I am absolutely devastated and saddened by these facts ... cancer is a difficult disease .. I will pray for Tony ... for your your fight against the disease ... your fans want you to remain here ...
This is the only non Ozzy album that I listened to. It is a great record. Ian Gillan fit the dark sound of the album. They make fun of the cover but I think it is excellent.
i believe that both iommi and gillan later regretted this collaboration but the odd mismatch produced soething genius in this track. it is quite unique and a one off. would never have lasted though on further songs
I had hoped at the time, that Ian would stay on w/Sabbath. His vocal style, despite being totally different from Ozzy or Dio's fit spectacularly well. (as this song in particular proves!) The only truly shameful thing about this album..? is that there aren't more like it!
Pure fuckin metal!!!The sound of that era!!I waz in gradeschool whn I got ths album!!Still have to ths day in my pops record collection at his penthouse in long beach so.ca!!Great fuckin album!!
I STILL can't quite figure how some ardent Sabbath fans can't quite get by this one....some of the detestable comments I've heard levelled at this album almost defies logic. OK, so it ain't Ozzy or Dio singing....it's Ian Freakin' Gillan!!! One needn't question the virtues of THAT! And Iommi....Jesus....EVERYTHING that man churns out of his amps just reeks of pure metal genius....Geezer's inventive bass lines and sounds...and the last studio album to feature Bill Ward. 'Nuff said.
@EmperorAlgus I guess it can be interpreted in whatever way you see fit....my own take on it is the total play on the term 'born again...' in a subtle, but snide way, you can almost get a sense that the lyrics beg for just what that MEANS....there's no right or wrong way to be BORN, but to be born AGAIN...there's a method? I think the "...challenge aimed at the hearts of the mutant gods who think we're all the same" references to questioning those ministers who implore us to be born again
@TheSetibevol88 ...just to add further....I think it also invokes the idea to find what brings you that kind of peace, and not so much what someone TELLS you brings that peace....
ths album was fuckin sick!!i can see thru my eyes in the 3rd grade looking out our apt.window over looking the harbor top floor 13th leland..my pops baught me this one too,,the cover allways intrueged me!!!ths song means alot to me!!the vox are at a different calibur but the range & depth are sick with the haunting riffs & leads!!!
I saw them in concert Live in the Capital Center in Largo, MD. They were fucking AWESOME !!! again Black Sabbath rises with yet another voice !!! Great album !!! a true SABBATH fan Loves and appreciates all the good stuff !!!
There was nothing harder and heavier back in 1983 than this masterpiece and hidden gem of an album! Simply the best vocal tracks ever laid down by anyone, in my opinion. Love this album!
I love this album! Because of this album, mob rules album, the ramones, motorhead and black flag i wanted to start a band as a kid. Eventually i did but couldnt show as much of my influences. Which sucks.
This is the reunion i want to see, Ozzy is a joke at this point, a lot has been said about the muddy mix on this disc but it really has become the sound that defines how brilliant it is,
@beauty8116 OMG, I was thinking the same . I would love so much a Born Again reunion. I was so excited about the Sabbath reunion back in 1999, and Heaven and Hell reunion 5 years ago. But Ozzy's become such a joke now that I'm not even excited anymore.
@666mathew are you fuckin kidding no one can front sabbath like ozzy what kind of crack are you smoking dude this new records gonna be sick its 40 years in the making and their gonna make their first record worth listening to since 1978
This album: it's been shot down by critics and yeah the sleeve sucks. Sure it's not the most original/fresh or challenging or cerebral Sabbath album but Tony sure chose his riffs wisely for this one - their very powerful and emotional!
a fucking crime that this record is so underrated..... a true masterpiece from front to back..... excited to hear that Tony and Ian are recording material again...... this one brings back great memories.... long live 83
to those of you unaware of gillan's resume, he sang the part of jesus christ on the studio recording version of jesus christ superstar rock opera which is one of the best versions. in my opinion the ian gillan version kicks more ass than the movie soundtrack. the rerecording with steve balsamo, on the other hand, ia juat as good giving justice to ian gillan's style of singing.
@HauptmannMeyer You too?...the bitch introduced me to Sabbath and then tried to use it to cut me down in my prime...needless to say, I am the one here still among us. Actually she is too, just A BIT MORE HUMBLED...hehe
@hyperdog67 Yeah. That was the first time I laughed, right off the bat, in a long time. I didn't expect that punch line. Cheers. And as always, keep on rockin'
when this came out ...I could not wait to record it off the vinal on cassete so I could turn it up and not vibrate the needle and cause feed back ..on the turn table
@MichellesPoontang always nice to see a different opinion out there once in a while. I for one do consider this to be THE best Black Sabbath song ever written, and second best song ever written by any band (nr. 1 being Rainbow's "Stargazer"). However, I do think of the Ozzy era as the best, even though I really love every single track off every single album labeled Black Sabbath!!! Long Live Tony Iommi!!!
Saw the Born Again tour with Quiet Riot opening. Ian nailed the vocals on this live. A very different Sabbath show than i was used to, having seen them numerosu times before with Ozzy/Dio, but an awsome concert nonetheless.
saw this show back in the day-you haven't lived until you've heard black sabbath do smoke on the water-totally underated album-one of their finest-i think their darkest
Jesus is the only hope of salvation from the guilt of sin. He is God come in the flesh. And he came to wash away our sins with his blood that he shed on the cross. Salvation is a free gift, but you must repent and ask Jesus to save you from your sins and come into your heart. God is good. It is written, "The just shall live by his faith."
This is a decent tune, one thing I don't understand is why Sabbath lost the guitar tone and blues based riffs from the Ozzy years after he left. Did Ozzy do any of the songwriting? It seems like Iommi got way, way heavier from this album onwards, and a very important part of Sabbath died in the process.
@Anjohl I don't think it had much to do with Ozzy, Iommi's playing just evolved. He never played like he did back in the 70's again though. Still an amazing guitarist.
they all contributed. if anything, sabbath kind of lost their way when dio left. the stuff afterwards is not nearly as good as the stuff from ozzy/dio.
oh god yeah...I needed to hear this tonight. Love Dio, Love Ozzy...but if you think Sabbath means FORGETTING Gillan...you are FUCKED IN THE HEAD. This IS one of the best Sabbath albums...ever.
I really liked this album, and I still do :-). To be honest, I'm not a real Ozzy-fan, and I'm more into Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin, Glenn Hughes and even Ian Gillan :-). They all had a much more 'singing' voice than Ozzy... For me Ozzy's singing can be really irritating, sorry...
@TheUnbreakableOtaku that is surprising considering that he left after heaven and hell because it felt wrong to him without osbourne , anyway thanks for the info !
one of the best sabbath albums-- darker than anything before-incredible vocals-and tony still knows a killer lick but the best album cover of all time is still SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH
Sad, sensual, sincere, solitary, first of its kind. Born Again and Ian Gillian are a special chemistry that worked. I wonder what he and Ozzy would have accomplished had they colaberated...(?) astonishing stuff no doubt...both being so very unique in their genre
@darkgiu poetry indeed!...with depth and passion...recognized it as such in 1983...'in through my window, deep into my room, the tapestry's all faded, their vague and distant glories concealed in the gloom....and icy fingers of forgotten passions, softly brushing my lips and the tips of my primitive soul"....man, goosebumps
very unfairly underated whencompared to the dio line up, theywere really onto something good and different, much more rewarding than jst war pigs and iron man redundacy .
this was more like a sabbath album then the dio era albums were. dont get me wrong i love dio and all the albums he has done with sabbath..but this one just has more of an evil feeling to it..more drudgy and slow like earlier sabbath. sabbath with dio had more of a rainbow feel to it because dio was such a big part of the song writing on those records.
this is the best black sabbath album of all ian gillian brings out the best of sabbath.how sad they only did one album together then the deep purple reunion killed a great future of music for this super star sabbath line up
When I hear this song, and listen to Ian Gillan's fantastic voice and song-tecnique, it brings tears to my eyes! Gillan has never sang this wonderful, befor or after!
I cant believe the fact that so many people criticize this album! I know i'll get flamed for this but this is an all out better album than heaven and hell! You know what else? This album makes show no mercy look like child's play!
born again ,,is,,wow is an own universe .....born again is black sabbath in a one night stand ...... wonderfull and sometimes we love it to remember.....well it was so good......
for me the albums after ozzy left were the best I was never a fan of his vocal style.

@darkgiu poetry indeed!...with depth and passion...recognized it as such in 1983...'in through my window, deep into my room, the tapestry's all faded, their vague and distant glories concealed in the gloom....and icy fingers of forgotten passions, softly brushing my lips and the tips of my primitive soul"....man, goosebumps

very unfairly underated whencompared to the dio line up, theywere really onto something good and different, much more rewarding than jst war pigs and iron man redundacy .

this was more like a sabbath album then the dio era albums were. dont get me wrong i love dio and all the albums he has done with sabbath..but this one just has more of an evil feeling to it..more drudgy and slow like earlier sabbath. sabbath with dio had more of a rainbow feel to it because dio was such a big part of the song writing on those records.

When I hear this song, and listen to Ian Gillan's fantastic voice and song-tecnique, it brings tears to my eyes! Gillan has never sang this wonderful, befor or after!

I cant believe the fact that so many people criticize this album! I know i'll get flamed for this but this is an all out better album than heaven and hell! You know what else? This album makes show no mercy look like child's play!
