The first thing that encouraged me to try listening to this album is probably the fantastically designed (yet, sadly, somewhat confusing) cover. I can only imagine how much work went in the front, back, and even inner sleeve of this album. As I have it on vinyl, I can fully appreciate all the little details. Like, there's even descriptions for the five Stones as girls, and explanations for why they're all single. This album starts out with one of the songs on my list of songs everyone knows, but no one knows what they are, or who they're by. I've been hearing it on the radio since I was four, but never knew what it was. As soon as the vinyl started spinning, I started having all these incredible flashbacks.
I think what I like most about this album is that it's got a groove to it. A Stones-y kind of groove. Only the Rolling Stones have that groove. Each band has their own groove, but they're all variations of a Stones groove. Make sense? I dunno, makes sense to me.
Before I listened to this album, my favorite song was
Beast Of Burden, cause it's just such a pretty song. After listening to it, my favorite song is now the opener,
Miss You. Once you hear Miss You the first time, it just sorta sticks with you. You can't forget it, no matter how hard you try.
