My favorite album after Undertow! Tool are a certainty.

Metallica are a band that since '91 has released roughly 3 studio albums. They speak for themselves. The sad thing is that many still believe in these guys and await their new release with excitement. Open your eyes and realize that they've been washed up for nearly twenty years. I definitively stopped hoping with St. Anger, the piece of crap album of the century that I even bought original.

Great paolo68, nice review, I like what you said about Mama, nothing to add.
Rock on

Phenomenal album, the best of the 80s. Classics like the title track, Land of Confusion, the beautiful Domino... My goodness, great Phil as usual.
I would be curious to know what the reviewer thinks of Peter Gabriel's solo career since he is yet another anti-Phil Collins. But then what do you think, that Rutherford and Banks were just puppets and he had the reins of everything?? In any case, I love Genesis from the 80s death and always will.

One day you'll explain to me which Queen songs you've heard to say that "it's all right" has something to do with "good old fashioned loverboy" and "lazing on a sunday afternoon." There are many you hear, but this one is truly rare, compliments, you're charming, dear. Returning to the album, it's one of the first I had from the Sabbath, a great record to which I'm very attached, also for personal reasons. P.S. IT'S NOT A POP ROCK ALBUM.

@Saputello: Ah ah ah ah Great rock on!

Dear, is this album the first of Black Sabbath Heavy Metal? Can you explain what you mean by Heavy Metal? I think you might not have a clear understanding of the concept. Heavy Metal is a concept that, like Rock, evolves over the years; therefore, it doesn't have fixed, stable parameters (of course, there are clichés, but that's another story). Heavy Metal originates from blues hard rock and has gradually taken on its own shape over time... It's a long discussion to have, but bands like Sabbath, Priest, and Deep Purple, and even some heavy tracks by Queen, have been referred to as Heavy Metal. Back then, it was a very different concept from our current understanding, obviously :-). Be careful with these discussions, or one day we'll say that Iron Maiden was a Hard Rock band. Be cautious. Sabbath is Heavy Metal in its primordial incarnation, tied to blues and hard rock. I understand what you say because it might seem somewhat obscure, reductive according to today's standards, to talk about Heavy Metal for the Sabbath. But it's the most correct way to consider them because that's how they were seen back then! Of course, it's clear that it's a Heavy Metal that is very different from what it is today! Rock on!

@ know-it-all: Well, from what you wrote, it seemed like you were downplaying the Guns a bit, nothing personal, right? Rock on!

Do you know what the funniest thing is? That the biggest nonsense has come only from you. The guns had nothing to say? Works like U.Y.I. I and II. Besides, the albums following Appetite were just the two I've mentioned. And if we want to consider The Spaghetti.. an album by the guns, we're all set, my friend.
