Living Just For Dying, Dying Just For YouDecember 3, 2008 J. Thomas "You see right through distorted eyes, you know you have to learn. The execution of your mind, you really have to turn. The race is run the moon is red, the end begins to show. The truth is out, the lies are old but you don't want know. Nobody will ever let you know, when you ask the reasons why, they just tell you that your on your own, fill your head all full of lies. You bastards!" These are the first few lines of the song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" which is killer wicked. Every song is good even "Fluff" which mellows me out fine after the disturbing " A National Acrobat" with it's slow drone with lyrics like "I've lived a thousand times, I've found out what it means to be believed. The thoughts and images, the unborn child that never was conceived." Woe I saw Sabbath live in Baltimore during the "Technical Ecstasy" tour and it was like walking into a dark psychodelic trip. SBS is the fourth Sabbath album and has a slicker sound than the previous three but I rate them all at 5 stars. SBS's excellent album cover art depicts a man suffering demon possession with the exercised aftermath on the back. The album is the same way, dark and forebodding in some parts and hopeful and soothing in others. Buy it.
Picture discJune 26, 2008 Vladlen Ionov(Moscow, Russia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just would make a note for other customers that this item in fact - picture disc. It's a toy for hardcore Black Sabbath collectors and good looking if framed and you will hang up it on a wall in your room. But it hardly listenable.
