 (16 Customer Reviews)
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.
Additional personnel includes: J.P. Jones (strings); Nicky Hopkins (piano).
With Holographic Cover.
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals); Bill Wyman (vocals, bass); Keith Richards (guitar, background vocals); Brian Jones (guitar, various instruments); Charlie Watts (drums).
NME (Magazine) (7/8/95, p.46) - 8 (out of 10) - "...a bold move which infuriated some critics at the time, but who can argue with the languorous psychedelia of `2,000 Light Years From Home', the anthemic innocence of `She's A Rainbow' or the wit of `2,000 Man'? Marvellous..."

It is interesting to read the reviews listed here, mostly comparing T.S.M.R. to Sgt. PEPPER.. I would suggest the true pairing would be T.S.M.R. and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR.The overall feels of both albums are comparable, and the 'headspace' comes from a similar zone. PEPPER was akin to a vaudeville entertainment- it had a dramatic dynamic- everything leading inexorably to A DAY IN THE LIFE.
SATANIC MAJESTIES and MYSTERY TOUR both explore inner space by covering individual reveries, chemically or geographically assisted. I would suggest, for dark and moody mystery, CITADEL is every bit the equal of a DAY IN THE LIFE. The new remastering, especially in SACD is brilliant- sonic detail, and spatial clues are very apparent.Never mind the bollocks- if you love vintage psychedelia, add this to your collection, and make it your dark friend.

Much too underrated
Their satanic majesties request is a very much underrated album. I must admit I didn't like it very much in the beginning (1967)either and that it took some time to start to like it. After 35 years I still like the tracks I liked then and those I didn't like never grew on me. "2000 light years from home" is a masterpiece, other favourites are "2000 men" "The Lantern" "She's a rainbow" and "In another land" and "Citadel"
The sound quality is OK. In headphones I can hear an improvement when compared to my previous european London/Decca version but then again (like i have said in all my reviews of the new remasters) those who have the most to benefit from these new remasters are those who have only heard the previous Abcko versions. We in europe who had the chance to buy the Decca/London releases in the middle of the 80's (then deleted and replaced with the Abcko versions) don't have much more to get from these new versions.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful.  Not too stoned Stones
I was never a really big fan of the Rolling Stones, and although one of my all-time favourite albums is Sticky Fingers, I have only about six Stones albums, and a few CD's. The likely reason is that I feel they have rarely been able to recreate the originality and grunt they displayed in their earlier days. TSMR is a very different style of music to the good old rawish blues of the 60's and 70's. It does not compare with Sgt Peppers, simply because it is so different, and to suggest one is better than the other is like saying an apple is better than an orange. To each his own. TSMR contains extraordinary lyrics and music, such as Citadel, In Another land, She's a rainbow, and 2000 lightyears..., although Sing this all together is, to my mind, rather chaotic and self-indulgent. It's a pity the original album contained only ten tracks, and subsequent albums did not continue the "fantasy" theme.

It remains to this day, one of the best acid era albums I've ever heard; You just have to be in the right "mood"

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The truth
A lot of people keep saying the stones put this album out because of the beatles sgt. pepper, NOT TRUE!. Decca and parlephone had an agreement where they would alternate releasing new material by both bands to milk as much money as they could from the public but someone at decca told parlephone about their satanic majesty, that's when it was decided to release sgt. pepper early, before their satanic majesty.

“A seasoned performer, Bobby Horton is a multi-instrumentalist, a composer, producer, and a music historian. For more than 30 years he has performed with the musical-comedy group Three On A String. He has also produced and performed music scores for ten Ken Burns PBS films, including ‘The Civil War’, ‘Baseball’, and ‘Mark Twain’, two films for the A & E Network, plus sixteen films for The National Park Service. His series of recordings of authentic “period” music has been acclaimed by historical organizations and publications throughout America and Europe.”This is the 6th in my series of authentic Confederate music. Because most of the big Southern “hits” of the 1860’s are found on C.S.A. vols. 1 – 5, I am proud to present many lesser known, yet important songs here. Like each of my other recordings; I played each instrumental part (many of the instruments heard were made in the 19th century), performed each vocal, hand drew the cover and liner notes, and recorded here in my home production studio – hence the “Homespun” in the title.Several of these tunes were actually written by Confederate soldiers. Captain E. Lloyd Wailes of Kirk’s Ferry Rangers penned “Confederate Song” to be sung on July 4, 1861 as the ladies of Catahoula, Louisiana presented his unit with their hand made flag. In “Our Boys Are Gone”, Colonel Hamilton Washington wrote the lyrics to the well known Irish melody, “The Minstrel Boy”. One of my favorites on this recording was written by Private Robert Riley Berry on December 13, 1862 while he was on picket duty in Readiville, Tennessee - he named the song “I Love To Be A Soldier”. One of the most unique songs contained here was written by an unknown member of Company H, 4th Texas Cavalry. In this song, the author reveals how each member of his unit was captured while on patrol -- The title is “The Capture of 17 of Co. H, 4th Texas Cavalry”.Songwriters of the 1860’s wrote many patriotic Southern tunes. Presented here are several such songs: “God Will Defend the Right” was written by an unknown lady in Richmond, Virginia; “God Save the South”, written by Ernest Halphin and Charles W. A. Ellerbrock, was considered to be the national hymn of The Confederacy; Stephen Glover wrote patriotic lyrics to a British Crimean War melody and named his composition “The Southern Watchword”; and M. F. Bigney, Esq. ...
