Jul 6, 2020 · Classic Rock. Black Sabbath: Never Say Die! - Album Of The Week Club review. Black Sabbath's Never Say Die! arrived as the band's original line-up began to disintegrate. History has not been kind, but will our reviewers find more to enjoy? By Classic Rock. published 6 July 2020. (Image: © Vertigo Records)
The opening track, the title track “Never Say Die”, is actually a pretty good song. The riff is solid and the chorus is memorable. It pretty much goes in line with everything you want from Black Sabbath, albeit more simplistic than usual. My favorite song on the album though is the second song, “Johnny Blade”.
The album received mixed reviews, with critics calling it "unbalanced" and insisting its energy was scattered in too many directions. [9] Recording. At the time of the recording of Never Say Die! the members of Black Sabbath were all heavily involved in drug and alcohol abuse.

And where Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was a band digging deep during difficult times and getting results, Never Say Die is Black Sabbath as a spent creative force, using, as they did on Technical Ecstasy, bizarre experimental excursions that feel more like papering over the cracks than any real sign of progress (the intro to Johnny Blade sounds like ...
Never Say Die! This is a great tune, really upbeat, fun, and the lyrics have no real warning, only a sort of poke at superstition, "Don't you ever say die!". It contains some great instrumental work, and Ozzie's vocals are top notch. This is a great way to open an album, as it is packed with fast attitude and it grabs the listener. 4/5. 2.)
Never Say Die!, for all of its faults, is an incredibly underrated record that has a real basement quality to it. There’s something particularly raw in Iommi’s guitar sound, while Geezer Butler’s tumbling bass and Ward’s drums seem sewn together – albeit hastily – with Ozzy’s worn-out yawn… and yet I’m intrigued by it all.
