This is truly Black Sabbath at their worst. Ronnie James is a horrible singer. He also has an ego that really got in the way during his years with Sabbath, ultimately leading to his being dismissed. "Look at me, I'm the new Ozzy!" "I'm the god of heavy metal, worship me!" Gimme a break, Ronnie. The lyrics to some of these songs here(written by RJD)are so juvinile, so pathetic, you would think a fourteen year old child on his first acid trip wrote them. Sure, Tony's guitar playing shines as usual, but it doesn't rescue this awful album from the infestation of that rat Dio. Not recommended.
