NEVER SAY DIE!

A better effort than the previous release from Sabbath, some of the bite returned with this release. This was Ozzie's last studio effort with the band and I recall thinking to myself that I was done with the band at the time - I couldn't imagine Sabbath without Ozzie. Substance and alcohol abuse had finally claimed its victim and the demise of Sabbath Mk 1 was the result after a bit of an illness in the music starting with TE. As with the previous release - had this come from any other band new to the scene at the time it would have scored better with the Sabbath fans of old however it was a let down to the Sabbath loving public who loved the first albums up until the point of "Technical Ecstacy". My favorite track from the album is probably "Juniors Eyes". A release that all main stream rock lovers should perhaps get their hands on but for those who love their music beyond the normal hard rock sphere of things I would recommend a miss is in order. A three star rating from me as although this is not the Sabbath that I wanted to know this isn't a bad album by any means.
