There's a ton of anti-Jagger within these 199 pages. And I feel it's unnecessary. I picked Goddess In The Doorway, because it seems to be Jagger's worst rated album here on IORR and my point is even on Jagger's worst album, there are some better songs than the best of Crosseyed Heart.

Come On
I think this album sounds like something to frighten disobedient children with ...
Jagger is Always a excellent singer on all of his songs from solo-albums...Just saying...
The Stones's danger is back!
Not even a new born baby would raise an eyebrow to Let's Work, no matter how the vocal is. Just saying

That's for sure. And the riff is basically the same as the one in the breakdown section of 'If you can't rock me'.
Just sayin'
...which is just another variation of the breakdown section in CYHMK, only faster.
Just sayin'

I'm not anti-Jagger as such; there is only one singer in the world who can convincingly sing Start Me Up, or Jumping Jack Flash or Slave or, hell, even Angie, and loads of other great Stones songs.
But I find it such a pity that somewhere starting from the 80's, Mick Jagger lost some of his sincere, youthful enthusiasm, his fun, his talent for taking a song out of traditional rock/blues/soul and give it an exciting turn, something half tongue-in-cheek, half sexy, half challenging. Instead, he seems to continuously "try something". Trying to be young, trying to be Prince, trying to be cool, trying to be loud, trying to be angry, trying to be political, trying to be ironic, ... Lots of people like Wandering Spirit, and I'm sure the songwriting is fine, but his delivery, the fake accent, the "grawwwwlihng", the selfconscious emotional trembling in the ballads, it all sounds so fake to me, that I cannot listen to it. I like Miracle Worker of SuperHeavy, I like Doom and Gloom, but I find that unfortunately on a lot of Jagger's output, both solo and with the Stones, there is this fakeness, which I find such a pity.
Whereas of Crosseyed Heart, you could say it's not "modern" or that there are "no hits" on it, but to me, it's like "Exile on Main Street", or some of the best albums of Tom Waits: an album of "just good music", someone who has the peace of mind, the self-reliance, the joy of discovering great songs and playing them with as much joy and fun and trueness as possible.
Sorry for all the hyperboles, but that's the closest as I can get to an explanation.
