...I wouldn't go that far.
The Stones started out as a blues band (as opposed to the Beatles pop sound) so the mostly unfamiliar music on this album is much more a part of their DNA.
The critics have pretty much universally praised the album.
I like it a little more with each listen, but the sound is a little too ragged and raw for me - it's not 1963 anymore.
