Oh? Most of the reviews I've read have said it was a "solid, if somewhat
disjointed" effort; that the high points were good, and the low points
weren't all _that_ low.  I recall that both Mojo and Stereo Review both

another "Exile on Main St.", but what is?

Ummm...this also runs contrary to just about all of the show reviews
(personal and professional) I've heard.  Mick's apparently doing pretty
well for a 50+ year-old guy, and Keef just ain't a-dyin'.
