Black Sabbath – Never Say Die (1978) (@256) http://i38.tinypic.com/k46rmg.jpg
(Review from wikipedia, progarchives.com) After the tour for "Technical Ecstasy" Ozzy quit the band. Former Fleetwood Mac and Savoy Brown vocalist Dave Walker was brought into rehearsals in October 1977 and the band began working on new songs. Three days before the band were due to go into the studio, Ozzy wanted to come back to the band. He wouldn't sing any of the stuff the band had written with the other guy, so it made it very difficult. Black Sabbath went into the studio with basically no songs. They'd write in the morning so they could rehearse and record at night. It was so difficult, like a conveyor belt, because the band couldn't get time to reflect on stuff. It was very difficult for Iommi to come up with the ideas and putting them together that quick. The band's last album of the 70s, "Never Say Die" has it's own qualities and distinct sound which sets it apart from all previous Black Sabbath albums. Perhaps the most glaring example of this is the instrumental "Breakout" which sounds more like the Stan Kenton Orchestra than the kings of metal. "Air Dance" touches on other jazzy progressions which had lalways been subetly present on even ther heaviest of Sabbath numbers. The rhythmical "Hard Road" features vocal harmonies by Butler and Iommi for the first time while "Johnny Bade" gets as dark as the band ever were. "Shock Wave" is a straight rocker with some cool wah wahed out guitar. Don Airey shines with his Hammond organ in "Over to You". Just like in their previous album, Bill Ward takes over vocals on a single track, "Swinging The Chain". The pop metal title track "Never Say Die" put the band on the charts for the first time since 1970's Paranoid. However tongue-in-cheek "Never Say Die" might be, it is an interesting record which should be taken on it's own rather than compared to Black Sabbath's earlier material including the previous "Technical Ecstacy". Following the tour of the album, Black Sabbath spent nearly a year working on material for the next album. With pressure from the record label, and frustrations with Osbourne's lack of ideas coming to a head, Iommi made the decision to fire Ozzy Osbourne in 1979.
