I think the 2 records are as different as night & day.

The White album is The Beatles trying to be everything they're not and as a result it just sounds like 4 guys in a studio with no direction other than making some awful art school hipster turd of a record for the sake of making it.

On the other hand Exile is the Stones going back to their roots and making an album that is 100% them and and all their various influences and as a result I think the songs are better, the album is much more cohesive and it's a much tighter record because of it.

It's kind of like one band goofing around in a studio and one band playing something that they've lived with their whole lives and I think it shows.

I've only ever met 2 types of people who don't rate Exile, and that's Beatles fanboys and people who don't really have much interest in blues & early rock n roll anyway.
