fonzbear2000 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 From: http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/black-sabbath-officially-announce-new-album-13/Black Sabbath have announced the title of their new album! 13 will be released in June via Vertigo and was recorded in LA, with Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk joining original Sabbath members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler for the recording sessions. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album news follows a year in which we saw Sabbath recover from the shocking news that Tony Iommi had been diagnosed with cancer to play a triumphant homecoming show in Birmingham and close Download 2012. This year, Sabbath have already confirmed an Australian tour, as well as the first ever Japanese Ozzfest. Anyway, we now know we’re getting a new Black Sabbath album in June. Roll on June. Oh, GOD, roll on June.I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT FOR THIS!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Good news, but I'm not too happy with the title, 13? Naming it after the year? It can't be the 13th album or the 13th Sabs album featuring Ozzy. Sounds like a lack of imagination there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sharon Osbourne came up with the title...I just know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sharon Osbourne came up with the title...I just know it! she also chooses what ozzy eats, wears, says, thinks, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 but yeah I hope this will be good but it probably won't be, I'm more excited that they might tour the US and I might be able to see black sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This title has been used loads of times by Megadeth recently, Six Feet Under etc. I bet the artwork will be boring too, I hope the music isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I didn't like the 2 title for the second Black Country Communion album either. It didn't matter so much though with that one though and it came very quickly after the first one too. Sabbath have had 35 years since the last Ozzy Sabs album to think of something half decent.

bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 well ozzy hasnt done anything decent in nearly 30 years IMO except a good song here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 and really the last sabbath album I thoroughly enjoyed was mob rules, although dehumanizer was decent and I thought even born again had some okay songs like trashed and zero the hero but yeah my hopes are not high at all, but I know a dude who saw sabbath at lollapalooza last year and apparently they're still kicking ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 well ozzy hasnt done anything decent in nearly 30 years IMO except a good song here and thereThe last decent Ozzy album was "No More Tears" but I didn't listen to it much. The last good Ozzy album that I still like is "The Ultimate Sin", which came out in 1986 27 years ago, so you're right or near enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 both of those had 1-2 good songs on them, but not enjoyable albums for me at all I didn't even like bark at the moon to be honest with you, except for the title track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 like I said, I just wanna be able to say I've seen black sabbath, so bring on the worst album in the world as long as it means they have a US tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I just hope it's better than The Devil You Know. I haven't listened to that in more than 3 years. I haven't listened to solo Ozzy, outside of Blizzard or Diary, since the first, and only, time I listened to Scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 the devil you know kicked ass, but with heaven and hell and mob rules already existing, I never had much inclination to listen to it more than a few times as for solo ozzy, my thoughts are well documented, but yeah scream is one of the biggest turds in rock history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm sure I'll be into the album when it comes out. Like TDYK, I suspect it will end up collecting dust on the shelf, but hopefully they'll take a page out of Rush's book and release a stunner.

Daisley last wrote Ozzy material on the "No More Tears" album. He wrote on all the first six Ozzy records, all the lyrics and obviously had some input on the music and the vocal melodies as well.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so many albums you can listen to in a day! True. But I'm confident Clockwork will stay on my iPod permanently, while VT isn't. I don't expect another Master of Reality, but something better than Scream or TDYK would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 aside from like, led zeppelin I-IV and van halen II and the like, I generally dislike album titles that are number-basedOTOH, this was one of the greatest albums of all time. Having a number for its title in no way detracted from its greatness. http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/87/33/001f3387_medium.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
