5.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of phase two, 19 Nov 2009
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Aftermath (Audio CD)
The Rolling Stones' first album of entirely self-penned material also showcases both strands of their development from 1966 to 1972, their peak period. The louder, raucous element of their r&b is largely sacrificed here in favour of a more sophisticated approach to the genre, typified by the 11-minute 'Going Home'. Though this track doesn't match up to later classics such as 'Midnight Rambler' or 'Sympathy For The Devil', it points toward that kind of direction. On the other hand, gentler pop-oriented material such as 'Take It Or Leave It' (covered by The Searchers) and the spellbinding 'Lady Jane' presaged the direction taken on the next album, 'Between The Buttons' which ultimately led to the cul-de-sac that was 'Satanic Majesties'. Fortunately, the band got back on track with the superb 'Beggar's Banquet'.

On 'Aftermath', however, the blend of styles works largely because the material is so good. Even lesser known tracks such as 'I Am Waiting' have a distinct identity. 'Doncha Bother Me' and 'It's Not Easy' are welcome remnants of their early style, while the timeless classics department is represented by 'Under My Thumb' and 'Out Of Time'. The Stones also experimented here and there with their sound, particularly the bass which has a peculiar but highly effective resonance on tracks such as 'Under My Thumb'. 'Aftermath' also offers more quantity than previous releases, weighing in at 53 minutes, which is staggering considering that albums of the era were usually half an hour long.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best of The Stones 60's Output, 17 Mar 2009
By Musicat (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aftermath (Audio CD)
1966 was a good year, the Stone's Aftermath, was released in April, The Beachboy's "Pet sounds" came out in May and the Beatle's released "Revolver" in August that year - all classic water shed albums. Aftermath proved to be a major artistic breakthrough for The Rolling Stones thanks to the group's then musical leader Brian Jones and it was also their first album to consist of jagger/richards songs exclusively - with enough songs left over for the follow up albeit weaker "Between the Buttons".
And what great songs those first ones were and remain. "Under my Thumb", "Out of Time" (brilliantly covered by Chris Farlowe), "Stupid Girl" and "Think" in particular showing misogynistic signs of a sneering Jagger in lyrics aimed at his former model girl friend. With the exception of the following years "Their Satanic Majesties" this is probably the most musically experimental Stones albums instrument- wise thanks to Brian Jones' musicianship - sitar, dulcimer, marimbas etc. Aftermath is far the sharper of the two albums, far less self indulgent with perhaps the exception of the eleven minute long "Going Home". But remember, it's only a classic in its UK version - forget any American versions of any of the Stones albums. Note: The Beatles never allowed their albums to be messed up, shame on you Sir Mick!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle, 11 Jan 2008
This review is from: Aftermath (Audio CD)
If I had to choose my Stones-Album it would be this one. They like to play, Brian by their side. Just magic.

The early, Brian Jones, Stones were edgy and dangerous. Much less safe than their modern evolution. These are some of the earlierst Jagger Richard songs that they recorded. Read more
