I wanted to write a know-it-all and smug comment, but I'll hold back and just give you a 5.

truly an interesting album (and played really well too). A unique voice, but one that can definitely sing, and lyrics that at first glance seem funny, but then, no, there's not a damn thing to laugh about.

I haven't listened to them in ages... for years I thought that In Ancient Days and Come to the Sabbath were theirs. Anyway, who cares, Heavy Demons is even more trashy and, if you want to be entertained, after that I just couldn't keep up with them anymore.

never listened to again after The Mysteries of Satan....where Attila sang (this isn't certainly the first)
But Csiar with SunnO))) gets me hyped and I don't know if the Mayhem of these years could somehow remind me of them

Beautiful memories, and it brings a bit of a lump to my throat realizing that the era of big rock concerts and major rock bands seems to be over, or at least not doing too well in this decade...

The news of Cornell's death truly surprised me... his generation was unfortunate.

well... I expected better from Guy Ritchie’s rereading (in the wake of Sherlock). Unfortunately, it bored me quite a bit, and more or less all the characters in the film made me yawn from start to finish. I didn't find that spark or those creative touches (even just visual or photographic) that captivated me...

In my opinion, it doesn't suck at all. How can an album that starts with "All the Tired Horses" be bad? There are many covers, it's true, but traditional songs have always been part of his repertoire (even when he changed the title and lyrics and passed them off as his own :) )

The album has a nice sound; it's always been well-played and generally sung quite well. I don't agree with the claim that "In Search of Little Sadie" is rubbish... in fact, this morning as I was listening to it again in the car, I thought it was Dylan's best interpretation on that album (and I like it more than the other version also on Self Portrait), and it's one of the songs I enjoy listening to the most when I revisit Self Portrait. Also, Alberta, especially the first version, Copper Kettle, and many other light songs on this album are really well done in my opinion. And with "well done," when talking about Dylan, it’s always understood that they’re not perfect, that you can maybe tell they were recorded in one take... that’s part of Dylan's charm. His sincerity in music.

What I don't like about this album, though, are the live versions of his songs: I believe Like a Rolling Stone is the worst version I've ever heard, and Quinn the Eskimo is not much better (also because they're recorded kind of poorly). The almost punk version of She Belongs to Me is better, and Minstrel Boy is done very well...

Then again, I've become a bit of an integralist Dylan fan lately, but I certainly wouldn't say this is his worst album.

I really enjoy this series of films... maybe the best of the MCU. Personally, I liked the first one more, especially for the surprise factor, but this one is still a great film in its genre.
SPOILER
It's a shame about the big bad of the moment (which okay, introduces the Celestials into the MCU, even though there had already been a hint) but still... I would have liked to see more planet and less Kurt Russell as Ego. By the way, didn't it remind you of that episode of Futurama where Leela finds her "counterpart" who prompts her to marry him? :D

Good job pulling out this awesome album... tomorrow I'll listen to it on my way to work and Friday it's pierce from within :D lately I've been getting back into my good old Death Metal (must be spring)
