An uninspired album without a keeper on it. The title track sounds like crap in E. It only came to life when played it live in B.

Jimmy Miller is not the drummer on the song IORR. It is Kenny Jones from The Faces.

Yeah, IORR is probably the most disappointing song for me live vs studio. The live version just miss the little extra from the original.

I'm sure IORR (the album) prompted MT to leave.
He probaly thought "hey the Stones are creatively dry, they're rotten from the inside with drug abuse, Keith will be dead within 18 months, the best track on the lp is mine (TWFNO) I'd better leave the ship before it sinks".

Right you are. I forgot. *bows way too low in order to compensate* I still say that the drumming is wrong for the track.
Oh, and Kenny Jones' best work is on The Who - It's Hard.

The best album between GHS and Black and Blue...and the worst.

The album certainly has a charm to it. I just wish the drum sound was a bit more careful. I remember reading a review where Andy Johns said that the album was very 'mid-heavy'. I agree. Andy, it is too dang mid-heavy! If You Can't Rock Me, for example, has a loud mid-heavy snare sound, but the kick drum is weak! Snare should not be twice as loud as the kick. Just not very balanced and very 'muddy' mix which some find charming.
IORR as a track suffers from the drumming!!! Jimmy Miller is decent, but he doesn't have the feel of Charlie. As a kid I remember thinking that it sounded like someone else, but my copy did not have the credits so I assumed it was Charlie playing with a different style. I wish they had brought Charlie in and done it right!
