Vol. 4
Black SabbathI enjoyed this. A good album with some great songs. You can hear the echoes of influence it has had on future bands.
I'm sceptical of one listen reviews as some of my favourite albums were not on first listen.... but... this was okay, some interesting tracks but not one I'd return to. Lots of 80s electro drumming and a little synth.
Not my cup of tea but understand that there are people who like this sort of stuff.

This is an ok album with some listenable songs. It is of its time though I think - it should have stayed in the 1990s. Astonishing to see how many 5* reviews listeners are giving this. If this is 5*, what is Ziggy Stardust?
All the songs you've heard before. Just what you'd expect.
Again an ok album that might be of its time. Some innovation and interesting lyrics... And again, I'm conscious of one listen reviews. But can this justify being one of the greatest albums of all time?
Poignant to be reviewing this the day after Ozzy's death, it really is a very good album. The best of any genre is always great even if it's not your taste and this is testament to that. It's easy to forget how groundbreaking this stuff was.
Sounds like a great gig, uncomplicated and raw. Fantastic live recording. I suspect this one is in the list because JLL was such an influential figure in popular music - though enjoyed his peak before the concept of the album enjoyed its own. So as a record capturing an important musician, it's a good listen, as an important album, maybe less so.
I've never liked Michael Jackson and this is an album full of songs you already know and didn't really like. I suppose it's among the best of that late 70s disco but not something I'll make a habit of listening to.
