[edit] Source for critical opinion

Terrorizer Magazine (#168, March 2008) says, "This titanic collision twixt Sabbath and Gillian was treated with outright derision on its release." Featured in a column called "Lost Classics and Follies 2," writer Jim Martin says the album "flirts with brilliance," praising Iommi's guitar, Geoff Nicholl's keyboards, and Gillian's "monumentally unhinged, go-for-broke" vocal performance. --Torchpratt (talk) 07:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

This seems more like a review than an article --70.112.113.123 17:04, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It's terrible. Rewrite, please.

[edit] Sound

Is this album radically different from Mob Rules? It's really difficult to find any Sab albums from the 80s/90s around my house. Dark Executioner 20:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner

Some say it's "muddier" but to me it's "darker" than the Dio-era albums. I'm in a definite minority of those who love the album.--MarshallStack 17:31, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It's basically very, very bassy; it sounds as if everything except Gillan is coming through cotton wool. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk)

What was the other Dio-era song the band did on this tour? I have a bootleg from 1983 in Worcester, Massachusetts and the only Dio-era song the band did was part of "Heaven and Hell" (segue from "Zero The Hero").--MarshallStack 17:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

"Neon Knights" was played as the opener for the last few dates of the North American tour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.97.197 (talk) 05:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
