After quitting briefly following the band's previous tour, singer
Ozzy Osbourne returned to
Black Sabbath for 1978's
Never Say Die! The title track kicks things off with a promising bang but ultimately lacks enthusiasm; a pleasant surprise arrives in the very original and experimental "Air Dance," featuring tasteful piano flourishes from leading session keyboardist
Don Airey.
Never Say Die! is best suited for
Sabbath completists.
