the consummate music album, nothing less!

what must have been in 1969 for an impressive, than the 'beggars banquet'-spoiled listeners for the first time the new stones disc caused to rotate on the plate ?! Actually, it may have been only boundless bewilderment. 'Gimmie Shelter' begins dark and conspiratorial ends defeatist, the veritabel bluuuuuesige 'Love in Vain' pulls down every where even a spark of life will glow, 'Country Honk' is indeed alive again and communicative, but man: what's the point! ? 'Honky Tonk Women' was the single, but here is the radio-incompatible folk garment without bass and drums, it presents with fiddle and whiskey-organ !! 'Live with me' starts as a sparse instrumented uptempo rock, ends up being soulful dance number à la Isaac Hayes - also unusual.

But then the last song on page one, the peripetie: 'Let It Bleed' takes us back to known gefielde, leaves sprout trust donates force: "We all need some one we can lean on - if you want it, you can lean on me. " this ingratiating, homey-packaged offer rough beats of no - and no one will be disappointed: on page two is followed by firecrackers without stumbling block to the other. 'Midnight Rambler' brings aggressive road blues, with Keith 'You Got The Silver' the most moving moment of the album. just 'Monkey Man' rehearses discreetly the radio - but fails fortunately in this discipline and manifested so as genuinely outstanding song with beautiful switch between disheveled Reef bridges and fluid, viscous-smooth verses a wonderful transition to the genius, eight-minute final chord: a show of strength, fireworks, a work over, almost of madness - "Sometimes you'll get what you need"

so far, the record sleeve, on the back the construction of the pie is front covers displayed in quite horribly mangled state again, almost a reverse allegory of the contents: 'Let It Bleed' starts in the trenches and ends 2,000 miles above sea level. actually I want to say: the picking apart album into individual songs, these to sell off even dismembered whatever title on best-of-disks or consume, comes almost a sacrilege. more than any other in the Stones catalog has seen it as a whole, and will also hold accordingly received.
