Product Description

CD Description
Part druggy experiment, part musical rivalry with the Fab Four, and a total anomaly in the Rolling Stones' catalogue, THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST contains at least three trippy classics in "Citadel", "She's a Rainbow", and "2000 Light Years From Home". That it also contains an extensive sample of Bill Wyman snoring and an eight-minute stoned jam that begins with the timeless phrase "Where's that joint?" is a measure of SATANIC MAJESTIES' breadth of genius and folly.
There's a lot going on here--try comparing the wayward Eastern atmospheres of "Gomper" to anything on BEGGAR'S BANQUET, and marvel that you're listening to the same band. The fact that Jagger and Richards could still come up with the unimpeachably charming "She's a Rainbow"--baroque pop at its finest--and a fair stab at heavy R&B in "The Lantern", while attempting to negotiate the band's rocky passage through Flower Power is a tribute to their vision, their perseverance, and their drugs of choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe the bad press, 17 Jun 2004
This review is from: Their Satanic Majesties Request (Audio CD)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sitting around in kaftans on silk cushions toking on a hookah with a zither or marimba or something trying to see what it does, 11 Jul 2007
By Moz "The Madhatter" (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews
The Stones do psychedelia?!? Not quite, but it ceratinly does have that late sixties influence. It's too dark and, well, satanic, to be flowerpower, maybe if they'd included the contemporaneous 'We Love You'\'Dandelion' they'd have got closer. It's the only album they produced themselves, getting Jimmy Miller in to do their following albums, and it gives it a peculiar, quirky style. Everyone seems to be pulling in different directions and the drugs are beginning to kick in. If you want typical Stones then this just isn't it. But if you already have typical Stones this is a great counterpoint.
'Gomper' and 'Lantern' are brilliant but certainly not rockin' R&B. 'On with the Show' - a sleazy night club parody. 'Sing this Song Altogether' (in two parts), 'Another Land' (Bill's contribution) and 'Rainbow' interesting attempts at hippydom. '2000 Man', 'Citadel'(a great but never played track) & '2000 Lightyears' Floydesque sorties into sci-fi. Overall I like this album but 'Jumping Jack Flash' or 'Satisfaction' it ain't. Definitely one for the curious and lovers of experimentation or those collectors of naustalgea from the brief Brit summer of love stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, 23 Jul 2006
By C. Barlow "tkkeele1" (Stoke, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Their Satanic Majesties Request (Audio 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.

"Sing This All Together" - 3:47 2/5
"Citadel" - 2:51 4/5
"In Another Land]" (Bill Wyman) - 3:14 3/5
"2000 Man" - 3:08 4/5
"Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" - 8:34 2/5
"She's A Rainbow" - 4:35 5/5
"The Lantern" - 4:23 4/5
"Gomper" - 5:09 4/5
"2000 Light Years from Home" - 4:45 5/5
"On With The Show" - 3:39 2.5/5
