Having never been a die hard Black Sabbath fan, I just picked this up recently on a lark and I have to say it is a lot of fun. There are several great tracks here and none that I have been tempted to skip over yet. At this moment the Zombie track is my favorite but tomorrow it may be the Bruce Dickinson track. Good driving music, just keep an eye on the speedometer because you'll want to floor it many times while it's wailing.
I have been a longtime listener of Black Sabbath and finally got around to getting this album and found it to be fantastic. The songs are well done and you can tell that the people that put this CD together put a lot of love into it. Wonderful, and creative in one small package.
Also, never heard of the 1000 Homo's playing anything, but, I loved the bass line and a new take on this old tune; it sounded Rebellious and irreverent and in your face for the drug culture. The Highlights are "The Wizard", "Black Sabbath", and "Supernaut" YES I think that is a great song on the Album. This is a great CD and Tribute to a Band that is no less then THE HISTORY of METAL themselves. For instance, the spoken word saying, "It's FUN to take a hit." is a very sardonic reference to the drug war. Many disagree, but hear me out. I found the Industrial Metal of Zombie's version of "Children of the Grave" to be refreshing and alive. The countdown is great and blast off is perfect for this type of song. I find it refreshing to hear all these songs again, some are done better then the original, ie., Bruce Dickinson "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".I cant' say more then this.
I like every one of these except for Ugly Kid Joes version of NIB. The rest are awesome. The sequel album NIB 2 is good too. There are some great quotes on the insert so try to get the artwork with the cd.
I was told it was only available to label execs. The Second disc is the "New Testament" perfomed by the cover bands.
The songs don't have to match exactly too be good. This is one of the better tributes out there.
Disc one is the "Old Testament" perfomed by Black Sabbath. Most of the tracks you can find on the particular artists own library somewhere.
I have the two disc version titled "The Bible According To Black Sabbath". It was a limited release by Columbia/Concrete with different back cover and the words "Demonstration Not For Sale".
I'd love to get my hands on another copy.
