 ... speed and excitement decrease further in 'Voodoo.' Fortunately, the album picks up after this slow start and becomes an enjoyable imitation of 'Heaven and Hell,' often to the point where I'm unable to tell the difference. 'The Sign of the Southern Cross' is the main offender in the sound-alike stakes, beginning with soft acoustic passages and effeminately high singing from Dio and eventually arriving at a monstrous guitar riff to carry us through this epic song, but it sounds so much like the preceding album's titu...more

Premium Review Mob Rules - Black Sabbath: On a Small World West of Wonder (537 words)

The second Dio album is commonly regarded as the necessary twin to 'Heaven and Hell,' but is a little disappointing when contrasted directly with its predecessor for sounding, at best, exactly the same, and at worst, worse. The experimental side of the last album is still present here, most notably in the prominence of keyboards in track three leading to the entirely synthesised instrumental ambience of 'E5150' (a numerical pun on the word "evil" arrived at through conversion to Roman numerals. Go on, do it), but this sadly leaves the majority of the album sounding very average and indistinct as a result. 'Turn Up the Night' lacks the energy of the previous ...

The fans that disowned Sabbath when Ozzy left made a big mistake, or rather two big mistakes, the first was missing out on Heaven And Hell and the second was missing out on this, the follow-up. It was released in 1981 and still sounds excellent today. Bill Ward, the drummer, checked into rehab again so he was replaced by Vinnie Appice, who doesn't let the side down. Other than that the line up is the same as for Heaven & Hell, being Ronnie James Dio with the voice, Geezer Butler with the booming bass and Tony Iommi with the down-tuned guitars. Sabbath deliver the towering sound they are famous for on tracks like the eight minute Sign Of ...

Mob Rules is often forgotten because of Sabbath's previous album, Heaven and Hell which is considered much better. This is unfair since it is one of the bands best although fans of the Ozzy era and not Dio may disagree. Ronnie James Dio is on vocals and does a fine job both writing lyrics and singning, his voice puts Ozzy's to shame. His style of lyrics comes through again in Mob Rules especially in Country Girl and Falling Off The Edge of the World. Over and Over is very like Heaven and Hell's Lonely is the Word, it has a similar bluesy flavour to it. Perhaps this album is most famous for its title track which is probably the best song on the album but ...

A fantastic album, every track a good one Quite expensive

One of the best albums from possibly the most influential band of all time Some of it sounds dated

End of a classic era, some good metal songs Too repetitive and dull

Great album, very good keyboards, and very memorable chants. Not great mastering.

Heavy and fast stoner doom. Repetitive song styles.

The bands members are quite talented. A lack of passion in the sound, no personality whatsoever put across in the music.

Consistent death metal. Slower and repetitive.

Blue Miasma - Krieg
Atmospheric. Slow and dull.

Armada - Keep Of Kalessin

Chaos Is My Name - Khlyst
Something different. There's a reason no other album sounds like this.

Einsamkeit - Lacrimosa
Goth - 2004

Extreme Aggression - Kreator
Heavier, angrier thrash for those who thought Slayer were too upbeat. Lacking in strong ideas and energy.

II - Krux
Classic doom style for classic doom fans. Lacks original ideas.
