Sabbath’s Greatest Album
5
By Brooksie3000
While I love the Ozzy era, THIS is my favorite Sabbath album. It’s rare to find that perfect album, where every track could be a single; this is one of those. The band was playing the beat they would possibly ever play. Bill Ward’s drumming was percussion perfection. Geezer Butler’s bass was the heavy, yet melodic foundation and the perfect counterpart to Tony Iommi’s massive riffs and liquid-lightning solos. And then there were the vocals of Ronnie James Dio. His voice gave the band a completely new dimension and brought Sabbath back from the grave. If you love hard rock and metal, this simply must be in your collection.
Best Sabbath Album Ever!

Every song is just so good, just a perfect matchup with Dio, Geezer & Iommi. In the past 40 years I have not gone more than 6 months without listening to at least 2-3 songs if not just straight through beginning to end…

This album is a one off to me. Iommi on this is mystical. Mob Rules didn't even capture it again.
A classic!

I was always an old school Ozzy Black Sabbath fan. I still am. This album came out when I was in high school. I rejected it at first calling it “Black Rainbow.” It did grow on me somewhat. Recently, I’ve rediscovered it and I’m blown away by it. Everything that makes music is all here in top form.
The music is pure Black Sabbath with a vengeance and Dio’s vocals add a new and different element that contribute to and in no way diminish Sabbath.

sabbath with ozzy were getting a bit lazy (nothing against their legend ness )but step in Ronnie James Dio that lit a fire in Tony Iommi's guitar. Easily in my top 10 metal albums of all time- just the album cover is worth 4.99
Black Sabbath at it's best

I remember this one from my senior year,Ozzy had been replaced and Ronnie James Dio stepped in and this album was magical.Geezer Butler's bass was off the charts, Bill Ward killed the drumming and Tony Iommi not only shredded he also played very melodically,this is one of the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time in my opinion.Peace

Neon Knights kicks it off and it just never stops. This album is one of my absolute favorites, one I love to crank the music up, roll down the windows and just drive really, really fast. A classic.
Great album
