As a Linkin Park fan I had a good time with Road to Revolution, but compared to their other live releases it feels more like a solid souvenir than a must-hear showcase of how great they were on stage.
Best: One Step Closer, Bleed It Out, Given Up
Worst tracks: None are outright bad, but the album itself feels less essential than the songs on it.
Thunderstruck and the title track absolutely rip, but the rest of this is mostly the same AC/DC formula I've heard a hundred times before, fun for a few songs, then it starts to feel like one long, loud déjà vu, and those vocals definitely don't help.
Best: Thunderstruck, The Razors Edge
Worst: Most of the album after the first few highlights kind of blends together.
I don't regret hearing this, but it mostly feels like a competent Ozzy live album that reminds me there are plenty of better live recordings from his wilder, more energetic years.
Best: Bark at the Moon, Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley
Worst: Gets Me Through, No More Tears (good song, but this version doesn't hit as hard as it should)
This sounds like Ozzy Osbourne accidentally turning himself into a really good mid-day Ozzfest band, and while it's less aggressive than the classics, the huge riffs, catchy hooks, and underrated gems make this one way better than its reputation suggests.
Best: Dreamer, Gets Me Through, Facing Hell
Worst: Running Out of Time (still fine, something had to finish last)
I genuinely fell asleep to this album twice, which says everything about how Ozzy somehow turned the only record with Geezer Butler into overproduced, radio-polished boredom where Zakk Wylde's solos and a couple decent songs desperately try to keep me conscious.
Best: Perry Mason, Thunder Underground, My Jekyll Doesn't Hide, Tomorrow
Worst: My Little Man, Ghost Behind My Eyes, See You on the Other Side
