Blank channeling Roxy up in this bitch.

I'm sure everyone here hates Born Again just like anywhere else but I don't even care cuz that album is tight

It sounds a lot not like a Black Sabbath album, I'll give it that. If that's where the hate stems from then like, I dunno, whatever. It's pretty solid hard metal with some out of control standout moments and some more whack-ish generic hard metal moments. But "Disturbing the Priest" and "Zero the Hero" are some great moments of dark Sabbathian metal and Ian Gillan rules wherever he is.

tbh it's the only non Ozzy non Dio Sabbath album I've heard. I kinda don't wanna check out any others.

I seem to remember some of their stuff with Tony Martin being alright. Nothing fantastic, but I think The Headless Cross may have been pretty solid.

Yeah, listening to it again it definitely doesn't sound bad at all. Like they backpedaled after Born Again and tried recreating the Dio-era sound, but with a bit of a... Whitesnake vibe I guess. The singer definitely sounds about halfway between RJD and David Coverdale from Whitesnake. It's a more dated sound, that is more keyboard and less guitar-centric, but still solid. Don't remember how good the rest of the album is though.

Oh ****. That's also a pretty sweet song, with some better riffing too. Still not their best work but I'm gonna have to rediscover this album now.

Totally underrated album. Also Gillan was the only non Ozzy singer who could pull off the 70s classics.

Respect.

I bought that album (through the old Columbia House music club lmfao) when it came out and was stoked because I was a fan of Gillan in Deep Purple, still a favorite today. Trashed, Zero the Hero, Digital Bitch...great stuff on there.

I've got the original BS 1 thru Mob Rules albums, but they're at my brothers place. I'd love to hear those mono recordings.
