Reviews Customer Reviews for Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997      Mostly Good      Rating:      The first disk of this live album is down right sublime. Nine tracks that act kind of like three, three-part suites representing the spaceman's whole career as Spiritualized (and even a SM3 throwback). All of the best aspects of our favorite space rocker are present with quiet passages. Noisy freakouts, Floydian guitars, horns, and blues-harp are all wrapped into epic celestial symphonies. However, Disk two is not quite as strong. Aside from the ending hymn (if we can call it that), all the songs are off "Ladies and Gentlemen..." This leaves the disk feeling less interesting. Personally I am not a huge fan of Come Together's live version or of No God, Only Religion and Broken Heart in any version. Because of this I usually end up skipping the first half of the second disk. It's not terrible, but a bit of a let down compared to the first Disk. That said though, the first disk is well worth the price of admission.     Customer Reviews for Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997 Cd      -)+**      Rating:      i once declared after a spiritualized show that i no longer believed in the written word. i wanted the whole of life to be sensations from heaven, and nothing to be planted firmly on paper again. it took about three months to get over that, but the memory is still strong... this disc captures part of that for me, especially since i won't see a show like that again for a long time. take that by itself or with a grain of salt. to you and yours, j spaceman... let it flow haha!
