| 1. War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds...Oh lor |

Великолепный концертник великолепной группы Black Sabbath, добравшейся-таки до своих поклоников в самом что ни на есть классическом составе. Были исполнены все самые культовые вещи, навсегда изменившие тяжёлый рок и не только, очень жаль, что не была исполнена ни одна композиция с прекрасного альбома "Sabotage", уж хотя бы "Symptom Of The Universe" можно было сыграть, интересно было бы услышать, как бы Тони взял сложное соло в этой песне. Кстати, нельзя не отметить, что ребятами были удачно и свежо исполнены монстры "Children Of The Grave" и "Paranoid".
Хочу также отметить, что Оззи взял почти все высокие партии, его голос звучал очень мощно, скажем тот же Йан Гиллан несколько хуже воспроизводит теперь старинные хиты Deep Purple, порадовал и Айомми, в очередной раз доказав, что он - великолепный гитарист, не теряющий былых кондиций, здорово сыграли и Уард, и Батлер, придавшие музыке всю былую мощь. На протяжении всего диска чувствуется атмосфера, присущая выступлениям именно Black Sabbath.
Звучание нисколько не изменилось, также классическое. Что очень радует, так это то, что не прибегая ни к каким современным фишкам по утяжелению или модернизации звучания, Black Sabbath удалось спустя 30 лет сделать свою музыку всё такой же актуальной, хочу подчеркнуть, именно музыку.
Покупайте этот концертник - не пожалеете! |

Бутлег содержит концерт, данный по случаю воссоединения команды Black Sabbath c "отступником" Оззи Озборном - отсюда и название ("Reunion"). На выступлении покрытой славой группы прозвучали основные ее бессмертные хиты раннего периода - "War Pigs", "Electric Funeral", "Black Sabbath", "Spiral Architect", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" и, конечно же, бессмертный "Paranoid". Голос Озборна иногда выпирает над всеми инструментальными партиями. Атмосфера Black Sabbath здесь присутствует, но не в таком объеме, как прежде (наверно, музыканты отвыкли от стиля друг друга и к моменту концерта не до конца сыгрались). Обложка - в характерном для Black Sabbath "демонском" стиле. Вообще, концертные записи весьма трудно оценивать - чтобы ощутить концертную музыку в полном смысле этого слова, нужно на самом концерте присутствовать. А в целом, если оценивать наравне с остальными, мы получили весьма добротный live. |

Живой альбом легенды металла, рок-н-нолла, музыки вообще. Концерт проходил в родном городе комманды - Бирмингеме, потому дядьки выложились на все сто. Оззи, как ни странно, вытягивает все высокие, Тони уразнообразил гитарные партии в нескольких песнях. Просто супер, лучшего концертника я еще не слыхал. Радует также наличие 2-х студийных трэков - чудесная работа - технично, с драйвом.

Покрытые плесенью BS воссоединилось, но сподобились лишь на запись банального концертника. Безусловно, что патриархи тяжелого рока хотели выглядеть пристойно, но все их попытки разбились о скалу времени, которая отделяет участников команды с момента ухода из BS Оззи. Воссоздать былой саунд оказалось “сэббэтам” не под силу. Для этого достаточно послушать хотя бы “Fairies Wear Boots”. Да, группа сподобилась на запись абсолютно новых “Psycho Man” и “Selling My Soul”, но в них больше пахнет Оззи Осборном, чем BS.
Вообще, удачный концертник - штука достаточно редкая. И то, что сделали BS, пример того, каким не должен быть live. Мало того, что не удалось передать атмосферу концерта, так еще все четверо вышли не сцену, мягко говоря, не сыгравшись. Вот и получилось - кто в лес, а кто по дрова. В доброй половине песен Оззик попросту забивает своим вокалам инструментальные потуги своих коллег (слушаем “Sweet Leaf”). Ладно, если бы он пел при этом прилично, а не как получиться: устало, без сучка и задоринки, не дотягивая почти во всех вещах. Тони Йомми выглядит слишком вялым, а Билл Уорд колошматит по барабанам словно это его сольное выступление, а не в составе группы. Лишь один “Гизер” на пару со своим басом выглядит более-менее презентабельно (и это с его-то здоровьем).
Если этим альбомом BS пытались доказать всему миру, что они на что-то способны, то можем их “поздравить” - попытка не удалась. Благодаря “Reinion”, стало окончательно ясно, что удел “сэббэтов” - пополнить, многочисленный и без них, легион групп “пенсионного” возраста. Грустно... |

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait `till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning,
as you hear the bodies burning.
No more war pigs of the power,
hand of god has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, god is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings...Oh lord, yeah!
2. Behind The Wall Of Sleep
Precious cups within the flower
Deadly petals with strange power
Faces shine a deadly smile
Back up on you at your trial
Chill and numbs from head to toe
Icy sun with frosty glow
Why'd you go reaching your sorrow?
Why'd you go read no tomorrow
Feel your spirit rise with the priest
Feel your body falling to its knees
Take your walk of remorse
Take your body to a corpse
Take your body to a corpse
Take your body to a corpse
If you want all remorse
Take your body to a corpse
Now from darkness, there springs light
Wall of Sleep is cold and bright
Wall of Sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in, you are awoken
3. N.I.B.
Oh yeah!
Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Living the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me `till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh yeah!
Follow me now and you will not regret
Living the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me `till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
Oh yeah!
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
4. Fairies Wear Boots
Goin' home, late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah I looked through a window and surprised what I saw
Fairy wear boots and dancin' with a dwarf, all right now!
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, all right now!
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, all right now!
So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
`cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."
Yeah......
5. Electric Funeral
Reflex in the sky,
warn you you're gonna die
Storm coming, you'd better hide
from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky,
turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay,
radiation minds decay
Robot minds of robot slaves,
lead them to atomic rage
Plastic flowers, melting sun,
fading moon falls upon
Dying world of radiation,
victims of mad frustration
Burning globe of oxy'n fire,
like electric funeral pyre
Buildings crashing down
to a cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood,
ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed,
clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away,
here's the burning pay
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
And so in the sky,
shines the electric eye
Supernatural king,
takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings,
Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell,
ever trapped in burning cells!
6. Sweet Leaf
Alright now!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you didn't realize
And I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
I love you
Oh you know it
My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me showed me around
My life is free now my life is clear
I love you Sweet Leaf though you can't hear
Come on now
Try it out
Straight people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you Sweet Leaf
7. Spiral Architect
Sorcerers of madness, selling me their time
Child of god sitting in the sun giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction on a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman, even fathers cry
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see my world
And know that it is good
You know that I should
Superstitious century, didn't time go slow
Separating sanity, watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker, spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans in disquise
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should
Watching eyes of celluloid tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay - give, give, give!
Laughter kissing, love is showing me the way
Spiral city architect, I build - you pay
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good
You know that I should...
8. Into The Void
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the night sky they blast
Through the universe the engines whine
Could it be the end of man and time
Back on earth the flame of life burns low
Everywhere is misery and woe
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea
Man prepares to meet his destiny
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the black sky so vast
Burning metal through the atmosphere
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide
Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits
Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in the grave
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness is everyday
9. Snowblind
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain
Something blowing in my head
Winter's ice, it soon will spread
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow
Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turns my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
10. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
You've seen right through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reason why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reason why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
You bastards!
Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burns out confusion
Nothing more to tell
Everything around you
What's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
Bogblast all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you
11. Orchid
[Instrumental]
12. Lord Of This World
You're searching for your mind don't know where to start
Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill but you will not find a cure
Your world was made for you by someone above
But you chose evil ways instead of love
You made me master of the world where you exist
The soul I took from you was not even missed
Lord of this world
Evil possessor
Lord of this world
He's your confessor...now!
You think you're innocent, you've nothing to fear
You don't know me you ??? isn't it clear
You turn to me all your worldly creed and pride
But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die
13. Dirty Women
The neon lights are shining on me again
I walk the lonely streets in search of a friend
I need a lady to help me to get through the night, through the night
If I could find her then everything would be alright
The sleepy city is dreaming the night time away
Out on the street I watch tomorrow becoming today
I see a man, he's got take away women for sale, yes for sale
Guess that's the answer, `cause take away women don't fail
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around
You've got me coming, you've got me going around
Oh, dirty women, they don't mess around
Walking the streets I wonder will it ever happen
Gotta be good `cause then everything will be O.k.
If I could score tonight then I will end up happy
A woman for sale is gonna help me save my day...
Dirty women...
14. Black Sabbath
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo....
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming `round the bend
People running `cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!
15. Iron Man
I am Iron Man.
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
16. Children Of The Grave
Revolution in their minds, the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world, listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave
Or you children of today are Children of the Grave, Yeah!
17. Paranoid
Finished with my woman `cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me?
Occupy my brain?
Oh, yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
18. Psycho Man
The midnight hour approaches
The killing chill takes over him
His victims will not know when he appears
The lust of deaths possesion
Will over take his psycho mind
He won't be happy till he smells their fear
(He's the angel of death, angel of death)
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
(He's the angel of death, angel of death)
Looking for a victim wherever he can
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
He's the killer
Addicted to the madness
The taste of death that lives within
He loves it when he takes their final breath
Stalking gives him pleasure
Killing is the final act
He takes no pity with his lust for death
(He's the angel of death, angel of death)
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
(He's the angel of death, angel of death)
Looking for a victim wherever he can
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
He's the killer
Playing in his twilight zone
He knows that he's the best
Creeping through the streets alone
Till he finds his victims next
Killing gives him pleasure
Sleeping gives him pain
The only time he's feeling good
Is when he's killed and killed again
When he's killed again
When he's killed again
When he's killed again
When he's killed again
When he's killed again
When he's killed again
Watch out!
He's the angel of death, angel of death
He's the angel of death, angel of death
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
Looking for a victim wherever he can
Psycho Man, Psycho Man
He's the killer
He's the killer
19. Selling My Soul
Man of madness
Who lives in my head
Keeping me awake at night, he sits on my bed
He drives me crazy he won't go away
Playing his game every night and every day
Yeah
My mind feels heavy
My body feels weak
Suicidal thoughts crying out for some sleep
Impending doom is what I'm about
Think I'm going out without a shadow of doubt
I search for serenity yeah
Is it really out there?
I don't read the holy books cause
They take me no where
I can't hold on yes I'm losing control
I'm paying the price now for
Selling my soul, selling my soul
I search for serenity, yeah
Is it really out there?
I don't read the holy books cause
They take me no where
I can't hold on yes I'm losing control
I'm paying the price now for
Selling my soul, selling my soul
Yeah, selling my soul
Yeah, selling my soul
Yeah, for selling my soul
