Best Sabbath Ever
It still has that bluesy feel to it. This is a perfect Sabbath album, and I think it's their best. I call it "Evil Blues. " Worth every penny. .


One of the all time best heavy rock albums
It blew my mind and I was hooked. I bought this in '72 when I was 12 years old. Bought it again on vinyl and then on CD. I wound up with a little Black Sabbath collection, but my favorite by far is this album. Here I am pushing 50 years old and still have to play this cd at least a couple times a year. I don't even listen much to hard rock or heavy metal any more, but this masterpiece I always come back to. To me it's also one of the most under-rated albums. And I have to disagree with the editor's review. I grown tired of Paranoid before the 70's ended and found it less sophisticated musically than this album. Paranoid never really had the magic in it that this first Black Sabbath album had. .


The album that started it all
Now over thirty years later I am blown away by it's brilliance. I purchased this recording on vinyl when I was about 14, but I must say it took me a while to REALLY understand it. A low budget 8 track recording. . . and it just destroys! My band Non-Fiction were heavily influenced by Sabbath. We're doing a reunion show Sat. Nov 7th 2009 at Dingbatz in Clifton NJ.


the blueprint
every hard rock band since has followed these 2 blueprints. this and the first zeppelin album is where it all started.


The first is still the best.
There's not a boring spot on the entire album and the whole thing reeks of pure genius. Black Sabbath's debut is still one of the bets heavy metal albums of all time. Nothing sounds like this, nothing. It's as if Ozzy, Geezer, Bill and Tony were put on deserted islands at the time of their births and they learned to play and write music with NO outside influences at all. This is an essential album. Even the cover is dark and menacing, a concept metal bands would adopt just as much as Sabbath's sound.
