The crowd noise is still frustratingly low in the mix but the playing is what draws you in, these new sonic polishes putting you right there in the action. Geezer Butler has referred to this album a few times in interviews as “Live in the Studio Evil”, a reference to a lot of the overdubs on it.

With this stunning new 40 th anniversary release, the album we always knew was there comes to fire breathing life, capturing the legendary band in full flight.
