Good morning! For your entertainment this fine day, please check out Rock Daydream Nation’s epic analysis of Black Sabbath’s controversial Born Again LP. Is this album hot or not? Long time readers know my feeling on this subject. Ian Gillan of Deep Purple fame joined Black Sabbath’s otherwise-original lineup to record the weirdest sounding albums in Sabbath history. It could also be their heaviest, most evil sounding album with some of Ian’s most perplexing lyrics ever.
Born Again has been seen in a better light over the decades, but I still receive much mockery when I tell people how high I rank it. Will our panel today agree with me?
Joining Peter and I are a special Rock Daydream Nation YouTube panel featuring Reed Little, John Gaffney (Alchemist of Rock), and Brandon Battick (Disturbing the Priest).
Saturday 17 January at 8 AM EST! Join us!

I couldn’t catch all of this but I dig what everyone says about “Disturbing the Priest.” I saw Sabbath when they were on tour for this album and it was a fantastic show!

At first it felt weird but Sabbath played it well.

I think so too (from bootlegs) and I think it was the best possible choice of Purple songs to do, and I think it’s right that they did one.

It is the one song everyone associates with Deep Purple, so yes, it was a good choice.

I always felt the riff suited Tony.
