4 stars The history of their music goes back until 1969. Because another had the band of the same name, the name of their bands will be renamed though they were acting with the form of the Jazz combo that is called Earth. The fashion of psychedelic was active at the last time of the 1960's and people were sensitive to the fashion. After announcing the tune of the single in 1970, they announce first album "Black Sabbath". They announce the album with the composition of a reformative performance and an overwhelming tune always afterwards. Their mid-term music characters might have left the top and a few reverberations with this album in a general opinion though the evaluation of "Master Of Reality" or "Vol.4" was high. After it had debuted, they always challenged the composition of a reformative tune. It is gradually weeded out and the perfection of the tune has increased though their debut albums had the element of Blues a little. Their styles reach the very top by established extent "Vol.4". However, it is said that work to invent the tune after "Vol.4" is announced became difficult them. The idea and the directionality of the tune might have been a little loose. However, they kept challenging the creation of music further. It was Riff of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" to which Iommi had given birth to save directions of them who had become loose. It is said that their work made progress by this idea to flow.

They change the composition of the performance, the technology, and the tune cultivated till then a little. The keyboard and strings boldly taken give musical the tension and the extension further. It works at the direction where the appointment of Rick Wakeman to perform the keyboard in "Sabbra Cadabra" is good. The member of Sabbath is doing the work of the keyboard in other tunes. It is guessed that the magic of the progress of the code exists in one of the charms of them in my opinion. Their characteristics often take E Minor to the code of the tune. However, it is possible to make anxious a new charm and mysteriously by gradually introducing the tune of the majors code into the whole of the album. These are not bad elements at all. It is guessed that their charms are doubled by introducing a little bright tune and a friendly tune. "Spiral Architect" collected at the end of this album might proven the respect. I think that this tune with strings and an active element is one of the masterpieces of them. They are chosen and, of course, this tune is chosen to be a repertoire of the re-formation.

They evolved gradually after it debuted really and were always introducing a reformative element. He guesses that the charm of Sabbath is in the individuality of the point and each member who establishes one style in the world of the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal in the upcoming album though they accomplish the revolution further.
