The 1996 DEP Sessions – What The Critics Said
…it allows Iommi to show his diversity, and beautifully showcases that
tremendous Hughes passion and power. This is a classy, mature album, with the
dynamic ‘From Another World’, the soulful ‘Don’t Drag The River’ and the
slippery ‘I’m Not The Same Man’ among the brilliant highlights.
Classic Rock – December 2004
It’s a ballsy set of melodic metal that actually manages the seemingly
impossible task of melding Iommi’s grinding metal with Hughes’ more funked-up
70s rock. 8/10
Metal Hammer – December 2004
Few people in rock history can boast a finer voice than Hughes, while Iommi’s
familiarly dense, cold-as-ice riffs displayed on songs like “Gone” and “Time Is
The Healer” do not disappoint.
Kerrang – 25th September 2004
…as a source of stealable riffs it’s a must.
Guitar & Bass – December 2004
Hughes has an excellent rock voice and manages to be loud or harmonious as
required and Iommi of course is a guitarist who blazed a path that others
followed, so it’s not surprising that this is a quality package. Well worth a
listen.
Congleton Chronicle – 8th October 2004
…this album just screams “quality” at you from the moment you press the play
button….Here’s a suggestion for all those so-called ‘guitar-based’ bands that
are constantly churning out three chord dross – listen to this album and weep;
this is how it should be done. *****
Burton Mail – 16th October 2004
Classic stuff.
Daily Star Sunday – 26th September 2004
I friggin’ love this thing – all of it, the heavy stuff, the ballads, the
variety, and mostly because of the sold songs, Hughes’ multi-hued vocals, and
the warm, perfect production. Not one duff track. 9 (out of 10).
