SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH

So, I was at my local public library earlier this week and came upon this album. Right off the bat, I'll say, I've never really taken a liking to Black Sabbath (I do own Paranoid), but in all fairness I never really gave them a chance either. I decided to check it out. I listened to it three times. The first two, pretty much right in a row, and then a third a couple hours later, louder as well. What can I say, I am impressed. A previous reviewer wrote something along the lines of there's more to Black Sabbath then what meets the eye I couldn't agree more. I never questioned the musicianship of this band, but never respected them either, until now. Sabbra Cadabra is the highlight of the album, with honorable mentions to Who Are You and a personal favorite Spiral Architect. I can't believe this album came out in 73', and it's their 5th work! They were so ahead of their time. Its almost mind blowing that they were cranking out this heavy stuff so early. I'm really going to put some effort into checking out more of a Black Sabbath's albums.
