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?

My copy of "13" was delivered yesterday. :)

You beat me to it Captain.....I was just about to report their No.1 success. :)
Incredible that a group of aged 60+ heavy metal rockers can achieve this.
Their contemporaries must be thinking hard?!?!?

Moonglum,
How is the quality of the recording and vinyl?

Cheers! Aging rockers unite! 50+ year old headbanger here. Just ordered "13" myself off Amazon. 3/4's of 'Sabbath is well worth the wait, but I'd have liked to see Bill Ward on this project. Iommi is the master of riffage.
Note: They are touring NOW! Just snagged my tickets to see them at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, (California...for those of you not familiar with the venue)
I wonder who will be on the drum kit for the tour? Vinnie Appice?

Rock, definitely, but not much metal. I like a lot of what I hear, but I don't generally buy. My listening levels are different at 60 than they were in my 20's when I was trying to match the volume of my Orange half-stack (my stereo amp then was a Mac 2300).

Does playing in a rock band count?

It was 110 degrees in that space when we played this show...
