I like it. It's certainly an aptly titled LP. Cross Purposes may possibly be the best Tony Martin/Black Sabbath record. If this were the only Black Sabbath album those who made it would have reason to be proud. Some of the songs on Cross Purposes come close to being both epic and strangely relevant. On the song 'Cross of Thorns', something about the singing or the song itself reminds one vaguely of the earlier Ronnie James Dio song, 'Egypt (The Chains are On)'? If not, both songs at least share a similar theme or subject? We'll go with, 'so called' subject.
