Free Music Review: Sabbath's Last Stand...
Hit: 5 Stars

I bought this in 95 when it came out, and have loved it ever since, it only getting better with age and every time I listen to it. I remember reading the review of it in "Rolling Stone" magazine, and they trashed it (the only other review I had read of a BS album in RS was a review of "Mob Rules", and they ripped that one to shreds), and I remember laughing at the review as I listened to it. Now I see on Amazon (surprisingly) that a LOT of people are p*ssing on this. WHY???
Sure, at the time there seemed to be a bit of Tony Martin 'overkill', with "Cross Purposes", "Cross Purposes-Live", and this coming out all a year apart, kind of creating a TM cluster f**k, making BS fans feel like it was maybe now time to find a new singer (which I feel Iommi did with Glenn Hughes on the awesome "Eighth Star", what I feel should have been the next BS cd after this one, and then "Reunion").
But, either way, this is a sizzling rocking cd! BS fans make a huge mistake I see by comparing BS cd's to other BS cd's, instead of comparing them to OTHER music that was coming out at that particular time. I even made the same mistake in the mid to late 80's during what was called the 'Tony Sabbath' era. But, I now realize what a mistake that was, for the Sabbath sound is there, and awesome at that; possibly some of the best they ever made. Ozzy was a very distant memory to me and a lot of fans by this point, Dio and Gillen (Ray Gillen, not Ian Gillan) were the vocalists to compete with by then.
This cd is a very great, very refreshing throwback to EARLY Sabbath. Dark, moody, bluesy, and even going back to 'rapping'. Yes, Black Sabbath were rapping from their very first albums with songs like "Wicked World", "Sleeping Village", "Electric Funeral", "War Pigs", "Into the void", et al. So bringing in the coolest rap artist in the history of rap (Ice-T) to guest on the opening sinister track, "The Illusion of Power" was pure genius. Pure raw, electric/eclectic rock/rap power just like only Sabbath could do it, sounding like the dinosaur creeping out of the boneyard at midnight to take a bite. Then the blistering "Get A Grip" takes off, ripping like "Zero the Hero" (another 'rap/rock' number by BS in 83)) and "Buried Alive" (yet another 'rap/rock' song from BS in 92).
Tracks like "Shaking Off the Chains", "Rusty Angels", "Guilty As Hell", "Sick and Tired", and the title track are pure blistering blues hard rock gems from Sabbath at a time when the latest trend was to have a vocalist that sounded like Cookie Monster on acid. The epic "Kiss of Death" is possibly the strongest song from Sabbath during the 90's. And, the 'ballads' "I Won't Cry for You" and "Can't Get Close Enough To You" are very akin to "Sabotage" and "Technical Ecstasy".
I find it really hard to critique Sabbath's studio cd's now that I have their entire touring catalog on cd and/or DVD (I prefer bands live), but this is a real mean Sabbath studio cd, and it really pains me to see so many people hating it with such passion, when, ironically, there is such passion in the recording of this cd.
And the cover art is the biz! The British humor that is Sabbath's trademark is so cool, and possibly the best cover art since "Born Again".
'Old Death' waits by the fire until He can claim his 'souls', but the message is he'll just have to wait for etertity because Sabbath are having way too much fun rocking by the fire.
This cd features the same line-up from "Tyr", and the only thing bad about that is that they lost 4 years between that and this cd (they broke up to reunite with Dio in 92 for the "Dehumanizer" cd).
Hopefully time will be kind to this cd, and it will eventually find the right fanbase to appreciate its greatness. Thank you.
