New Black Sabbath... actually pretty good!

[Andrew_Culture]

Big riffs, somnambulent head swaying pace, crunchy bits, smooth bits, tumbling chord progressions. Even Ozzy sounds pretty good!

If you're a fan of 'old' Sabbath give this a listen, the six minute mark is where things get really great. The riff at the eight minute mark made me stand up and throw up the horns. YES!

Kudos to all involved!

Cheers Andrew
Iommi is still the riffmeister general.

And sounds as it could come straight off of Vol.4 or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

It really does doesn't it! Mr Rubin appears to have done a lovely job with production.

I'd quite like to see them at o2 arena but it's a lot of cash!

[QUOTE 2416497, member: 259"]Rick Rubin is a real Sabbath fan - there was an interview with him in MOO I think. They started the sessions by listening to the first two Sabs albums and saying that's what they wanted to do again.[/quote]

Good lads!

Nice. Proper old school Sabbath that. Ozzy sounds just the same.

But i can't never fully understand what he says while speaking normally

I'm sure it'll grow on me.

I still prefer the heaven and hell line up. Ozzy imho was better outside Sabbath and RJD was better with them.

It got all the right ingredients but seems to be lacking something. I'm not sure exactly what's missing though

....or maybe I've been listening to much sHEAVY in the gap between Never Say Die and this

Ha ha, that will be his West Midlands accent!!

That's almost sacrilege ....but I agree. RJD singing Heaven and Hell is amazing.

another thing on this recording...the drums... mean they are very cool but they don't have the same old Sabbath 'vibe'

Sadly Bill Ward isn't with the reformed Sabs, so they've used Brad Wilk ( ex Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave).

Listened to it a few more times and Ozzy sounds like he can't be arsed.

what!?!?!!? Sabbath without Ozzy is not Sabbath. Ozzy without Sabbath is Ozzy

Still waiting for this to happen, and not sure it ever will tbh.
I have also just listened to a live version of another new song "The end of the beginning" - not good. I think this may be the beginning of the end...
