It's a solid album front to back. I would say it's one of the better Rolling Stones albums

If you like the vibe of Exile and Sticky Fingers, then yes, this is for you. It is part of that blues quatro...beggars...bleed...sticky...exile. It was the last of those that I got into, but a stand out for me...YMMV. As I said in the pre order thread...when the song Let It Bleed comes on the radio...I crank it. When certain people talk down about the Stones, I assume they clearly have not heard, in entirety, those 4 albums.

Interestingly, those are the four Stones albums I know the best. I had no idea they were grouped, they just happened to be the four I listen to the most.
Thanks for the info!

Wait there's gonna be a Let It Bleed exclusive? Oh. Not gonna lie, I haven't heard a lot of the Stones. Should I jump in on it?

Best album hands down "Exile On Main St.". That being said you would be hard pressed not to check out one of their greatest hits collections ("Forty Licks" is a really good one), Their run of albums from "Beggar Banquet" to "Exile" is their High point (IMO). Other great albums that were markedly different due to the era they were created and worth checking out: "Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons" were great earlier albums then "Some Girls" and "Tattoo You" are pretty good "Late Period" releases (I put late period in quotes because obviously they are still putting out new albums all these years later) Almost all their records have at least a few gems on em though. It's just their career is so lengthy that a Greatest Hits would let you take a lot of their best stuff in a more easily digestible package.

I love Exile, but there's some filler on it Let It Bleed is all killer. It's my favorite Stones album. And I'm a Stones guys. Which is why, pound for pound, Let It Bleed is one of my favorite albums of all time, period.

yeah, I've heard lots of high praise for Exile.

I just got through my first full listen of Let It Bleed, and god there are some great songs here, but there's a few stinkers here. Country Honk felt weird and out of place, and I'm not 100% on board with Monkey Man, but I do still like it. I don't even care though cause the rest of the album slaps pretty hard, especially You Can't Always Get What You Want. I felt the groove in my body when the chorus for that song came on!

You picked out the trouble spots. If only they had replaced Country Honk w/ Honky Tonk Woman it woulda been a substantial upgrade.

I'm with you there. For me its...

1. Let it Bleed
2. Sticky Fingers
3. Exile

Although relooking at the track list for Exile, I think I need to listen to that again...

Fixed it for you ;)

I like Exile, but I think it could have been a single album. Too many songs I have to wade through to get to the ones I want to hear. Example: it starts of promising enough with "Rocks Off," but then I have to wait 'til the end of the side for "Tumbling Dice."

Hey I get it, Exile doesn't have the Singles as some of their other releases but as an album it has a dank dirty rowdy raw energy from "Rocks Off" thru "Soul Survivor". I personally couldn't imagine cutting loose anything on that album.

Loving Cup is in my top 3 Stones' songs. So I will always give the nod to Exile. And if you don't like the song Sweet Virginia, then go f' yourself (j/k). Also. lest we forget that they had that little recording session down at the 'Shoals. MMMM...that is some good stuff!
 
My own hot take would be Hot Rocks and Exile should do it for anyone but the hardcore rock fans. Of course I like a lot of other ones, but those two are my desert island picks for them.
