Too long and over produced. Not the Sabbath of old. Not a chance in hell Ozzys remembers all the lyrics–even with his Teleprompter.
Not impressed.
BS was always like that back in the early days, deal with it, or skip it
Sounds amazing, gives me the same chills as when I heard Never Say Die one Tuesday night in 1978 on the old 102.7 in NYC.
Love the change up at 6:25.
This album will be huge. The perfect swan song for them all.
Musicaly didn’t sound like Sabbath until the change up! sounded more like Ozzy’s early solo stuff (vocal sound played a big part in that also). But once it happened all i can say is long live Geezer Butler.
it sounds like overproduced shit..just like rick ruben always does.where is tony?? I have been a sabbath fan since 70′ I have high hopes but this song does not deliver .
i def agree. i expect a great solo. ehh but the song is good though! ozzy sounds great. i cant wait to hear new songs. its not bad!
Sounds along the lines of SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH and the underated masterpiece SABOTAGE. Rick Ruben will be a difference maker. The production of THE DEVIL YOU KNOW was flat and other than BIBLE BLACK, that album was a snoozer (R I P Dio of course). Hard to imagine 35 years between albums but here it comes. Session drummer is up to the task here, can t wait to hear more. Given all that is going on in the world, Geezer Butler lyrics then and now are still relevant. Good luck to Iommi for a full recovery, his book was good read and I ll bet he s a decent guy and an all time great.
Geezer’s bass is massive. This sounds like what the next Heaven & Hell disc would have been. Iommi solo? don’t think i heard one. Ozzy sounds uninspired. Will have to give it a few more listens. if not for Geezers bass, i’d give it a 4 our of 10. cause of Geezer i give it a 6.
