Much better than its undeserved reputation
This re-release of the 1978 album sounds fantastic. The record has an undeserved reputation as a poor effort by the 'Sabs. It is a departure from some of their heyday sound - it's not so much a heavy metal record as it is a 1970s hard rock album - hints of Thin Lizzy, what was to come in Van Halen and Ozzy's early solo records, maybe a little prog (Don Airey's presence on keys), and a lot of blues. I agree with many critiics, the first half of the album is stronger, but don't write off the second - the only real strange moment is the instrumental breakout, which admittedly, does not make a lick of sense if separated on its own, and only fits with the albumn closer "Swingin' the Chain" and earlier songs such as Junior's Eyes and Johnny Blades. Give it a listen.
