Sabbath with everyone else?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Seeing as all other Sabbath albums are represented, I thought I'd do a poll comprising of the rest of their output. Some of these are somewhat unlikely; 'Born Again' is actually cheesily enjoyable and a very guilty pleasure for me whilst 'Seventh Star' would have worked far better had it been put out as a Tony Iommi solo album as intended. I've not heard the last three on the poll, but of those I do know, 'Eternal Idol' gets my vote. It features two stone cold classics in 'The Shining' and the awe inspiring title track that's one of their very best imo.

	Hey love the Electronic intro on Born Again - Sabbath went a bit commercial on that album IMO but still a great listen, oh and Dehumanizer is good too. Although the OZZY era is the greatest part of the band.
	CYMRU AM BYTH

	Born Again ... but really it was all seriously downhill by this point, IMO ... every full album I've heard after that has been poor ... I think I just have a compile covering this era (called Seven Stones, I think) ... haven't heard most of this stuff since the early 90s though
