Title: The Worst For the Band
Review: This is simply the worst album the band could have put together. A reunion of Iommi, Butler, Dio, and Appice....it just plain sucks.Interestingly enough, this particular lineup lasts just this one album, making one wonder whether everyone had their heart into the album as a whole? The riff work from Iommi is quite stiff in this, not at all what he exhibits previously or after this album. RJD comes up with some of the worst lyrics to date for his capabilities. He does better with latter solo efforts, as well as his earlier efforts with Black Sabbath. Furthermore, RJD's vocal work is hardly awe-inspiring - again, he does better on his later solo work, early solo work, and his earlier Black Sabbath albums. Really one of the worst albums they've put together, IMHO, and one to avoid at all costs.Now, if you're a Sabbath or RJD collector, its obviously a must-have.
Is the review positive or negative?
