Query: Where was the great Dio-Iommi-Butler songwriting?

I enjoyed most of the Ozzy years in Sabbath & can find a few songs from every album that were great. I thought the Dio years (80-83) took it to a whole other level. Great melodic songwriting and less "dark" songs, but unmistakeably Sabbath with the great Iommi riffs and guitar melodies. I bought this one w/out ever hearing it hoping it was Heaven & Hell or Mob Rule and boy was it not! Terrible songwriting, dark dimented vocals and not nearly as full of sound as the band had from say Never Say Die up through Live Evil. I think Dio lost his songwriting knack & Iommi & Butler didn't pull up the slack. This is the heaviest, darkest and most uninteresting songwriting I have ever heard from Sabbath and it doesn't do anything for me. I traded my copy back. I did catch this tour & I thought it was great with the exception of the material from this album.
