I love this album; it was my first experience with Black Sabbath's legacy and it introduced me to the origins of the heaviest kind of rock. This is a sincere homage full of passion and spontaneity; some of the best '90s bands of this style, like Sepultura and Faith No More, help their audience to know about their influences in a very creative way, putting new life into classics like 'Symptom of the universe' or 'War pigs'. Don't miss your chance to enjoy an entertaining ride and compare it with the original one to appreciate the work of Biohazard in 'After forever' or White Zombie in 'Children of the grave', for example.

If you like sabbath, and you like the other bands, you really should pick up this one. Now THIS is what a tribute should really be like. Without a doubt, the best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands that ever existed have put together a tribute to the one that started it all.

In fact, no offense to anyone, but some of the stuff is even BETTER than Black Sabbath's originals!! Click 'Buy', you won't regret it.

Being a major Black Sabbath fan, I thought this album would be a good way to hear all those great classic songs in a new light. Sort of like a hamburger lover going to Burger King instead of the same old Mcdonalds in order to get something familiar done in a slightly different way. Instead, I had the opportunity to learn all about the futility of the tribute album. What's the point? It's all fine and good for these bands to express their love for one of their early influences and promote themselves all at the same time, but please don't do it at my expense. The current popularity of the tribute album reminds me of the "unplugged" fad of the early '90s. Making it all acoustic just for a different sound (and to prove that you know how to play, as though anyone cares)... The best that can be said is that all of these bands bring something of value to the songs and I was able to listen to this one about two or three times before it wore thin, which is better than none. Yes, people like Ozzy and Bill Ward play on some tracks but what does that matter? I suppose it could make some decent background music for a noisy get together of metalheads but beyond that, stick to the originals. This is the album that taught me never to buy a tribute album again. Paying extra for an import just adds injury to insult.
