The first Lions Share release. This album brings you right into the
world of Black Sabbath, and I'm reffering to the world
without Ozzy. To be more exact I could say "Headless Cross". That says
it all. It's obvious that Andy Engberg is a fan of both Ronnie James Dio
and Tony Martin, so I take for granted that he enjoys listening to Black
Sabbath. The songs are not just a reminder of Sabbath, but they've got
that little extra spice to it. Lars Chriss' riffs are not what Tony
Iommi would have done. They are more complexive, and usually are
followed by Kolebergs mystical rythms. Progressive Sabbath, to sum
it.
When it comes to comparing this album and the second release, I think
I'll say that this one is the better one, even if the bad is more
together on "II". On this one I can point out a few tracks that are
really good and quickly became favourites of mine, but on the other
album there are only two tracks that I really like. Of course, all
tracks on both albums are good enough to listen to and do belong in your
collection but this one has got a better average.
I bought these two albums mainly because of Andy Engberg (vocals), since
I've always enjoyd that kind of power singer. As I said before it's
obvious that he's a fan of Dio, and Tony Martin. In fact he sounds like
both of them, but still not. Hard to explain, but one thing's for sure.
Andy Engberg is one of the best vocalists of todays' Sweden.
