Free Music Notes for Iommi
Free Music Review: I love this freakin disc (my orig review w/diff user name now).
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this freakin disc. Now that I have had the chance to listen to it some more, and I think that song 5 "Patterns" is awesome, and song 6 with Billy Corgan is incredible!! My only complaint is that Corgan's song should be twice as long. Unbelievable. Check out the slow blues based riff at the end that song [Black Oblivion]. You just don't hear songs like that anymore.
If you get a chance to listen to it, (I think that because there is a different singer on each song), it takes a little while for the disc to jell. The disc has the original Sabbath spirit to it, circa 72-75 (Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage era). Ian Astbury's song rocks, and "Just Say No To Love", takes a bit of getting used to because it is so DARK, but if you give it a chance, it is really infectious. "Who's Foolin Who" with Ozzy is a classic Sabbath song, and I love the Billy Idol tune. Go figure.
I don't think I expected to like it this much, especially considering how long Iommi has been around!
Overall... it is a good, solid, well crafted disc.
Iommi Poster
A diverse cast of characters helped create this impressive, four-years-in-the-works solo debut from legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. The vintage ultra-heavy Sabbath musicality gives the disc a cohesiveness despite the variety of voices and lyrics penned by 10 different singers. Skin (of Skunk Anansie) has a lovely, precise delivery that contrasts with the dirgelike feel of "Meat," while Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl turns in a performance that mixes the Foos, Nine Inch Nails, and Sabbath on "Goodbye Lament." Ian Astbury's dramatic vocals on "Flame On" are especially suited to the material, which in this case sounds like Danzig. Also perfect for the portentous vibe is Billy Idol, whose sensual snarl and trademark "yow!" on "Into the Night" is a highlight, despite lame lyrics. A few singers miss the mark: Type O Negative's Peter Steele's deep bass out-Goths the material and Henry Rollins sounds silly. But Iommi's stellar strategic solos (at times they achieve a Jimmy Page-like mysticism) and retro Sabbath stylings make Iommi a must-listen for old-school metal mongers. Black light posters optional. --Katherine TurmanHard Rock & Metal Music CDs
