In For The Kill and Seventh Star. Tough call since I like them all but my least fave is Heart Like A Wheel.
Whichever one is the shortest.
Danger Zone ... then whichever's the longest
Heart Like A Wheel is the only one I really like....
-Too many flames, with too much to burn, and life's only made of paper. Oh how I need to be free of this pain but it goes over and over and over again-
The Angry Heart/In Memory tandem.
Impossible for me to pick a favorite track, the whole album is one complete piece of musical ear candy to me.
Are you saying boo, or boo-urns?
That must be the title track imo. I also love the (quite similar) demo version "Star of India". It is a very different album overall, somehow they managed to grasp the feel in the 80s "lighter rock" without becoming as mainstream as the bands that played that kind of music.
No Stranger To Love, Iommi intro's into the track, ticks away in the background nicely & moves into the short effective solo, complementing Hughes.
Vastly different album from the heaviness/darkness of Born Again (Geezer/Ward), can't really fault the album & it's power tracks/vocals & they laid the 'Sabbath Stones paving the way for Tony Martin's epic & power vocal style.
Heart Like A Wheel always thought BB King could've peddled this great Blues track, Angry Heart/In Memory gets the message across. Established in the Sabbath discography & full of solo's, always given it a spin every now & then, since its release...On Star Of India demo's, glad Fenholt never made it, terrible, considering himself lucky he had the pleasure of jamming with the Master of Riff's though, Iommi's work on that was cool![]()
Seventh Star. Very good song. Not a very big fan of the album with the exception of the title track, No Stranger To Love, and In For The Kill
No Stranger To Love is a song I've always considered to be the greatest lost Power Ballad of all time, but I prefer the album version to the video/single version, as I feel Glenn's harmony vocals in the chorus detract from the song.
I love The Sphinx (The Guardian)/Seventh Star as well - used to do a lot of synth practice to that song playing along with Geoff and Tony.
Danger Zone isn't too bad either - but in truth I much prefer Ray Gillen singing on it than Glenn - he does a great job.
Most of the other songs aren't entirely my cup of tea unless I'm in the mood for the more bluesy moments, but Seventh Star is a lot better than people give it credit for.
Ya know, I am a huge fan of this album. Most underrated disc in the Sabbath catalog. Does it sound like early Sabbath - NO. Does 80s Ozzy sound like early Sabbath - NO. Not sure why all the disdain for Sabbath in the 80's. Most hard/heavy bands that survived from the 70's embraced the "Heavy Metal" of the 80s into their sound.
If I had to say pick the best, then in would also be "Angry Heart/In Memory."
"I can honestly say its truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever." ~ Tony Iommi (Speaking of Ronnie James Dio)
"Danger Zone" Love that riff that comes just after the solo. (Tony must have loved it to because there's a version of it in "Hard Life to Love" on the next album.)
seventh star
My absolute favourite on this album would have to be Sphinx/Seventh Star. Brilliant riff, breat drum work and Glenn's vocals are perfect. Sadly he has a tendency to go over the top at times but on this album he was restrained and brilliant as a result.
I also have a very soft spot for Turn To Stone (my very close second pick) followed by Heart Like A Wheel and Danger Zone.
The whole album is excellent. For me, Glenn Hughes does his best work when with Tony Iommi (though he also worked well With Tommy Bolin).
Only No Stranger To Love fails to click with me. I just cannot get into this.

Music does not influence research work, but both are nourished by the same sort of longing, and they complement each other in the release they offer.

Danger Zone. In For The Kill a close second
DANGER ZONE, just a great kick ass tune, love the tone and sound of that riff, Iommi at his best!
No Stranger To Love
I make the devil laugh and angels wail. Forever I will reside beyond the pale.
I would have to say Heart Like a Wheel or Danger Zone. Another underrated album by Sabbath......
Give me In for the Kill and title track. The rest to me is a little too much power ballad, not enough Sabbath for me![]()
In for The Kill / Stranger to Love / Sphinx-Seventh Star / Danger Zone / Angry Heart / In Memory ... Underrated ( solo ) album
Danger Zone - definitely!
Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law
Definitely the title track.
Heart Like A Wheel. One of the greatest-ever Sabbath tracks.
Danger Zone, Seventh Star, No Stranger To Love. And I like Angry Heart/In Memory too
