Rolling Stone's 490th greatest album of all time
I was expecting this to be the long-bearded gimmicky hard rock funsters, however I quite enjoyed this. It reminded me of Clutch, a fantastic band, with a real blues/bluegrass feel. In actual fact, Clutch had covered Precious and Grace as part of their Weathermaker Vaults series. And the vocals on La Grange has clearly influence Tim Sult's style.
A good mix of blues and hard rock and fair above my expectations.

Concrete and Gold is an apt title. The hard rock is still there but finally there’s a bit of a shimmer and glow, something the band absolutely needed lest they continue treading water. It’s a career-capper as unexpected as it is welcome.
Critic- Chris Gerard
Original Score: 8 out of 10

Rolling Stone's 243rd greatest album of all time
Superb hard rock/blues album. Whether or not they were the first heavy metal band is irrelevant, the songs here are fantastic. Includes the self-titled song, the brilliant NIB and my favourite Sabbath song - Warning - as close to a heavy version of The Beach Boys' God Only Knows as we're likely to see.
