Shock Wave is one of Sabbaths best. Check it out.
One Of Their Best

I honestly have no idea why people collectively hate this album. Not a bad song. Perfect swan song. My only thought is bitterness over Ozzy leaving. If you like early 80's Ozzy and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath you will love this album.
As good as anything else they put out

I’ve always been baffled why critics are so negative. Some of Black Sabbath’s most creative music was on this album (both lyrically and musically).
Love this album

It’s certainly lighter and less serious than the classic first five or six Sabbath albums, but I still enjoy it a lot.
It really deserves a 2.5 rating

The only great songs off of this album is the title track, "Junior's Eyes" and "Air Dance", other than these three songs I'm not a big fan of this album, sadly this is the last studio album featuring the original lineup.
Excellent album

In my opinion, some of the most artistic metal music ever made. Junior’s Eyes and Swinging the Chain are my faves on this album
Do I need to say much?

Come on it is Black Sabbath! There is no reason to give it below five stars!
Interesting evolution

Although I enjoy the album to a certain extent, it’s a far cry from the Sabbath of earlier years.
It’s a good addition to any collection but likely won’t see much play time compared to other Sabbath albums.
There are some interesting sounds that I never envisioned them incorporating (synth) but it feels like they were trying to stay relevant as opposed to doing it for the love of the music.
Better than you've been told

I avoided this album for years but once I picked it up, I couldn't stop listening!
It's heavy but with a different approach than the previous albums and it's refreshing after listening to paranoid, war pigs ect. over and over again.
Ouch!

Thin production and the best song is a rip-off of Thin Lizzy's "Boys are Back." Save your money.
