The thing I like about the first album is that it's the "anti-hippy" album. There is nothing Peace & Love about it, and as you say, it all started there. As for Technical Ecstasy, well I like about 30 seconds of "Dirty Women" (you'll know the bit I mean). As for the rest ... hmmm.<br /><br />John,<br />I still like to listen to albums, but obviously I don't have as much time to do so as I did when I was a teenager. In fact, when I think about it, I must have spent colossal amounts of time listening to records when I was a teenager, given that I can even now remember the lyrics to most of the songs on duff old clunkers like "Stormbringer". Stormbringer!<br /><br />That Sabbath / Zeppelin thing is very good. Mondo linked to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs9Pp4KlHSM" rel="nofollow">this video</a> on his blog recently. I think it might be better than the original. <br /><br />*is struck by lightning*Hawkfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869783230626158753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594392524787950100.post-3530507227547428542010-09-29T21:58:01.198+02:002010-09-29T21:58:01.198+02:00BTW - You might like thisBTW - You might like<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThU9BOWcmjM" rel="nofollow"> this</a>John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594392524787950100.post-67013187334391020832010-09-29T21:53:06.940+02:002010-09-29T21:53:06.940+02:00Now we've all gone digital with our shuffletas...Now we've all gone digital with our shuffletastic pods, it probably means that none of us listen to the 'great' albums anymore. My Sabs Best Of won't be the same as yours (or anyone elses for that matter); and I'll put money on the fact that even on yours you'll constantly fast forward it. Am I right? I'm not wrong.

But if it is for sheer bloody wonder I'd like to think I'm going for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Sabotage - the tracks Sympton of the Universe and Megalomania make the album. But no for me it is the debut release that just edges it, the bluesy jazz dirge and the first real doom laden sounds ever to blight this dear earth - things, Thumper, were never quite the same again.<br /><br />Death Face is right, for me I just love the insane Iommi riffery of Dirty Women on Technical Ecstacy. The LP fails against what went before but I do like Gypsy and the title track too, but it is clear too many chemicals were getting in the way of creativity at this stage and well it just went so wrong with Never Say Die which is all bollocks except for Junior's Eyes which always made me greet like a sobbing greeting type person.<br /><br />And finally I have said this before and I will say it again that Geezer Butler chappie wrote lyrics that would put the best poet to shame; I still want the words of Supernaut on my gravestone "I've seen the Future, And I've left it behind" <br />Oh the irony of it.Löst Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907139441842698894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594392524787950100.post-69924112334544854342010-09-29T16:11:34.351+02:002010-09-29T16:11:34.351+02:00DF,

Harrumph!<br />I really like Master of Reality too, even though there's only six songs on the album. they tagged on those two short instrumentals to make it look as though there's eight, but they're not fooling Old Thumper.<br /><br />BA,<br />There's actually a good inverse correlation between the quality of the covers of the Ozzy albums and the quality of the music inside. i must blog about it sometime.<br /><br />Vol 4 is great of course. It was the first of their "cocaine albums". Of course, they thank the "great COKE-Cola company of Los Angeles" on the sleeve and Ozzy whispers the word "cocaine" over Snowblind. You know, just in case you thought it was about Arctic exploration.Hawkfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869783230626158753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594392524787950100.post-84019280557784698392010-09-29T15:16:45.169+02:002010-09-29T15:16:45.169+02:00They never did do particularly good covers though,...They never did do particularly good covers though, did they (Paranoid, Master of Reality, and, ugh, Born Again are all rank)?
