Headless Cross have some good tracks, although it sounds more like NWOBHM than Black Sabbath (Many of you may allready know that I don't consider Black Sabbath after Born Again to be REAL Black sabbath, but that's another story).

Headless Cross is a great album, as there are many solid tracks here.
Regardless of my hang-ups, a lot of the tracks here are strong: When Death Calls, Black Moon, Headless Cross, Devil and Daughter, etc. Though I liked Eternal Idol a little bit better, this definitely is a CD worth of your time.

I don't only consider Headless Cross just to be one of the best post-Ozzy Sabbath albums, but one of the best Sabbath albums altogether.

Guitarist Tony Iommi was the only remaining original member and the band had seen an outrageous number of musicians and frontmen (six overall) slip through its ranks since Ozzy Osbourne's departure.
So it was quite a shock when singer Tony Martin returned for a second go-round on 1989's pleasantly surprising Headless Cross.
Arguably the finest non-Ozzy or Dio Black Sabbath album (along with 87's The Eternal Idol), Headless Cross is certainly the most consistent.

Information: This stone has been included solely on account of its name, as it probably never was a cross in the accepted sense.
There is no evidence that it ever had any arms, a head nor a cross incised upon it.

A decade of stumbling and flailing ended on a high, demonic note with ‘Headless Cross,’ the finest album from Black Sabbath after a string of mediocrity following Ronnie James Dio’s departure.
As guitarist Tony Iommi is the only original member left, this album can’t be expected to live up to the band’s classic period in the early seventies.

Headless Cross - Black Sabbath : Episch, melodiös, doomig - Black Sabbath
„Headless Cross“ ist daher kaum mit den Anfängen mit Ozzy Osbourne zu vergleichen, denn zum einen ist die Musik hier recht epischer, aber dennoch druckvoller Doom und zum anderen ist Tony Martin schon von der Stimme her sehr, sehr anders.
„Headless Cross“ reiht sich dennoch nahtlos in die lange Kette an Klassikern ein, nach kurzem Keyboard-Intro zeigt der Titeltrack gleich eindrucksvoll, was BLACK SABBATH ausmacht: Majestätische Gitarrenriffs, ein sehr guter Fluß im Song und natürlich Martins herausragender Gesang.

This is a significant change as Iommi and Powell have reported good working relationship and, with the returning Nicholls (who has been with the band since 1979 in various capacities) and Martin, the band has the foundation of a solid band lineup.
This shows in the writing: HEADLESS CROSS is more cohesive, more akin to Tony Martin’s versatile Dio-esque vocal range rather than made initially with a different type of singer like the previous album.
‘Headless Cross’ really gets things going in fine fashion, the opening Powell drums and Iommi riff let you know this is going to be a heavy record.
