Everyone has a different opinion regarding these remixes and frankly, i just can't see myself listening to this whole album in one sitting as there is too much redundancy. These are essentially three remixes of the same song, with a long and short version of each for a total of six track ranging from under four minutes to over 8 minutes in lenght.

But never mind all that!

This album is A MUST for anyone because of it's last track: The original Sympathy for the Devil, beautifully remixed in 5.1 Multichanel Audio. Here, the lead guitar and vocals use the center chanel and the congas and maracas have been sent to the surrounds to provide a nice envelopping sound without getting cheezy...

If only all the Stones' Abkco rereleases were like this!

My favorite stones song, so this review may be a bit baised. I love this SACD, but do agree w/ the other review that it can be a bit redundant, it repeats, it says the same thing over and over... get the picture? Yes, the last track is brilliant, but I also love the Fatboy Slim take on the song. very cool.
