Beggar's Banquet is unbelievable. My next fav is The Singles Collection, in glorious MONO (& I'm serious about loving mono), but very clear, great dynamics etc. You can even really enjoy "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby" on *headphones* now. And on December's Children, "She Said Yeah" has been massively upgraded to Experimental Noise (previously it was Confusing Sludge). But they haven't overdone it & made them sound all slick & smooth like Pussy Galore or something. (joke) This is just on the CD layer, not the super-duper SACD layer I can't use yet. Of course one does wonder why they waited so long to do this ... Really the problems are few & far between, but on "Ruby Tuesday" the chorus sounds truly weak, and anyone can tell, just hearing it play while you're shopping in a store. Other people complain about noise reduction here & there & the continued existence of Flowers, or a few cases of the stereo not being wide enough (mostly Between the Buttons).

I saw it this afternoon. Loved Matrix, liked Reloaded. Perfect role for poor Keanu and his big doe eyes. There's some extended dialog during the first third which grated like dialog in porn. Less chatter and more fighting next time. And this is the first movie that I wish that the sex scene been left *out*. Anyway, that said most of the action scenes are *amazing* - thrilling. Some scenes where every onscreen element is computer generated look cartoony, a la Spiderman. But where it worked in Spiderman, I found it distracting here. The dialog was not as succinct as the first movie, and the music was for the most part staid and distracting. Sounded like a John Williams score, though I hope to God it wasn't.
