I have always been a bit ambivalent to this album, but it has grown on me.
The 8,5 minute Sing This All Together (See What Happens) could easily have been skipped - although they seemingly thought it was great fun.
2000 Light Years From Home is a classic, and probably is some of the best work they've ever done, imo.
She's A Rainbow is up there as well.
I have always liked the mystery feeling of The Lantern, as well as Keith's guitar playing on it.
Gomper has grown on me, and there has been times where I have dissed this track, but really meant to talk about Sing This All Together (See What Happens).
In Another Land is underrated, imo. The melody and the atmosphere in this track is really great. Bill's goofy vocals as well.
A good album. Had they included We Love You and Dandelion, it would have been a classic

Agree, but they could have chosen other singles - cuz this album really needed a couple of great tracks more, imo.
To me it sounds no more dated than BTB or Aftermath actually. They belong in their contexts and 67 was a year of mess for the Stones in many ways.Quote

When you compare it with other discs of it's time and ilk, TSMR sounds dated and unfocused. Just a mess really.
I mean...........who really listens to this disc?

I would say, leave the original alone and add We Love You and Dandelion as you suggest. Now that would be a classic.
Looking at the following lineup, I can't believe there are 4 people gone!
In Another Land
Mick Jagger - vocals
Keith Richards - 12 string acoustic guitar, vocals
Brian Jones - mellotron
Bill Wyman - bass guitar, vocals
Charlie Watts - drums
Nicky Hopkins - piano, harpsichord
Steve Marriott & Ronnie Lane - vocals

Like His Majesty mentioned above that "Child of The Moon" is like a 'bridge' between SATANIC MAJESTIES and BEGGARS BANQUET, I would claim that "Dandelion" is a kind of bridge between BETWEEN THE BUTTONS and SATANIC MAJESTIES.

the beginning of Gomper, the first few instrumental bars, is truly unprecedented musical magic (until the singing and with it an only half inspired song sets in); the way the Mellotron sounds on Gomper foreshadow the eerie atmosphere of 2000 Light Years is another brilliant part.

2000 LYFH is the Rolling Stones doing "Science Fiction Rock" and is heavily influenced by the sci fi movies of the late 50s and 60s. It's great. Think Forbidden Planet.
A great song... I think it's innuendo as well although I've never seen that idea mentioned before.Quote
She's a Rainbow is a psychedelic explosion and is up to par with anything on Sgt. Pepper. It's ecstatic.
Another great song.Quote
2000 Man is a "rush" song and it explodes.

The album is a reflecion of the new possibilities and new new newness that was felt in 1967. 1967 was a great year in many ways. Look up "Expo67" for fun. The somewhat naive sense of limitless possibilitoes abounded everywhere. That's what you can feel in TSMR.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I like Satanic much better than Pepper, and always did. I don't hear a really nice melody on ANY song from Pepper, maybe Lucy in the Sky during the refrain but that's it...but the Stones managed to put out several, at least four anyway, Psychadelic songs with great melodies..(Rainbow, 2000 Light Years, Citadel, and 2000 Man)..no disrespect to the Beatles though, adored the Beatles up until Rubber Soul...after that, the Stones produced better druggy music than the Beatles by then IMHO.
