well I kinda liked Cross Purposes... When I first heard it, it was a bitter disappointment...I was expecting something like Headles Cross (even the title suggests it), but after the initial shock, it grew on me and now I can say that it's a good album...75/100. But, if you want to point out a HORRID album with "the Cat" singing on it, it has to be FORBIDDEN....man such a crap...it seems like Butler finally got his ideas across...Tony Martin had a concert in Romania, and in a interview, he also said that FORBIDDEN is one of the biggest low-points in his career. And,by the way, he also sang The Headless Cross that night, but he sounded horrible...he couldn't hit ANY of the higher notes during the chorus, and he also sounded strained and out of breath during the verses.... such a shame, I love this man's voice...
Yep, one of my fav and I believe the most uderrated vocalists. Headless Cross is one of my fav albums, so is Dehumanizer. I think Dio, Martin and Gillan are fantastic vocalists. I luved Forbidden too. If you have to ask me, I'd say that Cross Purposes is the weakest Sabbath album that I've heard that has Martin in it. I initially din't like the album, but it slowly grew on me. I wouldn't say it's bad, I'd give it 70/100. But the other Sabbath albums that I've heard would get much more. Oh yeah, I'm not too big a fan of Sabbath with Ozzy. I know that places me with the minority. But who cares
