The first 40 seconds is ok, sounds like a decent Ozzy track. Then the overused autotune kicks in with PM and it got a lot harder to listen to. The outro solo is also a bit wonky.

It's not horrible, but I'm not sure I'd listen to it enough to get used to it either.

Uh... How do you put it...

Abhorrent. Intro is alright and I know Ozzy has collaborated with rappers, like the Wu Tang Clan.. which was decent, but this is actually hot garbage.

Can any of these modern artists sing? They all literally sound the same when they are abusing autotune..

When I first heard the song opening, I thought...o my, a song from the No More Tears era....but that went to hell when the autotune shit kicked in. Maybe it is because I am not a teenage kid, but autotune vocals do NOT appeal to my ears. Cher did a lot of autotune late in her career, and I didn't listen to her either!!!

From my understanding, Ozzy's first verse was recorded separately at a remote location, so this isn't even a true duet by any means. (source) As far as the collab between the rappers and Ozzy, I am ok with it. Music is universal. If the collab gets young listeners to check out Ozzy (and metal music), then it's a win-win.

Will I put this song on my playlist, HELL NO. I have no intentions of checking out Post Malone even if his past is rooted in guitar and metalcore.

On a side note: Ozzy did sound good for his age and all the health issues he has had the past year. His voice was solid and strong.
