    Poor song-writing damages what could have a been a fine album.

    Blue Record truly depicts a band at the peak of their powers. [Nov 2009, p.106]
  2. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an overarching concept. It doesn’t matter one way or another. It’s a gallop from start to finish. Blue Record is going to be hard to top.
  3. Here, as on Red Album, they keep finding new ways to make old Black Sabbath tricks seem fresh.
