Pretty consistent although the album feels a bit front loaded, so when listening to some of the deeper cuts feels like a drag. But that is not to discredit some of the deep cuts. All around it is a great listen throughout, even though it drags in places.
Fav tracks: Parallel universe, Around The World, Scar Tissue, Otherside, Californication, Easier, This Velvet Glove, Road Trippin’
Least fav: Saviour
4/5
If anything, the album deserves its praise for influencing every single metal band. The Self-Titled debut is an amazing showcase of skill and balance. Every track was on point, but songs like N.I.B and Evil Woman really show the skill level of the bassist Geezer Butler, while songs like the Title track and Warning are showcases of the guitarist Toni Iommi’s excellent riff-writing abilities. Ozzy is also on point on every track on the album. There isn’t a single point in the album where the pacing is disturbed, but songs like Behind the Wall of Sleep and evil woman are more on the upbeat side. This album truly showcases the skill of the godfathers of metal.
Fav tracks: Title track, The Wizard, Behind the Wall of Sleep, N.I.B, Evil Woman, Warning, Wicked world
Least fave: Sleeping village (still amazing)
5/5
Love the orchestral elements and the progressive time signatures. It does drag sometimes and I find it a bit repetitive. Other than that, the album is easy on the ears and it showcases Stevens’ ability as a singer/songwriter very well. The choir is excellently used and is never uncalled for.
All around, the album is a great listen, if you’re into more orchestral pop.
Fav tracks: Come on! Feel the Illinoise, John Wayne Gacy, Jr., Jacksonville, Chicago, The Man of Metropolis…, The Tallest Man….
Least fave: A conjunction of drones..
4/5
The lyrics are impeccable… Everything else falls flat.
Fav tracks: NY State of Mind, It Ain’t Hard to Tell
Least fav: Life’s a bitch
3/5
A decent folk album with some great tunes. Dylan’s singing is pretty alright, considering that he has a controversial style of singing. That being said, I heard better albums in the past.
Fav tracks: Like a Rolling Stone, Tombstone Blues, Title Track, Desolation Row
Least fav: Ballad of Thin Man
3.5/5
Jorge Ben shows on this project that he is a decent songwriter. The instrumentation of the album is good, but the singing downgrades it a little. The album really just goes in one ear, out the other.
Fav tracks: Umbabarauma, Meos Filhos, Taj Mahal
Least fav: Camisa 10 da Gavea
3/5
Prime reggae. Every song is excellent, no skips throughout the almost 40 minute project.
Fav tracks: all of them
Least fav: none of them
5/5
While the album has a great political massage and concept, half of the project consists of screaming catchphrases and the same beat every song.
I’ll probably revisit the album some day in the future.
Fav songs: Revolutionary Generation, Fight the Power, B Side Wins Again
Least fav: Pollywannacraka
2/5
It’s decent. I’ve heard better rapping but it’s better than the contemporaries of it’s time but still…

Surprisingly very good. Love the ballads on the album. I also like that it does not overstay its welcome. Every song is straight to the point.
Fav songs: Blue Suede Shoes, I’m Counting on you, One-Sided Love Affair, Tutti frutti,
I’m Gonna Sit Down and Cry, I’ll Never Let You Go,
Least fav: Just Because (still great)

3/5
Johnny cash’s rasply vocals against the acoustic guitar work very well. Love the covers
A classic. Nothing to say really
