Thank you! (And I'm sorry about not commenting on your summary posts, I've been in a real fic reading slump lately... will get back to you.)
13 isn't a great Sabbath album, at least not after just one listen, and obviously it's way too long, but it's far better than it has any right to be. Tony riffs, Geezer's rhyming dictionary feels dirty and used, and Ozzy actually sounds good. "God Is Dead", "Age of Reason", "Live Forever", "End of the Beginning", "Dear Father", "Methademic"... There's some really good songs here, even if you'll feel like you've already heard them before. Also, it's fun to realise that things have come so full circle that Tony Iommi is now stealing riffs from the White Stripes, but at least they're good riffs.
