Their Satanic Majesties Request
Clearly their answer toSgt. Pepper, or at least "All You  Need is Love,"Satanic Majestiesis actually as sloppy an artifact  asFlowers. But even at their most (willfully?) goofy '60s moment, the  Stones came up with some good songs. "She's a Rainbow" is fine second- tier pop-psychedelia, while "2000 Light Years From Home" can still  transmit a pretty handsome case of the Fear. Bill Wyman's "In Another  Land" is as thin as his phased vocal, but still plays better than  "Sing This All Together (See What Happens)." Not the most essential  Stones disc by a long shot, but one that fans will want to own sooner or later.--Rickey Wright
