Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Great album! If it wasn't Sabbath, definitely 5 stars. For Sabbath's catalogue, just 4. But The Shining makes it 4.5 though😁😁
This repress is fantastic, the sound quality is superb and there's none of that irritating background noise.
Kicking off an album series with their fresh vocalist Tony Martin, this marks a new beginning for the band. They collaborated for years, resulting in five albums together. "Eternal Idol" doesn't quite pack the dark punch of the upcoming "Headless Cross." The sound here is more balanced, modernized, aiming to appeal to a wider audience. Back then, Tony Martin was still finding his footing, so you can hear him experimenting with his vocals, drawing from singers like Ronnie James Dio, Klaus Meine, or Bruce Dickinson. Released in 1987, this album mirrors the sound of rock bands like Scorpions and Bon Jovi who were dominating the charts. It's a Black Sabbath take on that commercial rock vibe, with a darker edge.
At last, the album that was absent from the anno domini boxset is back on vinyl. The sound quality is fantastic, and it's a superb LP.
The hype sticker mentions it's remastered from analog tapes, but the album jacket says it's a digital recording. Regardless, it's a great listen. No regrets about adding this to my collection.
