The Rolling Stones always seemed more masculine than many of their contemporaries. I always thought it had something to do with the heavier rock style but now I realize it's probably attributable to their more misogynistic hits like "Stupid Girl" and "Under My Thumb."
I get this and Out of Our Heads confused all the time, mostly due to the fact that they are both so blues-inspired. But the biggest difference is Mick and Keith became songwriters on this album, penning every track as opposed to only three on the last release.
It's hard to not see this as a link in the chain the Stones are forming. The progression from talented blues fans to one of the greatest bands of all time is only beginning to take shape.
favorite song: "Paint It, Black"
