I wonder if, given the benefit of time and 'repeat listenings', whether Landau would stand by his review or disavow it.

I don't know anything about this guy, but from my observations Rolling Stone reviewer are pretty set in their ways and would rather die than admit they were wrong.
The magazine itself isn't as set in their ways and will revisit a review (because sometimes you kind of have to), but you'll often see the revised review written by a different critic as opposed to the original critic eating their plate of crow.
When "Pinkerton" by Weezer came out Rolling Stone gave it probably the most scathing review I've ever seen of an album. I mean, they blew the thing out of the water. But after a while it started getting the credit it (in my opinion) deserved and is now considered a modern classic. In response to all the people beginning to love and respect the album Rolling Stone put out a revised review, by another critic, giving it 5 Stars, adding it to the "Rolling Stone Hall Of Fame" and added it to their "100 Greatest Albums Of The 90's" list.

Landau is too cerebral for Rolling Stones music. John if you are not moved by "Sway" please stay seated and keep typing ...
Rock and Roll,

For many that loved the Stones in the early 60s, it probably took some time to adjust to their new sound, starting with BB?
Just my two cents, I was born the year SF came out, so what do I know
