Black Sabbath – Dehumanizer Reviews
Dehumanizer is seen by many metal aficionados as a ‘lost classic.’ Released after a decade-long hiatus, its highlights include ‘I’,'Computer God,’ and ‘TV Crimes.’ This remastered album features in-depth liner notes including new band interviews.
This review is from: Dehumanizer (Audio CD) < / b> I remember when they come back Black Sabbath album released in 1992 or so. Ronnie James Dio was back at the top and a very cool music video for “TV Crimes” (with a junky, old television plays nothing but Sabbath is ever stolen) played on MTV's Headbanger's Ball, I liked the singles, but only later did I Dehumanizer. I was stunned how good this album is. It is right up there with Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. In fact, I like it better than Mob Rules. The first track “Computer God” just rocks! The vocals are awesome (as they usually are for God, but especially on this route). “T. V. Crimes “is a fast rocker. “After all (The Dead)” and “Letters from Earth” are dark and haunting. “sins of the father” is a track I think Ozzy would have sounded very much on how it sounds like his style. “Too Late” is one of my favorites. It is a very powerful song, quiet at the beginning and then launches into a blistering metal track with killer texts: “It is too late, too late for tears, too late, and nobody listens to you, welcome to forever, it is too late. “” Time Machine “is the mainstream titles with two versions on the album (one of Wayne's World, which I can not tell apart from the original). The anthem here, however, is “I.” It is amazing, musically and lyrically: “I am a Virgo, I am a whore, not the manufacturer of the taker of the war, I'll smash the face, but with a smile . 'There is nothing weak on this album. The rocks from beginning to end. If you are missing this album in your Black Sabbath / Dio collection, Buy! You will not be disappointed.

Dehumanizer
I was looking for this record for over a year now. It great that amazon had it for a very reasonable price. The record is brand new and plays great.
This review is from: Dehumanizer (Audio CD) < / b> Dehumanizer is a concept that the host with the evils of modern technology.This really is a serious and powerful range of what I think is the best of all Sabbath's lineups.Dio 's masterful voice with Iommi and Butler's great riffs make “Dehumanizer” a classic. From the opening “Computer God” We have a serious evil sounding riff with bounding Dio's voice. “Letters from Earth” and “Time Machine” are also powerful, pounding songs.A favorite location of mine is “TV Crimes” a brilliant attack on dishonest TV preacher charletans and enslave the minds of followers. Some other great tunes are “sins of the father”, which has a large reef. Two of my favorites are the inhuman “I” with its nihlistic and narcissitic texts. Next is a hard hitting, powerful song called “Buried Alive”, which is an attack on organized religion and it is the destruction of the happiness of mankind. Dio's voice is a screaming, angry power on this route!
If you are a fan of the Sabbath, especially the Dio-era, this is a must for your collection.The “reunification” with Ozzy is not the reunification, I think that the Mr. best.Bring back and its brilliant Dio and Iommi songwriting.Dio together the best Sabbath has offered.This brings them back to the glory days of “Heaven and Hell” and “Mob Rules”. This is powerful stuff not pass up “Dehumanizer”.
As I review seven years ago, my dreams are true. Sabbath is back with her best singer Ronnie James Dio as Heaven and Hell. ” Their tour was a great success, and they are back stronger than ever. If you want to re-establish a connection with that era, “Dehumanizer” would be a good start!

Lost
I’m a huge Sabbath fan. Tonight I listened to the cd again for the first time in years. I wanted to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It is that bad.
This review is from: Dehumanizer (Audio CD) < / b> After several so-so album releases, the names of Black Sabbath, we are long-term fans finally have a CD with the “Heaven & Hell” line-up intact.Even if the Mob Rules “lp was good, I would say, technically, that this record could be” Heaven & Hell's follow-up, easily.Very done well, guys.I 've heard several fans (like me) comment, that's Ronnie James Dio singing on this album simply never sounded better, Sabbath, Dio, Rainbow matter.Not yet for sure if I totally agree, but rest assured, “Dehumanizer'is Reunion effort.Only a big downfall is I personally have no doubt this CD as well as the Warner Bros. label or the band for.Notice had hoped that the two guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler whole play is excellent too.Tracks that really draw the listener into ” , Time Machine, “” After All “,” TV Crimes “(see the video still for this song on Headbanger's Ball every now and then),” Computer God “, the God-like” Letters from Earth “and “Buried Alive”. Enjoy this CD as I have Dio twice during catch him on tour, and he mentioned to me that he never again with the Sabbath, because this CD marked the second time he was “burned” by the other members.Sad, but at least fans have a “final” chapter in the saga.Wouldn 't it great if this line-up would someday do the annual Ozzfest summer tour instead of Ozzy? Only thought.Recommended.
