This is a great Black Sabbath album and the best of the Tony Martin era. Cross Purposes is loaded with monster riffs, great vocals, memorable melodies and flawless production. Alongside 1992's Dehumanizer, this release proves that Butler and Iommi should never be apart as writing partners. Tony Martin drops most of his power metal, vibrato vocals and sticks to a heavy blues style, which shines through out the record. Geezer's contribution lyrically and musically is evident and manages to bring out the best of Iommi and Martin. From beginning to end, this album does not disappoint; highlights include I Witness, Dying for Love and Evil Eye. Sadly, this line up was short-lived. Butler and Iommi were at each other throats and eventually went their separate ways.
