Can you imagine being a kid in 1970 and listening to pic related for the first time?

>>127137872 (OP)
fuck, i think we all felt it the first time no matter the decade.

Even as a kid I could hear this was shit

Led Zeppelin I was a better debut.

they are the VERY definition of 'ahead of their time'.
title track was recorded in fucking 1969. it took 10+ years for some other band try to emulate its sound and make a subgenre out of it. insane.
there is a clear gap of at least 5 years after the release of this album in which you still didn't actually have other bands that could be labelled as 'heavy metal' in its essence.

Led Zeppelin will always be inferior

Black Sabbath had huge fucking balls, way more than any other band from that time period

>>127138814

faggot band. it's criminal they have to be in any sabbath discussion

solid kek. there must have been quite a culture clash between square jarheads who enlisted and hippies who were dragged there

>>127137872 (OP)
No, but I remember the first time I saw Black Sabbath and Deep Purple on California Jam on television in 1974.

The album cover looks so pleasant to me, it's spooky, but homely. It really fits the tone of the album imo.

>>127139594
yes, spooky but in a comfy way

>>127138791
Only better when it came to vocals. Instrumentally even with Toni's lobbed off fingers, Sabbath were better.

>>127138791
I definitely understand why Zep is more popular, but they really don't hit their stride until the second album. Sabbath was fully formed from the beginning.

>>127140487
i disagree as i think Paranoid was a big step up

>>127140478
Not really, Plant is extremely annoying

>>127138791
No way, the titular song on this is the best album opener of all time, probably the best first song on any band’s albums

Can you imagine being a kid in 1983 and listening to pic related for the first time?

On the debut Geezer Butler is credited as Terrence Butler and Ozzy Osbourne is credited as John Osbourne. The original British release on Vertigo records featured a gatefold with a large upside down cross with acknowledgements on it. Warner Bros said 'Absolutely not!' for the American release and so there is no gatefold.

Would be amazing, even if you were introduced to them via Paranoid. Imagine the first song you ever hear is Black Sabbath or War Pigs.

>>127138791
I love Led Z but honestly fuck off, what an obnoxious and completely uncalled for post. and also you're wrong Black Sabbath s/t was far better, their first good album was LZ3.

>>127138791
Dazed and Confused is heavier than any Black Sabbath song, but no one's ready to admit that yet.

it kind of bothers me that they took this picture in what appears to be early evening and then just raised the contrast really high, if they'd waiting a couple hours until there was just dim light it could've been a much creepier picture without an ugly filter

Which probably also caused them to go into other directions in the second half of their Ozzy catalogue, experimenting with synths and proggy sound.

>>127139192
Well to be completely fair, they were a real rags to riches story. Page and co. were nepo babies.

>>127141599

The main riff for whole lotta love is better than the entirety of zep 3 brah brah. TAPE on that mouth shut bitch boy, you don't get an opinion.

>>127141741
For me it's Bring It On Home.

>>127141741
fuck Whole Lotta Love I aint listening to Robert make sex noises for 10 minutes while Jimmy makes fart noises on his guitar
(the opening riff is good though)

>>127141634
The bright colors are what does it for me. Black Sabbath is kind of a hippie band. I like that they didn't go with some cringe Norwegian black metal vibe decades before the cringe came to be.

>>127138792
>there is a clear gap of at least 5 years after the release of this album in which you still didn't actually have other bands that could be labelled as 'heavy metal' in its essence.
In Rock came out the same year.

>>127141636
90% of zepplin's discography is just the same droning 40 second riff over and over again for 8 minutes with plant occasionally moaning and going "yeahhh ohhh woahhh"

>>127141815
not agreeing with that guy but that's actually not true they were very experimental, lots of different styles and instruments in their songs. most of it was trash though

>>127137872 (OP)
I doubt anybody really cared about this at the time of release. It was only 10 years later when Metal became mainstream that people looked back at it as revolutionary.

>>127138792
>>127137872 (OP)
Them and King Crimson (and Hawkwind) - even the Doors - went against the hippy coomer grain, had an edge (and incorporated more jazz than boilerplate blues/folk). Richie Blackmore as well.

>>127138791
Zeppelin straddled the line between the above and rock before swinging toward early Elvis, funk and new electronic stuff as time went on.

>>127141773
>I like that they didn't go with some cringe Norwegian black metal vibe decades before the cringe came to be.
had to make a mockup

>>127141927
This suddenly became my favorite demo.

>>127141939
You do know they had demos right?

>>127141959
Radio sessions aren't demos. Napalm Death's Peel sessions sound better than the albums most of the songs are on.

>>127141969
They did have demos from when they were called Earth doe.

>>127137872 (OP)
>all songs suck except for the first one, but bill ward saves them with drums alone

Sabbath invented heavy metal with this album, period.
>muh Zeppelin
>muh Deep Purple

No. Stop. Those bands wrote heavy songs/riffs, but that doesn't make them metal.

SOME PEOPLE SAY MY LOVE CANNOT BE TRUE

>>127141599
>first good album was LZ3.
fucking BASED. i thought i was the only one that thought that. but also i believe Paranoid is the first good Sabbath album

>>127143362
it's like they've never even listened to Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. how the fuck could anything before that be considered anywhere near as heavy

>>127139443
The US Govt reported that 1971 was the closest the US Army had ever come to full mutiny in it's history. They compared the situation to the state of the Austro-Hungarian army at the end of WWI

The cover gave me the heebie jeebies as a kid, like some old 60s photo of a haunted manor in some supernatural book you'd read late at night without your parents knowing (which I did do indeed).

The music was mind-blasting as well. Thank you Ozzy, thank you Sabbath.

thank you sharon

the first song Black Sabbath I still think is probably their best song. it's way different than the whole album too, without that song the album is just blues rock.

>one of the first metal songs

2014 for me. Black Sabbath (the song) is still really effective for me in how it conveys ultimate terror and despair.

I just refuse to believe people actually listen to metal, it's literally just ear rape. Is it because you think it's cool and manly or something? I don't genuinely think anyone finds it pleasant to listen to

i vaguely remember hearing Ozzy talking about how early on crowds didn't know exactly what to expect from the band, but at first there was lots of hippie types with flowers in their hair, peace symbol face paint, all that dumb shit they were doing in the very late 60's. and Black Sabbath would come out and beat them over the head with the reality of war, famine, pestilence, and death and totally fuck up all their free love bullshit vibes. he said it was fucking great watching them cry and they'd all laugh about it after the shows.

>>127144756
>some people like heavy, distorted guitar riffs
what a crazy thought

>>127144756
do you like hard rock?

>>127144756
I enjoy playing guitar and have played a variety of genres and I enjoy metal because I find it has a good combination of speed, groove and heaviness. I find it engaging to listen to and I just enjoy it. Not to do the cliche but I also enjoy classical for this reason and used to play piano.

>>127144355
Yes, the album cover and the opening song match. Perfectly.

>>127141601
>Dazed and Confused is heavier than any Black Sabbath
It is an absolute BANGER, I must admit, but I wouldn't call it "heavy" in a way it is used in describing metal music

Let me guess, your knowledge of metal consists of nothing but nu-metal, djent trash, and -core shit?

>>127138792
Flower Travellin Band was covering Black Sabbath's debut only months after it released.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t64OMs9G9nA

This came out in 1971. It took years for anything else in metal to match it's heaviness.

>>127144761
Fuck did anyone like hippies back then? Even George Harrison hated them

>>127144805
Linkin Park have some songs I like if they count, other than that, no.

>>127146430
A lot of people got disillusioned by the hippie thing by the end of the 60s because they where all talk about peace and love but no action. Black Sabbath was a reaction to that kinda stuff.

>>127138792
>Beats Sabbath to the punch.
>Even has a member named Oz Osborne.

That album is occult psychedelic rock. It sounds nothing like Black Sabbath.

>>127138791
I prefer Led Zeppelin, but I think Sabbath's s/t is better than LZ I. Sabbath's s/t is also my favorite Sabbath album though.

Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

I listened to it as a teen in early 2000s and it scared the shit out of me.

>>127138791
both are 7/10, too much boring pub band blues shit (warning for sabbath, you shook me and I can't quit you for zep 1)

>>127141062
Another noticeable difference is that the U.S. version replaced Evil Woman (Which was a cover, anyway) with Wicked World. (An original song)
