Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Rhino's pressings are typically top-notch. The production is decent - it sounds clear, but the dynamic range doesn't quite match up to the originals from the 70s. It's not terrible, but it's pretty obvious when you listen to them one after the other.
Black Sabbath's fourth album is an absolute triumph, remastered & pressed to perfection. The louder you blast it, the more incredible it sounds, especially 'Tomorrow's Dream' & 'Under The Sun' which nearly made my house float when I turned it up. It's freakin' amazing...
The sound quality is impeccable, I've got no complaints there. The only downside is the non-fill on B3, which is a bit of a nuisance. For those who enjoy shootouts, here's my ranking: Top spot goes to this Rhino edition. Coming in second is the 1972 German Swirl, though it's a tad muddy and doesn't quite match the Rhino's dynamics. Third place is the 1973 U.K. Spaceship, which is a bit too bright for my taste. Lastly, the 2009 Sanctuary edition takes fourth place, as it lacks the dynamics I prefer. I just wish I had an original U.K. copy to compare.
ANOTHER awesome CB cut of VOLUME 4, just with a tiny label difference. Check out the other 2011 US variant's page for more thoughts .....
This album's pretty solid but often gets overshadowed. The mixing's a bit wonky, though. Some tracks have instruments that are barely there, while others they're all up in your face. Ozzy's vocals are hit or miss too.
