I've actually found that many people have a divided opinion on The White Album alone. While some claim that it is a creative masterpiece, others have said that it feels like an album that was thrown together, that it was incohesive and that it captures the sound of the band coming apart.
Personnaly, I think that both albums certainly showcase the creativity of each band at the time but I'd have to say I much prefer the White Album. That said, there are quite a few songs on that album that I would usually skip (e.g. Revolution #9) when listening to it all the way through. Exile was certainly a great accomplishment for the Stones but there's just something about the White Album..
It all comes down to preferance though doesn't it?
