CD Reviews

Sabbath at it's best (I'm serious too)
ZaF | Lima, Peru | 10/28/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This compilation of songs covers the best Sabbath era IMO. Tony Martin is much better singer than Ozzy and the songs are better written than Sabbath's early material. The sound is different than the early years also. Sabbath moved from a kind of "classic doom metal" sound to the classic heavy metal sound of the 80's, much in the vein of Iron maiden or Judas Prest. So if you like those bands or classic heavy metal, don't miss this compilation which features great singers (all way much better than Ozzy in my view) such as Tony Martin, Ronnie James Dio, Glenn Hughes and Ian Gillan."
Great Collection

"What more can be said about Sabbath? This is a collection of material from the Tony Martin years, some of the most underrated material Sabbath ever did. If you are under budget restaints and can't purchase Idol/Cross/Tyr/Purposes/Forbidden then this disc will get you a good idea of what the original discs are about. Don't sell Tony Martin short he is quite probably one of the best singers of Sabbath material out there. I've seen many shows and have many live discs with Martin on vocals and he does a fantastic job with not only his material, but Ozzy,Dio, and Hughes material as well - he's no prima donna, he sings it all and does it very well."
