1001 Albums Summary

heard plenty of Ozzy work before, was always class but then again those were like his most popular songs. When listening to their early Black Sabbath work out of curiosity for that dark religious sound, didn't feel it was my thing. But I was quite surprised with the Vol4, the beautiful classic hard rock sound with the elements of band's signature dark vibe - it's not all that muffled and noisy as I'd imagined it would be. "Changes" which is legendary adds even more soul to the album and it's been quite an exiting ride. Not something I'd listen to everyday, but "Supernaut" and "Snowblind" is something I will return to! The instrumentals are great.

felt like a mix of preaching and music, not so much singing. It's not a bad thing though, it has character. "Underground spiritual" rhythms from the 70's that you feel in your body upon listening to. The African bits of the music make it even more so charming, it's been great to learn more about Yoruba music and Afrobeat through this album!

like some listeners on this platform noted, the album becomes slower towards the end, but oh wow it started off amazingly. I gotta say, jazz is not my genre, so I don't feel it's fair me judging it. I will do it anyway lol. As for a non-dedicated listener, I'd say it was good!

Quoting Mike Shinoda: "I had nothing to say." 5 stars

for some reason I never quite liked Beatles, though I really like 60-70's similar US music. From where I am from, Ukraine, and I was born during the times of independence from the Gulag land (aka soviet union), but my parents had to literally risk their lives to get a hold of foreign music. I have a couple of vinyl recordings of this album that I inherited, and they are the crappy soviet version ones, from the times when the ban on foreign music was majorly lifted and soviets were producing their own crappy records. What I realized is that I never actually fully listened to this album, though I heard all of them songs separately. And I gotta admit that I really liked the album, even not being a Beatle fun. It's a bunch of horny talented boys from 60's who were good with the romantic songs and catchy rhythms. I bet back in the day it was revolutionary. I found this to be vary nice and cute experience! p.s whoever commented with an amogus with giant pengus and a one start has got to chill lol

classic heavy metal, it's good but can be overwhelming!
