Generally very good, with some odd editing choices
The band interviews here are interesting and entertaining, plus it’s nice hearing from contemporaries and folks like Bob Rock on how the album was made. Nothing is very revelatory here if you know the band well, but it’s still a nice tie in to the remastered re-release. What’s baffling about the editing here is the sheer amount of repeated audio. Things someone has said earlier in an episode will sometimes appear later on again, or even in the next episode. It feels a bit repetitive and clumsy. Also, I know they needed some narration just to explain who is talking sometimes, but Claire Sturgess genuinely sounds like a robot on this. No emotion, depth or warm at all. I’m sure it’s the editing and the delivery she was asked to give but it’s very lacklustre here.
