(Singe) It’s All Over Now / Good Times, Bad Times

*This is part of my ongoing, personal project of listening to every Rolling Stones material released, posted onto this blog for everyone to read and for opinions to flourish. The rating doesn't mean much, because I hate ratings, but might as well.*

(Singe) It’s All Over Now / Good Times, Bad Times

It’s All Over Now

(Bobby Womack and Shirley Womack)
What makes that guitar solo impressive is that it’s being played in such fast speed. Still, Lennon made fun of it. What a guy. Anyway, good song. I don’t feel like 4/5 is right for it, and a 3.75 is too low. (There’s also a nice little story about how his song came to be on Wikipedia, it’s a good read.)
3.9/5

Good Times, Bad Times

(Mick Jagger and Keith Richards)
The second song released on record by the duo of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. And all I can say is, meh. I think that’s the bass you can hear twanging on the string. That is a heavy bass.
2.75/5
6.65/10

Don’t get that semi-above average score fool you, it’s not a bad single. It’s just maybe it’s above semi-average. In my opinion, “above-semi-average” is a good place for this single. This was our first taste of what will come next in the series of Rolling Stones albums (not EPs), 12 X 5. (Looking back a few days after I wrote this, I realized how much it doesn't make sense. But at the same time, it's still how I feel about this single.)
