BORN AGAIN

Just a few words for this album! I have to agree with the previous review that Born Again is a real jewel of the eighties. Ian Gillan probably provides the best vocal performance since his Made In Japan days with an impressive vocal range and interpretation! As for the songs we have two classics-one is disturbing the priest and the second one is zero the hero(play the riff of zero the hero some bits faster and you have Metallica's Enter Sandman-Black Sabbath were their heroes...). Close enough comes thrashed and of course born again which for me is another sabbath classic,anyway... As for the production, to my ears this is one of the heaviest, in terms for heavy metal music, an example of doom atmosphere and raw power! I am sorry if I'll seem heretic to those who believe that this is just a collectors item but I believe this is a four and a half album...
