Songs from Black Mountain Turned 10, Your thoughts in retrospect? Options

[Unsheathed]

Quite a few months back Songs from Black Mountain turned 10 years old.

With a decade of retrospection, what are your thoughts on Live's last effort with the original lineup?

I like it better now than I did ten years ago. I expected a lot more ten years ago, so in retrospect, its rating has gone up. But my grade on it is a D+. Maybe ten years ago it was an F+.

SFBM has some catchy moments and tunes - The River is okay, Mystery is okay, Show has its moments. But it's not lyrical poetry. It's not "Live"; it doesn't have the other elements. So still, it's kind of flat.

I thought TFATM was a noticeable step up from Alive. I actually bought a few songs from TFATM. They had some of of the magic I used to remember. I bought Take Me Back and Holy Water Tears.
