Black Sabbath: All Albums Ranked Worst To Best

Black Sabbath might just be the most important band of all time to me. My parents grew up listening to Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio and all that stuff during the 80's, then I got to grow up with all that stuff during the 90's and early 2000's. By 2002, I had become interested in music myself and metal was, of course, the best shit in the world.

So where did I start off? It was Ozzy and his solo stuff that really got me into music as a whole, but with him Sabbath obviously followed. From there I discovered Dio (the band) and his previous works with Rainbow. I also kept an open mind towards the post-Dio eras of Sabbath and thus discovered that both Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes used to be in Deep Purple. You know, the list just goes on and on.

With Black Sabbath essentially being the centerpiece of my entire musical world, I just had to make one of these lists for their albums. That is all of their albums, i.e. anything labeled "Black Sabbath" which have guitars performed by Tony Iommi. So, let's begin!

Classic Sabbath: Geezer, Ozzy, Tony, Bill

19: Forbidden (1995)

 Last place and thus the worst album of Black Sabbath's career is none other than, surprise surprise, 1995's Forbidden. It's definitely the most disliked album of their career by the fan-base in general, and for quite obvious reasons in my opinion. I don't really find the album particularly bad like many others do. For instance, I don't really have a problem with the album's mix which tend to be a real earsore to some fans. I just think it lacks a lot of the essential things that make a Sabbath album being Black Sabbath. It sounds like one of those typically dated mid-90's metal records which tried too hard to be up-to-date at the time.

Favorite track: Kiss of Death


18. Born Again (1983)

The sole album featuring then former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan on vocals. This was where Sabbath kind of started to fall away from the public eye and it's quite easy to hear why. There's nothing wrong with Ian Gillan and his vocals at all, but he belongs in Deep Purple and not Black Sabbath. With that said, the bulk of the album itself was kind of lackluster and its horrible mix didn't help any of it one bit. It's still got a few great tunes, though.

Favorite track: The Dark/Zero The Hero

1983-'84: Ian Gillan, Tony Iommi, (touring drummer) Bev Bevan, Geezer Butler

17. 13 (2013)

Sabbath's first Ozzy-fronted album in 35 years just didn't quite fare all too well with me. If I'm being completely honest, then I think it's actually a really boring album. It does nothing for me. On top of that there is no Bill Ward playing drums. Yes, I am the super-biased kind of fan. After all, if anything without Ozzy no longer is "Black Sabbath", then how can it be without Bill Ward? It was always Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill. That was Black Sabbath. This isn't. Whatever. Then we have Rick Rubin's awful production. It just sounds raw in the most plastic way and, of course, it's also brick-walled to high heaven. I hate the guy's production work. Ultimately I could've just lived without this "reunion album".

Favorite track: Methademic


16. Cross Purposes (1994)

At this point it already starts to get difficult to chose where to rank a few of the lesser great albums which remain. I'd say that everything from this one and below is pretty effin' great and only gets better and better, but you know, I decided to do this so I've got to make up my mind. This album, which really is quite cool, gets the 17th place for sounding a bit too dated. It's a good heavy metal record but it also sounds like a typical product of its time.

Favorite track: Cross of Thorns


15. Never Say Die! (1978)

Another album that's been quite bashed throughout the years. Initially I wasn't too fond of it either, but it has really grown with me in recent years. It sure is different from the earlier stuff with Ozzy but I for one welcome the evolving change of their sound at the time. There are some seriously overlooked gems on this record.

Favorite track: Junior's Eyes


14. Tyr (1990)

This is quite an interesting and unusual Sabbath release. First off, it's with the most excellent (and majorly underrated) Tony Martin on vocals, but it's also the only Black Sabbath to rely more on viking themes rather than christian ones. As a Swede I find these lyrical themes quite interesting and Tony Martin was also a good writer of lyrics. The one thing that makes it a less awesome Sabbath record, however, is how it tends to sound more like a power metal band rather than Black Sabbath. It's not really anything wrong with it. I mean, they pull it off masterfully, but it's not what I want or expect(ed) from a Sabbath record.

Favorite track: Anno Mundi

1990: Tony Martin, Tony Iommi, Cozy Powell, Neil Murray

13. Vol. 4 (1972)

I know this one has a very dedicated fan-base who believes that it's Sabbath's very finest hour. I on the other hand always felt like it was lacking something. It was their fourth album in the span of two years and I think that it shows to some extent. Less memorable songs and the mix sounds more  primitive in a rushed kind of way. It's still a great record, don't get me wrong, but just not one of my favorites.

Favorite track: Snowblind


12. Dehumanizer (1992)

Sabbath's reunion album with Ronnie James Dio, at the time, and it's the heaviest shit they've cranked out since the mid 70's. The album itself, however, falls somewhat short in comparison to the earlier Sabbath records with Dio on vocals, as well as Dio's own solo material at the time. It's doomy and heavy as all fuck, but it just doesn't quite cut it anyway. It's one of those scenarios where you are just left like you expected something more.

Favorite track: Master of Reality


11. Seventh Star (1986)

It's up for debate whether this one should really be regarded as a Sabbath album or not. It was initially intended as Tony Iommi's first solo album, but record labels tend to be money hungry cunts without any respect for integrity. Still, seeing as Tony was the sole original member for most of the time after 1984, I view this as a Sabbath release anyway. It is quite different compared to most of the band's other albums, though. It's got a very melodic heavy metal sound which is quite typical of its time, but it's the exact kind of 80's sound I fucking love. Besides, Tony's rocking a mean guitar tone on this one.

Favorite track: Danger Zone

1986: Dave Spitz, Glenn Hughes, Tony Iommi, Eric Singer, Geoff Nicholls

10. Technical Ecstasy (1976)

I always thought this album was unfairly underrated for an Ozzy-Sabbath record. I love the bulk of this one, with a few exceptions. To me this is just another great Sabbath record, albeit a bit experimental but in a good way. Some moments on this one reminds me of Queen, in a good way. Some other stuff sounds like the typical riff-heavy Sabbath we all love. Bill Ward also proved to be a great singer on this record.

Favorite track: You Won't Change Me


9. Heaven And Hell (1980)

At this point it's become really hard to decide where to place the remaining albums. As classic and great as this record is, and I truly love it, it's got a few moments which don't hold up quite as well as the others. Regardless, it's more or less a flawless record and the band performs exceptionally. Bill Ward hits those drums like a beast and Dio's vocals are just as amazing as ever.

Favorite track: Die Young

1980: Bill Ward, Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iomii, Geezer Butler

8. Headless Cross (1989)

Another album with the excellent Tony Martin on vocals. Sadly I don't think this album would made it as far up in ranks on most other fans' lists. I am a fan of Black Sabbath regardless of what era we're talking. Tony Martin's voice is one of my favorites of all time as well. This album is yet another slightly different kind of record for Sab, as it features some typical AOR-esque influences which were popular at the time. I guess one way to describe it would be a "satanic Whitesnake and/or Blue Murder". There certainly are some traits of those kinda bands on this record, while still sounding like Sabbath of course. Tony Iommi also brings out some of his greatest guitar work on this one.

Favorite track: When Death Calls


7. Black Sabbath (1970)

Black Sabbath's debut album is as classic as it gets. It also marks something of the "official" birth of heavy metal. It's without doubt one of the greatest records of all time, still it ends up on 7th place on my list. I really think that says something about it, the band and the overall quality and impact of their music. The title-track, as well as the first Sabbath track, amazed me in a way no other song has ever done when I first heard it. I didn't really know any metal at that point, nor any other "extreme music" for that matter. I was 12 in 2002 and heard it for the first time. It could've been 1970 for all I know. To me it was so dark and sinister in a really uncomforting way, yet so chilling and amazing.

Favorite track: Black Sabbath


6. Paranoid (1970)

"How come you place this as low as 6th?! It's the best!!" Well, first off, I am a Black Sabbath fan. I listen to everything they ever put out, not just this one album. Unfortunately, it seems like this is the only album a large majority of listeners go for. Looking at Last.fm, for instace, confirms this as well. I dunno. It's their "hit record" for sure, but these songs were never their "hits" to me personally. I always liked a lot of other songs more. As fuckin' great as this record is, it's just not that extra ordinary special to me.

Favorite track: Electric Funeral


5. The Eternal Idol (1987)

"Watt fockin' album's thiz?!" You see the title above. It's also the first album with Tony Martin. Inititially this was going to feature the late Ray Gillen on vocals but I'm glad they ended up with Tony Martin instead, seeing as I like his voice slightly more. Possibly the most underrated album of Sab's entire catalogue. It's not perfect but it's a damn good record. Powerful vocals, riffs and solos. Some more notable background keyboards as well. The mix is pretty much the only downside about this one. It sounds more like a rough mix rather than a finished product. I dunno. It works but it could've sounded better. The songs, however, are really good in my opinion. I just love this album!

Favorite song: Ancient Warrior


4. Mob Rules (1981)

My favorite Sab album with Dio on vocals. Just a great heavy metal record. Unfortunately it's a somewhat underrated/overlooked one as well. The band themselves, as well as fans, seem to think lesser of this compared to Heaven And Hell. I always thought this was a better record and the songs are really fuckin' good. Some more doom and groove on this one. I guess that appeals to me more. Vinny Appice is also one of my favorite drummers. The best drummer Sabbath ever had after Bill Ward.

Favorite track: Voodoo


3. Master of Reality (1971)

For a long time this used to be my favorite Sab album. I guess I wore it out to a slight extent while the top two grew on me more. Nonetheless this is still an amazing album to my ears. The songs with their heavy riffs, Ozzy's trademark vocals and the excellent rhythm section with Bill and Geezer is just a perfect combination. Definitely one of the most classic metal albums of all time.

Favorite track: Children of the Grave


2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973)

This one also used to be my favorite for a while. This one had more variety than the previous records without going into the quite experimental routes which later Ozzy-Sabbath records did. It's just an amazingly mastercrafted piece of music. Ozzy also reached his vocal peak around this period of time and I always loved his nasally ways of singing.

Favorite track: Spiral Architect


1. Sabotage (1975)

And the winner is none other than this masterpiece right here. Initially it wasn't made favorite, as I've already pointed out, but it has grown and grown and grown on me over the years and it's just grandeur. Every single note is nothing but perfection. It's just the perfect Sabbath album in all ways imaginable. It's got great songs, a great flow and all the members are really peaking performance-wise. It's just a perfect mix of everything Sabbath was with Ozzy during the 70's.

Favorite song: Megalomania

That's a wrap, folks! I hope you enjoyed my list! And remember, it's just my personal opinions. Nothing to get butthurt over if they don't agree with your own.

Black Sabbath might be over now but their music and legacy will live on. Whereas their run has ended, my has merely begun. But at least I know that they will run with me until the day my own run ends, and hopefully beyond as well!

The Best AND Most Disappointing Albums Of The Year 2012

I remember back during the first half of my teen years, maybe like 2003-2007, there were very few new(er) bands that I liked. I was a very closed-minded, old school-only listener and listened to almost 80's music exclusively, apart from the 70's Gods like Sabbath, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Purple, and so on, you get the picture. In 2007, however, all that changed and I started to expand my musical mind with a big step into the 90's music (still dissin' the modern metal of that time, which still is pretty much the same metal today, unfortunately). The music was Death Metal, particularly the Swedish, classic old school-era and the East coast (Stockholm) sound. Entombed was the first band to break me into it with their legendary debut "Left Hand Path", but was soon followed by Dismember, which from that point to this day remain my favorite death metal band ever.

Anyway, in late 2007 I needed to cool off from all the ultra-pissed off extreme metal with something more mellow, but I wasn't really in the mood to return to my old NWoBHM / heavy and thrash metal, as well as AOR. To add is that I totally abandoned AOR in mid-06 when my band got a re-charge and we started to crank thrash metal 24/7 for some innovative influence and cleansing (the others were into Sum 41-punk, which is faggot punk, as well as nu metal, very much to my distaste as I've never liked those music styles). After that, whenever I hear AOR, I can't listen to it. It's just too much "midlife crisis music" to me, and I'm still young, hungry, and in need of going crazy to music, not in need of some cozy fucking and tender words during it after some wine and a luxious dish.

But as I was trying to explain, in late 2007 I took a pause from death metal and got addicted to early 90's alternative music and metal. With the great Jane's Addiction cracking me into this wave, it all soon followed with bands like Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mr. Bungle, and particularly Faith No More, which today is my favorite band. Danzig was another band I really cranked a lot every day, but I actually started to get into them in 2005 already (they had one 80's album ... they passed my then-rule #1: only 80's) and in 2006 they pretty much were the only non-thrash band that I listened to. I even had a T-shirt with their classic Devil's skull and logo (it became to small later on and I gave it to a skinny friend in 2009 or early 2010). So Danzig was pretty much the first 90's band I ever listened to and they are to this day a top-5 favorite band o'mine. Then I also got into old school hip-hop, electronic music and so on. My musical has expanded all the time and still does.

BUT NOW I'M DONE WITH THE HISTORY LESSON. I'm sorry, I just have so many fond memories and too much love for the music to not wander off like that. The point with all that is that today, I listen to all kinds of music, or at least I give it a shot, and it doesn't matter what time it was made in either.

So 2008 was a pretty bad year musically, I wanna recall? However, it WAS a year when things started to get better, and it has gotten better with each year since then. I thought 2011 was a pretty great as well as surprisingly good year musically, but I think I dare to say that 2012 has topped it!

Here's my list of this year's best albums:

1. Overkill : The Electric Age
- Intense, high-energy, "electrified" thrash (see what I did there! *ba-dum-tsch*). After the phenomenal Ironbound in 2010, Overkill went for a less proggy approach this time, but still kept the total-ass-kicking intact. The album of the year for me, congrats guys!

2. Steelwing : Zone Of Alienation
- As a fan of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal retro style, particularly the Swedish bands, this was a real solid ball of metal. I love everything about this album. I'm actually even going back and forth whether this is even better than Enforcer's Diamonds (2010) or not.

3. Unleashed : Odalheim
- And this one goes for the Death Metal album of the year. While they actually are a band whose latter material I prefer before their old, classic stuff, this album only made it more obvious: it fucking kicks ass! Their best album yet!

4. Rage Against The Machine : S/T remastered "XX 20th Anniversary"
- I know, not nearly a "new" album by any means, but a nice remaster, if not too different from the original, and it's got their first demo as well as some live tracks as bonus material, and that is what makes this release so great for any RATM fan.

5. Kill Devil Hill : S/T
- Maybe there are a few releases that would deserve this spot more, but I chose this because, 1. I for one really like this album, 2. I really looked forward to it for quite many months. I can confess that I wasn't reaaally satisfied with my expectations upon hearing it, but still it's a great album. I really like the voice.

6. Down : Part IV: The Purple EP
- I love Down, especially their third and latest full-length album. This was not a let-down apart from the one little fact: this is an EP. If it only would've been a full-length release and pretty much as good or better than Over The Under, it would've landed on fourth place.

..................................................................................................

Here's my list the most disappointing albums of 2012:

1. Testament : Dark Roots Of Earth
- Well. I love them, they're one of my absolute favorite bands, but no, something went wrong here. I was sooo anticipated about this one, and it finally showed to have been way too much. I was totally disappointed. It's not a bad album and Alex Skolnick is amazing, one of my favorite leads ever. The music's just too mediocre and Native Blood was a bad choice for a single. Also disappointing that my favorite drummer Gene Hoglan didn't get to do what he does best - beating the shit outta the drums, making tsunamis all over the world from the blastwaves.

2. Fear Factory - The Industrialist
- I had a moment of a few months in 2009 where I was addicted to their classic album Demanufacture, but just like then, the rest of their stuff still just sound recycled in a shittier form. Boooring.

3. The Devin Townsend Project - Epicloud
- I love Dev, I love his music, I have followed his music since 2007 I think, when I discovered Strapping Young Lad. Never has any of his albums really disappointed me. Some were not master-masterpieces, but they were great. This one was not a funny listening experience. After hearing preview samples from it, I didn't feel like anything really stuck out to me, and upon hearing the album I got it confirmed. It was kinda boring. But I don't judge Devin. The man is constantly trying out new approaches with his music, even if his trademark wall-of-sound is present everywhere, and one cannot simply make awesome albums without failing at least once. To me, this was Dev's first failure, and not a big one at that.

The Top-5 Worst XBOX 360 Games In My Collection.

I have about 70-80 games for Xbox 360 and I have had more before. This is a list of the five worst games I ever had, that I've been the most disappointed or frustrated with, or simply have a pure hatred against now. So let's go ...


5. Borderlands (2009)

I love wasteland-themed movies and games, post-apocalyptic sci-fi style with the classic, cliché desert savages, small town camps, and super vehicles and so on. One really good game with these features is Rage, but unfortunately I can't say the same thing for this game. I bought this because it was supposed to be such a good game that very many people's got, but I guess opinions still relies in oneself and not the public. While not necessarily a very bad game in its classic sense, I found it pretty mediocre-boring while playing it by myself.

As I only played it once by myself, I've had it laying around for times when I have friends over so we could play it in co-op mode, which is a hell lotta more fun. But not anymore ... I'm generally a solid FPS games, half of my games are FPS I imagine and I've been playing FPS games almost exclusively lately. The last time we played though, we pretty much died once a minute. I mean it was really frustrating. I had the best weapons I had been able to find / buy and just shot, shot and shot the enemies, at times in the face for a long time - almost whole mags - without them dying! I mean, that sucks so badly. It's not even fun anymore when it gets like that. I rage-quitted the game and don't wanna play it now. It's very repetitive anyways, too. So ultimately - I did not like Borderlands.


4. Crackdown (2006)
 
This was one of my like 5-7 first games I ever got for the Xbox 360. At the time I had an old white Premium 20 GB, which is kind of nostalgic now. The reason I wanted this game was because not too many games really interested me, besides Grand Theft Auto IV that is. I'm a huge GTA nerd and it was pretty much the only series I played for some years in the mid to late 2000's. So looking up other, "similar" sand-box / free-roam kind of games, I found out about Crackdown. I got it from my stepdad who worked in a kind of media-disc warehouse where they had movies and games, so he brought a copy home. Since I didn't have too many games at the time, I believe I played this one quite a lot, almost finishing it actually. Though I played it so much, I couldn't help but to feel that it was very repetitive all the way through.

It's really the same thing you do over and over and over again from the beginning to the end, and I hate that with games. I really think game developers should actually develope a game, not develope a mission, repeat it lots of times and call it a game. You're a super-cop or agent or whatever, and you can jump and climb on buildings, collect green orps and then you assassinate some drug dealers, mafia bosses or whatever. It's really the same route over and over in this game with everything, not a very fun one at that. Needless to say, I got tired of it before I finished it and stopped playing it.


3. Duke Nukem Forever (2011)

I'm gonna stay short on this one. 14 years in development, the hopes of the gamers pretty much dead, no high expectations anymore, this was bound to fail.
I played Duke Nukem 3D as a kid, maybe I played the others too, I don't remember anymore. I got this without really expecting anything from it rather than the obvious - that is was gonna be bad. Therefore, I wasn't too surprised either. This game lacks pretty much everything it shouldn't. The graphics are horrible as they differ from stage-to-stage in the game, pretty mediocre / lame gameplay overall and the humour wasn't really that funny no more neither. Bulletstorm, also released in 2011, is what Duke Nukem Forever should've been. But ey, at least I had that 3D poster on my wall for a while.


 2. Fable III (2010)

First off, I never played the original Fable game, I started with Fable II for Xbox 360 maybe a year ago? I liked that game, pretty much playing it non-stop until I finished it. As Fable III had already been out for a while at that point, I had heard things about it and no good things, I can tell you. Actually, what I heard about it was so much bashing that I kind of thought it was ridicolous, really. So then one day I was at the local media store and found it for 99 Swedish kronor (about 13-14 bucks), so I thought I'd get it, it wasn't so much money to lose anyway.

So I came home and started playing it. At first I didn't really think too much of it, I was just kinda trying to see if it either sucked or was better than people say. As time went by I started to recognize the issues pretty much "everybody" had been talking about. I also found myself missing Fable II a lot during the playthrough of this. It's certainly a huge step down in every good way that was Fable II, and then I've heard that the second one was kind of that to the first one as well. But I liked the second, after a short while I did not think fondly of the third. I did finish it, however, but it wasn't too long either so I guess that explains it. I was ultimately very disappointed with this game. A huge let-down after the great Fable II.


1. Dead Island (2011)

And here's the crowned winner of my top-5 worst Xbox 360 games in my collection! This game is pretty much everything bad about a game and I don't think I've never been more frustrated by a game than with this stupid piece of shit! I generally love zombie games and have a bunch of them - Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Dead Rising 1 and 2, Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare,  and I had the first four Resident Evil games and I even played the zombie bonus on Call of Duty: Black Ops, but this motherfucker takes the fucking cake for being a real bad, piece-of-shit-game which should never have been released! It's a fucking blasphemy amongst zombie games.

I bought this a while back after it dropped in price (THANK GOD I did that ...), at a cost of 199 Swedish kronor (about 25-27 bucks I think?), a price which is just too much for this crap. I do realize that I'm using lots of silly words and shit right now, but it's just my angry fucking frustration of this game that is getting out through my fingertips. I somebody mentions this game to me I also get in a very bad mood because it reminds me that I payed that much money for this shit!

Where Left 4 Dead are the zombie games I currently like the most, especially the first one (I thought the second was a little flawed and mediocre and that game frustrated me some as well, but that's another story), this is pretty much an obvious rip-off of Left 4 Dead. Now the style of this typical zombie-apocalypse themed game is pretty much bound to be "like the rest", especially Left 4 Dead when it's an FPS game, but the ripping-off doesn't end there. This is very much a total rip-off of Left 4 Dead - its "special infected zombies" looks similar too and ARE similar to Left 4 Dead's special infected. The boomers are here called Floater, the tanks are called Ram, hunters are Butcher, and so on. It feels so obvious that I get really mad at this game. How little imagination can there be to come up with some original ideas for special zombies? Very little I see!

The gameplay is probably even worse. I think it's kind of flawed in many ways. It's like often very frustrating when fighting zombies and you clearly see / feel / know you're hitting them, yet they get no damage and damage YOU instead. I also don't really like their melee-weapon system, that weapons break and you have to repare them (for large sums of hard-found cash!). I mean, it could be there to make the game more challenging, but I think the weapons break way too fast in the game = frustrating. It's also unbelieveably repetitive. Every mission is the same over and over. You go to some motherfucker and get a task to do for them, then you go do it. Now this is mostly retrieving things around the world for them as they're not bad-ass enough to fight the zombies themselves. The things are mostly unimportant shit too, the prime example being some girl in a bungalow who wants her fucking TEDDYBEAR back, which is located half-way across the fucking map! Was the teddybear meant to be funny or something? It certainly was NOT, just fucking irritating, nothing else. The people are often cocky or ungrateful towards you as well, making me think of how I hate most people in real life = making me angry. As said, it's very much the same thing over and over and it gets boring and uninspired real fast. Many times during these missions you also encounter other motherfuckers mid-mission, maybe denying you entry or passing if you don't GO BACK A WHOLE FUCK-LONG WAY to get them a fucking apple or whatever! During these encounters I just felt like I wanted to kill them and go on, but guess what - YOU FUCKING CAN'T! WHY did they leave out the option to chose whether to be good or bad? It would've been better if you were able to chose to be bad and kill survivors as well, but no. So when the missions were already irritating and boring, they make it even worse with all these stupid characters!

Now this is also a level-game. You get points, level up, yada yada yada, you get the point. The thing is though, no matter how fucking much you level-up, upgrade your feats ans so on, the zombies also levels up as much as you do, and the shit you upgrade pretty much doesn't make any difference, not a big anyways, meaning that this game's level-system is fucking worthless as you never get superior to the zombies anyway! On top of that new special-infected are regularly added to the world, making the level-sytem even more and more and more worthless all the time. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK were they thinking?! It also hasn't got a manual save option and the auto saving system sucks just as much as everything else in this game. There's an icon which flashes (if I remember right) when it's saving, but it does that at odd times so you can pretty much never quit when you want without being sure if it's saving or not, making it even. more. frustrating! The characters are nothing funny either. They're boring, uninspiredly created and just typically done like "we gotta have each of one race". As for the facial expressions, well they doesn't exist in this game. Surprised? They always look the same neutral, bored, fuck-faced fucking way and the dialogue is worthless as well. *Sigh*

This game is so fucking bad, I HATE it. It's not fun, it's not good, the mechanics, graphics and so on are either very bad or average. I've never been more angry, frustrated or even disappointed I think I dare to say, than with this fucking game. It's the worst thing I've ever played on Xbox 360 and I almost finished it, too! Go on and get Left 4 Dead instead. It's the same game but a thousand times better, only it hasn't got an open-world format. If you must have that, go and get Dead Island instead. It's a TPS game, but a hell lotta better than this. Dead Island is bad. Bad, bad, BAD! Fuck this game, don't buy it.
