Still inspired by their STICKY FINGERS recording sessions in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, EXILE ON MAIN STREET found the Rolling Stones sounding more like a Southern fried juke-joint band than ever before. That EXILE was recorded in a basement is no surprise, either--much of it sounds as if it was recorded live at a gospel revival, with a final mix that gives no hierarchy to specific instruments. The result is a swampy, most exhilarating chunk of rock & roll euphoria.

EXILE sharpens the country, blues, and gospel tendencies the Stones began exploring in the late '60s on albums like BEGGAR'S BANQUET. Here, armed with an assortment of backing musicians and vocalists, the band virtually inhabits the spirit of each style, distilling the whole to a ragged, soulful perfection. From the escalating, horn-driven vamps of "Rocks Off" through the back porch singalong "Sweet Virginia" to the mean blues stomp of "Ventilator Blues" and the church-like strains of "Shine a Light," EXILE's double-album length plays like a weary, boozed-up sermon on the very meaning of rock music. This is the closest the band ever came to religion, and it still has the power to convert.

Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.90) - Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...EXILE ON MAIN STREET is the Stones at their fighting best, armed with blues, playing to win..."
Rolling Stone (7/6/72, p.54) - "...continual topping of one's self can only go on for so long, after which one must sit back and sustain what has already been built. And with EXILE the Stones have chosen to sustain for the moment..." -Lenny Kaye
Q (6/00, p.91) - Ranked #3 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...The Stones were at their most creative. The music simply flowed. The sound that emerged was dirty, sexy, soulful, f&#!ed-up and funky....a dizzy peak which the Stones never scaled again..."

NME (Magazine) (9/11/93, p.18) - Ranked #5 among The Greatest Albums Of The '70s - "...Definitive cigarette-in-mouth, fall-about rock 'n' roll..."
NME (Magazine) (7/9/94, p.43) - 10 - Classic - "...stands as perhaps the band's finest hour. A sprawling, dense yet compelling concoction of their romance with America's black musics..."

5 stars Pure Brilliance....
Stones in Exile...best thing that could have ever happened to us...spectators. And we did not even have to forfeit our souls.

5 stars One of the best albums ever
This album represents the Stones at their full potential. To quote another review on this album and I think it's accurate-this is an album that can be played late on a Saturday night and on an early Sunday morning. You will find ballads, blues, and rock on this masterpiece with each listen revealing more.

5 stars 5 stars... not 3 not 4... 5 stars
For those poor souls who can't seem to comprehend the greatness of this album, it is because they don't understand that every song on an album doesn't have to be a bestseller to be great. Exile is the devil's cojones of early 70's rock. The Stones albums thereafter declined in quality, and they have never created such art since. They have had some other great moments, however. This is likely the closest to the pure essence of blues and rock that white boys from London will ever achieve.

5 stars 50's Rock/Blues/Western/Soul, What MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
Rumours are that "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street" are the two greatest Stones albums ever. So sure, enough, I'd do what any fan would do, and buy the albums: Let me tell you, This album is incredible. I'll admit, like some of the other reviews, that yes, there are some tracks that are slightly bland, but the majority of the album is intense.The standout tracks are: "All Down The Line" "Tumbling Dice" "Rocks Off" Do yourself a favour and pick this up today!!! (P.S.- far better than Sticky Fingers)
