After getting my setup sorted and adjusted, this album blows my mind. It sounds fuckin' incredible, way better than the CD, no comparison at all. This is hands down the best way to experience this album because of the heavy compression on the original.
Is God really Dead? ... Not a chance! He's very much alive, and it's thanks to him! While the tracks have a modern production, they haven't been ruined by over-processing. There's plenty of compression, but it hasn't smothered the dynamics or energy. Besides the powerful, big drums, there's ample room for Ossborne's vocals. The sound isn't overly polished, but it's full, rich, and packed with depth ... and the music is fantastic! Hard rock, with extended riffs, strong beats, and Ozzy's melodic singing.
Alright, there's a lot to cover in this review, so let's dive in. First things first, the production quality is fantastic, but it's important to note that Bill Ward didn't drum on this album—it's Ozzy, Tony, and Geezer. Now, having said that, this album reminds me a lot of Metallica's "Death Magnetic" because it takes bits and pieces of the classic Black Sabbath sound and updates them for today's music scene. For instance, "End of the Beginning" has that classic Sabbath vibe, and "Zeitgeist" brings to mind "Planet Caravan," even with the vocal effects and bongos. You get the picture. The album is solid, but don't expect any groundbreaking, innovative ideas. The band decided this would be their last album, and their goal was to create something relevant, like their older, really good albums. To do that, they had to revisit those old ideas and give them a modern twist. All that being said, I genuinely enjoy this album, and I also really liked "The Devil You Know" by Heaven & Hell, Dio's last album with Tony and Geezer. In my opinion, any fan of the Ozzy era and the newer tracks from the reunion will appreciate this album. So, if you're looking for a vinyl copy, go ahead and grab one!
Even though this record was produced in the Czech Republic, the sound quality is fantastic! The bass, the treble, all of it is perfectly balanced. I'm really enjoying it. However, there's noticeable crackling during quiet parts, and a few clicks here and there.
The tunes are fantastic. I'm impressed by the band's drive to innovate and craft fresh sounds. If they'd picked a producer other than Rubin, you might've seen a higher rating from me.
