Review: Black Sabbath – The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (Rock)

This review covers the heavy metal track Black Sabbath – The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.

This track was released in 1994 on the album Cross Purposes.

The track starts with some guitars. The vocals then come in for a verse. Some backup vocals join the track. The drum kit then comes in to usher in an instrumental section. This features some lead guitars.

After that, the vocals take the track into the main chorus. This section is capped off with an instrumental section.

From there, the vocals take the track into the next verse. After that, the vocals take the track into the main chorus. The lead guitars fade out after, leaving only some more acoustic guitars.

The vocals then repeat the first verse. That drum kit then comes in, but in a slower manner. The track then guilds up. A guitar solo comes in right after. The vocals make brief appearances in this section. Parts of the main chorus are then repeated as the whole track then fades out.

For me, the guitars do sound well done. They make the track sound pretty well done.

The vocals are a bit hit and miss. Generally, they sound pretty good, but some of the lyrics are hard to understand.

Overall, this track does sound alright. The vocals are decent enough, but the lyrics are hard to understand at times. The guitars sound decent enough, so I have no problem with that part of the track. So, a decent enough track if you ask me.

Score
7/10
