[Einherjar86]

S/T and Master of Reality.

 

[byrne]

MOR

 

[Belligerent]

VOL 4 owns you all

 

[mutantllama]

haha yeah changes is pretty horrible. but SNOWBLIND, WHEELS OF CONFUSION, CORNUCOPIA, UNDER THE SUN

MY EYES ARE BLIND BUT I CAN SEE


Also, I have to say Solitude>Planet Caravan

 

[Inso]

I love all the first five for different reasons, hard to say which one is best. Master of Reality or Vol 4 would be top I think, closely followed by Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. That's not to say the first two aren't fantastic, I just prefer the following three.

I've not investigated any of the non-ozzy albums, I really should!

 

[Blind Guardian]

MY EYES ARE BLIND BUT I CAN SEE

That's another "shivers down your spine" - moment fo sho, love that riff.

All in all, I think the reason so few people vote for Vol 4 is the feather light production, especially the drums could use some more weight, being the follow up to Master Of Reality and all. Song wise though, incredible album!

 

[CF87]

Never Say Die is dreadful atrocious garbage.

 

[mutantllama]

Narissa voted for it.


It's not terrible, but it shouldn't be in anyone's top Sabbath albums.

i think the production was a conscious choice and that it works. i suspect the main reason is actually the filler.

 

[Doomguy]

Hmmmm..I'm tossing up between s/t and Master of Reality.

Might go with s/t.

 

[The Butt]

Never Say Die is dreadful atrocious garbage.

go listen to Bloodbath

NSD is fantastic, aside from Air Dance. Anybody who disagrees is a faggot who should have his right to listen to Sabbath revoked.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

S/T because it's the first Sabbath album I heard and the title track creeped me out when I was that young...

You're canadian.

 

[The Butt]

That doesn't make me any less right.

So why don't you go and eat a salad EVER-SO-LIGHTLY sprinkled with tit-grease, that's been raked on a midget's patch while he dances around singing This Kiss in a shit-smeared tutu?

I voted for both Heaven And Hell and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

I'm surprised there aren't more votes for those two. Sure, the debut was influential, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was way ahead of its time as well. Some of the stuff they did on SBS could be said to be proto prog metal. And Heaven And Hell is simply a collection of epic metal songs, and upbeat bluesy anthems that deserves a lot of praise.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I guess Heaven And Hell is a bit like Paranoid or Purple's Machine Head; you've heard every song on it so much that you're tired of it (even though it's a great album in its essence), my theory at least

 

[The Ozzman]

Paranoid and Dehumanizer
