Personally it's a great album!!!
If you really wanne be my friend, hmmmmmm GREAT!!
IORR - never been better at that album
Fingerprint file - all secrecy no privacy..
Am I the only one who thinks it's underrated, for me Goad's head Soup and IORR fit together like Exile and SF

Yes, Rik--those two (IORR and GHS) fit together perfectly for me too. I listen to them both almost daily (or at least some of the songs on them). |

Well, I divide IORR in two: great songs and poor songs. Personally I like If You Can't Rock Me, IORR, Luxyry, Short And Curlies and Fingerprint File. I don't like the rest that much.
Like Goat's Head Soup, IORR is underrated. Goat's has good songs in it.
Also Black And Blue is a masterpiece that usually people don't value that much (ahh, Hot Stuff and Hand Of Fate). |

Excellent album.. Time Waits For No One and Ain't Too Proud To Beg also are great tunes... |

Yes, a very good album. Better is Exile On Main Street, obviously  |

Most underrated Stones album, in my opinion. One of my favorites.
I love "Fingerprint File" and "Short and Curlies"... hell, I love every song on the album except "If You Want To Be My Friend", which sucks, and "Time Waits For No One", which meanders in mediocrity.

I think every single one of you fine individuals should come to Denver and see the Rolling Stones in Concert with your Uncle Joey .

"and "Time Waits For No One", which meanders in mediocrity"
Obviously your opinion which I beg to differ. This track is the high point of the album for me. It's Taylor and Hopkin's finest moment IMO. Absolute splendor and beauty that should never be dismissed so easily. |

IORR definitely has it's moments but it's my least favorite of the three mid-70s albums. Keith seems more involved than on GHS, there are some great riffs on here. I've always loved the opening four (even the much maligned Till Next Goodbye) are great, but after that I've always thought it was inconsistent song-wise. I don't think the album sounds remotely like GHS though. GHS had this mellow beauty to many of the tracks. IORR is much tougher, funkier sounding. IMHO, IORR is good album, but a weaker effort Stones-wise |

If You Can´t Rock Me sounds like the Spiders From Mars with Mick on vocals playing a lost Lou Reed song; the title track appears to have Marc Bolan replacing Keith and Mick T. Both are very enjoyable, although I object to the Stones, of all groups, telling me there's anything 'only' about rock'n'roll.
The rest of the album is variable in quality. 'Time...' and 'Till...' are attractive but could do with a bit of tightening up.

i have always loved IORR as well as Goats Head Soup. i would agree BOTH are underrated often overlooked works by the boyz. this is one reason i absolutely ADORE and have recently traded both in for the boot ACETATES. having listened to IORR and GHS so many times over the last couple of decades, i thoroughly enjoy the subtle changes found in the outtakes from BOTH albums on Acetates. then there's Criss Cross Man and a wonderful cover of dobie gray's Drift Away where the guitars are painfully sweet.

I agree with your prodigious analysis Jaxx . Whenever I hear IORR I am transmogrified to the exalted flow of another space/time continuum , save it is spaceless and timeless and of such pure loveliness , I become imbued with insensate .................................

I agree, Jaxx. "Goats Head Soup" is one of the first Stones-records I bought, and I think it was the perfect illustration of the Stones-attitude during the 70's. Even the cover is one of the best symbols of Jagger's personality... |

The quality of the cover's portraits is as variable as the music inside. Those of Keith and the Micks look great but Charlie's is awkward and Bill's just bad. |

I think IORR is typical of the Stones efforts post Exile. A few great tunes and a whole lotta filler. The exception to that would be Some Girls. No filler on that one.
GHS and IORR are two reasons why I was glad Taylor left. Some great highlights mired in mediocrity. I think if Taylor had stayed on, The Stones would have just turned into just another "jam" band....and probably not survived the 70's. |

I would put it on par with Some Girls. Everything after Exile has filler(Far Away Eyes doesn't do much for me) - just some albums have better filler than others. I could do without the softer IORR tracks for the most part. IORR & If You Can't Rock Me are cool. For a while I wasn't that fond of this album until recently - I like Luxery & Fingerprint File a lot more. Ain't Too Proud To Beg is excellent. Short & Curlies would be cooler if it didn't keep repeating after the first 30 seconds. Dance Little Sister could be more creative too. That about makes the album give or take. I think both this & Some Girls contain filler - but its a rare occasion I listen to this album beginning to end - Some Girls I do all the time |

I wish the Stones would play Short and Curlies at one of the concerts; it would do really well on the b-stage. |

I mostly agree with the consensus, IORR great album, an amazing kick ass 3 song start, then the it fluctuates between good and bad - TWFN0, luxury and Short and Curlies being the good - then finishes on the magnificent Fingerprint File, I love that song and so true as well.
