BORN AGAIN is probably the most underrated album in the Sabbath
catalog. Featuring the classic lineup with vocalist Ian Gillan
(Deep Purple) standing in for Ozzy, BORN is a balls-to-the-wall
metal album made in an era when Dexy's Midnight Runners and Debarge
dominated the charts. "Trashed" races by with Gillan's hair-raising
shrieks. It's said the man sang the album naked in the studio for
maximum power and grittiness, and he seems to have achieved it.
Sounding nothing like Ozzy Osbourne or Ronnie James Dio, Gillan
nonetheless fits the Sabbath sound to a T. "Zero The Hero" features
a wicked bass line from Geezer Butler, while "Digital Bitch"
contains classic metal soloing from Tony Iommi. The title track is
a power ballad that fit that label before bands like Firehouse and
Warrant distorted it. If you're a fan of Deep Purple, Black
Sabbath, or hard rock in general, don't let BORN AGAIN be the one
that got away.
