DETAILSMost widely known as the first album the band did of all original compositions, it is also important because it is the band's first great album. It is as fearsome as their singles, perhaps more so, as the band is allowed to be the more vile then they have ever been on songs such as "Stupid Girl" ("look at that stupid girl, the way she powders her nose, she's the worst thing in this world"), "Under My Thumb" ("under my thumb, a squirming dog who just had her day), and "It's Not Easy" ("gotcha running like a cat in a thunderstorm"), all about Mick Jagger's ex-girlfriends.
These kind of songs have their roots in the r&b of the early sixties but also point towards something new with the way the band lays down the melodies. The band also really thinks out of the box instrumentally, with Brian Jones adding a variety of background sound with sitar and Indian influence, marimba to "Under My Thumb", slide guitar to "Don't Cha Bother Me", etc. The most important thing that Aftermath finally gets right about the group is that they can balance these hard rocking tunes with moments of pure beauty such as the dulcimer driven "Lady Jane", the somewhat generic but still entertaining "Think", and the hidden pop gem "I Am Waiting", which is one of the most underrated songs from the band's entire catalogue.
Only "Flight 505" and "High and Dry" ring false notes and are skippable. Last but not least, the album ends with an eleven-minute blues ditty called "Going Home" which is a durable tune despite its extended length.
This song sets a precedent for longer songs on albums from 1966, as like-minded musician's from all over the world were experimenting with longer song lengths: The Seed's "Up in Her Room", Frank Zappa's "Monster Magnet", Bob Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", Love's "Revelation", The Who's "A Quick One", and "Paul Butterfield's "East West". In all,
Aftermath set a new standard for how to make a rock album and it never gets old.
