The original Black Sabbath line-up signed off in style with Never Say Die!, their eighth studio album, presented here on CD.
Released in 1978, it was the final studio album featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward together until their reunion decades later. Recorded during a turbulent period, the album finds the band stretching beyond their trademark doom with jazz touches, horns and keyboards, leading to a sound that is more varied and adventurous than its reputation suggests.
The title track "Never Say Die" is a punchy, upbeat rocker with a big, defiant chorus. "Johnny Blade" mixes synth flourishes with gritty storytelling about a street-corner tough, while "A Hard Road" rides a stomping, communal singalong chorus that sounds like a band refusing to give up. "Air Dance" drifts into jazzy, piano-led territory few would expect from Sabbath.
Iommi's riffs remain heavy and inventive throughout, and Butler and Ward lock into grooves that swing as much as they crush. Don Airey's keyboards add colour without ever softening the blow.
For fans exploring the full arc of the Ozzy years, Never Say Die! is a fascinating, overlooked closing chapter that rewards a fresh listen with its sheer variety and spirit.
