Oh yeah. Good jam time record you know. To quote from the apple music editorial description - "More than songs or performances, 1972’s Exile on Main St. was about mood."
I could imagine myself putting this album on again in the background but not a big intentional listen for me and no real standout tracks for a playlist.
Notably Tumbling Dice is one of the only songs on the apple music version of the "This Is Rolling Stones" playlist. Just not a lot of standout songs on here imo but a pleasant listen.
6.5? 7? 6? Who cares.
I wonder if there is some diverging timeline in which Bob Dylan "didn't go electric". The double side business is interesting. I've always like rock and roll bob dylan but don't have a lot to say about any of the non Subterranean or Maggie's Farm songs.
I wonder if it's _cool_ to really love gates of eden. It's Alright, Ma is a good one though.
I wonder if the studio chatter at the beginning of bob dylan's 115th dream was one of the first apperances of this trick that i feel like every artist loves doing and everyone else tolerates.
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is as always a 10/10 and is such an enthralling vocal performance as well.
And of course mr. tambourine man.
I don't know. ALBUM SCORE?
higher than exile.
7, 7.5, it's all over now baby blue is as good of a song as anyone made in the 60's.
Won't listen again unless i do a full bob dylan listen.
Which i might.

*Wrathchild
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock:
The Number of the Beast
Rock Band:
*Run to the Hills
Guitar Hero 5:
2 Minutes to Midnight
(Phantom was available as dlc for one of the games but i never bought it)
With the songs I knew above being my only real iron maiden exposure this album was surprising to me in honestly a positive sense.

"KEPT his dick wet" stuck out as a line. KEPT. NEVER DRY. MAINTAINED A LEVEL OF MOISTURE.
This is also one that feel like it inspired quite a lot of our post 2006 singer/songwriter type music for a while so hard to judge as a sole album without thinking about how Adele and others came along and tried similar throwback/jazzy vocal styles and instrumentation (to a less degree).

Love is a Losing Game
Tears Dry On Their Own is a fun take on ain't no mountain

As garfield the cat, in one sentence or two, explain why Meat Loaf called himself meat loaf:
> Oh, he probably got that nickname from his family because he was as big and beefy as an actual meat loaf—makes my stomach rumble just thinking about it. But if you ask me, he should have called himself “Lasagna” instead.

I love a musical soundtrack by people who want to write pop/rock songs and then try to stuff them into a musical. With this album I see that the opposite is also true.
Listening to the 2015 remaster if that matters.
The solo in computer blue mixed with the keyboard matching the same line in the background ALMOST makes it sound like it's being vocoded/talkboxed. Fun effect.
Just loved this album. Not much else to say. Not sure why it didn't hit as hard when i listened in the day
gotta f***** find this album on youtube to listen to it.
actually listening to some japanese ripped FLAC files
Lovin these basslines

Fun to have an opening song that you can close the show with by changing the lyrics.
Always a nice listen.

The fact that it made listening to hotel California incredibly palatable
If my car had a cassette deck this would be in it.
These are also the truck nuts i'd get for my car.
A good counterpoint for the argument against dating coworkers.

You think there was ever a discussion about calling this Rumors instead?

First thought - feels like bob dylan more than I thought. I have very little doors exposure.
YIKES
Forgive me for speaking in the wrong order here but also hearing some franz Ferdinand here. Never realized where that influence came from.
I’m a spy in the house of love

What decade are we in again, didn’t catch you the first time you told me it was the 90s.
