Editorial Review:
Part druggy experiment, part musical rivalry with the Fab Four, and a total anomaly in the Rolling Stones' catalogue, THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST contains at least three trippy classics in "Citadel," "She's a Rainbow," and "2000 Light Years From Home." That it also contains an extensive sample of Bill Wyman snoring and an eight-minute stoned jam that begins with the timeless phrase "Where's that joint?" is a measure of SATANIC MAJESTIES' breadth of genius and folly.
There's a lot going on here--try comparing the wayward Eastern atmospheres of "Gomper" to anything on BEGGAR'S BANQUET, and marvel that you're listening to the same band. The fact that Jagger and Richards could still come up with the unimpeachably charming "She's a Rainbow"--baroque pop at its finest--and a fair stab at heavy R&B in "The Lantern," while attempting to negotiate the band's rocky passage through Flower Power is a tribute to their vision, their perseverance, and their drugs of choice.

Description of Their Satanic Majesties Request:
Clearly their answer to Sgt. Pepper, or at least "All You Need is Love," Satanic Majesties is actually as sloppy an artifact as Flowers. 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
Their Satanic Majesties Request Reviews:
Not a SACD 
2009-08-19 - To all buyers: This product is not a SACD, just the DSD version of a plain, regular CD. Amazon should take care of the information shown in their website!! In my case, living out of USA, it doesn't make any sense to return the CD back to the USA. An international courier will cost at least 5 times the price of the CD. Let me assume I got an spare part!!
Well, it's half-great! 
2009-07-15 - Um, how to review this, the most scorned of all The Stones' 60's output? Well it's actually really great in some parts; while I do not believe this is their best album (ha!) it has some great songs, the opener, Sing This All Together is superb, Citadel is my pick for best song on the entire album, and one of the Stones' best (maybe...); In Another Land is awful, the vocals anyhow, sounds like Spinal Tap, I mean that literally, the vocals, it reminds me of them, I don't know who more, David St. Hubbins or Nigel Tufnel...it's a pretty bad song...(SNORING at the end?)...2000 Man is another highlight, as is 2000 Light Years From Home, and She's A Rainbow is masterful, it's wonderful.
The Lantern has some great guitar parts.
That just leaves the true dreck, like the interminable and unfathomable Sing This All Together (See What Happens); this track is like the Stones' "Revolution 9", albeit psychedelic and not as disturbing, but still, it's a mess, and no song, except the last minute and a half or so...
Gomper goes nowhere, and On With The Show ain't exactly Sgt. Pepper's theme (but this album ain't Sgt. Pepper, which, despite being one of the most overrated albums ever, is better than this overall)
That said, half of this is just GREAT, and the artwork...
the inner artwork is beautiful, it's been ages since I owned the vinyl,
I had the 3D version, and the front cover here just don't work for me, so I FIXED it; I put inside it the 3D card that came inside Golden Throats Volume Two, which was kept in Vol. One as I had sold Vol. Two...
It looks much better than the boring tiny Satanic Majesties non-3D cover, even with Bing Crosby in it.
I can wholeheartedly recommend half of this album to all Stones fans.
Cheers!
the stones psychedelic gem!! 
2009-07-11 - the rolling stones their satanic majesties request is an odd but very cool psychedelic record for it,s time and now,the stones released this record towards the end of 1967 which was a very cool year in rock music history,at the time this album was released there were inevetable comparisons to the beatles sgt peppers which also was released that same year.satanic majesties was critized by some fans and the music press as sounding half baked and unlike the stones trademark sound,there are some strange cuts on it like gomper,sing this alltogether and in another land,but for me the coolest cuts are,2000 light years from home,2000 man,citadel,she,s a rainbow and the lantern. as a stones fan and psychedelic music i would get this cd,and the cover is one of the coolest in rock!!
what is wrong with you?!?! 
2009-06-18 - They say this is a cheap rip-off of Sgt pepper but isn't sgt pepper a rip off of pet sounds. The songs are out of left field with crazy mid-eastern atmospheres and space rock looseness all tied together with Brian's crazy electric dulcimer. Easily my favorite instrument he ever used!
Arranged by the Rolling Stones
2009-04-06 - Whenever someone grills me as to why I think Brian Jones was the guiding light of the Rolling Stones, I always direct them to "Gomper." The last two-thirds of this tune, while credited to "Jagger-Richard," are undoubtedly of Brian Jones' inspiration--and a total freakout by second-only-to-the-Beatles standards--followed by "2000 Light-Years from Home," which is equally indebted to Jones, as is the subsequent "On with the Show." Beyond this, "Their Satanic Majesties Request" is the last Stones album to bear the following five words: "Arranged by the Rolling Stones." What this means is that apart from, perhaps, "Child of the Moon," what is to come is just so much Glimmer Twins-style musical excrement. Try whistling "Ruby Tuesday" next to "Honky-Tonk Women" and you'll know what I mean.
