Eric Clapton always gives us a beautiful interpretation of his blues idols, and he delivers very well with this record.
It's difficult for an album to touch me the way this one does. The guitar play from Eric Clapton and Duane Allman is simply a match made in heaven, the lyrics are very touching, you can clearly absorb the sadness and desperation Clapton shows in his voice, the soul Bobby Withlock put into his keyboard is phenomenal and everything there sounds really great in general.
Let It Bleed continues the consistence and maturation from Beggar's Banquet and delivers a timeless masterpiece, in a very well crafted mixture of rock, country and blues. The opening track is as hauting as it's sublime, and it sets well the tone for the rest of the album.
The beginning of the greatest run of albums in music's history. The Stones nailed going back to the blues roots after having troubles with the critics and the public with their experimentations in Their Satanic Majesties Requests, having finished the maturation of their sonority and delivering one of their greatest albums. Everything there clicks really well.
This album has really touched me, and it's a shame that people have such negative thoughts about this only because they perceive it merely as a Sgt.Peppers "copy".

There are records that can't be described by words, it's all about the journey. Milton and Lô both delivered a timeless masterpiece with an album that mixes elements ranging from the brazilian music to The Beatles in a very cohesive way, with beautiful lyrics and amazing arrangements overall
This album would be a solid 100 if not for the unnecessary number of tracks it contains and the overall final part, that is filled with plain bad songs that do not live for the standards they created with the beggining of the record
This one is my favourite album from them hands down, and I truly don't know why it is so underrated by the fans. The return to their blues roots is pretty solid, contains loads of killer songs and the instrumentals are overall on point, with Robby Krieger stealing the show with his riffs. I don't see it as the best record made by them, but it surely is the most cohesive.
