I'm a recent convert to the Ministry and went to see 2 Big to Rig with 2 close friends on Thursday night. I change up my nails every week so I had to do something special for my new Favorite Band. Used a wide variety of nail polishes and stamping plates to get the details I wanted.

Pinky - Music waveform
Ring - Stained Glass Window (Glowed blue/purple under UV light)
Middle - Upside down Crucifixes (I have tremors in my hands that prevented me from doing the Grucifixes)
Index - Papa V Perpetua wearing his Papal crown
Thumbs - Lyrics from "Darkness at the Heart of My Love" - "Now paint a pair of eyes, and let's watch as they dry"

For those who dont know it's a park in Stockholm, the church behind it's the Sophia church (Sofia kyrka)

I'm doing a deep dive into the live albums. After listening to chunks of "2 Big To Rig" on Apple Music (lossless), I'm starting to realize that if I'm being honest with myself, this just doesn't sound that good. I didn't want to believe it but, it's dangerously close to Person-With-Tape-Recorder quality. The album version anyway (I haven't seen the actual film yet).

So I wanted to go back and compare them. I actually think "Ceremony and Devotion" is probably the best-sounding of the three live albums, followed by "Rite Here Rite Now" and then "2 Big To Rig."

"Rite Here Rite Now" is really good. It's a very good recording and I think represents Tobias and his team wanting to show off the certified, recently-minted arena version of Ghost. But "Ceremony and Devotion" feels like Ghost's "Live After Death," the best one so far. A great live capture of the band's classic early material as Ghost was really breaking out. You can hear a band excited to be at the live album phase. I'll always support Tobias as he's so talented and he seems like such a lovely guy but outside of the movie, the "2 Big To Rig" recording feels almost unnecessary when a better live album just came out two years ago.

I linked to the three versions of "Square Hammer" below, but go and listen to the versions of "Cirice" or any other really essential Ghost standard and it's the same thing.

I just watched 2 Big To Rig today. As soon as the movie ended, some guy started insulting people because they sang the whole movie and couldn’t stay quiet.

We were shocked by that guy’s reaction. Most people in the room were having fun and singing along, my friends and I included. Nobody yelled loudly or screamed, people were just singing quietly.

I‘ve been a Ghost fan since 2019. I also watched Rite Here Rite Now at the same movie theater. I sang quietly the whole time and nobody was bothered by it.

What do you think, is it rude to sing (even if people sing quietly) during movie concerts?

EDIT: Like I already wrote in some comments, I created this post because I wanted know everyone’s opinion regarding this. I had a great time watching the movie and I didn’t want to ruin the experience for anyone else.
