All excellent albums indeed. I love Sabotage. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath used to be my favourite Sabbath album as well, but now I think it's either Master of Reality or Black Sabbath. I've got the first 6 albums and Heaven and Hell. I really would like to get some more though, even though the first 6 are by far the best from what I've heard and been told, it would be good still to hear more.

Is Mob Rules any good, anyone? I'd like some more Dio fun.

I'd really like to check out Tyr properly actually - I've heard the track Anno Mundi, and although it sounds like a TOTALLY different band, it was still pretty epic and catchy in quite a cheesy way (which is good in this case).

I really like it. Totally unsabbathy sounding, but a great album. Tony Martin sure can sing! It destroys Dehumaniser. Literally destroys it.

Yes, the title track, turn up the night, sign of the southern cross, all excellent tracks!!!!

Excellent. As my phone bill is particularly cheap this month and the albums only six quid on hmv.co.uk (praise the nus discount!), I thought I may as well order it. This will hopefully give me the extra dio fun I've been craving lately. Also, I'll need to know more Dio-era Sabbath stuff anyway before I go and see Heaven and Hell!

My five favourate Ozzy sabbath songs are.....

Black Sabbath
Sweet Leaf
Children Of the Grave
War Pigs
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

I think I'd agree with any top 5 songs from the first 6 albums that weren't fx or changes...

Fuck, I never remember to look into this!! What sort of saving does the card get you?

£40 off everything. Regardless if price. It was great in the sale. I got 10 cds and £350...

But in all honesty, you get 10% off. You need to get a card in store first by showing your student card. Well worth doing though.

Indeed. And if you go into your account details on the website, you just put the card number in and bob's your father. I think you can actually just use your nus card on the site though rather than having to go into a shop for the real hmv student card, because I remember being able to put my normal nus card number in.

I'm looking forward to receiving this cd. Lovely.

Oh right.. well I don't have an NUS card

It's the guitar solo's in that song that do it for me. I get a boner everytime I hear them.

So I finally got my Mob Rules CD this morning. What a fantastic album. Sign of the Southern Cross is amazing!

Unfortunately I got the original version instead of the remastered one. It doesn't make much difference, but it's a bit of an upset because it doesn't match the spines of my other remastered Sabbath albums.
