Their latest album "13", and yes, released last year.

I'm a Sabbath fan from way back. Was surprised how decent "13" was.

Sounds like Sabbath...

I really wanted to like this, but when "God is Dead?" got some airplay here last year, I just couldn't get into it.

Haven't heard the rest of the album though...might be better?

I absolutely love Sabbath through Sabotage, and of course Heaven and Hell, otherwise...not so much.

'God is Dead' is actually one of the worst songs on this album IMHO.
I don't care for it much.
This album has more of that "plodding along" Sabbath style from the middle albums; not bad plodding just distinctly Sabbath bass-line driven stuff.
The faster tracks are not rehashed BS but strikingly fresh - considering how old these dudes are.
My only real complaint on this album is that Ozzy, sounding clear and in command of the vocals, needed some more Sabbath processing "touch" on a few of the tracks.
The vocal tracks on a couple of the songs sound too front & center flat - if that makes any sense. Not bad "flat" but more, misplaced in the sound-field, similar to some
of Ozzy's solo albums.

I liked "13." A couple of songs from that album made it to some recent mix tapes I recorded for a few members not long ago.

There's also the fact that I was listening to it on my commute. That always has an effect for me.
