Overview
I have to admit, this was a bit of a tough listen. The Gods of Metal were most likely feeling tired and out of ideas after an absolutely packed schedule in previous years, but I’m not sure if that is a good enough excuse for putting out this album. Despite there being maybe a couple of decent songs, the record is seriously unimpressive and could have barely passed as B-sides to a single, let alone filled an album. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, and I think even die-hard Sabbath fans might 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. 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.
