Sounds like they recorded the first songs that came in their minds while in a jam/improv session. It's not a bad thing. Some songs lack variation - they repeat the same lyrics and same riffs over and over and over, like looping the same 4-bar sequence ad infinitum (j'exagère un peu).
I enjoyed the more instrumental songs like Bombast and L.A.
These are the kind of songs I get in my fever dreams.

First time listening to Bob Dylan. I know he's iconic but I just can't with his voice. I assume it's part of his charm, but I can't stand how it sounds. I don't like live albums either so this is just not for me. And with only his voice, a guitar and a harmonica for the first half of the album, it becomes more and more boring to listen to. At least the songs become more lively on the second half, and his voice fits the music better.

The best of this album IMO:
- Like A Prayer

- Til Death Do Us Part
- Keep It Together
- Act of Contrition
Makes me nostalgic and I wasn't even born when that album came out. Certaines chansons ont vraiment mal vieilli... Genre "Dear Jessie", je trouve cette chanson nulle à chier instrumentalement. "Keep It Together" est tellement années 80 c'en est crampant.
What's interesting to me is how Madonna can sing well, but how her voice isn't beautiful. She hits the notes perfectly, but in no way is she one of the best singers of all-time. But she sure does how to make iconic pop.
"Act of Contrition" is... something. Chaotic.
A classic overall.
