While I always look at these stupid things -- effective clickbait -- I don't put any stock in them. They're designed to provoke an emotional response -- usually a disagreement -- and get you to keep clicking.
This is the website that apparently has no idea that two of the tracks on "Got Live If You Want It" were studio recordings mixed with audience noise, at least they make no mention of it. If you're going to review a live album, even a brief review, you'd think that would be fairly notable to mention.

The review also makes a point of how intense the audience screams are. Ridiculous. They may well have been, but you have no idea how intense they actually were given the fact that Andrew Oldham dubbed in audience noise on all the tracks, including the studio recordings.
So, in their opinion, "Got It Live..." is second only to "Ya-Yas" of all the Stones live albums, and "Brussels Affair" doesn't even make the Top 10? Even more ridiculous.

Dude probably doesnt even know about Brussels, it isn't really in common circulation being as one had to buy unrelated expensive releases to get it as a "bonus". Other than that, yeah, to mention screams in Got Live If You Want It as any indication of how excited the audience was is kind of lame. You gotta know it was an audience track superimposed over the recordings, some studio as you mention.
Another lame effort on the part of a writer to get some column inches in print, or at least virtual print.
