Can an Ozzy-fronted Black Sabbath make an album as good as "The Devil You Know"?

I'm going to pose a question to all of you metalheads. Do you think that Ozzy, if he were to reunite with the other members of Black Sabbath, would be able to put out anything close to the excellent Heaven and Hell release, The Devil You Know?

It almost seems like blasphemy for me to even ask this, after the death of the legend that is Ronnie James Dio. However, it's likely going to happen, assuming Ozzy makes it to the recording sessions (which hopefully he will, don't get me wrong).

While I think another Black Sabbath reunion could be cool, I don't know if a new album with Ozzy's 'processed' vocal styling of today, would go over as well. Maybe I'm just biased towards Dio though...

Below are examples of each band's latest work. And feel free to voice your opinion and leave a comment.

Heaven and Hell - "Fear"


Ozzy Osbourne - "Diggin' Me Down"

Heaven and Hell Select "Follow the Tears" as New Single

Rock on! Good tune and great live clip of it below. The guys may not have the same energy they used to, but you have to admit Dio sounds damn good and the new tunes do too.

Heaven and Hell's latest is "The Devil You Know".

Ride the Tiger: Heaven and Hell Cover Art

Check out the new Heaven and Hell album cover. They could have easily gone and made it cheesy, but instead it is a pretty sinister piece of art.

The Devil You Know will be unleashed to the masses on April 28. I can't wait!

The first single off the album is said to be the song Bible Black. Check out the complete tracklisting here.
