Mob Rules catches Black Sabbath at full gallop in the Ronnie James Dio years, and this 2CD deluxe edition, a UK import, brings the band's 1981 album back with every thunderclap intact.
Coming off the reinvention of Heaven and Hell, Sabbath had a new singer, a renewed sense of purpose and, by now, a new drummer in Vinny Appice, who stepped in for Bill Ward. Producer Martin Birch, fresh from shaping some of the era's biggest metal records, kept the sound huge and the edges sharp. The result is a record that many fans rate as the equal of its predecessor, darker in places and every bit as hungry.
Tony Iommi's riffs do the heavy lifting from the first bar of "Turn Up the Night," a speeding opener built for raised fists. "The Sign of the Southern Cross" slows things to an ominous crawl, Dio's voice soaring over Geezer Butler's bass like a storm rolling in, while the eerie instrumental "E5150" leads straight into the snarling title track, "The Mob Rules."
There is no filler here, just nine songs of heavyweight craft from a band that refused to coast on its legend.
Play it loud and let Dio's wizardry and Iommi's thunder remind you why this lineup still inspires such devotion.
