>>127269156 (OP) It is mediocre, and Rubin's soulless production and brickwalling hinders it, but I still wish we would have gotten at least another couple of records, preferably with Bill Ward back behind the kit instead of the drummer from rap-rock's favorite homos, Rage for the Machine.
>>127269156 (OP) It starts strong and ends strong, but some of the middle tracks are meh

had this been the album I think it would've been decent, but only better than Technical Ecstasy but yeah, that's Rick Rubin for you

>>127269399 the couch tzar, aka rick rubin, just locked them in a room and played them their first record, telling them that this was what they had to go back to. the end result is basically a glorified covers record.
This fucking thing should not exist. >>127269372 It took Ozzy being off his pain meds and dying for her to make some semblence of peace (even though I doubt the peace will be permanent knowing her) with Bill Ward, Billy Corgan and Jake E. Lee. But that was it. Those are the only three she allowed into BTTB.

>>127269622 Rodger Bain was great for the first three. But I guess they outgrew him and he outgrew them. Those first three was the cocaine-free innocence. Cocaine, Alcohol and Sharon were the three worst influences on Ozzys life.

Hand of Doom feels kinda awkward and aimless

I don't like Ozzy's or Dio's vocals on 13 and TDYK. They were tolerable live at the time too so idk what the deal was
