His drumming style has never been preoccupied with complex rhythms or unnecessary fills, instead focusing on simply feeling the groove and using his beats to compliment the centerpiece of every song - Tony Iommi's guitar work.ДЄs for the Ozzman himself, his vocal performance remains reliably untampered with. Bill Ward's current musical proxy, Brad Wilk, also proves to be a suitable fit for the band. Musically speaking, Tony Iommi hasn't lost his knack for finding the right notes and chords that will send chills down the listener's spine (the dramatic intro in 'End Of The Beginning' comes directly to mind), and Geezer Butler still proves himself to be an unrivaled wordsmith when it comes to conjuring up tales of depression and the macabre. Much like 'Into The Void' and 'Lord Of This World' emphasized on a riff-driven sound coated in thick distortion, as well as projecting a hauntingly dismal atmosphere throughout, 'End Of The Beginning' and 'Age Of Reason' aspire to replicate that same equilibrium of power and ambience. The slowed down and low-tuned guitar work of Tony Iommi in tracks like 'End Of The Beginning' and 'Age Of Reason', certainly signals a return to the doom-inspired sound that Black Sabbath skillfully honed back in the '70s- and because of that, they're easily two of the most accessible tracks in the album. Both its musical style, as well as the structural aesthetics of each composition, all nod to a sound that was originally fabricated in 1971's Master Of Reality. And for the first time in years, Black Sabbath have constructed an album that not only overcomes negative preconceptions, but actually manages to radiate a modest sense of infectiousness while doing so. Nevertheless, it exhibits a great deal of confidence and staying power from a band that had been tarnishing their reputation with every new release. Every clever scheme in 13 feels like an attempt to recapture some previously successful concept or execution. It is by no means a remarkable body of work though, especially in comparison to most of Black Sabbath's discography. Now, with all of that being said, and Bill Ward still being the missing piece that would have made this long-awaited reunion complete, 13 surprisingly culminated into the victory that Black Sabbath has desperately needed all these years. In fact, the one and only album associated with the Black Sabbath name that has found any acclaim in recent years is The Devil You Know, which was a spin-off effort by Heaven & Hell (the adopted pseudonym of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Vinny Appice, and Ronnie James Dio). Ozzy Osbourne's solo career has also followed an increasingly erratic path since the early 1980s, and it's come to the point where the man once revered as 'the prince of darkness,' is now viewed as nothing more than comic relief to the rest of the world. Even after that one moment of triumph, as well as the occasional hit such as 1981's Mob Rules and 1992's Dehumanizer, Black Sabbath have struggled to remain relevant through the various trends that heavy metal has undergone in the past three decades. It wasn't until their phenomenal resurrection in 1980's Heaven and Hell that, with the recruitment of legendary frontman Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath regained a confidence that had all but withered away. After the release of 1975's Sabotage, an album that fans and critics alike agree to be their last notable effort of the '70s, Black Sabbath went from being heavy metal visionaries to a group of 'has-beens' plagued by drug addictions and a growing disinterest in building upon the genre they (arguably) laid the foundations for. Although I myself have long desired to witness the original '70s lineup return for at least one more studio album, the increasingly lackluster quality of their individual efforts in recent years had led me to believe that such an event would perhaps be more devastating than momentous. To witness Ozzy Osbourne finally return to his rightful place as the voice of Black Sabbath, has been one of the most highly anticipated events within the rock and metal communities. Review Summary: 3/4 of the classic '70s line-up reunite for a relatively successful comeback.Дespite being an avid fan of Black Sabbath for many years, I can admittedly confess that my intrigue for 13 was initially tepid at best.
