There's a new Black Sabbath song

metal-by-numbers effort featuring Ozzy's typically atrocious pop music vocal processing.  everybody knows Iommi is capable of endlessly generating riffs but this song is a fucking charade.

[scourge]

That was my impression of Psycho Man and Selling My Soul. Stock heavy metal straight from the manufacturer oozing with Ozzy's handicapped attempt at melodrama.

[Cynical]

Wow, that's goddamn boring.

Better than expected, though, I have to admit.

[Wild]

Rick Rubin production: If it's loud, it's not loud enough!

One of the best metal analysis from Brett in years.  A lot relevant and interesting topics are touched on.  Bravo.

I actually enjoyed this a bit more than the endless stomp-a-long drone of the last Dio Sabbath album. Still nothing I'd probably spend money on, unless the other songs are a bit more complex. The longer run times had me hoping that they would build on the progressive rock heavy metal fusion of Vol. 4 through Sabotage (my personal favorite Sabbath albums), but if this song is any indication, they're just doing long songs for the sake of being long.

[Humanicide]

It's not that bad. As Cynical stated, it's dull; I think it's because it just repeats itself too much.

A lot better than I would've thought. Riffs are pretty cool towards the end, Ozzy doesn't sound like complete crap, the drum patterns are interesting...hopefully the rest of the album will aspire towards more complex structures.
