GILLAN/SABBATH
this is often overlooked release in the sabbath cannon, but it rocks. this wound up being just a one album deal with ian gillan taking the mike after dio left. sounding sometimes like sabbath and sometimes like deep purple this remaster sounds a lot better than the original.


not sabbath,s greatest.
i also like ian gillan as a singer!however this album is at best subpar for black sabbath. I like black sabbath with ozzy and with ronnie dio. i know black sabbath had to deal with the trauma of losing ozzy after a long time, and then losing ronnie dio after a relatively short time. although the thought of teaming famous deep purple singer, ian gillan up with black sabbath sounded like a great idea, the end result was kind of weak in my opinion. i liked only 2 songs from the album,trashed and zero the hero. i think black sabbath is great,but this album is a fluke!!compare it to,heaven and hell,mob rules,master of reality,sabotage,paranoid or any other sabbath album and i think it comes out weak. this line-up of black sabbath was also very shortlived. i wish i could give it a better review, before the time it was released i looked forward to it,s release. . it was a disappointment. i have relistened to it over the years thinking i would like it more over time. . . no. just no.


Very underrated album


A couple of the songs grab you instantly but this is one of those albums that ten listens into it some of the other songs like Keep it Warm will be your favorite. The original vinyl version didn't have the best sound but unless you're hung up on Ozzy being the only real singer of Black Sabbath you will probably love this album.

Don't buy just one download - this is an album in the classic sense - buy the whole thing or you will be missing out.

Awesome Deep/Sabbath
This is a classic Black Sabbath album and even better on disc, so glad I bought it . This is a must have Sabbath disc a bit dark and hoary from Disturbing the priest,Digital Bitch,Zero the Hero.


Born Again
Black Sabbath-Born Again **

Tony Iommi, the heart and soul of Black Sabbath and Ian Gillian formerly of Deep Purple making a Black Sabbath album together should have been gold. . it wasn't. Gillians vocals sound like he is trying to sing while ridding a roller coaster because he sounds like he is falling and can't keep pitch. Of course the man can hit those high notes but damn that can get annoying when it is the only thing he is doing right on an already lame album. Beside Iommi's guitar work on the album is less than stellar and really leaves something to be desired.

The opening track 'Trashed' is just stupid and Spinal Tap in every since of the joke. The lyrics are weak and the musicianship is well trashed. Then they go into 'Stonehenge' a track that should have been an intro or just left of completely because it also feels very Spinal Tap. 'Disturbing The Priest' starts out almost industrial than goes into something really bland and unbearable. 'Digital Bitch' just has to be a joke, it really had to be it was so bad. The title track is pretty decent though. It begins slow than sort of gets going but then never really delivers, but it is at least listenable. Though Gillian vocals can be a little abrasive here and his lyrics feel trite if you really focus on them.

Born Again is among the worst releases in Black Sabbath history and just might be the worst. No question that it is the worst of the 1980's. What a shame, something that could have been amazing turned out to be trash.
