Yeah it's pretty good.
Has some cracking songs but some flaws.
The cons:
I don't feel it justifies a 92 minute double album length with consistent quality - could drop 2-3 songs and trim some repitition to get it under 70 mins.
Bruce's voice is obviously past its best. He can still hit the highs but sounds strained - I mostly prefer the songs where he doesn't push it quite so hard.
Finally I'm not a fan of the live style production. This is a personal perference, I've never liked listening to live albums over studio recordings. Could use some polish for me - which might have helped Bruce's vocals a bit.
BUT on the good side - Some great songs which will be constantly replayed over the years. Speed of Light is catchy as f**k, Red and the Black is a ripper that reminds me of Rime of the Ancient Mariner, When the River Runs Deep and Book of Souls close the first disc well. Empire of the Clouds to finish the 2nd disc is 18 mins of epic.
