Note: The above listings for CD2 shows the order of the songs as they appear in the box set. The extended version of Exile has these songs in a different order. My review for these songs can be found here. OLD MINI REVIEW This is the album that many, if not most Stones fans consider the band's best or at least in their top three. For me it doesn't even make my top ten. Why? Well, all I can tell you is I never was crazy about this double album even when it first came out. I hoped that in time I would grow to love it like most of the other Stones classic albums. But although I agree that there are some of their best cuts ever on this album, like "Sweet Virginia"," Tumbling Dice", "Happy" and "Rip This Joint", which I do love, I can say that I only like this album because of songs like "Ventilator Blues" and "Just Want To See His Face" and a few others which I don't care for. So those of you who do love this album, make sure you vote in our Stones Favorite Album Poll for it, and let me know how wrong I am, again. - Keno 1998 NEW REVIEW! Use this link to read my new 2005 review for Exile On Mainstreet, which is located at the Gasx3 board. *Old Ratings vs. New Ratings The oldest ratings that you see here are from back in 1998 when I first rated the album for this site. Since time does change one's point of view, I decided to listen to and rate the album again, doing so in late 2005. In November, 2018, 20 years after the first ratings were made, I rated all of the songs for a third time. Also note that I did not look at the old ratings from 1998 until after I placed my new ratings here in both 2005 and 2018. Plus, the ratings noted are for the original album only, the bonus songs released in 2010 do not count in the album's overall ratings and were rated only once, back when they were released.
