With this record, the band continued to invoke explicitly sexual and political themes seldom explored at the time, such as the UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar in "Gimme Shelter", [[AllLoveIsUnrequited unrequited love]] in "You Got the Silver" and "Love in Vain", and [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll lust]] in "Let It Bleed" and "Live With Me". The band once faced controversy for these themes, but critics have admired the songs for expressing maturity and passion when confronted with the grim realities of the time. Straddling these complex subjects with [[DefectorFromDecadence the perceived decadence of the time]], the album is hailed as a stylistic and thematic masterpiece.

* CoverSong: "Love In Vain", "Midnight Rambler".


Added DiffLines:

* GenreRoulette: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" starts off with a VocalsOnly choir singing, then moves into a more rockin' sound. "Gimme Shelter" uses a gospel sounding background vocal.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "Gimme Shelter" at one point sings "Rape, murder! It's just a shot away."
* GriefSong: "Gimme Shelter" sings about a CrapsackWorld, though in the final lines we do get a more hopeful message: "I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away."
* HideAndNoSeek: ''Gimme Shelter''.


Added DiffLines:

* PepTalkSong: "You Can't Always Get What You Want" appears to be the opposite, but it does tell the listener: "You can't always get what you want/ but sometimes you'll find/ you'll get what you need."
* RefrainFromAssuming: Despite being released around the same time as The Beatles' ''Let It Be'' album, it was not a PunBasedTitle. The Stones' album came before the Beatles record.
