 ... 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)
by - written on 20/02/08 (Very useful, 20 readings)
Rating:

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Mob Rules - Black Sabbath: Mob Rules (230 words)

Rating:

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 ...  Read the complete review

'Turn Up the Night', 'Mob Rules' and 'Falling Off the Edge of the World' are extremely fast and deadly tracks that really do showcase some of Dio and Iommi's finest moments performing together. 'Voodoo' and 'Country Girl' are both hard rock wonders but slower in tempo, the former track making it onto the Sab's live set on 'Live Evil'. Probably the finest song on the album is 'The Sign of the Southern Cross' which is a long-winded, slower epic piece, the LP's answer to the title track on 'Heaven and Hell'. It's here where Dio's sword and sorcery-laced lyrics play at their best off the rest ...  Read the complete review

 

Products similar to Mob Rules - Black Sabbath

More of the same, if you liked the last one. More of the same, which is disappointing.

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

Fiercely aggressive, intelligent lyrics May offend sensibilities of certain people

Heavy Metal - 1993

When Fire Rains Down From The Sky Mankind Will Reap As It Has Sown - Anaal Nathrakh
Great vocals and more attention to detail. Still sounds mechanical and repetitive.

Total Fucking Necro - Anaal Nathrakh
Easily affordable way to own the band's demos, a great supplement to the first album. Not as sophisticated as a "proper" album.

The Scarecrow - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Another fantastic metal opera by Tobias Sammett lots of guest vocals None for me

The Machinery Of Oblivion - Arcane Order
Aggressive death metal without sounding forced. Clearly derivative of Gothenburg bands.

Silent Waters - Amorphis
Some good melodical riffs Too wet

Lost In Space: Vol. 2 - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Good vocals. More of the same, and the same wasn't that good.

Domine Non Es Dignus - Anaal Nathrakh
The best elements carry over from the previous E.P. Less extreme and disappointingly clinical.

Codex Necro - Anaal Nathrakh
Insanely good vocals, excellent riffs, great song structures, very atmospheric, varied. Not for the fainthearted!

Chained - At Vance
Great guitar showmanship from Olaf Lenk. A very dated sound, and exactly the same as the band's previous albums.

Battle At Helms Deep - Attacker
Early U.S. power metal, from metal's golden age. Vocals may irritate, and it's all more than a little daft.
