much better than expected
I. After reading the reviews of 13 year old boys who think Sabbath was Iron Man, War Pigs, N. B & Paranoid I thought this album was going to suck big-time. However, after skipping the first 2 songs this CD has now become my favourite Tony Martin/Sabbath C. D. Do yourselves a favour and listen to this with an open mind and enjoy. You wont regret it.


Writers take note!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!
death to the naysayers. . this album rocks. . . . . . . . . don't knock it till you tried it. . . . . the writing and production is superb, so give it a whirl. . . you won't be disappointed!

5 stars!.


a lot better than what people say it is!!!!!!
the band just went in 8 days, played the songs, recorded them, then left. This was the last album with tony martin and it the closes to sounding like the first 4 (ozzy) albums. no weeks and months polishing every note. it's got raw sound, heavy, deep lyrics, great guitar solos. tony martin sings like a normal guy on this album and not so professional, like ozzy does. has melody but nothing too radio friendly (just like the early sabbath albums). tony martin's lyrics are more down to earth than the other albums. so if you like black sabbath, paranoid, masters of reality, vol. 4 than you will like this.


Horrible Horrible Horrible
I'm no Tony Martin hater; Cross Purposes is probably my 3rd favorite of all their albums, and frankly the band has never had a bad singer (I even liked Seventh Star and Born Again), but this album is just horrible. This is simply the WORST Sabbath album ever. There is no energy or chemistry at all on this record. Even Technical Ecstasy had some listenable moments, but after one listen through this abominable album it sat on my shelf untouched for years until I needed some space and sold it back to the music shop for about a buck. . . yeah, I ripped off the store for a buck, because this album isn't even worth spending a penny on. .


Bad, but not Terrible!!
e. This is one of the weaker entries for Sab, but certainly not the worst i. Born Again being the worst. This album has some redeeming qualities, but not many Illison of Power was a decent track feat. Ice-T. That track had somewhat of a throwback to earilier Sabbath, being that it was dark and gloomy sounding. Kiss of Death was a pretty good track featuring some hard driving guitar by Iommi. Guilty as Hell as was another track I liked off the album. All in all this album suffers from bad production sound and poor writting in most of the tracks, but still much better than some of the music out there today. Recommended only for true Black Sabbath fans.
