Black Sabbath: New Album (Rick Rubin)

[CubanDude]

You must respect Rick Rubin for having quite possibly the best job in the world... laying around, giving random advice and making a shitlot of money..

The drums sound really out of place, but the song itself doesn't sound bad. I had no doubts that the riffs would be good, it is Iommi after all.

The drums sound exactly as I expect them to given the throwback vibe they seem to be going for. Not saying I could not go for a more upfront drum sound, but only that given the vibe they seem to have hinted at the drums fit.

At least to me - but we all know about opinions

Holy crap did I just hear 20 seconds of new Sabbath material with Ozzy singing?? I just had a chill-down-my-spine boner. I don't give a crap about Rubin, Fidelman or anything, this sounds awesome. Bass sounds super modern compared to Geezer's "classic" tone, but it's still Geezer so I'm happy. Can't wait for this album.

Same here, wasn't expecting much but it made me shiver!

Sort of the same reaction I'm having - can't you just see where that song goes even from those 20 seconds? I can just keep humming along even though I have no idea how that riff resolves, it's really an unknown but oh so familiar at the same time.

Couldn't have said it better myself. PSYCHED.

That mix sounds more like Deaf Magnetic than Sabbath

I was hoping for roomier drums. Sounds dry as a granny cunt. I don't mind it being raw, but I hate the dryness of it.

Just about spit coffee across my desk with that one. Well played.

 

[LeSedna]

The teaser clip sounds groovy.

 

[DanLights]

Guys, it's not gonna sound like 1971 because well, unfortunately for some, it stopped being 1971 42 years ago. Enjoy the albums that came out at that time as we all do, but face up to the fact there will be no more albums from that time, this is as close as we'll ever get I think.

Edit:LOL at the yoghurt post hahaha

I don't give a crap about Rubin, Fidelman or anything, this sounds awesome.

I hope it survives through the mastering... If they ruin this album with a -5db RMS master I might be sad

only on this forum would a youtube clip with less than 30s of audio spawn so much criticism of the production

i do agree that the drums sound pretty underwhelming though. burny said it right - NEEDS MOAR ROOM!! this may not be 1971 but it aint fucking system of a down either.

It might as well be Rage Against the Machine for that matter

 

[Deuteronomy]

Rick Rubin is not what frightens me more, it's the possibility of Greg Fidelman tracking it what does.

Totally Agree on this one.
Judging from works like DM and Slayer,there's no reason to work with him i f you want quality.But this is business,and business doesn't necessary mean quality..

 

[Sweetnothing]

I was hoping for a less polished sound, then again, it's ozzy singing and well...30 seconds long
