Any rock fans out there?

I preordered Black Sabbath 13 album and received it on 6/11. All I can say is wow, Ozzy, Geezer and Tony hit a home run with this album. The music is all new, but in the traditional 'master of reality', "vol 4", self titled albums. The pressing is super quiet, 33, 2 album set. Bass and drums are fantastic on this pressing. The music and lyrics are great and in tradition of old Black Sabbath, "I don't believe that God is dead". Since I know I have to ask a question, my question is, are there any rock fans out there?

Martinmoblie: The drummer will be Tommy Clufetos. He plays in Ozzy's band and has played for Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, and Rob Zombie...

Martinmoble: Cool story. According to the band (Sabbath,) Bill Ward couldn't hack it on the drums. Look it up. Anyway, I like all those bands too. Some heavy metal and hard rock recordings from the 70s onward are surprisingly good sounding, as you probably know. I do like Classical and Jazz too. That's nice you have an audiophile society. I tried to get one going here
(Las Vegas,) and it was all talk no action.

@ Actusreus: You're welcome. Cool story. I agree about Tony Iommi...I hope to meet him and get his autograph one day. Easier said than done!

@ Captain_winters: I do have the UK WWA of 'Paranoid.' I found it to be better sound-wise than the WB green label. I also have 'Never Say Die!' on the UK Vertigo label. That sounds good too. All the other ones with Ozzy Osbourne on vocals I have on the Warner Brothers label. These are all originals, as far as I know. So, if '13' is that good, I will buy it. Hell, I was gonna buy it anyway! Now I have no doubts.

Oh ok, thanks for the explanation on that. Hmm...yeah, I just might have records like you described. What is your method for cleaning, may I ask?

Actusreus,

Thank you for that. Much appreciated.

Yes, there was. Then it was revealed that his drumming was not up to snuff. I'm surprised they even offered him anything after that was known!
