Stay Frosty, muthas!
It sucks dude...
It does have a nice bass sound...
Rick Ruben should be behind bars...stricken from the music industry...
That fat drug addict knows about as much about music as Eddie fucking Trunk...
'Sucks' is a bit harsh. It is a grower - give it a couple of spins.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
So what people are saying is that I shouldn't throw away my copy of Vol. 4 in anticipation of this album?
Probably not...
Definitely not. But no one - not even the world's biggest optimist - was hoping that '13' was going to rival any of the first 6 records...........
I'm not one who hates Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die. Love those albums. Frankly, the first 11 are all good. I'm just hoping they can put out something along the lines of The Devil You Know, and not along the lines of Forbidden.

I never forgave him for killing off Wolfsbane...
Worth $400 million to whom ??
Gauging people by their dollar worth has never meant shit to me anyway...
That is the big question in my mind...how does is stack up against the Heaven and Hell record? To my taste, The Devil You Know was plodding but the music was good enough to keep me interested. Is this up there with that, a little better, or below that?
RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE
LET `EM ROLL ONE MORE TIME
It's difficult to compare. It's certainly got a warmer feel - it's far bluesier than the Heaven & Hell record - but it probably won't make you punch the air and headbang as much. There were certainly weak spots on H & H, but it fuckin' kicked in places too. It also oozed charisma.
So, I'd say H & H is the surperior record but not by much. The main problem with '13' is that the songs still feel like jams in many places.
Don't hate 'Technical Ecstasy' or 'Never Say Die' (in fact, I think 'Technical' is underated) but they were a noticeable step down from the first 6.....
I don't know about that, I love 'em both...
Even 'Never Say Die'? Take off the title track and I'm not hearing much to get excited about..........
Johnny Blade and Junior's Eyes are incredible in my humble opinion.
Yup. I always though the album got a bum rap. There's a lot of good tunes.
Oh yeah ??
Johnny Blade, Junior's Eyes, Hard Road, Shock Wave and especially Air Dance...
All top notch material...
Well, maybe not Shock Wave, but I still like it...
Well, I say this 13 album sucks ass. Heard most of it already and it was enough.
They should have let Sabbath RIP.
The Devil You Know was better than this crap.
=V V=
ole No.1 The finest
EAT US AND SMILE
About the same, I'd say...
To Vinnie and Sabbath...
I have heard 4 songs thus far on the radio and they all seem to follow the same pattern. They start off plodding and then about middle ways they pick up speed and change into something else. Sometimes they come back to murkiness and sometimes they don't. Historically, that is what made Sabbath tunes so cool in that they would always change and you would end up getting 2 or 3 songs in one. There is still some of that going on here i like the tunes once they change and pick up speed. Overall, i am happy with what i have heard thus far. I am not hearing what is turning some of you guys off. However, some of you thought Scream was a good record and i still can't figure that out either.
Why don't you fags put the Sabbath album away, and go back to watching the Kardashians.
Can't i do both at the same time?
I have the album.... it's no bueno. Too slow, they auto-toned the shit out of Ozzy's vocals (which is all you can do). I'm trying to have an open mind... I'm really trying.
I've given it my first listen. Picked it up at Walmart today. I refused to spend the extra $5 to get the 2 cd version, for three added songs. If they are so good, they'd be on the album...anyway....
It's not bad. I wasn't ready to throw it across the room the way I was with the last Aerosmith abomination. I'll have to give it a good play on my stereo, because I had to listen on my laptop the first time. Ended up having to play around with the equalizer a bit to get the sound right. Goddamn new technology where they record everything so loudly...sound gets clipped, distorts...pisses me off.
Anyway it's got some good tunes. I was particularly inpressed with "Zeitgeist". Nice little song. "Loner" was smoking.
It seems like at times they, or Rick Rubin, are trying too hard to be "classic Sab". Most of the songs follow the same plan- start slow and plodding, change tempo to fast, change tempo back to slow. Thing is, you could predict pretty much every time change a mile away. Then it was like someone said, "Hey put some harmonica in there, like 'The Wizard'!"
Iommi sounds good! Some nice solos. Geezer is not pounding at all, but as I said, maybe when I give it a spin on my stereo. Ozzy..lot of help there, but what did you expect?
I wouldn't say it's better than The Devil You Know, but it's not too far off. Worth the $12 for sure. And it will certainly get more plays from I.
Oh, anyone else make the connection with the thunderstorm at the end of the album? Full circle kind of thing, I guess?
More like a bad joke...
I was in Walmart today and passed it up...
I think rather than get 13 I'll just go ahead and get some of the classic Sab albums I haven't yet bothered to update from my old vinyl/cassette copies...
Either that, or just put Born Again into the car cd player and play Trashed while zooming down I-75 at 90 mph.
Saw a clip of Sabbath playing War Pigs down under this year, and Ozzy's vocals were pathetic: he couldn't even be bothered singing all the verses, much less make so much as a half-assed attempt to sing them in the original key - Ozzy sang a verse, then held the mic to the crowd and had them sing the next one, etc. Fuck, why would I pay premium ticket prices to hear the audience sing half the fucking songs?
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Yeah Dave...
I mean Ozzy...
Turned it off when I heard Ozzy rhyme "lie" and "die".
I know it's not Shakespeare, but really?

'Cause three holes are better than a hole-in-one!!!
So, I'm listening to this new crap on Youtube...
:yawn:
The problem is a total lack of good material and Prick Ruben...
That guy really fucking sucks...
He's like the Corporate brand full of poisonous chemicals that went bad years ago and nobody threw him out...
Ozzy isn't the core problem, although his wastedness is readily apparent...
But I don't blame him...
A free eight ball handed to me by Ozzy himself wouldn't keep me interested in this, really pathetic album...
I hate it more every time I try to give it a listen...
Thanks Sharon, you finally did it...
Ozzy and Sabbath are DONE !!!

Black Sabbath wrote 13 lyrics under pressure
Black Sabbath wrote all the lyrics to '13' the night before they were recorded, but songwriter Geezer Butler says he works best under pressure.
Black Sabbath wrote all the lyrics to '13' the night before they were recorded.
Bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler was under pressure to come up with the ideas for the band's latest album - their first with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 33 years - and while he found it harder than in the band's 70s heyday, he didn't mind too much because he works better that way.
He told website fasterlouder.com.au: "It used to come naturally back then. Plus they would be written while we were doing gigs, over a period of time. Whereas this album I literally had to write the lyrics the night before Ozzy sang them, so I didn't have any time.
"Literally the night before. I think there was one song, 'Dear Father', which I'd written about 12 months ago. But when push comes to shove, it had to be done. And I work better under pressure.
"It's just trying to come up with different themes for the songs, that's the hardest part. Once I worked out what I was writing about, it made it a lot easier."
Ozzy - who went on to have a successful solo career after leaving the band in 1978 - also contributed some lyrics of his own.
Geezer added: "Although I did most of the lyrics, Ozzy did four sets of them, I think. Originally we did 16 songs, but there's [only eight on the album]. Ozzy did four, and I did 12."
Greezer - who makes up the band with Ozzy and Tony Iommi - also said he can't wait to get out and play live, after months of rehearsals and recording.
He added: "As a musician the best is being onstage, in front of a crowd, because that's when you give the most. And you get the most back.
"The worst is when you're in rehearsals; you're just playing to a wall."

OFUCKINGMG, these bullshit lyrics are like a Spinal Tap joke...
It's like Geezer and whomever (Tony, Prick Ruben?) tried to rewrite the song Black Sabbath 100 times...
It's really a pathetic uninspired bad joke...I'm waiting for Iommi to come clean with the gag and give us the real album...
Yes...It's that bad...
YAWN WAS GIVING IT TOO MUCH FUCKING CREDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!
:vomit:
It fucking sounds like it too...
Like he had something fucking else to do in the months leading up to the recording sessions...BASTARD !!
Geezer Butwipe is officially off of my hero list...
Schoolboy error, he should have at least have been smart enough to keep it to himself.
Now everyone knows if a line looks simple or a bit lame that's all there is to it, they are less likely to look for a deeper subtle meaning.
Jesus dude...was it 10 cent beer night at your local pub or something?
Who, Sesh ??
And what's up with these three piece press releases ??
