Great playing from all, but it's an empty vessel when it comes to meaning or emotion. The lyrics are crap, just trying too hard.

Er, no, Jagger's inspiration is not Baudelaire. It is what it is, a fantastic, classic Stones rocker you can shout along with.

Absolutely brilliant lyrics here that helped further the image of the Stones as bad boys from the other side of the tracks.
Instead of leading off the song with a great guitar riff Keith proves his versatility here by switching to a killer bass intro and don't those notes just tatoo themselves to your brain. Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.
The song drips with sleaze from the first note to the last glorious final Bobby Keys sax fade out. A classic.
In fact the more I hear Let It Bleed the more I realise it really is the Stones materpiece and all time best album.

I agree. Mostly. Only that it's between LIB and SF. Sometimes I think Sticky Fingers is their best but I can never pinpoint why. They're both their best album. However, in terms of their growth, Let It Bleed is the pinnacle. It's the sunrise. Sticky Fingers is the second half of that, the sunset.

Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers are less interesting variations of the formula laid down on Beggars Banquet.
