ThomasWMay 29, 2010A great album, but I've always been partial to Let it Bleed, a truly revolutionary album and I think the Stone's best.

TtableWMay 30, 2010Oh God! More idiots giving an album a PERFECT rating just because it was released 38 years ago. I never liked the Rolling Stones, so I can't really give a rating. But for the love of Jebuz, even my favourite album of all time is not perfect.

MaderaPMay 31, 2010How many records do I still love after more than 30 years ? This is one of the very few.

FraserHJun 2, 2010I was not alive when this album was released so can never understand what an impact it made on the music world at the time, but I would say that this album is one of my favourite albums of all time and I never tire of listening to it.

LucaFMay 31, 2010It's the best rock record of all time. Even if the Stones have cut so many immortal hits i think that Exile captures the feeling of rock music. I've read somewhere that the 00's have been the best decade in music. I wonder if those who believe that have ever heard, in this decade, such a great bunch of songs on the very same LP. I'm afraid they don't. Don't they?

RogerSMay 31, 2010This is the best there ever was, Sgt Peppers and the Beatles were over and London Calling and the Clash were yet to arrive. It is one of the most important parts of music and anyone needing an education will find this CD as his guide. Keith and Mick were never to reach this level again but like a rolling stone they kept going and gather no moss. You have to own this one.

RLJun 15, 2010Critics feel like they have to say 100, so they won't succumb to the peer pressure. I've always thought this album to be mediocre, hence the 5. Give me the hits from this one and I'm outta here !

Aug 12, 2010Gotta give it up for the stones. They are one of the most influential artists of our time. Exile on Main Street is probably to go down as one of the best albums of all time.

Nov 12, 2010Not a particularly good album, certainly not the Rolling Stones' best album (perhaps Let It Bleed wins that prize) and definitely overrated by the critics this time around. It wasn't particularly well received when it first came out, for reasons which are obvious on relistening to it. Not bad, but not that good.

Mar 13, 2011Entered the music store and found the reissue of a classic. Exile On Main Street. As a long time Stones fan, I grew up listening to Brown Sugar or Satisfaction, those classic hits. But found in Exile On Main Street the true roots of the Stones sound. Just few seconds into Rock Off opened my mind. An album to love, listen, love, and listen a bit more.

May 12, 2011once again a great album. a classic album is getting negative reviews. if you don't like the album then don't review it. you bastards are getting annoying with your hateful reviews. i love this album. yes im a black person.

Jan 26, 2012This is my favorite Rolling Stones album. You hear so many of their hits on the radio that you tend to forget how great their individual albums are. Exile On Main Street reigns supreme.

Jul 9, 2013This album represents more than the music itself, it's a provocation to the state, in this case to the U.K. They also are under the influence of drugs That´s always a nice combination.

Jul 23, 2013good album,it has some songs that are the best(tumbling dice,all down the line,shine a light,happy,rocks off)but it has some songs that are really bad(casino boogie,ijust want to see his face)or boring songs like (sweet virginia,sweet black angel).Good album but there are better albums and exile is too overrated
-
Jun 4, 2017I believe the Stones are hugely overrated. Although they are very iconic and very influential, when ANALYZED, their music is extremely repetitive, and musically boring. Take "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (I know it's not on this album)--it's literally the same chords and melody repeated for SEVEN MINUTES. And it's considered one of the greatest songs of all time.
-
We keep hearing that rock and roll is a feeling, right? The Stones inhabited that feeling seamlessly here, mainly because the murk fizzed and fused those seams together.
-
If allowing Jagger to touch up those vocals was the price to pay to allow Exile receive the tribute it deserves, it's still a bargain.

Never bettered, this is the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band’s crowning triumph. Own this!
