Good yes, the covers are excellent ("Cry to Me" above all) there are tracks written by the whole group (under pseudonyms) not bad, Jagger/Richards were already writing good songs and meanwhile, even though the maturation of their style along with a significant leap in quality would only happen with "Aftermath," they brought out "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"; above all, Richards came up with the riff for Satisfaction...

    Great album, right? Aftermath is superior, but this one is right on its heels... here Jones was still doing things right, Richards was learning his craft, churning out riffs like crazy... The riff of Satisfaction was pulled out while he was sleeping in a hotel in the States, but Jagger, perhaps out of spite, has always said that the guitarist was heavily inspired by a Chuck Berry song to compose it. Anyway, who cares, HISTORY...

    The fact is that Aftermath is written in a much more defined and personal style, and then the album that definitely launched the duo as authors and Jones as a imaginative multi-instrumentalist. For me, this one is not trailing behind at all; we can all agree that it’s not bad at all.

The beginning of the Stones' peak period (or messiness). The path is set: Rock 'n' roll, Blues, Country, R&B, Folk, with Jones' influence increasingly diminished, and the (likeable) diabolical duo becoming ever more in control. A masterpiece.

    I generally tend to think that Let it Bleed is my favorite, then I listen to this and change my mind, then I listen to Sticky and change my mind again, then I listen to Exile and change my mind once more, then I re-listen to Let it Bleed and go back to my original idea, then...

Oh, for me this debut from the extraordinary backing singers of Aretha Franklin (and in the solo debut of Van Morrison, and in the most beautiful album of Dusty Springfield, and with Presley, etc.) is worth 5 stars. Exceptional selection of tracks (among an Isaac Hayes, a Bacharach/David, and a Cropper, they even squeeze in two big numbers from the contemporary Aretha repertoire, from I Never Loved a Man... which they had just participated in), impeccable interpretations, some exceptional. Between grooves and killer melodies, it's an album without dead moments. "Reach Out for Me" by Burt & Hal is still a cut above the rest, an eternal melody.

    I don't know, if the Troggs and the Sonics were "proto-punk", what definition could fit these guys...? Excellent album in an era when the 45 still dominated over the 33, fundamental in the evolution of guitar sound on par with legends like the Shadows and the Ventures - like them, influenced by various infatuations with surf-flamenco and so on, but with an added roughness that belongs to garage. Kudos for the rediscovery.
  • hjhhjij
    23 jan 13
    Look, I didn't give it 5 stars because some of the sung tracks don't impress me much. But there are great pieces in here, yes. And yes, Surfin' Bird is incredibly raw and wild, and still, they are essential. It's no coincidence that the song has been covered by the Ramones (so-so) and the Cramps (great cover), and there must be a reason for that.

Cool. I am among those who believe that The Who have consistently improved from their debut onwards, reaching their peak during the period from '69 to '71 (generally impeccable up to Quadrophenia). This is already slightly better than the already excellent debut; if it weren't for the title track (nice, with great moments but that doesn't fully convince me), I would have already given it a 5. Great album.
  • SilasLang

    I, on the other hand, adored them up until "Sell Out," which I consider their masterpiece, a very personal opinion... Then, mmmm... it becomes hard to understand each other between me and them :-)

    Oh yes, there are those who prefer the first period, more spontaneous and raw, and those who prefer the second, more mature, which is why I wrote that first sentence in the definition. Well, as you can see, I quite like the first ones too.

    "The Who Sell Out" is pop perfection for me...god how I love that...anyway, tastes aside, great band.
  • hellraiser

    I instead prefer the debut to this, it's a matter of taste; still excellent (with ups and downs like everyone) at least until "The Who by Numbers" of '75. From there the decline begins, except maybe for "Who Are You" (song) and "You Better You Bet," a nice way... anyway, the trio Tommy, Next, and Quadrophenia is amazing! (not to mention Live at Leeds)

    I'm curious, since I also intend to collect their CDs (up to Who Are You), do you have the '90s CD with some bonus tracks, or do you have the deluxe version in mono and stereo that was released 5 or 6 years ago?
  • hjhhjij
    18 feb 18
    No, I have the one from '96, more or less. In short, the one before the last reissue with the double stereo-mono version. I'm not really someone who cares too much about bonus tracks (but in this case, I'll make an exception), let alone buying editions with 56 different versions of the same album plus 178 bonus tracks featuring the singer's burps at minute 2:54 of track number 45 :D I'm not that much of a completist/collector, and the album I have (which with the bonuses has 23 songs) is more than enough for me.

Very simply: one of my absolute favorite albums. I know it by heart, yet with each new listen, the emotions are the same, overflowing, and those notes always tear the soul away. This album is one of the best "Blues/Blues-Rock" records of the '80s, in fact, in my opinion, of all time. Howard finally has full control; this is HIS band, and damn, you can feel it. As a songwriter, he’s at his peak, pure inspiration ("These Immortal Souls," the track... what can I say...) as a performer he delivers two stunning covers (the interpretation of Chilton's "Hey, Little Child," fully owned by him 100%). And Genevieve's piano, how I love Genevieve's piano, the centerpiece of the sound of this masterpiece. A life album.

Live incredibly beautiful (just like the one in London the year before, by the way) that represents a delicious live preview of the more experimental Buckley that would arrive shortly after. Aside from an unstoppable, wild, fiery, and mesmerizing "Gipsy Woman," the true gem is "I Don't Need it to Rain," which unfortunately will find space only in a live setting and never get a spot on a studio album. The previews (3/5) of "Lorca" are delightful (exceptionally rendered for "Driftin" and "I Had a Talk With My Woman") with an extensive and engaging "Nobody Walkin," and simply chilling are the two tracks from "Blue Afternoon": the marvelous "Blue Melody" and "Chase The Blues Away." One of the two essential live recordings for Buckley fans.

Along with "Starsailor," my favorite album by Tim. The dark abysses into which Buckley's increasingly free and daring vocal experiments dive in the title track are simply extraordinary, a stream of consciousness even bolder than that of "Love From Room 109" from two years prior. His Voice in "Anonymous Proposition" literally liquefies a simple, yet beautiful, crooner-like melody. "Driftin" follows the same path but in a less extreme way, with an exceptional melody and a vocal performance that is indescribable in its grandeur and maturity. The remaining two tracks are more linear and classic, balancing the sunlit yet melancholic serenity of "I Had a Talk With My Woman" with the "groovy" moment of "Nobody Walkin," which just throws it away... For me, one of the most beautiful albums of the entire '70s.

One of the brightest debuts ever, in which the 4 feels a bit too restrictive, so much so that it's a 4 on the verge of explosion. The maximum rating isn't achieved solely because of the excessively high peaks reached by Buckley on the following album. 12 beautiful songs and already a handful of masterpieces, in addition to that voice, at 19 years old, that is frightening and already brings tears of emotion. "Valentine Melody" is an eternal, perfect, immense song. An overflowing 4.5. Beautiful.

    well...I’ve always found it to be quite immature instead. And compared to this Hello Goodbye (which in itself is a really great album) it’s always seemed to me like a big leap.
  • hjhhjij
    14 nov 14
    Yes, but Hello Goodbye doesn't exist. As for the rest, de-gustibus, it's immature at times, but for the rest, it's just an album of songs that are much simpler than the later ones; however, the tracks are truly remarkable in my opinion.
  • hjhhjij
    14 nov 14
    It all depends on how you see it: for me, the 5 albums by Buckley after this one are all among the most beautiful in the history of music; I would take them all to a desert island, leaving this one out, but I can't help but highlight how beautiful I still find it.

Jack Nicholson is worth the film all by himself and raises the score by at least a notch. Ultimately, it's a good adaptation of the character of Kane; Burton was the one from his early days, pre-Edward, but the talent was already all there.
