Review of 13 by Black Sabbath
I feel the need to preface this by saying that Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands of all time. When I heard the first drum beat of Ironman and then the opening guitar riff with Ozzy’s synthesized voice declaring ‘I am Ironman’ I was hooked. Having said that Black Sabbath’s new album 13…
