Summary: Could Have Been Edited to One Very Good Album
Comment: Everyone heaps praise on this, but like the Beatles White Album, I think it could have been condensed into one very good album. Don't get me wrong - there are some great songs here - Sweet Vriginia, Torn and Frayed, Tumbling Dice, etc. - but is Turd on the Run really top notch Stones material? Ventilator Blues and Just Wanna See His Face also could have been dropped without any big loss. I know that diehard Stones fans will disagree, but this album has way too much "filler".

Summary: Best record of the album era
Comment: There has long been a Beatles vs. Stones battle. The Beatles, in my opinion, are in a class of their own. The Stones, though, deserve their World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll band moniker, the Beatles being more of a pop band. If I was stranded on the proverbial desert island with only one album, this would be it. It is the Stones at their finest. It is raw and emotional. It promotes hip shaking.
I don't review music because it is so highly personal. I made an exception for this one.

Summary: I don;t think it's good
Comment: cuz some songs in formal studio version lost some oringinal feeling
like shine alight,all down the line, loving cup
their demo version sounds much better than the one on exile
this 2lp contains some classic
but not perfect stones album at all!(cuz too separated,not has a total theme)

Summary: Mish-Mash of Rushed & Blurry Mis-Direction
Comment: The best Stones album is "Let It Bleed". My favourite Stones albums are "Goats Head Soup" and "Decembers Children". Exile is a bunch of tracks scraped from the bottom of the barrel and recorded in dysfunctional chaose at Keith's Heroin House in the South of France in the Summer of 1971. I love the Stones, but this is so far below their standard.

Summary: That indescribable "bluesy swagger"
Comment: I would not want to call myself a big Stones fan, in fact 'Exile' is their only album I own. I rate it at 5 stars. On this record, these Rolling Stones have that indescribable, what I call "bluesy swagger", all over them. Just listen to songs like 'Shine a light' and 'Sweet Virginia'. These Rolling Stones know their history, after Johnson and Muddy, they have taken it to a whole new level. This is no sell-out but rather a big ode to these old Bluesmen. Excellent and timeless.
