I actually really enjoy this album. It's nothing mind blowing, or even above par entertainment, but it's a fair purchase. 70 from me.

Good album. I would give this a score of roughly around 80s. I didn't like the production much and that's what causes it to suffer. As far as the tracks go, I really cannot think of any bad track here. Shaking Off The Chains, I Won't Cry For You and Forbidden are the stand out tracks for me.

I Won't Cry For You is a great song.

It's an okay song and the only one of its kind on this shitty album. Really lame.

I agree with the Son of Lucifer. Worst BS album. Produced by a rapper. Negro please. Still some okish parts. But it's blah. I never liked Martin.

Our rating scale says "Try before buy" for 60-69. In the annals of Black Sabbath, I think that constitutes mediocre. You get way too hung up on scores.

My problem with this score is the typical... different reviewers, different comparative scores.

If all reviews were done by the same person, the scores will be more cohesive, but the reading far less interesting :) .

And this is the worst REAL BS album. I think 7th start is worst, but it was not planned to be a BS album.
