| Black Sabbath - Seventh Star Band: Black Sabbath Tracks: - In for the Kill - No Stranger to Love - Turn to Stone - Sphinx (The Guardian) - Seventh Star - Danger Zone - Heart Like a Wheel - Angry Heart - In Memory Not TRUE Sabbath, But A Great Metal CD Nonetheless! This is a Black Sabbath album in name only (Tony Iommi is the only original member present), but once you get past that fact, you can enjoy this for what it REALLY is and that's a first-rate pure metal CD. Nothing ground-breaking, but superb playing and excellent production make it a winner. Ex-Deep Purple bassist/lead singer Glen Hughes takes the vocals here and puts a bluesy spin on Iommi's trademark monster riffs on tunes such as "In For The Kill," "Turn To Stone" and "Danger Zone." Definitely the best of the Sabbath albums that didn't feature Ozzy or Dio. Check it out! Better than given credit for. This was not meant to be a Black Sabbath album.It was originally a Tony Iommi solo project.That is why it doesn't really sound like a Sabbath album.The record co. decided that they were going to Call it Black Sabbath.However,this is a very good album.An "Ozzy only"Sabbath fan won't like it,but someone interested in hearing something a little more diverse will thoroughly enjoy this CD. It has a good mix of hard rock,blues,and even a ballad.Glenn Hughes is an EXCELLENT singer,and his voice fits in very well with what Tony was trying to accomplish. This is a good album Seventh Star is in the category of 'forgotten' Sabbath albums that include 'Born Again' and 'Never Say Die'. This album features Glenn Hueghs on vocals, Eric Singer( later with KISS) on drums, Eddie'Spitz' on bass, and of course Toni Iommi on guitar. Geoff Nichols the fifth member of Sabbath rounds out this album with keyboards. You'll be hard pressed to find better musician ship from Toni. He gets away from his bar chord riffs like Iron Man and War Pigs and really lets loose. 'Turn to Stone' is a good example of this. The title track 'Seventh Star' takes you on a trip to God knows where. It's really out there. Glenn sounds good on the album, but unfortunatly, the lyrics are sometimes weak. I always liked the chorus for 'Angry Heart' though. I'll put this album against anything put out by the on again off again Tony Martin era.
