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?

Moonglum,
Thanks for your response. When you get a chance to listen to the album, let us know how it sounds and the overall quality. I really want to get this album, but I had some quality issues with BS reissues in the past so would like to know before I drop my scanty bucks on the new album. Thanks!

Actus, you are most welcome.
I got my copy for an extremely reasonable pre-order price. (Given that it's vinyl, it might be harder to get one later?)
If it all goes pear-shaped you can always claim a refund?
All the best....

Actusreus,
If you like the music,you will not be disappointed with the pressing or sound quality, price is also very reasonable, relative nowadays. Pull the trigger.

Martinmoble: Cool story. According to the band (Sabbath,) Bill Ward couldn't hack it on the drums. Look it up. Anyway, I like all those bands too. Some heavy metal and hard rock recordings from the 70s onward are surprisingly good sounding, as you probably know. I do like Classical and Jazz too. That's nice you have an audiophile society. I tried to get one going here
(Las Vegas,) and it was all talk no action.

Moonglum and Captain_winters,
Thanks guys. I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan, especially with Ozzy so I'll be getting this record. About a year ago I got an opened but untouched 5 LP set called "Black Sabbath - The Ozzy Osbourne Years" for a whooping $15 at my local record store, which is insane. It's an European release, and I understand it's pretty rare on vinyl. By far one of my best finds.
Also, I caught a rerun of an episode of "That Metal Show" on VH1 from about a year ago or so with Tony Iommi as a guest. What a humble, modest and down-to-earth guy. For a guy who's one of the founding fathers of heavy metal and venerated all over the world for decades, it speaks volumes about his character and integrity. Love the guy.
