This is the rarest Black Sabbath cd out there from 1989, that I have seen. Most people do not have copies of it anymore, so it has become very valuable and high priced. I like it, and it has that Dio feel, with a smoother paced guitar sound, that is not as hard as the Dio, Ozzy, or even the Ian Gillen versions of Sabbath. The coolest song on it is the title song "Headless Cross". I prefer the Dio and Ozzy versions of Sabbath more, since I am more used to them, but if you listen to this cd often, you probably will like it just the same as the other versions of the group that I have just mentioned. If you going to get a copy of it soon on cd, you better get it, because it is becoming rarer and rarer as time goes by, and I do not think that they will release another version of it.
Headless Cross seems to have been missed by a mass amount of people's radar. It should not be missed. The album is well put together. Some have said it was not truely Black Sabbath, as Tony was the only original member. Another critique I have heard is that the lyrics are too dark. As for the lyrics comments... this is Black Sabbath not Stryper. Sure there at times it is a bit over the top (a.k.a. they jump the shark). When Black Sabbath changed their name from Earth (back in '68 or '69) it was for the allure noticed with "occult" themes. Black Sabbath, Metallica, Mercyful Fate... are the elite of dark. The line-up was Black Sabbath in 1989. Tony Iommi, Cozy Powell on drums, Geoff Nicholls on keys, Laurence Cottle on bass & Tony Martin singing. These musicians put together a great heavy album... which deserves many spins/listens.Read full review
This is great Sabbath with Tony Martin but it’s not remastered as advertised. So now I have 2 of the same.

If you don't have this, get it! If you can find it for a decent price. Underrated Sabbath album that is essential in their catalogue.
