Album Notes & Community Reviews
Continuing their triumphant revitalization with vocalist Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath's 'Mob Rules' is a relentlessly heavy, incredibly dark masterclass in traditional metal. Driven by Tony Iommi's sludgy, monolithic riffs and Dio's soaring, fantasy-driven lyricism, the album is a fiercely energetic and deeply passionate collection of epic, sombre anthems.
