    A classic

    One of the most brilliant and inspired Rolling Stones album. Everything in it is perfect. If you don't already have it, buy it.

    OLD ROLLING STONES ARE WONDERFUL

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 8, 2002

    THIS IS ONE OF THE OVER 500 VINYL RECORD ALBUMS IN MY COLLECTION. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY REMAKES ON VINYL, THEY ARE ALL ON THEIR ORIGINAL LABEL. THIS SPLENIDD RECORD BY THE ROLLING STONES IS ON THE FANTASTIC BLUE LONDON LABEL AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ...I LOVE THE ROLLING STONES UNTIL 1971!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more Less

    Okay album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 23, 2002

    The stones are definately not better than the Beatles. The Stones are a better rock group, but the beatles were had better virsitility.The beatles were not a pure rock group. This Album's best song is the title track "Well we all need someone to..." ...This is a decent album but it is not great half the songs are good the rest are not. Even though the critics like it i dont particularly. For the stones best check out some girls or sticky fingers. Read more Less

    It has blues, rock, country. You Can't Always Get What You Want is pure crap, but the rest is okay.

    Bleed on the tracks

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 7, 2002

    By 1969, Brian Jones had blown it. The Rolling Stones were aching to take their new music out on the road to an audience willing to listen, but Jones was no longer merely a problem, but a liability. So, Keith and Mick rolled one up for old times sake... and subsequently fired Jones, then hired Mick Taylor in the second guitar spot. Of course, this was merely a formality as by this stage Jones barely turned up for recording sessions anymore. Not that it mattered, as Keith Richards and Mick Jagger finding themselves a rich, creative vein, took complete control of The Rolling Stones.Drugs and stardom had yet to take their toll, and "Let It Bleed" was another watershed moment in their career. As with "Beggars Banquet", The Stones set the pace with a Top Ten single not even featured on the album. "Honky Tonk Woman" introduced Mick Taylor to audiences and was an odd bit of joy in a period that would be defined by some of the darkest Stones songs written. In fact, the lead off track on "Let It Bleed" was the frightening prophetic "Gimme Shelter", telling listeners that "war, children, was just a shot away". With the US involvment in Vietnam growing like a cancer and Altamont a mere few months away, "Gimme Shelter" predicts the end of the Woodstock Dream and it's transition into a decade of excess. Things don't get much cheerier, as the Stones take us on a musical journey of all things dark and desperate, from "Let It Bleed"'s "jaded, faded, junkie nurse" to Albert DiSalvo himself in "Midnight Rambler" (the version here is tame when compared to the incendiary live cut on "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out"). Perhaps the ultimate statement of fatalism comes at the end of "Let It Bleed" with "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Mick and Keith spin a familiar tale of broken hearts, drug addiction, and the affirmation of little victories such as friendship. The Rolling Stones themselves would fall victim to the rot they sing of on "Let It Bleed" as drug abuse and the pitfalls of stardom took their toll. With "Let It Bleed" the band had the courage to see things as they were in 1968/69, pehaps looking deeper into themselves and their generation than they had expected to. Read more Less

    Let it Bleed

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 27, 2002

    This album starts off with "Gimme Shelter". That alone should tell you enough, but the other tracks are too excellent not to mention.Track 2, "Love in Vain" a truly classic rendition of a song by a true classic, Robert Johnson. Then comes "Country Ho...nk", the first version of "Honky Tonk Woman". If you wanna rock, "Live With Me" is an adrenaline pumper with a nasty little guitar riff, and a blistering sax solo. Every track is memorable.That is why it is one of the top four. Read more Less

    REALLY THE BEST

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 27, 2001

    The perfect album. I've listen to more than 500 albums in my still very young life,and this one would rank for sure in my top 10.
    It's the absolute Stones album, and one of the absolute of all time.

    Dave Matthews Band fans should hear this

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 27, 2001

    The reason I say this is because Dave Matthews Band got some of their biggest influences from the rolling stones. You can hear saxaphone, piano, and acoustic guitar on this album, and all these are influences on DMB. Pink floyd is another band Dave g...ot his influence from, its very evident in all of dave matthews band music. The rolling stones and pink floyd are what got me into DMB, but thats beside the point, This is an exellent album, in my opinion probably their best ever made, but I'm no music superman, its just an opinion, so in closing, i love the rolling stones and this album is exellent.

    Let It Rock and Let It Roll!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 17, 2001

    Let It Bleed is one of the Stones greatest LPs!What 'ooief' fails to realize is that the Beatles and the Stones were actually close friends with playful rivalries. John has mentioned in interviews that he used to hang out with Mick, Keith, and Brian... all the time throughout the late 60s, and even cameoed on a few Stones tunes ( Dandelion, Child of the Moon ). Besides, as all true Beatle fans know, John Lennon playfully made fun of Mick's singing style on the 'Let It Be' LP's 'Dig It' track where John sings "Like a Rolling Stoh-own, Like a Rolling Stoh-own..." in a very Jaggerish kind of a way. And also sings "I Roll a Stone, where you can immitate everyone you know," in 'Dig a Pony'. So, is it so blasphemous for the Stones to playfully poke fun back at their friends in the Beatles"?As for the LP's content, it is the 2nd album of the Stones true Classic years ( 1968's 'Beggar's Banquet' to half-of-1973's 'Goat's Head Soup' ) when the Rolling Stones truely were the Rolling Stones.Tracks like 'Gimme Shelter', 'Country Honk', 'Live With Me', 'Let It Bleed', 'Monkey Man', and ESPECIALLY the rollicking classic 'Midnight Rambler' make me want to suck on Marlboro reds, and a bottle of J.D., and strum on a Fender Telecaster Allllll Night Long!!!My only complaint is that the song arrangement, is a seemingly random mish-mash of country/hick -yet cool-accoustic tunes and electric Rockers in a sort of non ordered order. 'Let It Bleed' also marks the exit of Stones founding Father/
    Master-multi-instrumental
    ist Brian Jones, and the entry of guitarist-extroadiaire Mick Taylor.     Read more Less
