A terribly underrated album.
Admittedly it's not archetypal Sabbath & is somewhat experimental but still a very rewarding listen nonetheless.
Some brilliant individual songs like Juniors Eyes, Never Say Die, Hard Road & Air Dance, although i concede that the album is a bit uneven when taken as a whole.
There's also a horn section on a couple of songs which strongly divides opinion, (just ask Nightsblood, it still annoys him ), but personally i think it works rather well, adding a bit of extra colour to the Sabbath pallette.
Over the years it's actually become one of my favourite Sabbath records, and i wish they'd play the title track live, it would make a great upbeat addition to the set.

My only problem with it is Don Airey overdoing it on "Over to You" & "Air Dance." Otherwise it's a fine atypical Sabs album. I prefer it to Technical Ecstasy overall. I used to dismiss "Hard Road" as Black Quo, but now I find it very uplifting.

This one's my fave from the album today:

Non-gatefold issue.

STEEL ASSASSIN: War of the Eight Saints

Wow, quite good. I love the '84 demo but their "recent" outputs are great as well.
