Black Sabbath - Never Say Die! (1978/Warner Brothers)
Rating - 3.5

This disc picks up right where the last one left off -- meaning that it’s pretty damn awful. The title song has a nice flow, and has been covered a few times on tribute discs. But what follows is a menagerie of putrid tracks that leave you wondering what in the world happened to the band that brought you "Paranoid," "N.I.B.," and "War Pigs," because this sure ain’t it.
Ozzy’s swansong with the band ends on a low note; cue his uber-successful solo career, please.
