Aug 14, 2020Gift of Sacrifice finds Osborne flexing the might of his compositional prowess to deliver a new side of his talent that is, above all else, purely and wholly Buzz.
-
Aug 13, 2020Gift of Sacrifice is an engaging, even emotional, collection of songs.
-
Classic Rock MagazineAug 13, 2020This seven-track album has a similar stripped-down, raw feel to its acoustics and shivery, spooked vocals. [Summer 2020, p.89]
-
Aug 14, 2020Gift of Sacrifice, in comparison, is noticeably more accomplished and better thought out, and Dunn's presence as a collaborator certainly helps Osborne make this into something memorable, though if he's smart he won't get rid of his amplifiers just yet.
-
Aug 13, 2020Three tracks, including the opener and closer, are short instrumentals that might have been elongated for further immersive and exploratory effect. Otherwise, the album is an off-kilter musical gift born of Osborne’s sacrifice of conventionality for weirder, wider possibilities.
-
Aug 13, 2020Where Gift of Sacrifice really succeeds is in its forays away from tracks that eschew the standard song structure.
