I prefer the albums Tony Martin did. All around, I like his vocal style better. He can sound like Dokken, Dio, Coverdale, and Gillan at will. This album is the darkest, nastiest, dirtiest sound Sabbath ever did. The most evil sounding, which you would think a band named Black Sabbath would shoot for. Alot of that credit goes to Ian Gillan. The demonic screechy falsetto is perfect, even if a little overdone. You can't sing that way being out of breath. You might not like the way his vocals are mixed, but there is no way in hell you can sing like that and be out of breath. Zero chance. Zero.

@@rob5723 They may have listened to it one time, or listened to a couple of songs, and made their judgement. BORN AGAIN needs to be played as loud as possible, and listened to many times, from beginning to end, before someone judges this album. A fair amount of BLACK SABBATH Fans dismissed the album, without giving it a fair chance. With me, I only had to hear the album one time, (when it came out) and I judged it as a great album, and have listened to it many times throughout the years... BORN AGAIN is a Masterpiece, that needs to be listened to as loud as possible for the best listening experience... :)

I was lucky enough to see this tour! They had the huge Stonehenge stones on stage we were like “WTF” then lights out and smoke filled the stage and this red light back lit the stage and then these this yellow lights at the front of the stage looked like the gates of Heaven. Then Sabbath walks through Hell with this ominous walk and they start rockin Children of the Grave. Gillian nailed what he needed to. Wish I had all my concert shirts this one bring a hefty fee!

Not only is this album misunderstood it is also controversial I remember back in 1986 or 87 the members of Black Sabbath for question about the lyrics in this album in front of national TV and I believe it was a Phil Donahue interview shortly after tipper Gore started the pmrc thing not only did the TV interview consists of the members of Black Sabbath it consisted of Dee Snider of twisted sister Ronnie James dio, what are the members of iron maiden all those guys were questioned about the subliminal messages in there music almost all the show was had the annoying beep another words that show was all swearing and cussing by all those heavy metal band members and let's not forget Paul Stanley who immediately flew off the handle when he was asked if kiss stood for Knight s in satins service I would like to know if anybody on KZbin knows how to find that that complete TV program from back in 86 or or 87?

Bought this when it came out, outside of the first track hated it. Every few years I give it another listen, coming to the same conclusion.

Everyone got it right on this album . Bill , toni , geezer & Gillian.

[@Perebynis]

I never understood the hatred for this album. The sound is the closest to the rawness of Sabbath´s first four albums in the Ozzy era. The tracklist has a few fillers, but also some of my favorite songs Black Sabbath ever did, like Trashed, Disturbing the Priest, Zero the Hero and Born Again. The overall atmosphere is of a dark brooding heaviness that only Sabbath could achieve. Ian Gillan´s excellent performance is so over the top that some say he shot his voice with this album. Born Again is easily one of my favorite Sabbath albums.

[@user-oo3vz2gt6v]

I hate to break it to you but even Black Sabbath hated that album. The songs are awesome but the sound ruins it even for the band. They were appaled by it and still are.

@@WillelmMacguyver Oh yeah, as always in music you can like it or not. Personal taste. But im maainly speaking about the sound and how it came to it. Ian Gillan blew a bunch of speakers during the sessions and for whatever phantomable reason nobody noticed it. And thats what we are with now. To me its one of their best albums but only because i can hear what i do belive it should sound like and then its killer. Just magine it with Dios voice and youll get it more i think. And then you will like Gillans voice as well maybe. And im saying all this as someone who got introduced to the entire world of music in general by Black Sabbath with Dio and especially the Heaven and Hell album. Those two things changed my life forever ;) Also i think ... overall ... 13 is maybe their best album ... and i think Ozzy is maybe the worst singer they had over all. Even including the Eternal Idol to Tyr phase which i just hate. But i *love* his solo stuff. Crap, why do i wrote that bloody much this a post and not a letter 🤣

Saw this tour ,it was insane! Gillan was epic! Quiet Riot opened.

Night ranger opened for Sabbath when I saw them.

[@dennisgrubbs1929]

To see Quiet Riot open would have been one hell of a show lucky you

Great album. Now I’m gonna have to dig out the CD that’s buried in a box somewhere.

forgive my english. No one will be able to sing this album like Ian Gillan did!. A metal pearl. in fact it was the best thing that happened to sabbath that ozzy left for a while, otherwise we wouldn't have this album, Tony martin and Dio. The album is dark, raw and distorted. things that only the 80s could do.
