| Black Sabbath - Tyr Classification: Pop Band: Black Sabbath Tracks: - Anno Mundi (The Vision) - The Law Maker - Jerusalem - The Sabbath Stones - The Battle Of Tyr - Odin's Court - Valhalla - Feels Good To Me - Heaven In Black The best of Tony Martin in Black Sabbath This album to me is one of the better Sabbath albums put out. It lacks a little on a few tracks but over all is worth a look if you like later sabbath or Whitesnake (80's rock). Now on to my review: . . . 1. Anno-Mundi - Good start. Heavy song and Brings out Tony Martins vocals. 90% . . .2. The Law Maker - A not so good song but it is worth a listen. its a tad cheesey. 75% . . .3. Jerusalem - A fav. of mine. This song shows off both Tony Martin, Tony Iommi, and Neil Murry. Good 80's rock tune. 95% . . . 4. The Sabbath Stones - The Black Sabbath of the Tony Martin era! This song is so good. I wish Tony Martin had done more songs like this. Infact I wish the rest Band would have! 95% . . .5. The Battle Of Tyr - A Intro. It's sort of lame. 65% . . . 6. Odin's Court - I really think of this as the beginning of Valhalla. This is slow and builds up then...... 90% . . . 7. Valhalla - This is the best song on here! Loud Whitesnake sound but very powerful words. No way to say it better! 100% . . .8. Feels Good To Me - Sort of a softer more like Headless Cross song. Not bad tho. 90% . . .9. Heaven In Black - Also could have been off of Headless Cross. Not as good as "Feels Good To Me' but ok. 85% . . .If you like this album may I suggest the following: Black Sabbath-Headless Cross, Black Sabbath-Cross Purpose, Black Sabbath-Eternal Idol, Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath, and any Whitesnake album with Neil on it. Sabbath goes back to midieval days....and it works. In 1990, Black Sabbath looked like it was finally undergoing some stability. Stability that hadn't been with The Band since the Ozzy years. Tyr was the second album released by The Band with the lineup of Tony Iommi, Tony Martin, Cozy Powell, and Neil Murray. This collaboration had already produced a great album with Headless Cross and didn't produce such a bad follow-up. Tyr has sort of a midieval theme to it. Just look at the names of songs such as "Odin's Court" and "The Lawmaker" to see what I mean. The album starts out with the soothing, almost celestial voices that start out "Anno Mundi" which, in my opinion, is the second best song on the album. It then goes into the more upbeat and heavy "The Lawmaker" and procedes to go into such gems as "Jerusalem" and "The Sabbath Stones," which are both great songs. However, in my opinion, the best song on the album is "Valhalla." This song is a mystical tale about the satanic land of Valhalla. It has a very powerful chorus and an amazing guitar solo. Definitly one of My Favorite Sabbath songs. Despite the power of Tyr, this collaboration of Sabbath did not last for much longer. Iommi decided to reunite with ex-Sabbath members Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio, and Vinnie Appice for 1992's Dehuminizer album and tour.Although the Iommi, Martin, Powell, Murray version of Sabbath reunited for 1995's Forbidden, they could not match the power of Tyr. The best of Tony Martin in Black Sabbath Well I perfer to say 4.5 stars.This album to me is one of the better Sabbath albums put out. It lacks a little on a few tracks but over all is worth a look if you like later sabbath or Whitesnake (80's rock). Now on to my review: . . . 1. Anno-Mundi - Good start.
