The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. (Top 500 Countdown Update)

What a different sound. I would say this is The Rolling Stones reinventing themselves. Opening up their sound a bit more and moving away from the heavy grungy rock of their past. Problem is I like their heavy grungy rock sound and am not as crazy about what they are doing on this album. For an experimental/transitional album the sound is already very consistent and the album is fairly tight. It's the emotion that is missing as their seems to be a lot of weight put into the production, but not as much into the guts of the album. This is the fall of most transitional albums. In the end it's an OK album, but certainly not their best.
