After releasing their final album, titled “13,” Black Sabbath embarked on their final tour which ended in 2017. Although you couldn’t really hear these new songs on tour, the tome had some unconfined moments. Sure, it’s not a classic, at least it doesn’t have that status so far, but it’s worth checking out.
To Ozzy Osbourne, however, it wasn’t exactly the weightier thing ever. In fact, equal to what he said in an interview with Stereogum, he didn’t really enjoy recording this album. Aside from Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, he was moreover in the studio with producer Rick Rubin and Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk. Discussing the process, he was asked whether he enjoyed the sessions, to which he responded:
“Not really, considering to be perfectly honest, I didn’t really get a tuition from the album. Although Rick Rubin is a good friend of mine, I wasn’t really I was just singing.
“It was like stepping when in time, but it wasn’t a glorious period. Though Geezer [Butler] did a lot of lyric writing for me, which he’s very, very good at. It wasn’t an earth-shattering wits for me.”
Of course, the obvious elephant in the room was the sparsity of drummer Bill Ward who would round up the band’s original lineup. There’s a lot of stuff surrounding that whole drama and Ozzy seems to regret that they didn’t manage to make it work with Bill. When asked well-nigh whether Black Sabbath is really over, Ozzy said:
“I would like to say it’s completely done. I think it’s time. The only thing I really regret, to be honest, is that Bill Ward didn’t play on the album. It wasn’t really a Black Sabbath album. I’m not saying that one day we might not all go in a room and come up with the perfect Black Sabbath album.“

Going when to the album, he said:
“But I’ll say, [13] wasn’t recorded the way Black Sabbath recorded records. We’d gone right when past the point where we took charge, when to when someone else had full tenancy of our recording. Which we never did from ‘Vol. 4’ onwards.”
