Maybe it's me and those "Troubled Albums" that actually have some unique moments > just solid kicking out the jams, but ITTOD is not all that much of a mess to me, although "All My Love" is clearly a skip track and a half and "Hot Dog" is filler that's not even as amusing as "Boogie With Stu." Still, I may change my opinion as the Last-Year Yardbirds happenings used on the first album were the best ones and they sounded strong along with the solid jamming beyond those.

EDIT: There was a change in opinion...after some thinking. It makes my observation stronger.
