Free Music Notes for Exile on Main St.
Free Music Review: Just shake your hips
Hit: 5 Stars
Rock `n' roll as it was meant to be played: Loose, ragged, raw, and emotive. Exile On Main Street is fun. It's sexy. It's rough and chaotic. It's depressed and jubilant, nervous and uninhibited, tense and cathartic all at once. Blood and sweat and booze drip from its walls. It boogies and hops and screams. It's the sound of a great band going for broke, throwing themselves into every song, into every lick, into every note, every moment of music. It speaks to every aspect of this whole "human experience" thing we've got going. It communicates joy and misery. It's here to help us celebrate the good times and dance the bad times into bloody submission. It's here to help turn our boring days into raucous nights. The Rolling Stones are here to save the world with rock `n' roll. Play it loud.Free Music Review: Simply Marvelous
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is so good that not even Mick Jagger was happy with it. That's good enough for me, as I have come to the conclusion that Mick has poor taste in music. I've heard his solo albums, and they suck. This, however, is a masterpiece of eclectic blues boogie, and it sure as hell rocks. Pay no attention to the negative reviews you may have read about Exile, just buy the cd and get on with your life. Such creativity, such awesome power, such a display of guitar tectronics that you'll be bowled over before you can finish listening to it. It is, however, an album that takes time to get used to. While that may sound confusing, it just is what it is. Exile On Main Street is the definitive Rolling Stones album. It has it all. Free Music Review: Most Overrated Stones Album
Hit: 3 Stars
I'll probably be killed for writing this, but honestly, this is the most overrated Stones Album. I'm amiss as to where people got the idea that this album is the best album, or at least one of the best albums, the Stone ever put out. Really, it's just okay, nothing more. Listen to Exile again, then listen to the two best albums the Stones put out. #1) Let It Bleed; #2) Beggars Banquet. Everything else seems kind of sad after those two, especially Exile. So, skip Exile and go straight to Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquent--not only the two best Stones albums, but also two of the best rock albums ever put out.Free Music Review: Life's too short...
Hit: 3 Stars
I like the Stones and I love raw blues and R&B but I somehow missed out on "Exile on Main Street". So, enthused by such great reviews, I was expecting something special... an earthy, pseudo-live album that, despite its origins in drug addled chaos, would grab my attention and be worth the effort of repeat listening while, on the way, delivering up some classic gems. Well I tried, but what I kept getting was a voice saying "look, matey, you could spend hours trying to get into this but the truth is it ain't that good".
Maybe, like Neil Young's "Tonight's the Night" - whose origins and chaotic structure are similar but which still grabs valued space in my music collection - you had to buy it at the time and then listen to it for many years for it to fully register or, is it in reality one of rock's greatest "king with no clothes" outings? Either way, life's too short and there's too much other genuinely brilliant music out there to waste huge amounts of time trying to work out which it is. Then again, maybe I'm simply not capable of appreciating such a complex and odd record.

Exile is a masterpiece. If you don't have this, you don't know rock and roll. All roads lead to and from Keef.
