Jan 11, 2014I love this album! It's the best Black Sabbath album since 1975 when they have released Sabotage. I could listen to it over and over again. It's just a masterpiece and should be the last Black Sabbath album.

Jan 15, 2014Welcome back to Black Sabbath. This "13" is a step into their 70s earlier work. Nothing new, but it can be considered a good effort. I think it definitely closes the circle of their studio career.

Sep 2, 2014The godfathers of metal are back and "13" is truly a great album with the Black Sabbath feel but also with a new twist which makes it very interesting to say the least. While it's not '70s Sabbath, this album proves that they still rock and they can make really good music.

Sep 14, 2013Decided not to buy after hearing some songs on the radio. It is definitely Black Sabbath but more like Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die. It is not the quality of Paranoid or Volume IV.

Apr 26, 2023A very Good Final Album from one of the Best Band. Very cool to hear Ozzy and Black Sabbath again.

Classic Rock MagazineJul 23, 2013No, 13 isn't as good as their first six albums--what is?--but it's a million times better than most of what followed. [Summer 2013, p.86]

Jul 8, 201313 gets tiresomely monolithic and ponderous.

The WireJul 3, 2013This is perhaps the group's most straightforward release outside of their intermittent collaboration with late vocalist Ronnie James Dio. [Jul 2013, p.52]
