While "Sympathy for the Devil", "Street Fightin' Man" and "Stray Cat Blues" are all fantastic tracks, Beggars Banquet is a hybrid of sorts where a fair share of tracks don't hit quite as hard as those. Interesting listen, all the same.

It's kinda weird that the same band that cut 'Sympathy for the Devil' for this album still filled a third of the runtime with amateurish, unnatural roots-rock songs.

Damn, it was probably the worst Stones record I've ever heard. What's this average score...?

A classic album by the Rolling Stones, with amazing tracks like Sympathy for the Devil, Street Fighting Man and so on. Although it does stagger a couple of times in its path, it still is an outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable album.

"Sympathy for the Devil" is one of the most powerful and engrossing songs ever written. Universal classic, and I don't use that term lightly. "No Expectations" tries to convey a feeling of forlornness and desperation, but, ultimately falls flat on its ass. In polar opposition to its nonpareil predecessor. Sad. "Dear Doctor" is fun and silly; yet, I find myself listening to it on repeat. It works well. "Parachute Woman" is an excellent blues-infused track. Lovely. "Jigsaw Puzzle" tries exceptionally hard to create beauty hidden underneath its lyrics; no such luck. A dud. "Street Fighting Man" is not entirely forgettable, as it does rock slightly. I just can't rock intensely to this song. I really wish I could. Next to "Sympathy for the Devil", "Prodigal Son" is my favorite on this album. Beautiful cover. "Stray Cat Blues" is better than any rocker on "Sticky Fingers". Perverse, but man, does it rock hard. Love it. "Factory Girl" is a dud; unfortunate. "Salt of the Earth" is too self-indulgent, and quite frankly, I think it's a terrible album closer. This album most definitely has its standout moments, but overall, this is just the Stones beginning to come into their own. B-r- Zach

Great sounding record, but slightly overrated by many critics. It is one of the first albums by the Stones where you
can finally hear them establishing their identity, especially after being so completely LOST on the prior album (THEIR
SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST). While there are several undeniable classic songs and a great vibe throughout, most of these
songs seem 2nd rate when contrasted with the albums that would follow. The Country-Rock influence of Gram Parsons
begins to waft in to their writing in a pleasing way. Certainly a nice album with a great vibe, but not quite a perfect
one for me.
Highlights: "Sympathy For The Devil", "Stray Cat Blues", "No Expectations" and "Salt Of The Earth".

Classic country blues/roots rock album. "Sympathy for the Devil" deserves its hype, as does the other radio classic "Street Fighting Man", though they both differ from the rest of the album in style. Every song here is illustrative and insightful, remaining truthful to the old musical styles the Stones emulate, and they all rock and roll just as you'd expect. And "Salt of the Earth" is one hell of a closer. This album is easy and fun and sounds warmly of the dog days of summer.

Not on a par with the "other three" but still very good

| 2.5 average | PedroH | April 24th 10 |
Only "Sympathy For The Devil" can justify this rating. The rest is non interesting music (that, curiously, often sounds a bit country).
Furthermore, and surprisingly for such a successful band, Mick Jagger voice does not deserve more than an average rating.

Well, it definitely matches the hype, although not quite what some might expect. The album's got a definite country and blues vibe to it, with most tracks sporting some excellent slide guitar, which makes for quite a departure from the rhythm&blues-based stuff of their earlier work. I must admit, the album doesn't rock that hard, but the few rockers there are ("Street Fighting Man", "Stray Cat Blues" and of course "Sympathy for the Devil") do quite well. A definite Stones classic.
