Alright, firstKISS with 85,000 then AEROSMITH with 82,000 now SABBATH with 120,000 units sold and nomber 1! these days that would be like gold back in the 90s and they deserve it. it is a awesome album, just wish it was RONNIE but i’m sure he’s happy for tony and geez.
Any time i can hear new sabbath i am happy!I think the album is metal at its best, but classic sabbath!? There r hints of some past songs (planet caravan) BLACK SABBATH THE SONG, but in my opinion ,this is what they would have sounded like with the HEAVEN & HELL line up.Having said that, i love it!!I love all sabbath!! Tony Iommi has kept the sabbath flag flying!!! & he still is !!!LONG LIVE SABBATH!!!
