For years I heard such negative things from people I respected about this album I never bothered to pursue it. In 1989 I met the best guitarist I ever jammed with and he lent me this one (this is the same guy who had never heard Evil Woman and I had never heard Wicked World because they are on two different versions of the first album).Never Say Die
I swear the 5 dollar bin is responsible for me getting a Black Sabbath mini collection going but this album was a pleasant surprise from one who only knows them for their sludgy, doomy stuff. Really like this track:
Air Dance
And I was also shocked to hear a Jazz instrumental:
Breakout
And lyricists for that matter.He really is one of rock's greatest bass players
