Q (6/00, p. 74) - Ranked #28 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "... A watershed album... one that brought the curtain crashing down on the '60s.... [They] played badboy blues-rock better than any white band alive, on either side of the Atlantic."
NME (Magazine) (7/8/95, p. 46) - 9 (out of 10) - "... it tugs and teases in all directions, from the gospel-tinged lament `You Can't Always Get What You Want' to the voodoo wail of `Midnight Rambler' and `Gimme Shelter' to the redneck farce of `Country Honk'. ...See Full Description

| Let It Bleed, Forever And Ever, Amen.
This album is a masterpiece, it's that simple. The Stones were "inspired" when they wrote and recorded it. The first cut, "Gimmie Shelter", is one of the GREATEST rock songs ever made. The last cut, "You Can't Always Get What You Want", is one of the greatest power ballads ever made. It describes the turmoil of the 60's, personal and political, and the choir dramatically illuminates the lyrical content. It is just breathtaking. In between these 2 monumental cuts, you will find such gems as: "Love In Vain" - lowdown blues with fantastic interplay between Mick's flawless vocal and the guitarists' licks "Country Honk" - the title says it all "Midnight Rambler" - the seamy side of criminal life, given the full sleaze treatment "Monkey Man" - awesome lyrics, blistering guitars, great tinkly piano. As far as the title cut is concerned, "Let It Bleed" is ABSOLUTELY the most deliciously NASTY counterculture song I have ever heard IN MY LIFE! Look, if you like classic rock and you somehow don't have this album, get it NOW.

| Awesome
The remastering has definitely helped the overall sound of this album. Mick's vocals are clearer, the bass is more pronounced and Keith's guitars sound as if he's in the room with you. A must buy for any Stones fan.

| A Definitive Classic!
"Let It Bleed" is definately one of my favorite Stones albums. Most importantly, it's quite stunning how The Stones could blend in just about any style of music into their own blues/rock fusion, and it shows on this album. From classics like the groovy "Gimmie Shelter" to the gospel/rock of "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Let It Bleed" has stood as not only one of their best albums, but one of their most definitive documents. Keith Richards also gives one of his first solo performances with the excellent country-tinged "You Got The Silver".

| Hard Knocks And Dirty Sox. Hard Rocks, Too!
The Stones' all time best album; "Let It Bleed" was their magnum opus and an excellent way to close the Sixties. From the opening guitar riff on "Gimme Shelter" to the closing choral section and bursting percussion on "You Can't Always Get What You Want", every track was great. The Stones ran the gammut from hard rock to dirty blues to country and quasi-classical. I'd save this one from the hurricane.
