Black Sabbath has always been one of my favorite bands however after the agonizing experience of hearing "Dehuminaser" I lost interest. That is untill I started browsing Amazon for sabbath albums to replace ones I had lost. I accidentally found "Cross Purposes" an album I didn't even know existed. After reading a few reviews I decided to take the chance and purchase it. Am I ever glad I did. This album reminds me of the power sabbath had in the past from the Ozzy and RJD days. Tony Iommi's solos have never been this good and with the thump of Geezer's bass has always been a winning combination. While Tony Martin's voice will never have the skill of a Ronnie Dio or the raw aggressiveness if an Ozzy Osbourne, it doesn't need to be. He has refined himself into an identity all his own.i am happy to say I am again in the ranks of devoted sabbath fans
