One of the pioneers of metal, Black Sabbath's debut album simply rocks! Tony Iommi's heavy stompin guitar riffs, Geezer Butlers' deep bass lines and Ossie Osbourne (as is printed on the back cover) evil and satanic vocals harping over the band in an almost ritualistic vein!
God i grew up listening to this stuff and I still love it......
The album opens up with the self titled classic " Black Sabbath" which set the tone for the whole album. If you have the UK version of this album then instead of "Wicked World" you get the cover version of Crow's "Evil Woman". Both versions and songs are great ....take your pick.
Sabbath always had that slow blues rock progressions mostly due apparantly to Iommi's loss of two finger tips causing him to play slower. Regardless of why , this album established the sound and style of Black Sabbath which all albums thereafter drew from.
.....simply a classic of the metal genre
