I own the vinyl edition and fortunately, the two only good songs on the first page: 'Bible Black' and 'Atom And Evil' are really brilliant, bold steaming Doom songs that make a preview recommended. But the rest of the plate ripples pretty uninspired and ponderous to himself. More upbeat songs that reach the Class of 'The Young' or 'Mob Rules', is not found. That is, when "The Devil You Know" finds its way onto the turntable, then always the first page.
What remains is the chic packaging operations; especially in vinyl format, the cover looks impressive and frightening and the solution with the blank fourth side (with a nice etched pattern) is quite original. All in all, "13" the better BLACK SABBATH plate.
