5 out of 5 stars Great Music, Not Black Sabbath   October 6, 2009
Fred Rayworth (Las Vegas, NV United States)
We bought this album in the 80's and quickly figured it was a Tony Iommi solo album. In fact, it never should have been strapped with the Black Sabbath title, because I think that unfairly biased many people against what is a very good album.

After two decades, I burned it to CD so I could listen to it on my long commute to work. After giving it a fair listen, I must say I like it a lot better than when I first heard it. Back then, I was also expecting something in the vein of Black Sabbath and was likely disappointed and shelved it. Now I'm glad I have given it another go.

I had no idea Tony Iommy was such a good guitarist! I mean, he would do a bit of soloing here and there among the drudgy riffing of Sabbath, but I was surprised he could really cut it with more standard metal. The songs here are full of his riffs and lots of jamming. This is a guitar player's album and I now have a much greater appreciation for his guitar and songwriting skills.

After listening to it several times, I have no specific favorite cut as they all have their merits. This was quite a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended.



4 out of 5 stars Not Black Sabbath, but.....   September 9, 2009
R. F Farine (Delmont, PA)
...who cares? I grew up with Ozzy-era Sabbath, and did not buy another Sabbath album after he left. I am not a fan of Heavy Metal anymore, but I AM a Tony Iommi fan, and what this is, is a Tony Iommi CD. The lyrics are typical HM sclock, but Iommi's playing is great.


3 out of 5 stars Seventh Star was really a solo project   August 19, 2009
C. Terrell (Hawaii, USA)
This album was never meant to be a "Black Sabbath" album. It was named as such late in the recording process. Fans were expecting a typical Sabbath approach and some were dissappointed. When you look at is as the solo project it was meant to be and give the songs a chance, you will discover a really tight well recorded album. Several tracks are very catchy. If you like a bluesy feel, then "Heart Like A Wheel" will appeal to you. No Stranger To Love is the real star here though several others are certainly worthy of a listen as well. Don't expect classic Sabbath and you will find an enjoyable album.


4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good   July 29, 2009

I waited several years before breaking down and finally purchasing SEVENTH STAR, which is really a Tony Iommi solo release. The record company insisted that the BLACK SABBATH name be attached to this album, in the hopes of generating more sales. Well, this album didn't need much help, and for those who like hard rock/metal of the mid-eighties, then this one's for you. Not only do the songs pack a punch, but the sound is awesome, and it deserves praise. Glenn Hughes is on vocals, and does a stellar job. The songs, "No Stranger to Love" and Danger Zone are the standouts. Danger Zone is my favorite from the album, with its catchy riffs. The songs transition well, and it's a quality release overall. This album sounds NOTHING like Black Sabbath, but it still rocks. I recommend this album for purchase--you won't be disappointed. 8/10

This is a very good CD. Don't let anyone tell you different. Buy it. You won't be sorry. Tony rips on this one, and Glenn sings his heart out. Eric Singer on drums. Come on.
