New Black Sabbath? Oh it's going to be dreadful, guys. Sure, older artists releasing new music isn't quite as much of a doomed prospect as it used to be (Public Image Limited, Killing Joke, Swans, Neil Young & Crazy Horse) but it's Sabbath. They really don't have the best of luck with "reinventions".

In other news I am making an effort to like genres I formerly didn't and, thusfar, it's proving to be a smashing success. I now "get" pop punk and J-Pop. Now we move on to the real challenge; power metal. Actually I'm overstating how difficult it'll be, I already like Helloween and Iced Earth so I've got a foot in the door. Will you gents help me out?
