5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the last...., December 20, 1998

I simply cannot believe the negative reviews of this album by many of my fellow Sabbath "fans"... This album was a landmark in the way of production when it came out and it also blows away "Never Say Die", which I also thought was an excellent album. "Dirty Women" was obviously the standout track...I mean just listen to the end of the song where the guys just ROCK OUT. It moves my soul. I remember going to this concert live and they played "She's Gone" over the P.A. before and

after the concert. "I've been, a long long time...a waitin' for you". Makes my skin crawl even now. What an incredibly beautiful song. Ozzy never got closer to purity than on stuff like this. "Back Street Kids" is good too, but "All Moving Parts Stand Still" is a really good and well thought out track. Definitely not Paranoid or Master of Reality material, but the well-versed Sabbath fan pays homage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sabbath in transition, January 7, 2003

This is a transition album for Black Sabbath, between the brilliant album Sabotage and the more mainstream metal album Never Say Die (which is a great album too). Ozzy's lyrics take negativity to a personal level more so in this album, and you sense that he was having major personal issues in 1976. There are some great songs on this album, but like I said, if you are a positive thinker you won't appreciate this album. The funniest part about this album is the pairing up of two songs next to each other She's Gone, and Dirty Women. As in..."my fiancee left me, so I'm gonna get a street girl tonight". Funny!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album with a few weak songs, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Technical Ecstasy (Audio CD)

One of the most underrated Sabbath albums as the band moves more into blues. The Guitar Solo on "You cant change me" is Tony Iommi at his best. "Its alright" shows Bill Ward at vocals and makes you wonder why they didnt use him ounce Ozzy left the band. The album is weakened though by a few week songs such as "Rock n Roll doctor" and all moving part stand still.
