Rolling Stone - Ranked #63 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The album has tough, straight-up rock..." Q - Ranked #12 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...Re-asserted their rebel status....there's something dark and dangerous lurking at the heart of the music. It was also their most overt drug album....The Rolling Stones' best 'tunes' album." NME - 9 - Excellent Plus - "...captures the Stones bluesy swagger in a...dark-land where few dare to tread...even the jaunty country take `Dead Flowers' has a derisive sneer beneath the hokum delivery..." Rolling Stone - "...driving, intense, wide-open rock..." Vibe - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century Record Collector - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Jagger and Richards delve even further back to the primitive blues that first inspired them and step up their investigations into another great American form, country." Q - 5 stars out of 5 -- "It's the Stones at their assured, showboating peak....[A] magic formula of heavy soul, junkie blues and macho rock..." Rolling Stone - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Recorded over more than a year and finally issued in April 1971, Sticky Fingers was an eclectic affirmation of maturing depth..."

Pieced together from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers has a loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark undercurrents of the songs. Apart from the classic opener, "Brown Sugar," the long workout "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," and the mean-spirited "Bitch," Sticky Fingers is a slow, bluesy affair, with a few country touches thrown in for good measure. The laid-back tone of the album gives ample room for new lead guitarist Mick Taylor to stretch out, but the key to the album isn't the instrumental interplay -- it's the soulfulness of the songs. With its offhand mixture of decadence, roots music, and outright malevolence, Sticky Fingers set the tone for the rest of the decade for the Stones. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine|

アンディーウォーホールデザインのジッパー付きジャケで人気の高い71年のアルバムにして、R．Stoneレコード第1弾アルバム。必殺！としか言いようのないR&R(1)や、グッと深みを増したバラード表現(3）など、ハーツへの理解度とＰＯＰさがバランス良く共存している。 (C)DaKaRa
