criticism
The ratings for HAZE were rather mixed. The website laut.de criticizes both the content and the musical implementation of the album. The site rappers.in considers the album to be “well-produced and musical rap”, but not much of the album sticks in my head. The Juice, on the other hand, is impressed by the diversity of HAZE and generally considers it to be a successful album.
“That is why there is now a brief summary of the topics that PA Sports initially devotes itself to extensively on 'HAZE': He drives a very, very fast car. The same was paid out of the postage, of course. Exactly! Of the money you'll never see Not even your girlfriend, who by the way had PA Sports a long time ago. If the content is already yawning boredom, why not also musically? Must also have thought Parham Vakili, PA's real name. 'HAZE' sounds extremely unimportant and uninspired for a large part. It is true that the Irani raps solidly. Every now and then a funny comparison or a nice reconstruction sneaks in. In the long run, however, it will at most be in the secure midfield. "

“PA Sports' abilities as a rapper have been shown once again on this album and underline why this is an artist whose music you should have heard before. But tracks that are convincing in all the aspects that make up good rap are unfortunately only found in a very limited number on this release. It is without question really well produced and musical rap. And it is always to be regretted when you criticize the changes an artist makes in his music - the hooks he sung are especially worth mentioning here - and wish him to return to what he really is. But that's exactly what comes to my mind after listening to 'HAZE' several times. Few of the tracks get stuck in your head. "
“This diversity on 'HAZE' is so convincing that one likes to ignore one or the other questionable beat selection. PA Sports itself seems to do the further development and musical opening extremely well. "
