the album is an underrated classic; while its psychedelic aspects could be construed as being rather dated, the songwriting prevails, as Jagger and Richard conjure myriad hooks and strong melodies to accompany the songs' psychedelic overtones. Their Satanic Majesties' Request is simply a very strong set of songs, a collection of tracks boasting high quality melodies that are further enhanced rather than marred by their psychedelic gimmicks. Said gimmicks never obstruct the hooks or dilute the melodies, they simply augment the charm of an already excellent album. Whether or not they're dated the psychedelic components are quite entertaining, helping to differentiate the album from anything else in the band's discography, leaving a very unique Stones listening experience.
