Topic: My thoughts on 13

FINALLY bought the 13 CD from Black Sabbath.  Opinion? ITS DEFINATLY SABBATH!!! Do I hear muical touch backs to classics, you bet.  Here is my take on it and No I have not gone surfing to see what others have said.

1. End of the beginning  / Black Sabbath
2. God is Dead? / Nothing standing out for me. Pretty new sounding.
3. Loner / N.I.B
4. Zeitgeist / Planet Carivan
5. Age of reason / musically reminds me  more of Dio era Songs.
6. Live forever / reminds me of Dehumanizer stuff (again w/ Dio)
7. Damaged Soul / Just good doomy blues with early harmonica touches
8. Dear Father / Hmmmmm?? not sure what to think.

Overall, eight tracks for 10 bucks not bad price wise. Tracks 1,3,4 are my favorite as they pull from such great songs. Was hoping for a few more tracks though being as they have so much room on a cd.

I haven't sat down to give it a listen yet. I saw the episode of CSI that Sabbath was on with "End of the Beginning". I thought it was ok.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that those guys are still playing is a miracle in and of itself.   I saw them back in the lat '90s on the original reunion tour.  They were awesome, for a bunch of old guys.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Z that CSI segment was so lame!! bunch of paid models and wannabe's  they should have let some real SABBATH fans in there.  "OOh Im gonna pretend to get off on this with my diamonds and pearls on!" ohhh yea Im a rocker...  BLAAAAAAH GAG CHOKE!   You should see the comments on yYT for that segment.  You can tell the band was not even into it that much.

@ Jerome We can only dream of a career that they have had.  One nice note in the liners form Ozzy to Jack.  For being the man I wish I could have been.  I though that was pretty touching.

I agree it was cheezy. That's what happens with bit parts on TV. But I'm sure it exposed more people into Sabbath. If a spot on tv opens someone's eyes to a great REAL band then I say go for it.

It's amazing that Ozzy can still perform. He's lost most of his marbles. If you watched The Osbournes when it was on, you'll know what I mean. I don't know how that guy can function on a daily basis. But when he is on stage he is completely with it.
