Специальное издание BLACK SABBATH, получившее название "The End", будет продаваться эксклюзивно на концертах финального тура, стартующего на следующей неделе.

The end tour is underway right now and Black Sabbath gave those who went to see them live a little parting gift. This EP is a hard to come by gem of an album that I was lucky enough to get ahold of. As they opened the gates to the United Center in Chicago, I raced to the merchant counter and snagged one copy of The End for myself. Having the physical copy is a dream come true and I am glad I didn't have to resort to listening to a bootleg copy.
As far as the music goes, we get doom and gloom old school Sabbath once again. If you have heard 13, you will know how these songs would sound. Iommi's signature guitar doom, Geezer’s distorted bass and Ozzy’s signature vocal style. The four new songs made available all have their highlights and easily could have been on 13. Season of the Dead is a heavy and gloomy tale of war akin to War Pigs. I think it could have fit but people would have criticized it for being an updated version of War Pigs. Cry All Night, is a fantastic song with a great melody thanks to Ozzy. Take Me Home shows the band going back to their creative roots when the song takes a total left turn into an acoustic guitar solo that is stunningly beautiful. It helps to balance out all of the heavy and depressing Iommi riffs. Those are about all of the highlights as Isolated Man is by far the worst song. Nothing about it is memorable and is best relegated to a B-side track.
The second half is just fine, but it doesn't merit very many listens. Hearing live tracks from the last tour is not very exciting. Since I have watched and listened to Gathered In Their Masses, it is safe to say that these 4 live tracks are essentially cut from the same cloth. There is not much else to say about the live tracks. Maybe I would have been more impressed if they did a live DVD so there is something visual to watch. These songs are just thrown in to fill space and make it seem like a more cohesive release.There is no need to cry, so wipe away the tears, buying this little relic is worth it if you see them live. 30 bucks is no big deal if you love the band. It is 51 minutes of previously unheard material and there is no guarantee that this release will see a worldwide market. It far from essential unless you plan on seeing them live and love anything that the band releases.The big question is will this be the actual end for Sabbath or will this be the final parting gift? It is far from perfect, but it is the fathers of heavy metal we are talking about!
