Bless Geezer Butler's misguided old brain. One has to give him credit for actually being the one Fab Sab member to actually put out something that's not completely ridiculous — plus, he's staying true to the metallic roots he helped create.

Infusing elements of rap metal into his otherwise '80s cock rock delivery (or a third-rate copy of Dio-era Sabbath as garbled by new metal fans), this album feels dated before it hits the shelves. Factor in that every track has that same beat-heavy vibe of mid-tempo metal and this feels like one bad, endless Ugly Kid Joe song.
