This shit sucks. out of the first 6 sabbath albums it's the worst

i agree its the weakest one but supernaut is one of their best and cornucopia/under the sun and really unique and cool songs

>>126884891 (OP)
It's the best 'cause it's the "shit I did too much drugs" album and after that they were basically kill. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the weakest out of the first 6 for the exact reason Vol4 is their best.

>>126885006
sbs and sabotage are easily in the top 3

LE ALBUM!

>>126884891 (OP)
s/t is easily the worst followed by Sabotage

>>126885069
Filtered by based sabotage, usually happens to faggots as they cannot recognise good songs

>>126885094
did i say it was bad faggot? no, i said it was the one of the worst. probably should have said least good though

>>126885148
it mogs vol 4, sbs, s/t & paranoid

>>126885183
it's bolder and louder but not cooler.

>>126884891 (OP)
Correct. It reminds me of Led Zeppelin II, which is similarly bad.

>Hole in the Sky
great opener. 7/10
>Don't Start
not worth rating but it's existence is important
>Symptom of the Universe
killer first half, okay second half but i get why it's there. 7/10
>Megalomania
great but should have been 2 minutes shorter. 7/10
>Thrill of it All
rocks. 6/10
>Supertzar
nice interlude. 6/10
>Am I Going Insane
garbage. 0/10
>The Writ
it's okay, a bit too long and tired sounding. 6/10

overall 6/10 album

worst to best
6. S/T
5. Sabotage
4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
3. Paranoid
2. Vol. 4
1. Master of Reality

It is incomprehensible to me that you can hear an album with Black Sabbath, The Wizard, and Warning on it (among others), and call it the worst anything, even in relation to other Black Sabbath albums. The title track is arguably one of the most important songs in "rock".

>>126885474
Title track is classic but otherwise it's like the JHE or Cream without chops.

>>126885502
>otherwise it's like the JHE or Cream without chops
that is retarded, the lyric content alone is in stark contrast to those comparisons not to even mention the music

>>126884891 (OP)
True

>>126885412
I'd put it more like

6. S/T
5. Vol. 4
4. Paranoid
3. Sabotage
2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
1. Master of Reality

They're all good but there's a massive power gap between MoR and the others. MoR is still a benchmark for modern doom

>>126885474
the entirety of side 2 is complete and utter ass.

>Black Sabbath
10/10 revolutionary masterpiece
>The Wizard
10/10
>Behind the Wall of Sleep
5/10 painfully average and it drags
>N.I.B
10/10
>Evil Woman
covers shouldn't count for shit on albums 0/10
>Sleeping Village
interesting but ultimately filler 6/10
>The Warning
cover AND 10 minutes of blues wanking 0/10

5/10 overall, the next Sabbath albums mog it HARD

All those damn instrumentals. I don't want to listen to blues wanking.

>>126885842
This is why I don't take numerical ratings seriously in music, or anywhere else really. A 5/10 album with a revolutionary masterpiece on it. It can happen I guess, but then how do we relate that to 5/10 albums where that rating is because every song is perceived to be 5/10? It's just stupid. Black Sabbath has something revolutionary about it, we agree about that. As for the rest of what you said, I just don't really think it's productive. I grant that you think it has a lot of filler.

>>126885877
okay i was being harsh. i'll give it merit for having a really awesome atmosphere and being so revolutionary. hell i'll give it points for having arguably their best cover art too. 7.5/10
