Why do people pretend to like this album?

>>127267357 (OP)
What the FUCK were this cover and Technical Extasy supposed to be?

it's a great pop/hard rock album with catchy melodies and riffs
you're just a tasteless metal-only NPC who need loud distortion to pierce his thick skull

Why do faggot OPs pretend to ask sincere questions?

>>127267429
no actually I hate metal and autistic metal lords a lot. I only like Sabbath, my favorite band, but this album is BAD. Technical Ecstasy is fantastic tho in my opinion.
>>127267426
robots fucking and its based

NSD cover is the two members of the German electronic band (and Sabbath's Vertigo label mates) Warning.

>>127267513
they didnt form until 4 years after never say die was released

TORTURED AND TWISTED
HE WALKS THE STREETS ALONE
PEOPLE AVOID HIM
THEY KNOW THE STREETS ARE HIS HOME

>>127267451
Yeah definitely not one of the top albums, but the few good songs that I can come back to and enjoy.

>>127267939
the title track is ok

does anyone actually listen to the last 2 tracks?

>>127267513
That has to be the most based connection between two based bands ever if true.
>>127267561
Shut up. I want it to be true.

>>127268621
breakout, no
swinging the chain, sometimes, nice riff, but over to you is the perfect closer for the album
>ALL OOOVEEEERRR OVER TO YOU
>ALL OOOVEEERRRR

>>127268621
Only weak spots on the album.
I also turn it off after Over to You.

>>127268658
Bills vocals are cool. The harmonica is cool. The rest is sketchy.

>Why do people pretend to like this album?
Because it says Black Sabbath. People will pretend to like any album that says Black Sabbath.

>/mu/ was normal for once
i was expecting you guys to be contrarians about it and call me filtered but i'm impressed.

>>127268864
this

Shockwave was kino

>>127269373
I don't understand how people hate that song, Iommi goes through like 11 riffs and Ozzy finds a ctachy vocal hook for all of them
that song alone is better than anything on Tech Eck, let alone the title track, Johnny Blade and Junior's Eyes and Air Dance

>>127267357 (OP)
>hear album is bad so decide to listen with open mind
>listen out for good or redeeming qualities so that's all you hear
>fresh listen so it'll be interesting and engaging at least
>come to conclusion that's it's not THAT bad and maybe you feel good for thinking you've discovered something underrated
that's just how it goes when defending hated albums but in reality they're every bit as shit as people have always said they are

>>127267426
>Never Say Die
Two Air Force pilots
>Technical Ecstasy
Some people think it's two robots fucking, but you'd actually have to ask Hipgnosis.

>>127267357 (OP)
Actually it's a good album.
Sure, it may be the worst of the 70s Ozzy era albums, but it really is good, especially the first two songs, and this is coming from somebody who really only likes te first four albums.
And, yes, Technical Ecstasy is much better than Never Say Die, but it's still worth a listen.

>>127269723
I've heard both TE and NSD were shit
With TE I agreed with the general consensus but not with NSD which I ended up liking quite a bit

>>127268621
the ending riff along with the vocals were cool

>>127269392
there are a few live recordings of the song on the bootleg concert forums. not gonna say they mog the studio version but they're definitely worth a listen

I like about 3 or 4 songs from that lp.

>>127267357 (OP)
Johnny Blade and Hard Road make up for the lesser tracks

>>127268621
I actually like them. I thought Bill Ward made a decent vocalist

>>127268864

too much energy for you cucklet? go back to gaydiohead if you cant handle sabbath :^)

>>127268621
I like how Ozzy's final song is about handing the reins over and then it transitions into songs done by the rest of the band without him. Don't think it was intentional but I pretend it was.
A full album of just the 3-piece doing jazzy rock stuff with Bill on vocals would've been kino, I really like his voice
