Sorry to disagree, but I like "Their Satanic Majesties Request." It may not be in my top five Stones album favorites, but I still like it. I don’t care if Mick did call it rubbish. I did some research and found that he did cash the check. I liked it so much I bought the special edition Vinyl/CD that came out a few years ago. Yes, that’s right, I’m the one!
Give Satanic Majesties A Chance
Hope all are doing well. My 92 year old mother beat the virus. So can you. But I digress.
I never liked SMR when it came out and neither did anyone else including the Stones, who described it as "rubbish".
But times change and I decided, for some reason, to pop my 2002 Inaugural Edition Hybrid Disc 2002 in the CD player.
It was a remaster and came with a Certificate of Authenticity. Authentic rubbish I guess. But anyway - there is quite a bit of aimless meandering in some of the songs, but the album was better than I remembered. "In Another Land", "She’s a Rainbow", "Citadel" are not bad songs and they’ve managed to capture some very nice piano, drums and bell sounds.
All in all, better than I remember. Maybe give it another listen if you’re so inclined, misuse of the plural possessive notwithstanding. Be well.
