let's put it like that: if they played live every album they recorded and if I had to miss one concert only, this would be the concert i'd miss

I like several of the songs, but it doesn't work very well as an album for me. I really enjoy 2000 Man, Citadel, She's A Rainbow, and 2000LYFH. Since they're so spread out, the album doesn't really flow for me.

I used to skip "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)", without that shit it's a really cool album with those absolute must singles: "She's A Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years From Home". Very important cool part of The Rolling Stones history for sure.
I simply love it!

It's an album I used to put on a lot when I was studying the effects of temporal release from the earth's gravitational pull and it sure did work a treat.

So you say you had floating experiences while listening?

No Rolling Stones album, a marketing product to improve the selling rates on the Pop market.The absolute musical low point in their career. Shameless and tasteless fishing in the Beatles pond ...

Those two songs alone make this album worth it for me.

2000 ManSing This All Together (See What Happens)Skip this.
She's a Rainbow
The Lantern
Gomper
2000 Light Years from Home The three important songs, the only ones that really matter.On with the ShowPointless, could be there as some filler but only if the album had really great songs.

It's much more psychelic musically than Sgt. Pepper. It's a weird musical comparison, imo.

Indeed. Couldn't agree more Dandy. Listening to Sgt Pepper always kept my feet firmly on the ground. With Satanic - and I think the thin, metallic mix had as much to do with it as the sounds and lyrics - I always felt in flight and other worldly. This is exactly what they set out to achieve.
People make the mistake of thinking that it should sound like a typical Rolling Stones album. Wrong. It was a unique departure and the band wanted to get away from the blues, r'n'b and rock'n'roll and sound totally different.
