5 stars 1. Trashed... be careful, an underrated but underestimated album, Geezer and Bill who provide a killer bass, Tony who goes for his electrified solo and Ian yes Ian who tries his hand at adventure with this unique group 2. Stonehenge yes there was E5-150, yes Stonehenge is also there to flirt with prog for a short moment, but what a short magnificent moment opening for 3. Disturbing the Priest its dreamlike air, this fat and heavy sound, seeming out of tune; once again the heavy bass imposes it, to the point that I prefer this BS to the previous ones with Ozzy's voice, a voice that I prefer in his lonely productions; in short, barely a minute and a gentle, calm break, I'm laughing... calmed down before returning to the unhealthy hard riff, beauty has a price; it rolls from the body, the bass behind which doesn't leave you alone and this verse again almost rock, hard rock all the same; Ian puts on his mentor voice and delivers the killing blow; hard like that, with a progressive essence, I want more 4. The Dark dark intro, a 2nd just to throw confusion on this album with new blood; a sound that comes from far away and brings 5. Zero the Hero with its relentless riff; long and slow rise with a guitar as spleen as can be desired, a grandiloquent, majestic tune, the bass in double pedal which sets the fire; the chorus is also aggressive, like an assault machine gun; this immense bass sound, this tangy guitar solo which floods the track, the room; 1 minute from the end some drums start and accompany the last tortured solo, masterpiece 6. Digital Bitch for the radio edit title, yes the one that can set the stage on fire, simple but effective; quick and easy access to attacked neurons; holy female dog 7. Born Again for the eponymous title which gives a calm and heavy riff, like a heavy machine gun which is supposed to avoid the incursion of the enemy through our ears... it's good nothing will get through; well let's talk a little Tony: his touch is unique, everyone knows it but his incisive, acute, acid solos leave the desert behind him; in short the album's dark slow melody and a sinisterly beautiful reverberant sound; one of the most beautiful hard spleen titles 8. Hot Line for the electrified piece, yes remember that hard could only be that on an album; I don't pass blood there, well not the one I'm looking for 9. Keep It Warm for a facsimile, heavy hard to stay warm until the end of the album, almost melodic piece with always killer rhythm; the solo like a cherry on the cake. This is why this album is worth a lot in their discography!
