TSMR is a very poor album with some excellent songs on it. That's why it sucks as an album. It's too weighed down by the poor songs on it. It's nothing to do with making them better or sound better later. It's just how it turned out. There was definitely a maturation musically after BTButtons with some of what was done on TSMR (2000 Light Years, 2000 Man, She's A Rainbow, Citadel - astounding that the album before this is a completely different band when compared to those tracks).
That's where it ends. The rest of the songs, as experimental as they are being moot, must've been recorded before they decided to musically mature because they're very... dumb. Like a young band full of kids that want to create mystical settings in their music with whacky songs and sounds.
JJF and BB was the result of the maturation and, mostly so, Jimmy Miller.

On the contrary, the utterly experimental SATANIES MAJESTIES REQUEST is greater than the sum of its parts to a larger degree than any other Stones-album, despite the fact that there are more to so many of these parts than their reputation. It is an entity. The outcome of all this is that this album is on par with and in consequently in the class of the never contested greatness of their four studio albums '68-'72.

There is obviously a '60's bias with this list.
'Undercover' and 'A Bigger Bang' are both much better than the 1967 albums.
'Between the Buttons' is overrrated. "Who's Been Sleeping Here?" versus "Laugh,I Nearly Died" ????? Seriously no comparison.

"Why Don't We Sing This Song All Together and See What Happens" is even 3 times worse than the regular "Why Don't We Sing This Song All Together".

Can't choose between Exile, Beggars Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed, or between Aftermath/Goats Head Soup. That is like choosing between Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, Wagner and Brahms, or between your right ball and your left ball I guess.

Reading the lists above, I come to think that I'm really far from being an "orthodox" RS fan (or maybe I ain't a fan at all ), as my list differs from others immensely (from best to worst):
Sticky Fingers
Steel Wheels
It's Only R'n'r
Goats Head Soup
Dirty Work
Tattoo You
Let it Bleed
Beggars Banquet
Black And Blue
Bridges to Babylon
Voodoo Lounge
Some Girls
Aftermath
Exile on Main Street (hey, this one is just TOO LONG, has anybody noticed this?)
Rolling Stones I
Bigger Bang
Undercover
Emotional Rescue
Out of Our Heads
Rolling Stones II
Between the Buttons
Their Satanic Majesties Request
(have I missed anything?)

Dirty Work is clearly their worst album. The album that everybody seems to not like is It's Only Rock 'N' Roll I love that album!

Obviously, it's not clearly their worst album, if you look at all the posters's lists

If some people lack clarity though, his statement could still be true.

It's not transparent enough to see...

charlie once rated Stripped as their second best album. Bridges has a lot of variety and if Undercover had a successful Angie style ballad people would hold it up and wave it around a lot more.
always loved the "sound" of Emotional & Black n Blue.
