"Biggest Mistake"

What's the deal? Can't make up my mind. This is another one of those songs that I feel just wasn't explored enough. It could have been so much stronger. If Keith had really sunk his teeth into that one I coild see a Exile-Side 2 kind of deal there.
Again I blame Pro Tools for much of the album's weaknesses. They were just never all in the room with tpaes runnign; jamming, creating a rave-up/fade-out as a band. Even chnats like "She saw me Coming" don't give me that Jagger/Keith/Ronnie -around- the- mike- whiskey- bottle- baby kinda feel.
On soem tunes it doesn't matter that much, the ballads are allright, RJ is so short and such a blast, it works the way "She Said Yeah" works. "Let me down slow" also is fine; for soem reason that song reminds me so much of "Take me with U" from Prince's Purple Rain album.

I actually like this song quite a bit; though it would be a lot more effective if Mick could still write a decent lyric. That said, I like the mid-70s, mid-tempo flavour.

It has a nice touch, but they certainly didn't waste a minute on it. Lyrics, I like the one about sitting on the couch, but there's an overall "bad/sad/mad" quality to them, as with most of the album.

Great song. One of the gems on ABB. Great guitarwork (typical Keith), really great melodies (Mick at his best)... It's my personal favorite.

I like this song too... along with It Won't Take Long, one of my faves on ABB.

I really like this one although it gets slagged quite a bit on here.
