Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Their Satanic Majesties Request is the sixth studio album (eighth American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in 1967. The album cover is well-known for being one of the very first 3D album covers. Their Satanic Majesties Request remains contested, as it's the Stones at their most experimental. It was recorded during a tumultuous time in the band's history, when Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and Keith Richards were under threat of prison charges for drug possession. Bill Wyman even got one of his songs ("In Another Land") on the album, and it's the only Stones song with Wyman on lead vocals.Another reason the album got mixed reviews at the time was because it followed in the wake of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band earlier that year and many saw it as a blatant rip-off, both in music as well as design. John Lennon expressed this opinion too in a 1971 interview, also saying that "She's a Rainbow" was an imitation of "All You Need Is Love" from Magical Mystery Tour. Which is somewhat a strange opinion, seeing that both Lennon and Paul McCartney provided uncredited backing vocals on some of the songs from this album and that the Stones themselves saluted Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the album cover. Also, graphic artist Michael Cooper designed the covers of both albums, thus unfavourable comparisons would be unavoidable.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While its generally not remembered for being among the Stones finest albums - several of the songs have become highly popular, including Mick Jagger's own favourites - "She's a Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years from Home", while "Citadel", "In Another Land" and "2000 Man" are also well regarded today. |

Three-Dimensional Episode: The cover of this album originally featured a lenticular 3D image of the band. The image was meant to take up the whole of the LP sleeve, but was shrunken down to cut costs. The effect is replicated on most recent LP reissues on the album, as well as a Japan-only SHM-CD reissue. |

Last Note Nightmare: "She's a Rainbow" has a good driving beat, Mick sings the praises of a girl who dresses up in colours, underlined with a cheerfully inane 'la la la' chorus, he alternates verses with a sprightly Baroque piano playing the tune...then it ends with strings in a shrill chittering discord with a low-end chord of doom under it bursting through everything else! |

Shout-Out: On the album cover the message Welcome The Beatles can be read. This is a reference to the doll with the text Welcome The Rolling Stones on The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The faces of each of the Fab Four are also hidden in the cover art. Among the paintings depicted on the collage inside the cover, art fans can recognize images from paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolas Poussin and Jean-Dominique Ingres. "On with the Show" The American neo-psychedelic band The Brian Jonestown Massacre (yes, they are indeed partially named after Brian Jones) called their fourth album Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request from 1996. |
