“BORN AGAIN is probably the most underrated album in the Sabbath catalog. Featuring the classic lineup with vocalist Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) standing in for Ozzy, BORN is a balls-to-the-wall metal album made in an era when Dexy's Midnight Runners and Debarge dominated the charts.
"Trashed" races by with Gillan's hair-raising shrieks. It's said the man sang the album naked in the studio for maximum power and grittiness, and he seems to have achieved it. Sounding nothing like Ozzy Osbourne or Ronnie James Dio, Gillan nonetheless fits the Sabbath sound to a T. "Zero The Hero" features a wicked bass line from Geezer Butler, while "Digital Bitch" contains classic metal soloing from Tony Iommi. The title track is a power ballad that fit that label before bands like Firehouse and Warrant distorted it. If you're a fan of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, or hard rock in general, don't let BORN AGAIN be the one that got away.

----------------------------------------

Born Again was the first Sabbath album I bought without Ozzy. What made me want this album so much was the fact that it had the legendary Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan on vocals (I was already a bit of a Purple fan myself too). OK, because the fact that it was my FIRST post-Ozzy Sabbath album is one reason why it's my favourite of all the 80s-onwards studio albums, but the songs all mean business too.
There's also a lot of history behind Born Again. I wont get into that, but I think all Sabbath fans will know that the tour for this album was the tour with the Stonehenge 'incident'. And it was also the tour where Black Sabbath became Deep Sabbath because Tony Iommi went into the 'Smoke On The Water' riff and the band actually performed the song live. Definitely Sabbath's strangest era. When Dio was out, drummer Vinnie Appice went with him and original drummer Bill Ward steps in once again (though he wasn't well enough to play on the tour).
The music is superb- opener 'Trashed' has awesome lyrics based on a real-life event, chugging guitar riffs and great solos from Iommi, and wailing vocals from Gillan. Perfect way to start. 'Stonehenge' is a very dark, moody keyboard instrumental, kina like 'E5150' from the previous Mob Rules album. 'Disturbing The Priest' follows and is my favourite song off Born Again. it starts with a crushing riff and Gillan laughing his head off in an evil manner. As well as that are some pummelling riffs throughout, dark breakdowns and more ecellent lyrics.
'The Dark' is another atmospheric interlude which fades into the monolithic 'Zero The Hero', which, to many fans, is the best song off the album. The song has an awesome chorus and some really great guitar soloing. 'Digital Bitch' is a cheesy but fun track- the lyrics are kinda dumb but cool. The title track is another strong point- it's dark and provides an immense chorus with Gillan singing like his life depended on it. 'Hot Line' is another heavy affair and album closer, 'Keep It Warm' is a metal ballad.
The biggest complaint about this album is the production job, which is of course, poor. But i've never had a problem with this as it just makes the album sound more raw than it is. An Gillan in Sabbath is, to me, one of the best post-Ozzy line-ups the band went through. Shame this was the only album they made, because Gillan proves he can do a good job in a heavy metal band as well as Purple and some of his own solo groups.
Born Again is a strange album, but a very, very good one. I love every minute of it, and I think most Sabbath fans should give it a chance. Any Deep Purple fan would enjoy it but for the hardcore Sabbath purists, it's best to be treated with caution.
