So easy being critical.
The handful of songs that you may consider duds from an otherwise accomplished artist/bands catalog only serve to make the majority of the catalog that much more enjoyable.
No one has managed to fill a catalog with only polished gems. That includes the Dead, which I'll add had a few other odd creations in addition to Blues for Allah.
Albums are not always cohesive stories or epic narratives.
