    Rating:
    Sadly enough Sabbath continued on the downgoing spiral after "Vol. 4", but they're still too good to put out a totally worthless record.
    Lots of keyboards here and neither the lyrics or the music feels right all the time, musically it's pretty ok especially the title track which has a really heavy riff.
    "A national acrobat", "Spiral architect" and also "Looking for today" are all good at least musically, but then there's almost commercial ones like "Who are you" (with lots of corny keyboards), "Killing yourself to live" (crappy lyrics) and "Sabbra cadabra" which has a promising riff but it gets very spaced out after a while. And "Fluff" is another one of these acoustic instrumentals they've done, kinda boring actually. Ozzy's vocals are getting weaker and in all this album isn't very satisfying the only really great track is "Sabbath bloody sabbath".
