Exile on Main St.(Exile on Main Street)专辑介绍
从1968年开始，The Rolling Stones乐队的连续五张专辑将他们的事业逐步推向了顶峰，直到72年的这张"Exile on Main Street"为他们赢得了"世界最佳摇滚乐队"的荣誉。Rolling Stones在这份双张专辑中表现出一种虚荣的、懒散的、保守主义分子的气质。与前两张专辑的凄凉氛围相比，"Exile on Main Street"不注重歌词表现，Jagger的唱音完全被淹没在Keith Richards和Mick Taylor的吉他riff和solo之中。他们随意玩弄着布鲁斯、乡村和五十年代的摇滚，象拼图一样拼出自己的音乐。这张专辑对刚接替死去的Brian Jones的吉他手Mick Taylor来说是一次很好的洗礼。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第7位。
Greeted with decidedly mixed reviews upon its original release, Exile on Main St. has become generally regarded as the Rolling Stones' finest album. Part of the reason why the record was initially greeted with hesitant reviews is that it takes a while to assimilate. A sprawling, weary double album encompassing rock & roll, blues, soul, and country, Exile doesn't try anything new on the surface, but the substance is new. Taking the bleakness that underpinned Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers to an extreme, Exile is a weary record, and not just lyrically. Jagger's vocals are buried in the mix, and the music is a series of dark, dense jams, with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor spinning off incredible riffs and solos. And the songs continue the breakthroughs of their three previous albums. No longer does their country sound forced or kitschy -- it's lived-in and complex, just like the group's forays into soul and gospel. While the songs, including the masterpieces "Rocks Off," "Tumbling Dice," "Torn and Frayed," "Happy," "Let It Loose," and "Shine a Light," are all terrific, they blend together, with only certain lyrics and guitar lines emerging from the murk. It's the kind of record that's gripping on the very first listen, but each subsequent listen reveals something new. Few other albums, let alone double albums, have been so rich and masterful as Exile on Main St., and it stands not only as one of the Stones' best records, but sets a remarkably high standard for all of hard rock.
