I agree.
Didn't take to Plundered right away.
Someone said the vocals sounded like Alfie!
Maybe not that bad, but there was a disconnect -- hearing Mick's late era sound with the ghost of Mick Taylor's slide wailing in the background.  The left side and the right side of the brain were confused.

So I took some medicine that helps me tune the right and left lobes nicely, and perhaps not surprisingly, it sounded better each listen.

Then...whoever posted that Dancing With the Stones thingy...may the Stonesian gods bless you!
I went into a full blown 1972 Exile fest.

Recognizing many of the tunes from Hillside Blues (thank your Rick wherever you are) I abandoned my Saturday household chores for beers and Stones all day.  I put on my balls in mouth Exile shirt, my Stones hat, and explained to anyone and everyone who would listen to me about the new release, the greatness of the original, the bonus tracks, the making of Exile, the unreleased videos that are coming out, the track order on vinyl, the liner notes, etc.
I woke up in the garage at 4am.
Staggered into the house and made coffee and slept on the couch.

Sunday, I attempted to recreate Nellcote in my basement.
I went downstairs in the morning with guitars, harmonicas, slides, picks, amps, hootch, cigarettes and Cheetos, unscrewed half the light bulbs, took my shirt off, got hammered, checked out the sounds and echos of the various rooms, and had little creative fights with myself all day about the particulars of the tracks I laid down.  Since I don't have a studio, everything had to be run upstairs thru the nanky mobile unit - a 2-track 1979 Panasonic tape deck on a lazy susan.  It was way cool.  Got some good material down, that I plan on mastering in LA soon.

This morning my head hurt....  

Good Lord I just watched the video - that could take weeks to sift through all of the footage in there.  What is Charlie doing with the freakin' coat hangers???  

...and then there was a shot of Mick adjusting his business

I may have to bug from work.

How can I be expected to contribute today after all of this?

I need to go make a sequined jump suit.....

Thanks Joey.

I see it that way too...
this is an album, for some reason, that Jagger seemed to be unwilling to acknowledge or revisit....but I guess we all get to a point where we have to look back....the man is almost 70 years old.

i think, at least it seems from what i read, that they are both starting to realize just how amazing this record is... and how important is has become. with everything great they've done, it loks like they realized, no matter how high the mountain is, this is the top, and it is way bigger than them... it really is great they have decide to see legacy for what it is, not what you think it is....

Yep, although I think Jagger likes to play the devil's advocate, saying the opposite of the general consesus because that's what he does to keep us guessing about what he really thinks.....
Exile is epic and Jagger seems to finally be admitting it.
I honestly never thought I would see that happen.
But again, the man is almost 70 years old and a time does come when we take stock and look back objectively. In the interview posted, Jagger was almost suggesting that making Exile was a good experience... [/quote]

time and perspective can make events seem different... I know this cuts all ways too... but some of my best memeories, weren't events at the time i knew were going to be great memories. and some bad ones have in their own ways become good...
