Review: When it comes to heavy metal pioneers, Black Sabbath are pretty much the OGs.
Their seventies output is the stuff of rock legend, and this album is no exception.
From the moment you press play, you're transported back to a time when denim was king and glitter was a sin.
The opening track sets the tone perfectly, with Tony Iommi's riffage hitting you like a ton of bricks.
Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive vocals soar over the heavy instrumentation, creating a sound that is equal parts menacing and mesmerising.
As the album progresses, you start to notice the subtle nuances in the band's songwriting.
Tracks like "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" showcase Black Sabbath's ability to seamlessly blend fierce guitar solos with haunting melodies, creating a sonic experience that is both ferocious and transcendent.
But it's not all doom and gloom.
The band's cheeky sense of humour shines through on tracks like "Fairies Wear Boots", where they playfully riff on fantasy tropes in a way that only Black Sabbath could pull off.
Overall, this album is a true classic.
It's a must-listen for any rock fan, and a reminder of why Black Sabbath are considered one of the greatest bands of all time.
So grab your leather jacket, turn up the volume, and let Black Sabbath take you on a wild ride through the seventies.
