It\u2019s a bit of mixed bag. But then all of their albums are. Like practically all Stones albums (once they\u2019d turned from a covers band to an originals group) there are two great tracks: She\u2019s A Rainbow and 2,000 Light Years From Home, on this occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1013\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0913.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0913.jpg 1013w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0913-297x300.jpg 297w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0913-768x776.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0913-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there are a number that are just ok, but that\u2019s The Stones for you. Even the repeated Why Don\u2019t We Sing This Song motif, which is the most dated and of its time, isn\u2019t all that bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m remembering aright, but I believe I saw a Jean Luc Godard movie either by or about or featuring The Stones, from around this era. It might even have included stuff from the album? The memories are a bit hazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0910-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3282\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0910-1024x673.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0910-300x197.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0910-768x505.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_0910.jpg 1138w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taking a break during sessions for She\u2019s a Rainbow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole whacked out late-\u201860s psychedelic vibe does both look (that cover!) and sound rather dated and silly now. But for some it may retain certain charms? I feel like I can kind of have my cake and eat it, with this disc: it really is quite silly in places. But I really rather like it, nevertheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All told? Well, yes, it\u2019s a bit of an oddity in their catalogue, but not that big of an aberration, as some would have you believe.
