Fused Sanctuary Records available on November 20 2014 from Amazon for $95.00Now, before people start to critize my review please hear me out. Many of the following reviewers are jumping on the Glenn Hughes bandwagon stating in their reviews that Hughes is giving it his all on this CD, and this is the hardest Glenn Hughes has ever sounded, and what not . Now unless you were born yesterday or this is the only other time you've heard Glenn singing outside of his Deep Purple days, this isnt the heaviest Glenn has sounded nor is it the best lyrically Glenn has ever written for that matter. Don't get me wrong, I like this CD, the first noticeable thing I hear is it's very Sabbath musically. This release has been tauted as the whole desert as to the icing on the cake that was re-released last year from Glenn Hughes and Tony Iommi, the 1996 DEP sessions. Personally I prefer that release moreso than this. Yes, it was only 8 songs long, but it featured Glenn and Tony at their melodic best, full of melody, passion, playing energetic, beautiful music that the 2...

| Tony Iommi, the driving force behind Black Sabbath for so many years has a new album out. It's brilliant - but that should be no surprise to anyone who is a fan of his. This is the third collaboration between Tony & former Deep Purple and Sabbath singer Glenn Hughes. Let's get to it... 1. Dopamine - The opening of a new album of Tony Iommi riffs. It's like the needle going into the vein (not that I know what that means, I'm just using a metaphor). Interesting that the subject of the lyrics is a "drug" produced by one's own body. Anyway, it very much sounds like a traditional Tony Iommi riff and song. Good way to open the album, even if it's not my favorite track on the album. 2. Wasted Again - Hmm.. Based solely on the titles, this is an interesting one to follow "Dopamine". This is a slower song, although not "slow" - slower in comparison to Dopamine. It does feature some good "screaming vocals" by Glenn Hughes. It's one of those tracks I like, but I can't... | 6 | ||
| When I got this Cd home and played it, I was more than amazed to listen to the quality of the recording. I mean, it sounded amazing. I expected Tony's guitar to sound kinda vintage (not to say a bit old) and I was certainly surprised to listen to a very moderon quality guitar work. The best of all, it still sounds like Mr. Iommi.About the tracks, they're simply amazing. There's not a single song in this album that I have to skip, as every single song follows the scheme of the album and fits in perfectly, still having it's own to provide to the listener. I must confess that as soon as Dopamine finished I had to repeat it, it was just raw and powerful. Same with all the CD, the songs are simply excellent, most of them are moderate or slow, but anybody who has ever loved songs by Black Sabbath will enjoy the songs in Fused.About the singing by Glenn Hughes... words can barely describe it. It's simply amazing and full of energy. He can hit very high notes (perhaps... | 8 | ||
