Why would you want to make it a single album? Put differently, I think you'll have as many disagreements as to what stays and what goes as you would when you're packing up the car if the house were on fire:
"We're taking Casino Boogie with us"
"Not if that means leaving Sweet Virginia we're not."
"Torn and Frayed comes, too."
"And don't even think about touching Shine a Light!"
Are you kidding? Not gonna have that argument.

The album works perfect, you can't take one off it.

I know this can be a divisive topic, but as much as I love ALL of EXILE, I always thought critics might have treated it kinder as a single disc.

Don't ever see a reason to cut an album of 18 good songs down to 10 good songs.

This is just for fun. I love the whole thing but it got bad reviews when it came out as being a sprawling mess with too much filler. I disagree but I just wonder how it would've been reviewed if it came out in a shorter version. Just makin' chit-chit, not trying to trash the bible or anything...

These are good picks and a nice running order. But I would make Side B side A. I can't imagine "I Just Want To See His Face" leading off an album.

Well I did like Exile very much. It was like four single-sided albums - hopefully something for everyone. It wasn't really meant to be played all at once.
