Product Description

CD Description
The archetypal heavy metal band, Black Sabbath unleashed a debut album marked by ponderous, sludgy rhythms, heavily distorted riffs and chords, and more than a whiff of darkness and Black Magic. Its crushing atmosphere of doom proved intense and relentless; the cumulative effect was dubbed "downer rock", but it proved immediately popular with a disaffected audience. Though no one could have predicted it at the time,Sabbath was laying the groundwork for a genre that would continue to grow in popularity through the '70s, '80s, '90s, and beyond.
BLACK SABBATH announces the arrival of both the band and the style in no uncertain terms. Though given more to extended jams and "suites" than later Sabbath recordings, songs like the ominous title cut and the bluesy, harmonica-driven rocker "The Wizard" set the standard the band wouldfollow for years to come. Singer Ozzy Osbourne already possessed one of the most distinctive voices in rock, and his chemistry with guitarist Tony Iommi, whose crushing guitar work descends like a ton of bricks, is undeniable. Still dug out, dusted off, and played, BLACK SABBATH is, in many ways, the true beginning of heavy metal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Rock Album, 4 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This is the album that started all the heavy, dark rock that you all take for granted these days. This is one of the best albums from one of the best rock bands ever, the pioneers of Metal, Black Sabbath. All of the songs here are infested by Tony Iommi's hair-tingling, original guitar riffs and Bill Ward's jazz-based drumming, and the poetic lyrics are crooned by the unimitable Ozzy Osbourne, who can still rock a crowd now, let alone in his prime on sets such as this album.

All of the songs are so deep and powerful they'll make you sit up and take notice, especially the gothic and genuinely scary "Black Sabbath" and the war sirens and crashing guitars of "War Pigs". "NIB" is somewhat comical in my opinion but it still has enough power to make anyone mosh - it's one of their greatest tracks ever. In addition, the excellent "The Wizard" is unique becauase it is the only song where Ozzy has played harmonica.

Recorded in an hour while the band were probably under the influence, this doesn't seem to have the makings of a classic rock album, but hell, it damn sure is. It's right up there with "Nevermind" on my list, and every metal fan should have at least one copy of this!
