Black Sabbath

Advantages: great band, great music, great performance
Disadvantages: none

Black Sabbath were an awesome heavy metal band, packing some of the greatest and toughest metal I have heard ever before. I really liked the singers tone of voice, he really pushes his voice to the max to sing the songs that this band managed to pull off, and I really respect their music style. Even though there are many bands like them, they are one of the few who are able to perform this music live and properly, the way it should be. I think ... Read review

Advantages The noble exit of the original headbangers.
Disadvantages New material mediocre at best.

...Black Sabbath -the name itself should be more than enough to send a delightful shiver down the spine of any metal fan. The name is steeped in musical legend - Black Sabbath were the first, and the greatest, heavy metal band. Everything which came after them is just pale imitation in comparison. But even so, this album, while it should send me into paroxysms of delight, actually awakened a faint unease in me when I first heard that it was the original line up reformed. There was a faint niggling doubt at the back of my mind. What if they weren’t very good any more? To start with let me say that this album crackles with live energy. If anything that has improved with time, and Ozzy has an almost electric ability to communicate with the crowd. It is an impressive feat that the producers manage to bring across that kind...

Advantages Good Set
Disadvantages No Ozzy

...Another live Sabbath set this time with Ronny Dio singing. Although he doesn't have quite the same raw vocal power as Ozzy or the stage presence he manages to pull off the songs on this CD pretty well. Time Machine, I Witness, Psychophobia, Cross Of Thorns & Headless Cross are all post Ozzy songs. The older songs on the CD are Children Of the Grave, Into The Void, Black Sabbath, Wizard, Symptom Of The Universe, Paranoid, Iron Man and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. The CD is available on its own but is also available with a video with a couple more songs from the set added. This should be the one post Ozzy item in your collection as it's interesting to see how another singer performs classics like Black Sabbath and Paranoid.... Read review
