BLACK SABBATH - 13
THE END.
After almost 20 years (18) Sabbath comes out with a new record and this was HUGE. We all thought that Forbidden would be their last since well, not much happening on that front for so many years. It was also the return of Ozzy Osbourne who hadn't appeared on a studio album since 1978's Never Say Die! that came out long before I was even born.
So the hype was absolutely massive but it didn't really live up to it. It was weird to get a new Sabbath album with Ozzy but damn we wanted the final album to be a little more than this. Ozzy sounds surprisingly good on this album for being 148 years old. It sounds a bit like he is reading from a prompter while singing, there aren't that much power behind it but overall he sounds pretty good. Maybe it's studio tricks I don't know.
They made a music video for 'God is Dead' which is kinda cool
I rarely ever listen to this album because I kinda feel that I wanted more out of this final Black Sabbath album. The greatest band of all time should finish with a complete banger but that's life I guess.
It just feels overproduced and kinda weird, not as organic as the classic Ozzy albums obviously because they probably spent millions of dollars to get this to sound like it does but I don't know if it's for me.
