Sabbath doesn't reinvent the wheel here; there are plenty of songs that will remind you of older, often better classics. But this album sounds exactly like you would want it to: it has the classic Sabbath sound yet it fits comfortably in the modern age. It's also worth mentioning that while I do wish Bill Ward was here, Brad Wilk does an admirable job in his place. If this ends up being the last Black Sabbath album ever, they're definitely going out with a winner. And, yes, the bonus tracks on the deluxe version are worth the extra money.

What's great about it: Good songs, bonus tracks actually worth the extra money.

It is an actual song, and a pretty good one, too. It's very up-tempo compared to the rest of the album. Would definitely reccomend getting the album at Best Buy to get this song.
