty terrible at it.
But yes, the Lantern is a pretty damn good song with some pretty damn good guitar.
And I do get a kick out of In Another Land.
Does anybody else dig Redd Kross's version of Citadel? ROCK!

I heard it today and is not so bad, is a 50/50 record. Great songs and some bad shit too. |

Sing This All Together actually features some nice lyrics and melody, but there's no music to speak of to back them up. |

Also, it was their 1st production effort, wasnt it? So, then it's not a total loss. Well, it is when you fork over money for it. I have a vinyl with the 3d cover, but dont know if its worth anything. The other vinyl i played a few times, and sold it years ago. Never been tempted to buy it on cd. |

There are a few disillusioned individuals who worship Satanic like the second coming, but the sensible mortals amongst us will tell you that it's rubbish. There are a few OKAY tracks, but the majority is tripe. Stick on Emotional Rescue instead.  |
