Brother, what do you think about the theme of existential self-suppression?

Excessive and, to be honest, rather trivial, but despite this intense and analytical. The album, at the time, was a shrewd commercial operation, given that the last live recording had been made nearly 20 years earlier. From a qualitative standpoint, however, its monumental nature cannot be denied. A speculative success, certainly, but nonetheless one cannot dispute the greatness of this representation...

In my opinion, the title track is one of their most beautiful songs... An excellent mix of progressive metal and 70s hard rock. Grapow has a brilliant compositional flair... It's a shame it's quite fragmented... I would compare him to Alvaro Recoba...!!! :-)))

Thank you Jack Black for the valuable advice... wah wah wah wah wah

omitted: I've skipped "this is all that remains for us.."

Great review. In my opinion, it’s inferior to the predecessor. The latter leaned much more towards the sounds of the Guns... The new platter, on the other hand, has its roots too obviously in the 70s, with perhaps too many sonic echoes... Beyond that, however, the sounds are very (at times I’d say too..) catchy and the melodies truly impactful, to the point of seeming crafted more to please at all costs... Anyway, all that remains of the Guns today is this... Take it or leave it. The score would be 3 1/2, but for the names of this band and what they’ve done, half a point more is a must...

errata: objectives

I didn't quite understand the last sentence, but I mostly agree with everything. Aside from a couple of subpar tracks, the album is good. Never before in this work has Zakk's influence been so evident. In my opinion, the soundscapes of the songs are all his; Ozzy and Churko arranged them. The title track and the second-to-last one are absolutely Black Sabbath. The others, particularly the first two tracks, lean more towards a modernized late 80s sound. In conclusion: an album like this made by a 60-year-old/live legend who still shows a desire to play deserves respect. It's not a masterpiece, but definitely a very respectable album, light-years away from its predecessor and perhaps a worthy successor to No More Tears (read: in the sense that if it had followed No More Tears instead of Ozzmosis, it would have received less dissent while still dignifiedly retaining those soundscapes) 3 objective stars, 4 for the effort and humility.

a shop here in the province where I am...let's say that the seller, ehm ehm...is a bit distracted since he also sold me some bootlegs (hard to find) on vinyl of Metallica, or the first edition of The Dark Side of the Moon, English and with the related posters and stickers, all between 5 and 10 euros...

Well....mine is French anyway....paid 5 euros for it, by the way....ah ah ah...
