 (36 Customer Reviews)
While Black Sabbath remained one of heavy metal's top concert draws throughout the late '70s, the band's albums of the era proved to not be on par with its earlier work. This creative weakness was what caused vocalist Ozzy Osbourne to split from the band in 1979 to launch a highly successful solo career. Sabbath used the opportunity to refocus its direction, eventually replacing the group's batty frontman with ex-Rainbow member Ronnie James Dio. The new line-up's first album, 1980's HEAVEN AND HELL, proved to be Black Sabbath's most successful (both commercially and artistically) in a long time. The opening number, "Neon Knights," remains one of Sabbath's most ferocious, while "Children of the Sea" alternates between dark, brooding metal and a gentle melodicism that's stressed even further on "Lady Evil" and "Die Young."
Recorded at Criteria Recording Studios, Miami, Florida and Studio Ferber, Paris, France.
Black Sabbath: Ronnie James Dio (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass); Bill Ward (drums).

Heaven And Hell Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews The best version of Black Sabbath!
The music is so clean and crisp. Ronnie James Dio is by far a more talented vocalist the Ozzie. The best thing that ever happened to Black Sabbath was the joining of Dio in my opinion.

 A very good Black Sabbath Release
Overall, a very strong release from Black Sabbath with Dio. Obviously, very different from the earlier years. Unfortunately, the recording is below average. A quality digital remaster would probably help.

The best album they ever recorded!
In this album Black Sabbath has got the mix perfect. Heaven and hell has got everything a good album needs. The guitars are set up just right, the sound is amazing, i can't get over how good it is! It's a real 'make you wanna get up and dance' album. Well done boys!

This is it,all the elements of a great metal album.Great tunes,the powerful and melodic vocals of Dio,Iommi's crushing guitar tones,with Butler and Ward serving up a solid foundation.The last track 'lonely is the word',in my opinion,is the best slow metal tune of all time.One of the best sounding metal albums in my collection."Hand your hand,and take my hand,it's the only road i know.Yeah,lonely is the word.."

| | Toby Keith American Ride CD (2009)
Heaven And Hell
$13.59  
With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does have a few tougher numbers that pick up on the lean, mean vibe of 2008's THAT DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY -- "Every Dog Has Its Day," the sly "If I Had One," and the heavy blues stomp "Loaded" -- but spends more time on the softer side, even when he kicks up a bit of dust on the dancefloor on "You Can't Read My Mind" or does a funny, respectful salute to military life on "Ballad of Balad." In other words, the real touchstone for the rest of the record is "Tender as I Wanna Be," where he lets his guard down and lets the romance flow. This doesn't turn AMERICAN RIDE into a schizophrenic jumble, as Keith has always balanced these two extremes, but after spending a little bit more time swaggering than wooing, he's back to crooning and it's amiable and appealing.

| | Buckcherry Live & Loud 2009 CD (2009)
Heaven And Hell
$8.49
When Buckcherry hit the scene in the mid-'90s, few would have predicted that the raunchy, stripper pole/retro-hair metal outfit had a 15-year career ahead of it, let alone a Grammy nomination. Despite the nearly complete dissolution of the band in 2002, Buckcherry managed to embrace the subversive tenacity of chief inspiration Mötley Crüe by ignoring the naysayers ...

‘The Dewey Decibel System’ is the debut album from Southern California’s Killerest Surf Band. CHUM is not your dad’s surf music, there are no pretty harmonies, no Old Ladies from The Valley. There’s just guitar, bass, drums, volume, reverb, attitude, and a smile. Phil Dirt from Reverb Central (one of the foremost authorities on surf music) says this about CHUM’s ‘The Dewey Decibel System’… “Highly intense and thick sound, sometimes downright threatening, Chum have developed into a gray-green storm surf band with a very strong delivery.†Yes, small, but MIGHTY!!! The CHUM line-up on ‘The Dewey Decibel System’ is Roger Merritt on guitar, Ted Thompson on bass, and Adrien Anthony on drums. One thing worth pointing out is that the album is dedicated to the memory of the late, great Dewey Weber. A World Champion Surfer, South Bay Icon, Surfboard ...
