Tell Me :
Talk
I really love The Lantern. I agree with Redhotcarpet on this one (for once!). It might even be the strongest track on the album, and a centerpiece.
8/10 and 9/10 are not merely «good». That's closer to «excellent», isn't it?
Yes! (I agree with you on various subjects but dont tell anyone). Yes The Lantern is exactly that, a centerpiece. Well put. And I have to say that to my ears and eyes this is not Sgt Pepper by the Stones. Sgt Pepper is something else. This is the Stones in acid and prog country more than Pepperland. Sure the opening track and the idea of a reprise and a show is copied but not the music.
"Sing This All Together" as a song it is a 0/10. As an opener to this particular album it is somehow, strangely, necessary. Perhaps a 3/10.
"Citadel" 7/10 (it's a great track but I have to save the high ratings for their true masterpieces and their great album songs/fillers etc).
"In Another Land" 2/10 (the structure isnt bad actually but the lyrics and the vocals suck except for the "awoke" part. Wyman has contributed in oh some many ways to many songs, studio and live, but this song is crap).
"2000 Man" 4/10 (well, no, sorry not a very good song. Some parts are good, the energy is great. again, they have so many good fillers on other albums)
"Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" They could have kept the intro and just created some collage. 1/10
"She's a Rainbow" 6/10 (overrated flower pop dity I dont care for)
"The Lantern" 8/10 (I want to say 10/10)
"Gomper" 5/10 (necessary to the album)
"2000 Light Years from Home" 8/10 (10/10 in some ways but gotta save those high numbers)
"On with the Show" 2/10

That said this is still a favourite of mine. As an album it's not a five or four, more like 6/10. If this was the only album by them Id rate The Lantern 10/10, Citadel 9/10, 2000 light 10/10, Rainbow 8/10, 2000 man 6/10 etc.

True. But this is a scale solely invented for the TSMR album. It's not an absolute scale.
I mean, compared to Gimme Shelter, Jumping Jack Flash, Tumbling Dice or Let It Loose, Citadel and She's a Rainbow would be somewhere between 6 or 7 (She's a Rainbow maybe close to 8). So: good, not excellent.
However, your verdict is not neutral. It depends on your taste. Mine may for instance be, if I judge the parts and not the parts as constituting a whole (even if, I am not able to do that). Because here the total is greater than the parts.
"Sing This All Together" 7,5/10
"Citadel" 7,5/10
"In Another Land" 9,5/10
"2000 Man" 8/10
"Sing This All Together (See What Happens)" 7/10
"She's a Rainbow" 10/10
"The Lantern" 9,5/10
"Gomper" 10/10
"2000 Light Years from Home" 10 one (or two) *(*)/10
"On with the Show" 9/10

The weirdest parts of TSMR indeed sound rather "floydish" than "beatle-esque".
The Lantern is oddly good... in a weird B-side way. Pink Floyd indeed.
TSMR as an EP:
We Love You
Citadel
2000 Man
She's A Rainbow
2000 Light Years From Home
That would've been a much more respectable release.
Take out the remaining Sing This All Together, 2000 Man and On With The Show, maybe add Child of the Moon and you'd have an odd but very enjoyable and certainly artistically good album.
I always forget that Dandelion was, although started for BTB, worked on and finished for TSMR. Great tune.
Perhaps, but I was shooting for full album length with the better tracks from the sessions. STAT and On With The Show aren't great, but they do kind of frame the album and I think the segway from STAT to Citadel is cool. I love 2000 Man, but Child of the Moon, although it fits the vibe, was recorded in 1968, not part of the Satanic Sessions. It would definitely improve the album, but the next album was much better!!
Well put!
Did you listen to the Mono or Stereo version? It's even better in Mono. Tight, kick-ass rock album. Essential to have in Mono.
Alas, Child Of The Moon was never worked on for TSMR, it was only started.
The abbreviation thing does get a little frustrating when it's overused, but TMSR is a very common one around these parts. Like YCAGWYW, LSTNT, and CYHMK, it saves a lot of typing for the longer-named songs. But using it for shorter titles (S for Sway?) can be confusing. Your SS Example could be Soul Survivor or Star Star.
done thank you. good point.

Yes, it's difficult, and at the beginning I was constantly at a loss but after a while you get used to it. The longer ones (YCAGWYW) are the easiest. It's the short ones that are more diffucult but normally they're only used for the greatest hits. I don't think I have ever seen someone referring to certain songs as H or S or S or S or S
. Sometimes googling helps too (i.e. try "Rolling Stones SFTD" ).
Still, the distinction between Beggars Banquet, Between The Buttons, Black And Blue, Bridges To Babylon and Brigit Bardotte often escapes me.
Talk about your favorite band.

I love 2000 Light Years, 2000 Man, Citadel and She's A Rainbow. Apart from those I can't really get into the rest of the album. The other songs seem to just wander in a druggy haze without much direction. Bill Wyman's tune is a novelty but not really an example of what I want from the Stones. But oh man, how they did find a new mojo with JJF!

Spud and Red Hot Carpet have got it right - it's an 'experience' album that needs to be listened to in its entirety.
Heard in isolation perhaps only the three obvious songs - Citadel, She's A Rainbow and 2000 Light Years From Home - would stand alone and up to scrutiny in this day and age.
But heard as a complete work in one go then the album is a great psychedelic adventure that is full of charm and good humour. And yes, Sing This Song All Together (See What Happens) and Gomper belong on there as much as Within You, Without You belongs on Sgt Pepper.

True. But this is a scale solely invented for the TSMR album. It's not an absolute scale.
I mean, compared to Gimme Shelter, Jumping Jack Flash, Tumbling Dice or Let It Loose, Citadel and She's a Rainbow would be somewhere between 6 or 7 (She's a Rainbow maybe close to 8). So: good, not excellent.

Other than very rarely hearing the more obviously well known tracks now & again, I really haven't taken this seriously for more years that some of the fans here have been alive but I sort of stumbled on it and got engaged and let it play all the way through the full album as released, and don't throw too many bricks but I loved it all the way through; I hope I'm not having a flash back or something; trying to think back to when it was released; I got into it; I loved a few right off the bat but even in '67 it wasn't a particular favorite all thru so I was delightfully surprised; I really just loved it; felt really comfortable with all of it; a lot of stuff I had thought second rate really shone. I know it's the easy one to slag but I'm recasting it's place in my casual list of the disography rating; I think there are at least a half-dozen studio LP's I'd rate below it easily now. Maybe more. I was surprised it was engaging as a whole piece and now I'm a real fan of this whole album.
Did you listen to the Mono or Stereo version? It's even better in Mono. Tight, kick-ass rock album. Essential to have in Mono.

TSMR stands for Their Satanic Majesties Request. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out. Hopkins, if you want people to participate in your thread, you need to be more specific. Not being sarcastic, but just trying to help out.
If I said my favorite Stones songs were GGA, TAY, LWYD, or SS, would you instantly know what I was referring to?

The abbreviation thing does get a little frustrating when it's overused, but TMSR is a very common one around these parts. Like YCAGWYW, LSTNT, and CYHMK, it saves a lot of typing for the longer-named songs. But using it for shorter titles (S for Sway?) can be confusing. Your SS Example could be Soul Survivor or Star Star.

I guess I should go listen to Majesties again. While I've continued to listen to the standout tracks, it's been so long that I can't even remember what Gomper or Lantern sounded like. But in my general history of Stones fandom, this is the only album where I've let some of it completely disappear from my memory. Guess those tracks didn't leave much of an original impression.

TSMR stands for Their Satanic Majesties Request. It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out. Hopkins, if you want people to participate in your thread, you need to be more specific. Not being sarcastic, but just trying to help out.
If I said my favorite Stones songs were GGA, TAY, LWYD, or SS, would you instantly know what I was referring to?
Yes, it's difficult, and at the beginning I was constantly at a loss but after a while you get used to it. The longer ones (YCAGWYW) are the easiest. It's the short ones that are more diffucult but normally they're only used for the greatest hits. I don't think I have ever seen someone referring to certain songs as H or S or S or S or S
. Sometimes googling helps too (i.e. try "Rolling Stones SFTD" ).Still, the distinction between Beggars Banquet, Between The Buttons, Black And Blue, Bridges To Babylon and Brigit Bardotte often escapes me.
