Intense Sabbath Reborn.......2005-09-07

Celestial Hi-Fi is the follow up to Electric Sleep and its more intense also, Electric Sleep showed occasional calm and relaxed cosmic moments followed by energetic tracks , in this effort, song after song, energy is the constant dinamic, the voice of Henessy sounds potent such as the voice of an Ozzy Osbourne in his 20s, this album also proves that the techinque of the guitar player have improved a lot sounding more like Iommi in the solos than in the past album, Celestial Hi-Fi is pretty much heavier exciting and appealing, is remarkable how this band havent reached the status that they deserve, only a few real Sabbath fans have found in this four canadians the source were to get more of the sound responsible of the direction of heavy metal in this millenium, Cathedral, Lee Dorrian is a huge fan of them
and i love this band too

Certainly a "must-have"..........2004-04-09

...If you like the genre. I agree that the vocalist does occasionally sound like Ozzy, but you could say that any heavy band whose singer has a high, nasal voice, resembles Sabbath. I personally don't like Ozzy's voice, but I enjoyed this album very much. I think these guys have plenty of potential, and this album is quite good. It will be interesting to hear some of their other stuff.Cheers!

Sabbath reborn.......2003-03-28

sHeavy rocks. Period. Who cares if their detractors dis them because the lead singer sounds like the Godfather of Metal, Ozzy? That's why we LOVE it! If you like this album, you MUST buy Electric Sleep. They are wayyyyyyyyyyy better than any other stoner rock out there.

Obvious Sabbath Influence... and that's a GOOD thing!!.......2001-12-08

SHEAVY hails from Newfoudland, Canada. Founding member Danny Moore has been a central figure in the Newfoundlad heavy music scene for over 10 years. My point is that this record is the result of many years of dedication, playing bars and touring at home and abroad. Lead singer Steve Hennessey was invited into the studio by none other than Black Sabbath. A number of songs were recorded but unfortunately none have seen the light of day. Production duties were handled by Don Ellis another veteran of the Newfoundland heavy music scene (this guy knows how to record heavy music). This is a great sounding record that features geat songs played by tight band that knows how to groove. Oh and did I mention that it's heavy as hell. WARNING... I have heard some people complain that this record sounds too much like old Sabbath. In my opinion this album is better than anything Sabbath recorded post SABBATAGE (1975). As a matter of fact, this is what Black Sabbath would have sounded like if their drug of choice had been pot instead of cocaine. If you like heavy music without the commercial b.s. than do yourself a favour...buy this record today!

Great.......2001-06-20

2 Bonus Tracks worth the extra cash!.......2001-06-21

Who would have thought that you'd get such awesome, traditional heavy metal out of Newfoundland, Canada? When people ask me to describe Sheavy, I call them "More Sabbath than Sabbath"! That's not a bad description, as lead howler Steve Hennessey sound so much like vintage Ozzy (1970-1975ish) that he once auditioned for Black Sabbath himself. Obviously he didn't get the gig, but that worked out OK for Sheavy.

Celestial Hi-Fi is simply excellent. It's every bit as good as The Electric Sleep was. On this one, Sheavy seem to try to find their own sound a bit more. Electric Sleep had a couple tunes where you could match songs to the old Sabbath tracks they were copied from ("Oracle"="Black Sabbath", for example). This one is not like that, although they haven't changed their sound that drastically. It's just a little bit more their own.

On to the bonus tracks, however, which is why you're looking at this item instead of the less expensive domestic release. Are they worth the extra cash? After you listen to "Nine December", you won't have any questions that it was worth it. A nice fast rocker with killer verses and chorus, it's probably the best song on the album! How it only made it on to the Japanese release is beyond me, but it's honestly the best one here. The other song, "El Camino Real", is also quite good, just as good as anything else on here.
