Rolling Stones Exile

Rolling Stones fans: your thoughts on this Mick Jagger quote regarding Exile on Main St.?
In 2003:
"Exile... is not one of my favourite albums, although I think the record does have a particular feeling. I'm not too sure how great the songs are, but put together it's a nice piece. However, when I listen to Exile it has some of the worst mixes I've ever heard. I'd love to remix the record, not just because of the vocals, but because generally I think it sounds lousy. At the time Jimmy Miller was not functioning properly. I had to finish the whole record myself, because otherwise there were just these drunks and junkies... Of course I'm ultimately responsible for it, but it's really not good and there's no concerted effort or intention."
-- Mick Jagger
If he did release a remixed version of the album, would you listen to it? Do you agree Exile... shines more as an overall experience than as a collection of singular great songs?
i would definitely listen to a remix of exile, and maybe i can read mick's mind because very few stones fans, other than me, don't have exile high on their list of their greatest albums
and i definitely agree that exile is more of an experience...when you think about it, what major hits were spawned from that album? there are none really, not to say that there aren't any good songs, but none of the singles were major successes of their own right...also, i think the content and style of the songs contributes to this as well, a song like let it loose, which is imo the best song on the album, does not play too well as a radio hit
