    Ozzy sounds sinister, havent heard his voice sound this good in a very long time. He shines here!!!! Ripping Iommi solo. Again, Geezers bass is so up front!! 2 studio tracks, 4 new songs out there altogether! We are down to 11 days

    There is nothing like that voice over that guitar with that bass, period!!

    Sabbath 13!!!

    Great song, great band. Sabbath at it’s best.

    Unfortunatly the sound of the mp3 is so bad, because of high compression. This is NOT a good advertising for the album. It can put some listener off. I hope the sound of the album is MUCH better than here.

    Oh dear god is that good. Wasn’t sure that Rick Rubin was the best choice for this album. However, the live, raw production captures Sabbath at their absolute best. This song does not sound like a band who decided to record a new album simply for the sake of a reunion.

    I know it’s way to early to say this, but I think Sabbath has another album or two to go before they say farewell.

    Until Tony started doing some riffing I wasn’t liking it at all. I don’t like those drawn out power chord beginnings like at the start of this song..

    Absolutely incredible.
    What we’re hearing in 13 is the closing of a defining age in music history,
    by the very band that brought it about.

    As the saying goes: Often imitated, never duplicated.
    Enjoy this ride, it’ will have been worth the 35 year wait.

    A huge THANK-YOU to Tony, Geezer, Ozzy, Bill, and Brad. Only 9 more days to 13.

    I love this, you can hear the rawness of the solo, not all figured out and thought through,, very off the cuff,, just like in the beginning. Reminds me of a solo that could of been on the first album,, sounds great!!

    JOE, that link for the stream you posted isn’t working . But you click it and you get a bunch of Spanish stuff . No link for music from Sabbath anywhere. Just a pic od Ozzy & Tony & Geezer.

      No, it works. I just confirmed it AFTER you left that comment. Make sure you don’t have ad blocking turned on – and it is a Flash based media player there. BUT IT MOST DEFINITELY WORKS.
