Only just listenable. The Stones don't do a lot for me.

Some of it's okay but largely rather boring. Gave up on it.

Not a fan of Ozzy's voice (-1) but it was worth listening to the album in order to discover The Straightener (+1)!

Some good music but a whole album of his somewhat grating voice is too much for me.

Good.

Okay but it's not really my thing.

This. Is. Amazing.

Rather boring.

Enjoyable.
