Black Sabbath--Mob Rules (1981) Rating--8.0 **U.S. Sales Certification--Gold**

---

A bit better than the previous, as Dio and company come right back at you full force with the opening "Turn Up The Night," and then kick right in with the bass thumping "Voodoo". A stronger influence of Dio is shown here, with the slow yet churning pieces of magic he calls home. "Mob Rules" should be right up there with "Iron Man" in classic metal stardom... Read on...
Highlights-- The title song has one of those riffs...you can't stand still...your blood presure goes sky-high....I think you know where I'm going with this! "Voodoo" is non-stop Geezer, who shows he can still pound the strings with the best of the NWOBHM four-stringers. Don't forget, all you Ozzy-only faithful: "If you listen to fools....."
