C/D: Black Sabbath With Singers Other Than Ozzy and Dio

For a band picking up over a decade after their day in the sun, it's a shitload better than The Firm, put it that way.

Maybe it's a bit of emotional maturity that they would even think about cunning linguists instead of just the fact they got laid. I was a teenager when that 'tape' came out and bought it at a Kmart with money earned from a paper route, so I would admit my lenses may be a bit fogged. When I listen to it and House of Blue Light, I do think they caught that 70s vibe pretty well in hindsight decades later. I dig Born Again kinda in the same way as I first heard it when I was like 13. I got that one on a music club tape too.

That's a weird era of rock and roll as you had all these guys really a bit beyond sell date still cranking it out and really the main stream (say the Police or Rush) was on a different wavelength let alone what happened with punk in my hole in the universe something you had to dig into the earth to find.

Steven Wilson remix of Born Again would be cool to hear.

I understand that ozzy left and tony had to get that Dm7 chord out of his system and Dio is great, but they shouldn’t have called it Black Sabbath, because it wasn’t
