Musically, the release draws on traditional heavy
metal and power
metal styles as well as influences from blues. The
album's opening track, "The Illusion of Power", features a rapped
verse by hip-hop artist Ice-T of the
group Body Count,
delivering a spoken word part during the song's bridge.
Body Count
member Ernie C
also produced, recorded, and mixed the album.
The album received a generally negative
response from critics and fans alike. After its release, the band underwent
several line-up changes and found itself at a career crossroads. However,
original Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy
Osbourne would reconcile with guitarist Tony Iommi
not long afterwards.
