Any rock fans out there?

I preordered Black Sabbath 13 album and received it on 6/11. All I can say is wow, Ozzy, Geezer and Tony hit a home run with this album. The music is all new, but in the traditional 'master of reality', "vol 4", self titled albums. The pressing is super quiet, 33, 2 album set. Bass and drums are fantastic on this pressing. The music and lyrics are great and in tradition of old Black Sabbath, "I don't believe that God is dead". Since I know I have to ask a question, my question is, are there any rock fans out there?

Heard 13 on MOG and was pleasantly surprised. I can see it sounding well on full resolution . Think Iommi in particular did great with the guitar parts and harmonies with a mix of old school BS, Heaven and Hell BS, and contemporary hard rock sounds.
Very much looking forward to their live show this Summer

What is this Rock stuff I keep hearing about? Is it as good as Perry Como and Doris Day that mother and me listen to on special occasions. Brings us to tears every time!

Rock fan here and heard to stay away from the cd version of 13. Supposedly loud and compressed. Too bad because BS's SHM-SACD's are far from this.

Number 1 in UK already, first since Paranoid for Black Sabbath, 42 years ago.

My copy of "13" was delivered yesterday. :)

You beat me to it Captain.....I was just about to report their No.1 success. :)
Incredible that a group of aged 60+ heavy metal rockers can achieve this.
Their contemporaries must be thinking hard?!?!?
