So what do you guys think of the new Sabbath single? I gotta say I like it. A bit uneventful perhaps but the riffage is cool. I just wish the up-tempo riff that kicks in at 6:23 would've been more prominent in the song.
Indeed it does and lovely it isI just wish Ozzy's voice could loose 40 years in a stroke of magic. His youthful nasality is what made the early Sabbath material so fucking good. That and the masterful riffs and groove of corpse :Smokedev:

Personally I though Forbidden had some awesome tunes, like Rusty Angels and Can't Get Close Enough. The same goes for the H&H album. Not great albums by any means though.
oh and the best Sabbath is the DIO Sabbath.

oh and the best Sabbath is the DIO Sabbath. i don't care about fighting but Heaven & Hell is best Sabbath album released. Ozzy cannot hold Dio's chalice. Fuck Sharon.

well Ozzy really should be put out of his misery at this point, watching him is like seeing one of those animal abuse commericals with Sarah McLaughlin playing in the background.

The Dio era is definitely my favorite, but best...man, that's hard to say. Both eras were (and still are, really) hugely influential.
Influence aside, nobody can question or undermine the influence of the original Sabbath, the Dio-era of the band was, IMO, a HUGE step forward in musicality...having a 4th member who could play an instrument, arrange & write lyrics as opposed to a singer who did nothing but sing what was written for him.
