Beautiful Rubbish

Marc A. Vesci has no idea what he's talking about. Jagger admitted that this album was the stones attempt to combat Sgt. Peppers, he also admitted that they failed, and were taking too much acid anyway.



Having said that, I find amazing beauty all through this album, from the delicate She's a Rainbow to the mysterious 2000 Light Years and the plain groovy Citadel, this is well worth a listen, if only as a messy yet Nostalgic piece of psychadelia.

One of my favorites

Yes, it's true that this isn't a typical Stones album. In fact, it's probably the most un-Stone-like album they've ever done. However, despite the oddness of this album, I love it. I don't love it because it's perfect, I love it because it's a quirky but intensely enjoyable collection of odd songs that typify psychedelic music. I bought a copy of the album for Christmas in 1967 and 37 years later, I still love to listen to it.

You Fools are Clueless!

What is going on here? Don't any of you fools understand anything? What are you dim-wits like in real life? This album was NOT an attempt to emulate Sgt. Pepper's, you fools! They're poking fun at it, and the BEATLES and the rest of you dorks who don;t know anything!!
