I'm not about to put myself in the place of criticising the music of the Rolling Stones. That has been done by better and more insightful writers than I can hope to be over the forty years since this was released. The review is going to look at the DSD SACD release from a sound quality point of view.
1- Unless you are invited over for a private listening session by the engineers you are not going to get any closer to hearing the music as it exists on the masters than this. I own this as an LP with the early pressing reticulated cover. This sound is better than the analog LP.
2- Because the sound quality is so faithful to the original some pretty amazing stuff can be heard in the mix. Stuff that is usually cleaned up, amp noise, and the like, comes through in a few places. Uneven levels are apparent in a few places.
3- Having said that, getting to hear She's A Rainbow, arguably the most commercial oriented cut on the disc, in this format breathes some real life into it.
If this is one of your favorite Stones records then getting it in this format is worth the expense. You will not be disappointed. The SACD is dual layer which means it will play on any CD player. To take advantage of the DSD layer you need a player capable of playing the SACD format. I've not listened to the CD layer, only the DSD layer so these comments do not apply to the CD version on the disc.

The first time I listened to this album, I'm like what the hell is this? It's weird and at times annoying and immediately I hated it. But after I listened to it a few times it grew on me, and it was yet something different for the Stones. They've done almost every genre, so why not weird, psychodelic, medevil, whatever you want to call it. They put in some weird citar sounds and it sounds like it should be the soundtrack of a medevil Robin Hood on drugs movie.
Casual fans probably won't like this album, it sounds absolutely nothing like anything they've ever done before or since. But die hard fans will appreciate the bold move that the Stones made, doing something a little off kilter. The songs are experimental, and fresh for those who weren't around to hear them when they were originally released. The only song I knew before listening to this album was She's a Rainbow, but there are a lot of gems on this one if you give it a chance. Citadel is probably my favorite song on the album, it's a little more like the Stones older material. 2000 Light Years From Home and 2000 Man are also excellent tracks. But this album isn't about single tracks, it's about the album as a whole, which is an experimental piece of work that may drive some people crazy, but for those with patience and an open mind, I think they'll find this a true work of art.
I read some reviews by others and found that it's either you love it or you hate it. Maybe that's the way it is with this album. I personally love it, but it took me a few listens to feel that way. It's definitely different so I gives kudos to the Stones for doing something new, regardless if their fans or critics liked it or not.
