I cannot believe Born Again gets a higher score than this one. Sure, it's Sabbath's worst with Ozzy but, c'mon, it's a not that bad!

55/100 for me.

You are WAY too hard on Born Again. Its a decent album. Never Say Die!, on the other hand, is...unfortunate.

It's that bad, imo... but Born again it's that bad too.
50 both for me.

The title track is better than the whole Born Again album.

WOW! Thought this one would get a higher score! Aside from the last two tracks, this album has it's moments. I think Ozzy even took what he did on this album and applied some of the influences on his solo stuff.

Hey, Born Again is quality. However, this is not.

This sounds too much like Ozzy's solo stuff, but nowhere near as good. But the song Hard Road is pretty cool.

I agree - the songwriting is quite strong, especially on Johnny Blade and the closing riff on Swinging the Chain. I think its biggest problem is the 70s sci-fi production.
