Cool album cover wasted on a putrid dogshit album

nah the album is a catchy hard rock/pop rock album with even some proginess
unjustly maligned album mostly because of the time it was released, the fact that it was released by a band called black sabbath, and because ozzy was kicked out after it
only real misstep is breakout

These songs are 6/10 at best

the opening riff of air dance is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

It's the opposite I think and I've only ever heard one song on it so far.

Admittedly it's the weakest of al the 70s Ozzy era albums, but it shouldn't be so easily and readily dismissed.
The first two tracks alone are worth the price of admission, even if the title track is a bad, second rate Thin Lizzy rip off. (It's still a good song, though)

I'd say that applies more to picrel.

>second rate Thin Lizzy rip off.

Thank you. And if I didn't like the riff on Sabbath, why would I on Lizzy, especially considering they recorded FAR better and heavier songs?

Actually, I like both Black Sabbath, and Thin Lizzy.
Also, I like the songs The Boys Are back In Town, and Never Say Die, but, let's face it, NSD is just a second rate rip off of TBABIT.
That doesn't make it a bad song, though.

half the problems are the mix itself

*fixes your album*

>>127154772
That's only Tony Martin era album I like

>>127153027 (OP)
Nah its underrated as hell

>>127153877
No that's Technical Ecstasy by far

>>127153027 (OP)
it's like KISS's Creatures of the Night. good album, unfortunately released when the band's marketability was at an all time low

>>127156098
I like them both too, just not this happy-go-lucky riff.

>>127153795
so good

>>127153877
It's way stronger than TE. I never made the Lizzy connection but you're spot on there

>>127153877
NSD sounds similar to Gypsy off tech eck

>>127153027 (OP)
Never Say Die, Air Dance, Shock Wave and Over to You are all worthy of being put on a mix CD or a playlist.

The rest are good fillers.
>>127153795
Fantastic song.
>>127154772
9/10 album you dumb fuck.

Bill is amazing on this album
