Cant say I hear any similarities in those two albums the metallica disc is an over produced sell out while dehumanizer is dark and raw sounding.

If I was looking for a commercial sabbath album itd be never say die or seventh star

There are a few good tracks on metallicas fifth album but the direction from justice to the black album seemed a bit like abandoning their past for an mtv friendly sound

On this subject , it's interesting to hear that some Metallica fans think that Black album was sellout because to me as a casual listener and not a fan of Metallica's music , it's still way too heavy to be commercial . Except for the tracks released as singles ( that are still very heavy by most standards ) that album is not very mainstream - accessible to my ears . You folks must want it [u]very[/u] heavy if you see that album as a sellout .

I like the song but I would much rather have had Ronnie James singing it, Ozzy bless him still has something left, but i'm not sure what it is lol.

Woah, I just imagined how it would have sounded with Dio's voice.... :gas:

After reading some of my pals comments on Facebook I had fairly low expectations for this, but liked it - not a patch on their early stuff, but a good solid track, keeping with the Metallica analogy I can see this album being their Death Magnetic - a decent album with some good songs but nothing you'd call a classic.

Lovely bass sound though, I assume it's Lakland / Hartke

I think Geezer used a selection of vintage Fenders for this album , but no doubt he will be using his Laklands on the road .

Better quality version without the radio announcements:

Shame you can get it via iTunes at the moment.

Anybody know what bass Geezer is playing on the new album? Sounds like a growly Precision pickup.

On the Youtube footage of Geezer in the studio recording this album he has got a selection of several vintage Fender Precisions and Jazz Basses to choose from . Sounds very much like a P Bass on this track to me .

Just had a proper listen. I liked it, excellent mix and it's always a joy to hear Geezer properly ripping. Strange song to release first maybe, it's a very slow burner. Bu despite all this, I can't help feeling it sounds more like an Ozzy solo track than real Sabbath. Or more accurately, Sabbath trying to sound like what people expect them to. Make sense? Thought not... :rolleyes: I'll still buy the album though.

Yeah , that's nice , but like I mentioned earlier , I've got a bit of Tony Iommi's Ford Cortina at home ( Tony gave me it when I was twelve years old ) . Cortina wins every time .

I wouldn't think it so, but it sounds like an Ibby 5 string.

Personally, I feel as if Sabbath have been copying themselves since the second album. (The first album is a masterpiece). Now, they're older and trying to add a little modern sensibility to their sound and it's just boring to me.
