...Pepper's was the recognition of the problem and the Beatles spent themselves exploring it. The Stones are too cagey for that and Let it Bleed comes whole, with the problem both stated and then briskly, matter-of-factly solved. Thus "Monkey Man"-the song of assured salvation, utter contentment. In Which The Messrs. Stone (Sans Brian) Express Their Complete Satisfaction. Followed immediately by "You Can't Always Get What You Want, but if you try you just might find you can get what you need." Lesson: You can always get what you need . Moral: You had best look...
...Musically Let it Bleed is the great rock and roll masterpiece. On this album the Stones demonstrate their complete mastery of the technique of the long cut.

There are also too many animals at the zoo. Too many dull ones, and too many sleeping. Who wants to walk by skunks, donkeys, wild boars, and alligators to get to the monkey cage? I have nothing to say to those animals. Another problem is the bears. All real bears seem to be wildly imperfect reflections of the ideal pooh. If you don't believe me, go to the Square and look for the girl who sells home-made bears, and says in a tiny voice, "Bears for sale." In the middle of the Square. The girl is so tender...
