Overview
I have to admit, this was a bit of a tough listen. The Gods of Metal were most likely feeling a bit tired and out of ideas after an absolutely packed schedule over the previous years, but that is still no excuse for putting this album out. Despite there being MAYBE a couple of decent songs here, the album is seriously unimpressive and could of barely been B-sides to a single, let alone fill an album. I personally wouldn’t recommend this album, and I think even die-hard Sabbath fans would agree with me.

Recommended for the loyal Black Sabbath fans, and maybe not even for them.

Wow, honestly, what were they thinking here? If this was an attempt at being artsy or groundbreaking, it’s not working for me. Black Sabbath should have stuck to what they know. Apparently, this is supposedly two robots having sex on an escalator… (okay?). For me, it’s like a dumb art project on who can create the worst Doctor Who fight scene. From the Gods of Metal, I need HEAVY METAL, and this just isn’t it in my opinion.
