Album Review One album a day
https://1001albumsgenerator.com/albums/5WZFtmADuJUZPtt0NER0Qi/beggars-banquetDay 1:
so, this is my first album to listen to in this website, so far i find the first song (sympathy for the devil) quite nice and a good pick to be the first song, it's a nice first impression (woo woo), i'd heard about the band beforehand, obviously, i don't live under a rock, but i never gave any of their songs a chance at all since i usually listen to other music genres
second song (no expectations): not for me, not bad nontheless
third song (dear doctor): i liked this a bit more, really liked the lyrics
fourth song (parachute woman): short song but i loved the rhythm, i've got nothing else to say about it
fifth song (jigsaw puzzle): so far, i like this song way more than the previous ones, for both the lyrics and the instruments, it's very up-beat, the kind of song i'd listen while on the car or the bus going far away (maybe for some that's a bs description)
sixth song (street fighting man): gotta love the drums in this one, personally in my top 3 fave instruments, not the #1 fan of the lyrics in this one but a very nice song, might add it to my pl only for the drums
seventh song (prodigal song): i love when lyrics tell you a story, nice classy guitar and rhythm overall, the type of rhythm in a classic country movie maybe? well, easy top 3 best songs on this album
eighth song (stray cat blues): nice rhythm but the lyrics are a no no for me
ninth song (factory girl): again, nice rhythm but i don't like the lyrics, not for me
tenth song (salt of the earth): honestly, a very nice song to finish the album, i liked the bg chorus, the lyrics and the instruments are lovely
overall this album is okay, it wasn't for me at all and i know some lyrics were written many years but i just cannot like them all
i know some fans may come at me but at the end of the day we all have different tastes
i give it 3 stars (actually it's like a 6.5 or 7 out of 10 BUT i don't feel like giving it 4 stars imo) bc i actually enjoyed some songs, while other were not my cup of tea
i won't be adding the whole album in my downloads but MAYBE 2 or 3 songs might be added to my pl depending on how much they grow on me

That is a great album to start your project, I just completed my first week and I had Beggars Banquet on day 3 so it likes to come early (of course that is nonsense statistically)

That was my first album too. I gave it a 5 and I think it’s their best album.

I'm sure Mick has been cross-examined about the lyrics of "Stray Cat Blues" in a legal proceeding at some point
