OFF: Screams and things

[John A Swartz]

>And some truly dull music!

What, that album, or Black Sabbath in general?  One can argue how much
good stuff Sabbath has written since they parted ways with Dio (or Ozzy),
but there's no denying their influence on numerous bands, not to
mention heavy metal in general.

As for "Born Again", I think it has some cool tunes.  Besides Gillan's
screaming on "Disturbing the Priest", the guitar riff is very cool and
very spooky.  Some of the other songs seem a bit one-dimensional, but
good 'ed-bangin' tunes nonetheless.

As far as "Born Again" being available on CD, it was remastered recently
along with most of Sabbath's other albums, and you may be able to find
it at a decent price in a local record store.
