Dismissed by many as a barefaced Sgt. Peppers rip-off, this album divides audiences and critics alike. It's rather like Marmite in that you either love it or you hate it. Me, I'm somewhere in the middle! While Their Satanic Majesties Request pales alongside the Stones' next album, Beggars Banquet, that doesn't mean to say it's bad. Indeed, in many ways it was the first real album they produced.
In keeping with the time, this record is a journey rather than a mere collection of songs. And the songs are not half bad, either. Sing This All Together, 2000 Man, She's a Rainbow and 2000 Light Years From Home are perfect slices of gothic psychedelia that sound nothing like anything The Beatles were doing at the time. The lengthy space-jam Sing This All Together (See What Happens) is like the more accomplished spiritual cousin of Aftermath's Goin' Home, the difference being that this track actually works. Then there is the closer, On With The Show, an hilarious piece of burlesque showmanship from Mick and the band.
Given the troubles the Stones were going through at the time - Mick and Keith's respective jail sentences, the deterioration of Brian Jones - it is a miracle this album was made at all. Given that it is such an interesting and unique piece in the Stones' puzzle, it should be celebrated for what it is, not condemned for what it isn't.

Always an interesting record with some very good songs, but it sounds even better in SACD. It is like listening to a different record. Luckily my Sony S370 bluray player plays SACD, otherwise I would not have been able to play the SACD tracks and the remastered CD version would have been a much better buy. There are few SACD players and they are expensive, so check if you have the facility to play SACD already,such as a bluray player, otherwise it will just play as an ordinary CD.

This is one of my favourite Stones Albums, and a gem, maybe people don't like it because it might be a rip off of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, but this still Shines and has 3 to 4 Brilliant Tracks on it which are worth listening and 2- 3 good tracks and just 2-3 that are plain awful(Sing This All Together 1 and 2, and On With The Show) but apart from that this is a great album, which i like listening too.

One of my favourite Stones albums. Underrated - it takes you to another land. It has to be good - it's awash with Brian Jones playing the mellotron! Read more

Almost Sergeant Peppers but not quite
This was something of an oddity when it was released, as it was a major departure from the usual style of the Stones, and they didn't really ever repeat it. Read more

Interesting, to say the least
The Rolling Stones and Psychedelia?? What? Those were my first thoughts on hearing this album. I was pleasantly surprised, though. Read more
