Influenced by intense love affairs and a demanding touring itinerary, Jagger and Richards wrote the album around psychodramatic themes of love, sex, desire, power and dominance, hate, obsession, modern society and rock stardom. Lasting only thirty minutes and without a single line of spoken dialogue (the odd moan though) Nacho Cerdà’s Aftermath takes us into a morgue and the daily operations of its team of morticians. Along with Jones’ instrumental textures, the Stones incorporated a wider range of chords and stylistic elements beyond their Chicago blues and R&B influences, such as pop, folk, country, psychedelia, Baroque and Middle Eastern music. This is certainly a title that made a splash upon its initial release and it’s not too difficult to see why. Brian Jones reemerged as a key contributor and experimented with instruments not usually associated with popular music, including the sitar, Appalachian dulcimer, Japanese koto and marimbas, as well as playing guitar and harmonica. It is their first album to consist entirely of original compositions, all of which were credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Aftermath is considered by music scholars to be an artistic breakthrough for the Rolling Stones.
