Don't really understand all the "negativity" towards this album. Sure, it's a different kind of album than like say the first four, but the songs are still astonishing (with a strong Sabbath/stoner vibe to it). Altough not perfect, the cold and almost grim atmosphere lifts the album out of the sea of mediocrity and "dumb" Sabbath worshipping into something far more interesting and worth-while.
