Sabotage is very close to being their best album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted September 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2016 I think creating a Top Ten from the Ozzy era is incredibly difficult because weak tracks were few and far between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to start work, so I'll come back to you on a top 10. Off the top of my head, Hand of Doom, NIB, and The Wizard will definitely feature. I'm going to say it, but I think the debut is overrated. One of the most important albums ever released and also one of the best debuts, but I think it gets too much praise. It's a very good album and unique for the time but it fails in comparison to most of their albums. The title track is a masterpiece which I have to be in the mood for, nib is great too and reminds me of cream. I love bill wards drumming on the wizard and Tony's simple riff jumps out and bites you on the arse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo opinion they didn't do one truly bad track. There was the odd one which was a bit meh but they have such a strong back catalogue. Worst album was Technical ecstasy but even that has plenty of stuff going for it to call it a decent album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Master of reality, the stoners dream. Could easily be their best album and like paranoid is truly heavy. I don't think I've ever heard a guitar tone like the one tony had on that album. His sound was years ahead of its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Yeah man, I've listened to an awful lot of stoner, but that album is the original, and probably one of the best - along with the likes of Electric Wizard's Dopethrone, Sleep's Holy Mountain and Kyuss' Sky Valley/ST 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love bill wards drumming on the wizard and Tony's simple riff jumps out and bites you on the arse. I can see what you're saying, but it's still my favourite. It's not as hard / heavy as what followed it, and it's got a lot of Blues Rock influence. Bill and Geezer make The Wizard (what a rhythm section they are!) for me, and Ozzy's harmonica! Why didn't he play the harmonica more often? He's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best rhythm sections going that was and you could say iommi could stand toe to toe with most guitarists. They did a lot of off the wall stuff which people dont see and nothing ever became boring with them. Ozzy was unique and was such an underrated vocalist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom_Wren Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 What a show at the MGM on Sat night, not a music critic or seen Sabbath before, but IMO, it was bloody ace. "Still got it" would be the phrase that comes to mind!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know iommi and butler are masters of their instrument and the young lad behind drums kicks ass, although he don't swing like Bill ward, but how was Ozzy ? When he on form he's great but he is prone to off nights now and again. I f***** love this band.
