Album Rating: 1.5

congrats on finishing



but this isn't nearly as bad as Born Again

i didn't know you could give a rating lower than 1.huh

Album Rating: 3.5

This album grows on you. It's pretty good actually. Think of Sabbath as a different band at this point and then try listening to it.

This review is fake. There's not one comment that actually pertains to the actual album.

Also, Ice-T doesn't rap on "Illusion of Power" and there are no hip-hop elements. Ice-T is also the frontman of the metal band Body Count, remember?

Album Rating: 1.0

^this is quite probably the least serious I've ever taken a review, it's really more of a rant than anything else, that's what you get from going through an increasingly stale discography. I'm not going to defend anything; your neg is deserved.

Holy S**t, I didn't even know you could give a rating like that......0.5.....whoa, you gotta really suck to get that, what was Iommi thinking

What about a "The Devil You Know" review?

Laughably bad lyrics. It's the worst part of the album.

See ''Can't Get Close Enough'' for examples.

Album Rating: 1.0

Couple of guilty pleasures but that's about it. Well written.

lol this album

It makes me laugh so much.
It makes me cry so much.

What a waste of time.

Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off

Worst Sabbath?

Best thing about it is the artwork. Hopefully the new album will let them end on a high note.

0.5 rating? Am I that new to Sputnik or am I seeing things.

you can give it as the review's rating but not as a personal rating

Oh! I have never written a single review so I wouldn't know that. Man would I love to rate some albums as 0.5 or even less!

Album Rating: 1.5

Sabbath's worst album, unfortunately it is that bad.

Musically speaking it doesn't deserve a 1, it is more likely a 1.5 or a 2. But once I heard a rapper's voice in the first track and Martin's rapping-singing style it hurt me beyond words.

Still waiting for the new album they promised last year.
Will prob wait for ever.

This album should be forbidden for listen.

Album Rating: 1.5

Rap can be excellent music... but WTH did you tried to do on Illusion of Power?!!!! (love the riff of that song thou')

Album Rating: 2.0

I'm going to be honest here, this album IS just as bad as the majority make it out to be. For one thing, Martin's vocals, which I've never really admired, rarely manage to bring any song out of complete and utter boredom, proving themselves to sound rather weak. The most interesting and best thing about this album is definitely Iommi's guitar work, but that's not saying much, since in my opinion, Sabbath have always been musically charged by his input into the sound. 'The Illusion of Power' makes for a really pitiful opener, and most of the other songs suffer in the same way from uninspired songwriting and half-baked musicianship (apart from Iommi), but there are two songs that grabbed my attention and even made me call them 'decent': 'Get a grip', which for the most part is very simplistic but is pretty solid, and closer 'kiss of death', which somehow reminds me of 'Lonely is the word' because of its melancholic touches and nice balladry. In all honesty these two songs and guitar work is why I've given this album a 2 and not a worse rating. Let's hope the new BS album with ozzy will at least improve upon the quality of this one then.
