The first time I listened to this album, I'm like what the hell is this? It's weird and at times annoying and immediately I hated it. But after I listened to it a few times it grew on me, and it was yet something different for the Stones. They've done almost every genre, so why not weird, psychodelic, medevil, whatever you want to call it. They put in some weird citar sounds and it sounds like it should be the soundtrack of a medevil Robin Hood on drugs movie. Casual fans probably won't like this album, it sounds absolutely nothing like anything they've ever done before or since. But die hard fans will appreciate the bold move that the Stones made, doing something a little off kilter. The songs are experimental, and fresh for those who weren't around to hear them when they were originally released. The only song I knew before listening to this album was She's a Rainbow, but there are a lot of gems on this one if you give it a chance. Citadel is probably my favorite song on the album, it's a little more like the Stones older material. 2000 Light Years From Home and 2000 Man are also excellent tracks. But this album isn't about single tracks, it's about the album as a whole, which is an experimental piece of work that may drive some people crazy, but for those with patience and an open mind, I think they'll find this a true work of art. I read some reviews by others and found that it's either you love it or you hate it. Maybe that's the way it is with this album. I personally love it, but it took me a few listens to feel that way. It's definitely different so I gives kudos to the Stones for doing something new, regardless if their fans or critics liked it or not.Read full review
