Master of Reality [Warner Bros., 1971]
As an increasingly regretful spearhead of the great Grand Funk Railroad switch two years ago, in which the critics defined Grand Funk as a good ol' white boy blues band, even though I knew of no critics, myself included, who played the records, I feel obliged to put this one in its place. Grand Funk are American--dull. Black Sabbath are English--dull and decadent. I don't care how many rebels and incipient groovers are buying, I don't even care if the band actually believes their own Christian/liberal/satanist much--this is a dimwitted, amoral exploitation. D+
