It's not a bad review (although I do hate RR, that's beside the point I suppose). I would say it comes from a strange point of view though. The "O' Rourke years" were not at all their jammiest. I would say those are the WM and A Thousand Leaves sessions, which are where they reached their peak ability when it comes to jamming (not, as many say, on Murray Street).
Also, "Shoot" isn't from the perspectie of a junkie. It's from the perspective of a woman who shoots her husband/boyfriend because he's an asshole/oppressor.
