CD - Black Sabbath: 13

Black Sabbath to Number 1 on the album chart last week, as if it was 1970, with their 19^th album, 13, and it may have had a little something to do with producer, Rick Rubin, who made his name with the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy and has, more recently, put his talent behind one of the best-selling albums in history-Adele’s 21, as well as Kanye and Jay-Z’s latest offerings.

The Prince of Darkness and friends haven’t let their advanced years settle them, instead choosing to assault their loyal fans with a suitably heavy reunion record.

Ozzy’s voice is, miraculously, still there, still power-housing above the thrashing guitars and all but the original drummer have truly reformed on top form, turning in a classic Sabbath album and melting away the decades since Ozzy left them, well, was advised his services were no longer needed.
