This is their best album and it's not even fucking close

>>127045223 (OP)
ok

>>127045230
>GayI slop

Kek that "reflection" make it looks like they have 6 members

>>127045248
I always knew that Tony is a vampire

>>127045223 (OP)
Master of Reality but this is a close 2nd

>>127045632
This

Probably the highest vocal register in all of Ozzy's discography. It's almost a shame he sang so high (or the tape speed was manipulated idk) because he could not replicate them live, leading to many of them just being abandoned or relegated to a lame instrumental medley.

>>127045223 (OP)
While it may be one of their best, it's NOT THE BEST!
Hole In The Sky, and Symptom of The Universe alone are worth the price of admission.

>>127045223 (OP)
for me:
>Master of Reality
>Vol. 4
>Paranoid
>Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Sabotage
>Self Titled

all excellent regardless

>>127045719
>leaving out Megalomania (their best song)

>>127045800
I can't help but notice you left off Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die!

They get a lot of shit for not being "Sabbath-y" enough, but they're great albums. I don't care what anyone says (though Technical Ecstasy does have one or two duds, admittedly)

>>127045223 (OP)
Headless Cross is not only their best album but also the best heavy metal album ever made.

>>127046020
well spoiler if i left them off then they're obviously dead last. but i have enjoyed them on occasion. Never Say Die in particular is a pretty solid hard rock album. i really like the grit of it.

>>127046054
could very well be. won't discount Dehumanizer from that running however

>>127046020
Sadly, many people consider those the two worst albums of the Ozzy era, but I feel they are highly underrated, especially Technical Ecstasy. I can even tolerate the synth on Back Street Kid. The worst song is Gypsy, and I actually LIKE Gypsy. And I don't care what anybody says, It's Alright is a good song.

Never Say Die is also good, especially the title track and Johnny Blade.

Sadly, at this point, the drugs had noticeably taken their toll, but I still feel those are good albums and shouldn't be so quickly dismissed.

>>127045223 (OP)
It's their most underrated.

>>127045223 (OP)
Too front loaded

>>127049907
Dirty Woman is much better than the rest

>>127050138
the writ is one of their best songs. thrill of it all and Supertzar are fucking top tier too. Am I going insane is the only dud on the album but the highs of the album nullify it for me

>>127045223 (OP)
>I'M LOOKING THROUGH A HOLE IN THE SKYYYY-YYYYYYYY

Actually it's Heaven and Hell

>>127045719
Symptom Of The Universe is their best song period. It's the proto Painkiller, before Judas Priest tried to out play them in 1989 - 1990. Listen to both and you'll see the similarities

>>127045223 (OP)
Some fuckhead bitch Taylor Swift fan told me Ozzy died and I'm like naw that never happened. A.I. goyslop is abundant amongst smartphone social media addicts, I don't come across as much BS cause I'm off the bullshit

>>127050141
It's a good song but You Won't Change Me, All Moving Parts (Stand Still) etc. mog the shit out of Dirty Women

>>127049907
Out of all of Sabbath's albums, "Never Say Die!" is the only one I listen to at this point, or listen to the most. I completely wore all of Sabbath's records out when I started smoking weed in high school and can't listen to any of them anymore. Still amazing albums nonetheless; not saying I dislike the music obviously, just that if I've experienced them to their fullest capacity and much like every album I've abused, they become white noise when I put them on and no longer really grab me or move me like they used to. "Never Say Die!" was the only album of Sabbath's discography that survived the cut because I put it off for years, believing all the hype of the commercial and critical failure. Not to mention the band itself hated it.

I am glad I bought the hype, because it gave me some 'new-to-me' Sabbath to listen to these past few years, lol.

Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man?

I respect sabbath more than iron maiden since iron maiden bitches at people who smoke weed in their shows like a bunch of boomer faggots. Also best sabbath is vol 4, and sabbath bloody sabbath. For dio it's mob rules and heaven in hell. I like dio-era sabbath a lot.

>>127057155
>bitches at people who smoke weed in their shows like a bunch of boomer faggots
that's based tho
>Also best sabbath is vol 4, and sabbath bloody sabbath.
agreed
>For dio it's mob rules and heaven in hell.
Dehumanizer crushes

>>127050141
Well, it's slightly better than Gypsy, I'll give you that, but I still think it's a weak song, and I like Dirty Woman.

>>127052211
GOAT album, but BS in name only, and this is coming from somebody who saw Heaven and Hell TWICE before Dio passed away.

>>127054308
Actually, I thin SOTU is punk as fuck, and would've been a great song for The Sex Pistols to cover, and I still wonder why they didn't.

>>127055969
Both GOAT,and I'm inclined to agree with you, but I would also add Back Street Kid, and Rock and Roll Doctor to that list, but that's just me.

>>127056060
Understandable.
Everybody needs to take a break every now and then.
Someday, you'll feel the same way about NSD, and the other albums that you're taking a break from now, will sound new and refreshing all over again.

>>127057155
Yeah, I saw a video on You Tube where Bruce Dickinson started getting on people's cases about smoking pot wile the band was playing.
While I think he was a jerk for doing that, as a musician, I can see his point.
I mean some people are rater sensitive to the smell, they might get a "Contact high" and they might start messing up the songs.
I mean, hey, not every band is The Grateful Dead, or The Rolling Stones. Not every musician can get up on stage all fucked up out of their skulls and play a perfect, flawless concert. Fuck, if you wanna get high at an IM concert, eat some edibles or gummies before going in.

Honestly, can you go wrong with any album from the original Ozzy era of Black Sabbath?

>>127058344
>that's based tho
fuck off no that's not. Heavy metal and weed are interconnected.
>Dehumanizer crushes
yeah I like that one.

>>127058661
yeah, the last 2

>>127058791
>Heavy metal and weed are interconnected.
nah that's beer. rock and weed are interconnected.

>>127058791
>fuck off no that's not. Heavy metal and weed are interconnected.
That doesn't mean every headbanger is a pothead, though.
There are plenty of headbangers who don't smoke weed, or drink alcohol.

>>127058872
It has been discussed, and opined, throughout this thread, that, although the last two 70s albums with Ozzy are weak, there is still some good stuff on those albums, and should not easily be dismissed.

>>127059069
well by saying "can't go wrong" i assume that includes picking them first or as favourites which in that case, would be wrong.

It's sabbath bloody sabbath, and it's not even close you fucking nerds.

>>127059317
creative peak of the band

>>127059331
It was their magnum opus

>>127045223 (OP)
Their third is the best but this is good too.

>>127058881
weed and beer

>>127059055
they're retards

>>127058656
>they might get a "Contact high" and they might start messing up the songs.
Not a thing they're just fags.

>>127059508
THIS. Iron maiden fans are stoners, so why in THE FUCK would bruce heckle them for smoking at the show?

>>127059356
their crowning achievement. the crescendo of what they had worked up to creatively.

i should mention however i find Master of Reality to be their most defining as a band.

>>127054308
>Symptom Of The Universe is their best song period.
Correct and as we also all know it was the actual birth of thrash

>>127059270

Paranoid or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

>>127059317
>>127059331
>>127059356
I vehemently, but respectfully disagree.
To me,it seemed like they ran out of ideas, and were just repeating a formula that had, so far, worked in their favor.
It's GOAT, but I think that Volume 4 is the LAST truly creative album.
By the time they recorded SBS, they had already became overworked junkies.
They were quickly becoming over exaggerated parodies of their former selves.
>And, as I said, the album is GOAT......

>>127059455
They'll live longer lives, and have clearer heads....

>>127059508
Actually, yes, it IS a thing.
May is the time I've walked into a room full of stoners, and I got high quickly just from inhaling the air in the room.
I didn't even need to take a hit off of ANYTHING.
>>127059521
maybe because Bruce and the band DON'T want to get HIGH while on stage?
Did you ever think of THAT?
Shit, why can't IM fans just eat some edibles of some gummies before the show?
Is that too much to ask?
Save the smoking for when the show is over.

>>127060703
Uh, NO!

>>127061988
PARANOID!
BEST ANTI-WAR ALBUM OF THE 1970s!

>>127062010
>They'll live longer lives, and have clearer heads....
dumbass squares are living boring lives so whats the point in living longer

>>127062028
>Is that too much to ask?
for a metal show yes. If I was at a fucking pop or vocaloid concert, I'd understand.

>>127046054
I fucking love that album but it's so musically different from anything the original lineup did that there's little point in bringing it up while discussing classic Sabbath. It might as well have been a completely different band (and personnel wise it was except for Iommi).
The best from the OG lineup is probably Paranoid or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

>>127062255
You're an idiot.
