Black Sabbath are back and they can kick some serious a**. The reunion was the brain child of Sharon Osbourne (ozzys wife). It was after a gap of 20 odd years did the Black Sabbath band members reunite to raise hell in Transylvania....
Some where between 79 and 81 Ozzy was fired from the band for his MONO TONE Vocal range, which infact was the heart and soul of Black Sabbath.Toni Iommi, after havin fired the ozzman, recruited a lotta singer, including Ronni James Dio of the DIO Fame, but the crowd missed the mad mans antics and his voice hence the death of the greatest band of the Millennium...... Iommi even tried his luck as an solo artist, which failed. If am not mistaken, the band reunited in 2000 after the 4th Ozz Fest.....Rumours had it that the band was reforming but it was the last time that any one would see the Black Sabbaths perform live anywhere in the world.
Toni Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler and Ozzy were at the peaks of their performance.....but its a tradition for the Black Sabbathers drummer, Ward, to mess up atleast once and mess up he did.....he toppled the whole damn drum kit.
The album comprises of the best of the commercial stuff of the sabbath period with Ozzy, Possibly due for a collectors album pretty soon.
The Sabbathers Last album...and if you really love them and the music they brought out to the world....PICK UP THE ALBUM!..............The sound recording and vocals are extremly pure and clean......doesnt sound like a live album.....untill u hear the crowds roars of approval......
