This tune I don't get it. Nobody seems to dislike or "bash". Not sure if people love it or where it stands in their great catalogue. Is it ok cause its on Exile?

To me 2/10 or D-. Thats ok I guess as I love above 90% of their stuff. Is it a well structured song? unique? What is the appeal? Please enlighten me o diehards!!

I think it should be the intro music on the next tour,if there is a next tour.

This one had to grow on me (like a fungus). It's not something I would necessarily play on it's own, but it's part of the total Exile experience.

That album to me is not to be judged song by song, but as one entity.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

it is a nice segway to Let it loose, I never really thought of it as a whole song.

I can't listen to it all the way through. 1/10. Stones or not I dislike the style and the gospel singing.

7.5/10

Love it...shows how organic they can be...

10,,,,incredible music ,,, pure genius

Maybe one should not approach this tune the way you do a 3 minute rocksong with intro-verse-chorus etc. It's a sketch; a vignette. Sums up a mood of a room on a night. I think it is @#$%& incredible. It was part of a long jam that supposedly Keith directed from behind the electric piano. Love the vibe of the swampy gloom. The ooh oohs sound like flutes while the two basses rumble down under. Love the way the percussion is recorded. Then when Jagger comes in just clapping and chanting. This is music at it's finest.

10 - arguably THE BEST song on the album, IMO

worst song on the album....3/10

Its great because its part of the album. And its good. Good production too.

As a song it is a 2 out of 10 but it's ok on the album. Also I like the religious statement (don't wanna talk about Jesus, just wanna see his face - the ultimate argument against these @#$%& Christians). At last it is Tom Waits' favourite Stones song.

10/10 Essential stones. Unfortunately the "pop song format" is so radicated (both in the musicians and the public) that most of these great grooves remain "in the can" or are edited out (butchered) from the final product.

Do you want to know why Face is great?

Relax, have a few beers, play it LOUD on the repeat mode, and DANCE!!!

Then you will get it!

Sounds like the guy who can't hear a difference. There so many of them out there. They are calling themselves Stonesfans going "Rating a Stones song wot? Give it a 10!"

It's like the soccer fans boasting out "WE won the game! WE won the game!"

They're all out of their heads

its a throwaway

no leonard throwaway is mick solo.


i give it a 5/10. worst song on exile. almost skippable.

this song sounds like a strung-out junkie whos locked in the bathroom

Oh, you are totally wrong. E.g. "Miss You": I would give 4/10 only, ok?

10+++ It has an interesting gospell and caribbean feeling.One of the most interesting effort in EOMS.

That's right!‼!‼!

hello mr Lynn here we go again I give it a 7.5 nice experimental song if you listen carfully to it you hear so many things I like that experimental side of the stones

Agree with L. Keringer. Granted a song doesn't need to be polished, or have an ABA structure, etc. But this one sounds like a work track.

Great song. 8/10. It may not be a "proper" song (verse/chorus/verse) but it has great atmospherics. I like the funky gospel feel and the (anti) religious message "I don't want to talk about Jesus, I just want to see his face." Definitely a nice mood piece that fits in well with the whole tapestry of Exile.

It hasn"t got anti religious message at all!

Every time I hear it, I have to think WTF is this noise?

It's not anti-religious or anti-Jesus, it's just anti-Christian
