Their Satanic Majesties Request was a brief and uncharacteristic diversion for The Rolling Stones as they attempted to go psychedelic. Best remembered for the 3D cover. (US:2 UK:3)
"The actual music follows the psychedelic trend that was happening at the time but with a Stones twist to it, being as Jagger's voice keeps you from floating off into space, while the other members play with a clear goal to tackle a theme that they were probably not accustomed to at all. As a more experimental album from the early period of the band, it's pretty underrated in the Stones canon."
"This album really grows on you the more you listen to it. Some of the tracks are downright hypnotizing. Sure there are some misfires, and a couple of the tracks are downright unlistenable because The Stones were just trying too hard to be trippy and psychedelic on them. But there are some gems too. 2000 Light Years From Home is an utter masterpiece. It had a huge influence of the development of space rock and conveys a bitter sense of loneliness and isolation better than almost any other song."
"The much maligned Their Satanic Majesties Request is The Rolling Stones obvious response to The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album. The band dived headfirst into the psychedelic sounds of 1967's Summer of Love and the album sounds like no other in their catalogue. Despite the criticism and attempt to keep pace with The Beatles (including the original 3-D cover), the album contains some excellent songs."
"Their Satanic Majesties Request is a piece of psychedelic bliss and is more than welcome change to The Rolling Stones original blues rock sound which they switched back to after this release, which makes it just as wonderful."
"1967 was the year when psychedelia was at its zenith and several bands released albums showing its influence. It bears a dense, textured dark vibe throughout, full of exotic sounds and great songs. 2000 Man, She's A Rainbow and 2000 Light Years From Home are all top shelf."
