Dio's induction led to "Heaven And Hell", the album that saved the band from crippling mediocrity. The songwriting standards are back to the way they were with "Technical Ecstasy", and for whatever reason, Gillan's vocals to not fit nearly as well as they should have.
Although not as articulate as Dio, Ian Gillan had an amazing voice throughout the 70's. Particularly in his shrieking falsettos, there is no doubt that he was one of his era's vocal greats when it came to hard rock.
Listening to his performance on "Child In Time" from Deep Purple's "In Rock" album makes it clear that his haunting voice would have worked well with Sabbath's relatively dark sound.
Although many argue that his bluesy style does not fit with the heavier sound that Black Sabbath goes for, it could have been incredible. Sadly this potential is far from realized; the whole thing sounds underbudgeted and generally uninspired. Gillan's falsettos sound great for the most part, but the songwriting falls flat for the most part. Barring the moments where he sets his voice on fire, Gillan's performance feels like he doesn't care about the music, and who can blame him?
The composition falls flat more often than not; there isn't a melody of riff that sticks after the album's over. The biggest fault here is undoubtedly the production and mixing. Apparently, the rough cuts were accidentally published rather than the refined mix, and if that is true, it's a pretty juvenile slip-up for a veteran band to make.
The album sounds like a rough demo, or a work-in-progress. As a result, the more upbeat 'rock' tracks are completely unenjoyable to listen to, with only Gillan's shrieks clambering above the mess.
However, something very unexpected happens as a by-product of this. Also thanks in part to Gillan's eerie falsettos, this is the darkest Sabbath have sounded since the debut. The slower tunes and ambient interludes are actually pretty good, and the lo-fi sludge gives it a diabolical atmosphere that I might compare to some black metal.
Further proof that not everything is black or white, especially when it comes to music. Taking into account the fact that most of the album still defaults on conventional hard rock songwriting, it becomes nearly unlistenable when paired with a production that sounds like it was engineered by a studio intern.
It might be worth checking out for Ian Gillan friends, but this is a chapter in Black Sabbath's history that is best left forgotten.
It's really not that bad as some people say, in my opinion. There are highlights. In general "Born again" is a doom-laden, led-heavy, chaptig, frightening album and quite unique in the Sabbath canon. It's literally like climbing down into the depths of Hell. Gillan's typical screaming adds alot to this feeling,coming like rays of devilish yells of fear and insanity through a haze of doomy, murky music. Some songs are great stuff Disturbing the priest and Zero the Hero, for instance , some are enjoyable and atmospheric the title track is one and othersare easily forgotten like Stonehenge and Keep it warm.
In short "Born again" offers some great music, it's just not that great an album. Ian Gillam Deep Purple takes the lead vocalist spot on this album. Ian's had some great performances and some not so great, so I am happy to say that this is one of his better gigs and his vocals fit right with the atmosphere and evil feelings of this album. Now, as other reviewers have said, this is not their best album and it doesn't quite reach the 5 star quality of most of the Osbourne era albums, but it comes closer than many of the other non-Ozzy albums.
Too bad that things didn't work out between Ian and the band, but this is the only album with Ian on it. The stories go that Ian broke all of his records that he received from the recording of this album and that he threw up when he saw the album cover.
Maybe if he had stayed, the sound might have suffered, we will never know. But at least this line up of the band released a very good album here. The music is hard, the first side of the album is the best and most progressive with songs that should be considered classic Sabbath and should be considered some of their best.
The second side suffers from a little sameness, especially from the last two tracks, but don't skip over the title track because it is also one of their best, sounding a lot like the hard dark blues of the first album. Don't make the same mistake I did, give this one a chance. If you don't like it, then it's not like you are out much, but if you do like it, you will discover like I did that you are in for a nice surprise. Congrats to the band for not falling to the corporate heavy metal that was around at the time and for not compromising their sound, at least for this album.
This one is and hopefully soon will become an excellent addition to my prog rock collection, preferably on vinyl. By , Dio and Vinny Appice had left the band due to disagreements and misunderstandings over the making of the live album "Live Evil", so the rest of Black Sabbath had to find a new voca Born Again, for the first time!
Black Sabbath! Ian Gillian! Well, I've seen many fellow reviewers pigeonhole this one, and rightly so. It is a sort of bad that very few things manage to pull off. The production is pretty anemic, the lyrics are kind of s When I first got hold of the album and sat back looking at the cover before slipping the needle into the groove I was kind of excited - Deep Purple marriage with Sabbath in part - Wow I thought, this would be something.
Look at their vague and distant glories concealed in the gloom, the icy fingers of forgotten passions. What's that you're thinking? Progosopher has finally gone off the deep end by giving this album four stars? This, the second lowest rated album of theirs on this site and one of the most revile An absurd thought. Ian Gillan playing with Black Sabbath. It is like fire and water. Then again, it is difficult to ignore the evidence. This album is a pretty conclusive piece of evidence.
