4.5 superb
Ozzy Osbourne Patient Number 9
Despite the many health issues Ozzy has had to contend with over the past few years, his voice sounds great throughout the album, and the proclamation ‘I’ll never die cos I’m immortal’ is delivered with a cheeky wink and defiant edge.

The sheer vitality of tracks like Mr. Darkness, Degradation Blues and Dead And Gone is truly delightful, bringing back some of the wild-eyed energy of Ozzy’s past but without feeling as throwaway as previous tracks such as Tiny Little Green Men and It’s A Raid did.

For all the guest star appearances, it’s the return of guitarist Zakk Wylde that will likely please long-time fans most. Unsurprisingly, the Wylde songs are simultaneously among the most straight-ahead, classic-sounding Ozzy tracks on the album, while also showing that Wylde still brings a star power of his own.

That said, there’s also plenty to be excited about with the return of the Ozzy/Tony Iommi pairing. Sidestepping anything remotely Sabbath (in fact, the most Sabbath-like track is the Wylde-led Evil Shuffle), Iommi instead brings a sense of heft and gravitas that sounds practically apocalyptic.

While perhaps not as emotionally loaded as Ordinary Man, Patient Number 9 better captures the mischievous, defiant energy of heavy metal’s original madman. Even stacked for comparison against some of the most legendary musicians on the planet, Ozzy is an icon like no other. He’s a man who took heavy metal from the back streets of Birmingham to conquer the world.

4.0 excellent
Under The Symphony The Ruthless Art of Living Part I
Talking about: The Ruthless Art of Living Part 1 by UTS

First of all, Under the symphony is an Argentine band formed in Buenos Aires 8 years ago. Their first album was Storm in a Volcano that was published in 2018 but I certenly couldn't listen to it in attention.
The Ruthless Art of Living came into me after watch this band's single Just a grief song, that was published in youtube. Strong lyrics and a strange combination of rock-soul-pop sounds made me want to listen more new staff of this particular band.
The extended play came out in August and could listen to it a few times, each one of those times with out boring myself like it use to happen with new stuff that I am currently listen, it result diffucult to me nowadays to sit down and enjoy a full album. I can consider myself a rookie bassist so I will rate this album as a "musican".
The Ruthless in incredible from the beggining to the end, from country rock to pop-rock, the lyrics are deep like the unespected Pasadena's tale. My favourite song is Mystical Fire, it reminds me a lot of 70's rock mixing sound of reggae? Tell me if I'm wrong bcz the differents styles makes me dizzy.
I love this new kind of bands that show a break in new wave music, bands like Black Top Mojo, Buckcherry, Stone Horses and many others that are changing the way of Rock Sounds

3.5 great
