Is it that bad?- Black Sabbath-Dehumanizer

I am joined once again by JC Rock and Metal Reviews and Tom-The Green Man to talk about this 1992 album by Black Sabbath that marked the return of Ronnie James Dio.
We will cast vote and decide is it that bad or not?

[@jerryhensley6255]

I'm a huge Ronnie James Dio fan But dehumanizer is one of the greatest albums ever

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yeah I honestly don’t know why it got mixed reviews

[@Cheddar_Wizard]

I’m glad Computer God was mentioned, but I’m surprised no one mentioned Master of Insanity as being one of the most memorable tracks on the record. Great riff and a hook that can actually stay with you.

[@thegreenman4925]

That's very true. Great riff in that track.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Kick ass track

[@renanvenanciodealmeida57]

Yeah that song is heavy. I like TV Crimes too.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

@@renanvenanciodealmeida57 love TV Crimes

[@charlesbarr3561]

Yes, Master of Insanity is great. And let's not forget "I". But to hear the negativity on Too Late, that was a little bit of a shock to me. Especially given the tone, the setting, and how Tony's scorching solo just fits.

[@erlonbailey8398]

Crushing album and Dio is singing like he has a bone to pick.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes I don’t know why it got mixed reviews honestly. Thanks for watching.

[@charlesbarr3561]

There is no bad Dio. Period

[@mickblack3291]

Its one of their best, it completes the Holy trinity of Dio/Sabbath albums.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes I liiked it

[@charlesbarr3561]

I don't know, I guess I'm just a strange cat, because Dehumanizer was my favorite Black Sabbath album until just recently when I found myself leaning more toward The Devil You Know. I absolutely love the complexity of the music, I love the fact that they showcase multiple tempos. Time Machine and TV Crimes are my least favorite, but Sins of the Father is my favorite, and Iommi's work on Too Late is totally EPIC. That solo in Too Late literally speaks, and tells the story. You can hear it pleading its case on judgement day... Just amazing.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yeah we all voted positive on this one.

[@basher5107]

Bible Black is amazing

[@morteamoureuse]

I like these collaborations, it's nice that you feature other content creators! Plus it's nice to hear these discussions, it's like hearing a group of old friends talking.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes like a round table talking music. I enjoy them too.

[@stanferraro4130]

I bought this album when it came out in '92, and have loved it ever since ...Ronnie sings great, Vinny kicks ass, and the combo of Butler and Iommi is always great. I think this is the best out of all the albums that this lineup recorded, the others are great but this is a true doom and gloomy Black Sabbath album...nothing wrong IMO...and I own every album by both Sabb. and Dio.....\m/---\m/

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes that is why we saved it. Don’t know why mixed reviews

[@charlesbarr3561]

👍👍👍 Heck yeah! So, I saw this tour twice, the first, in Columbus, Ohio, they played a smaller venue and I was lucky enough to be front row. It was LEGENDARY. Then I saw them in Dayton at Hare Arena. (Not sure if I spelled that right)

[@shspurs1342]

Vinny or Cozy, I can’t split them. Plus their style of drumming is so similar.

[@FortessofShred]

Honestly, I love the cover for all of those reasons 🤣

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

@@FortessofShred it is a good album

[@FortessofShred]

@hectorThechilldudeonacouch not my favorite but a fantastic album

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

@@FortessofShred I picked it because I saw it got mixed reviews

[@basswrld401]

Solid record, may not be their best but definitely not their worst either

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Agreed

[@METALBENSCHRONICLES]

I think Dehumanizer is underrated and probably the heaviest sabbath album. Yeah the album isn't the greatest but then again black sabbath had alot of pretty bad album covers lol.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

The album cover does not do it justice.

[@shspurs1342]

Too late is with a beautiful Metal song.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes

[@shspurs1342]

More like one of the most underrated albums of al time ever. I think it’s not even debatable. The only thing that was wrong was the timing. I.E when it came out.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

We all liked it but it got some mixed reviews

[@shspurs1342]

@@hectorThechilldudeonacouch At the time 1992. Most Metal band were all trying to go extreme. I was 13 I think. That’s what i like about Black Sabbath. They were never trying to follow what everyone else was doing.

[@troyevitt2437]

Regarding "Headless Cross" and "Tyr", vocalist Tony Martin was brought in to kinda sorta recapture the Dio-era. When the band toured in support of "Dehumanizer", Some Tony-Martin-Era material would have ROCKED!!! The band did a lot of back-catalog and it's too bad that Ronnie James Dio sang Ozzy-era material after a decade of being a solo artist. Dio singing Tony-Martin-era material would have been better him singing than Ozzy-era material. "Valhalla", "The Headless Cross" and "The Shining", from "The Eternal Idol", would have been COMPLETE TITS with Dio singing!

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

I actually enjoyed this album, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@troyevitt2437]

@@hectorThechilldudeonacouch Oh, I'm NOT saying I don't like it; it RAWKS! I'm only saying that some of the material sounds like it was intended to be Sabbath material. "Strange Highways"and "Dehumanizer" are sort of "book-end" releases, plus the graphic artist drew both "Dehumanizer's" Terminator-Grim Reaper and the da Vinci Vitruvian Man on "Strange Highways".

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

I always thought Dehumanizer was really strong. Not great like Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules, but still an enjoyable Dio/Sabbath record. Definitely darker than the first two albums with Dio. I wish the 92 reunion would've lasted longer.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes its a good album. Thanks for watching.

[@DjangoPorter]

Understand. What you guys think of dehi anixmzer but j m a long time fan since early 70. And j just. Bought xnd heard for the first time. This year 2024: and. I love it it's. Amazing.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

But we voted all thumbs up so we like it

[@robertsparling917]

Forbidden is worst that Dehumanizer! Forbidden, which is the last album with Tony Martin, is a dumpster fire and Ice-T being featured on one of the songs made it even worse!

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Ok I see

[@mickblack3291]

Martin era was the worst

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Its a solid album. Definitely not one of Black Sabbath's best albums but an entertaining and well made record in its own right.

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

Yes we decided do this one because read about some criticism but its good. Maybe not best one with Dio. Love for you join us for a video sometime.
