Is Wake of the Flood considered a disappointment?
The release fared better on the pop charts than their previous studio album (1970's American Beauty), reaching No. 18.[7]

it's worth it for "winter" & "coming down again" & most of the rest is ok.lots of people (critics, anyway) say "listen to the music" & "dancing with mr d" are rotten, right? i like both those. "angie" is very bad tho, turn off the radio time.

When the guitar riff first appears by itself in the opening of "Dancing with Mr. D," it's pretty awesome. The lyrics get a lot flak, but they were kind of hard to make out - I didn't even know what Jagger was singing until I read a lyric sheet.
"Winter" is pretty nice - I think Glyn Johns loves that track more than anything else on the album - and Billy Preston is especially good on "Coming Down Again."

Been digging on this cover. It's such a stomper. Sorry back to the soup...

Heartbreaker is some legit 70s funk. Maybe it's the lyrics but you know that Jagger was trying to get Superfly as f on that tune. It sounds like it should be in some lost NY exploitation crime movie with Robert Blake and Roy Schieder. It would be the theme to the 70s @ Satriale's

Roy Schieder as a young uncle Junior. That would kick ass.
Billy Preston is especially good on "Coming Down Again."
...so good he steals the credit from Nicky Hopkins!

Jesus, I mixed it up with "100 Years Ago" (which ALSO has Hopkins, but I'm thinking specifically of Preston on the clavinet).
