Black Sabbath, 13. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

At one point, you can almost catch yourself thinking, and with the greatest of respect to the legend and dearly missed Ronni James Dio, why oh why did Black Sabbath ever fracture and tear themselves apart? The answer quickly springs to mind and you are left lamenting what could have been during that period but like all good tales of good and evil, of heroes and villains, the Black Sabbath story is not finished yet as their stunning new album 13 will attest.

L.S. Media Rating *****

The spectre of Brit-Pop was fully behind them and 13 showed that new level of maturity had come to fruition.
