Hasnt changed my impression that the only 2 black sabbath albums you need to own are Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules.

I don't like any of them.

 

those 2 are classics imo

I bought the deluxe edition and I was underwhelmed on my first spin.

Yep it sounds like classic Ozzy Sabbath but with only average songs. Yes it's excellent musically and they don't miss Ward IMO and Ozzy sounds great but damn where are the songs???? And every track is like 8 minutes long so that is a little overkill. I'll stick with the DIO and Martin albums..........

I agree ... I was VERY disappointed.

I'm somewhat underwelmed by it to be honest. Much prefer the Dio era and also the Tony Martin era.

 

Yes and yes so yeah I agree. I've tried playing it a second time and it's just hard to get through these songs or jam sessions or whatever you call them.

The songs are pretty good, but it's way overproduced, which makes it sound like it could be any number of recent Ozzy solo records. It definitely should have had a grittier feel to it.

I've tried getting through this album 3 times. All three times I have had to put something else in the player to keep me from falling asleep. No wonder I was was able to get it for $4.00.

As mentioned, some of the tunes go on a bit, making the album feel too long over all, and there are the bonus tracks to get through as well on the special edition. On the plus side, it does have some great Iommi riffage going on and Geezers bass is superb as always. Ozzy sounds not half bad either. I think the sound/ mix/ production of the album is really good too. I think it's a pretty strong album over all and thankfully I wasn't disappointed listening to it. Not their best, but certainly no turkey either.

After a whole lot of spins i'm feeling the same way Jez dones about the album,not a killer but still a good effort all round and alot of bands reforming and releasing new material after a long period of time have fallen way short compared to this Sab release.

Yeah agree. I don't understand with all the negativity, if in the first place people can't enjoy the first four Sabbath albums, then there's no point in trying this one out, because it has the doom depressive slow atmosphere that's caught in the early years, but I do agree it's a bit overproduced, but this is 2013, probably they want to add a modern feel to the sound instead of emulating the raw sound of the late 60s/early 70s

My favourite Ozzy-era album is 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' (with 'Sabotage' a close second), which puts me well and truly in the minority of Sabbath fans, given my love for the Dio and Martin-fronted albums ... that said, this album still smacks of one last chance to make a quid buck off the back of a legendary name.

Well I love the first four Sabbath albums but I still think it's a weak one. Why? Maybe because there are no SONGS on it.

Hm sorry mate but that one I don't understand at all since most of the songs in the new album basically borrows many passage from the early albums, but to each their own :D

Absolutely I did...about $5.00 too much, because the band will need to pay me to listen to it again.

Actually, they're part of songs mate :D

 

but like GNR's 'Chinese Democracy', perhaps that's the way it is, in the end, it divided fans into two,

some love it, some hate it, so nothing to worry about

      10 days away.... Hurricane Helene destruction in North Carolina

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds.

      Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?

      10 days away.... Hurricane Helene destruction in North Carolina

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...

      Best albums of 2024

      By tts42572 · Posted

      I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.

      Best albums of 2024

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin

      I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.
