Biography

Black Sabbath have come to epitomize the heavy metal genre and, though they have launched many a band of hairy copyists, their legend will surely outlast them all. Black Sabbath cite disparate influences such as Cream and the Beatles and are, in turn, cited as having influenced artists from System of a Down and Metallica, to Busta Rhymes and the Cardigans.

Since they began in Birmingham, England in… Read more in Amazon's Black Sabbath Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Plus... Black Sabbath Is Perfect In Every Way!, March 5, 2000
This review is from: Black Sabbath (Audio CD)
This album is nothing short of an absolute triumph because it is a "crystal ball view" of what was to come in the genre of heavy music.

Blues based with an apocalyptic vision, Black Sabbath's first album is a roller coaster of premium jams that barely let up through it's runtime.

The remastering of the imported Castle recording is far superior than the domestic Warner Brother's version. Audiophiles will be pleased with the bass extension combined with Ozzy's vocals sweetened in the midrange. Make no mistake about it, the blazing highs of Iommi's solos are still there but now they are sweeter as well. In short, there is more space around the instruments. The mix is far less cluttered than the original version and gives full gusto without fatigue to the listener.

Buy this disk now... you will never regret your choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars KORN DIDN'T INVENT ANYTHING!, July 7, 2005
This review is from: Black Sabbath (Reis) (Audio CD)
I'm sick of all these kids who think Nu Metal is "soooo original" and think they know better. "Black Sabath" is the first metal album and it's a lot more diverse than your Korny. Tell me how metal could have been created in 1994 if we already had 1/4 century of metal like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Saxon and many more...?
Now shut up and go slit your wrist!

5.0 out of 5 stars get this one(import), May 24, 2001
By 
"quiveringthigh" (the Idiot Left, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sabbath (Audio CD)
First off, the import contains EVIL WOMAN which is worth getting especially if you grew up listening to the US print. Besides that, this cd contains some of the early SAB at the youthful finest. MASTERS OF REALITY and SABOTAGE are prime examples of the "Fathers of Heavy Metal"...
