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?

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?!?!?

Cheers! Aging rockers unite! 50+ year old headbanger here. Just ordered "13" myself off Amazon. 3/4's of 'Sabbath is well worth the wait, but I'd have liked to see Bill Ward on this project. Iommi is the master of riffage.
Note: They are touring NOW! Just snagged my tickets to see them at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, (California...for those of you not familiar with the venue)
I wonder who will be on the drum kit for the tour? Vinnie Appice?
