1001 Albums Summary

Solid song writing. Very very tight. Inspired performances of all musicians. Literally nothing about this album not to love. Sets the stage to an incredible body of work.

This is a very produced album, but it has some incredible songs. The most incredible thing about this album is how it has stood the test of time.

Not a bad album but not a fan of this genre.

While not a huge fan, this was a ground breaking album and you can hear the influences it had.

Seminal heavier album. I say that as Ozzy never liked the term Heavy Metal. Simply sublime from start to finish.
