this is their best, all their album up to technical ecstasy are good but this is a masterpiece.

>>68603501
They invented doom metal on their debut album.

>>68604332

Fx is their best song

>>68604332
I like this album a lot but you can really hear the beginnings of buttrock here

I haven't listened to all of their albums but of what I have heard
MoR>Debut>Paranoid>Vol. 4>Sabotage
But I've thought all of the albums were 7.5/10 or above, with the first 3 all being around 9/10.

>>68603501
this.

like people listen to masters of reality because everyone tells them to, one single on paranoid, and ignore their best record.

>>68601251
When they recorded this album I wonder of four Brits even realized the impact that it would have on an American audience at the time or why it would resonate so deeply. (Remember that the Viet Nam war was winding down vets were on the streets homeless strung out on smack and were being spat upon and called "Baby killers" when this album was released. Also Altamont killed the whole hippy subculture)

>>68603501
Anybody who can't hear the jazz and be bop influence on this album is a pleb.

Fun fact: The U.S. and British versions are slightly different. The U.S. has Wicked World while the British version has Evil Woman.

>>68603501
it's good but theres a lil too much tasteless noodling throughout

>>68601251
10/10
>>68601281

>>68604332
8/10
>>68603501
5/10

>>68606057
Bummmmmmm BUMMMMMM BUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>>68606090
thats one of the exceptions

>>68606087
What makes Paranoid a 10/10? Master of Reality is my favorite and the only one I'd give 10/10, although Vol. 4 comes real close.
I just don't understand how anyone could rate Paranoid higher than both of those.

>>68606087
5/10?
OK KID

>>68606436
Master short as fuck, Embryo and Orchid are filler, and After Forever sucks IMO. That's why it's not a 10/10.

>>68606751
I'd agree that After Forever is the worst song on the album, but not a bad track by any means.
Embryo and Orchid don't feel like filler to, more like interludes and in that way they succeed in what they are supposed to do.
And
>it's short
is not valid criticism.

>>68607033
>worst song on the album
if you can IDENTIFY a track weaker than the rest on the album it isn't perfect.

their first six are all more or less great
never say die is also underrated
the only weak ozzy era album is technical ecstasy

>>68607033
It kinda feels like a EP to me wa the point, considering that It's short to begin with, and i don't like 3/8 songs on it.

>>68607082
not if its an 8/10, because Into the Void is a 12/10
:^)
Either way you're wrong. People always name their 10/10s and still wouldn't rate every track the same. And why would you? There are so many factors you have to take into account. Personal preferences, listening circumstances etc. That's just how it works. You'll probably never see someone rate every track the same and if that's the case, then there's gonna be a 'worst' track.

The Ozzy years are GOAT........
BUT............
The first four are the best because of the jazz influence!

SBS and Sabbatage still have the Jazz angle going for it but they realize that they're nows ROCK band and NOT a Jazz band and it shows!

Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are great but also the weakest of the Ozzy years. Still some Jazz influences in the music but unfortunately the drug addictions have taken over they're phoning it in and putting albums out to buy more drugs and fulfill contractual obligations.

After that the two Dio albums and the Ian Gillian albums are most certainly worth having but after Born Again it's just Tony dragging the good name of BS through the mud.

This is just my opinion and I expect many people to disagree with me.

>I like this album a lot but you can really hear the beginnings of buttrock here

No, no, no, no , no. You can't just call everything you don't like "buttrock". Buttrock is that glamy hairspray period of the eighties when the performers wore makeup and spandex, and there are no traces of even their sound on MASTER OF FUCKING REALITY, you fucking FAGGOT!!!!

Winrar

Under the Sun takes this album to the stratosphere

>>68607597
it's a mediocre record with one of the cheesiest arrangements and synths I have ever heard in an album ever. Black sabbath should keep as far as possible to progressive rock.

>>68607662
>cheesiest
sounds like it's perfect for prog

>>68607662
spiral architect, a national acrobat and the title track alone make it a 7
who are you's only sin is being repetitive

>>68607740
7 is nice to me. Even though a 6 is more appropriate.
With a better production, this could be easily a 9

>>68607777
when you add killing yourself to live and looking for today it's an easy 8
the only weaker tracks are the appropriately named fluff and who are you

nice get tho

Their best bar none

Sabotage its their best with Ozzy, yeah

>>68607617
Exactly, they just went full doom on that song. I think it's their best because they decided to push their limits while retaining their good old formula. It's very introspective and full of different emotions, and I think that in under the sun they mastered the trascendental sound that they already made great with songs like N.I.B. and hand of doom. Such a great "fuck you" song.

A lot of albums released in 1972 were their respective artist's best album.
