Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Great album great seller thanks

Great pressing and great sound. What more do you want? Better than the original! All of the Sabbath re-issues are in my opinion. Due to commitments (Royal Navy) I missed the original release of Vol. 4. Arriving home on my first leave I bought Vol. 4 and this at the same time. I played them back to back. I doubt many people would have been in a position to do so. It felt like a double album. Unlike a lot of bands at the time, Sabbath were able to get better and better. Not once do I recall thinking, "It's not as good as........". They always managed to produce something different whilst retaining their identity. Remarkable really.

Without out doubt this is one of the greatest musical compositions of the 20th century of any music genre. I have loved it for 46 years.

The fifth studio release from the masters of the heavy rock universe is, for me, a return to form after a disappointing Volume 4. The band was still going through problems, mainly liked to substance abuse, but whereas on Vol.4 this led to a rather patchy affair on this release they managed to harness it and put it to good creative use.As well as the usual doom laden lyrics, many dealing with the band's problems, there is some excellent musicianship and vocals on display here. The band tried to expand their musical palette on 4, but it was a hit and miss affair. Now they have got the hang of it, and a much more cohesive record results, in the form of heavy rock with distinctive prog leanings.Tommy Iommi is on fine form with his trademark down tuned guitar sound, and Ozzy seems possessed with his singing. Ward and Butler are also giving it their all, and a classic heavy rock album results. Along with their self titled debut and `Paranoid' I rate this as the best from the classic Sabbath line-up. It's the greatest album cover of all time as well.

Happy Sabbath fan! Cd in good condition, the case too. Very happy

Ok insert embarrassed emogi here. This album is a total classic for sure.'What you didn't know? Call yourself a Sabbath fan since birth?'....yes it's true I never owned this album. But it's never too late as they say. Growing up on a diet of their brilliant debut, and the timeless Paranoid and Master of Reality albums you would think I'd know better.But yes after these I kind of stuck with various best ofs and some of the other albums. So Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage and believe it or not Vol.4 all got ignored. Til this year.They are all great. Don't leave it too late and buy all the first 7 albums. One of the greatest bands ever. Period.

Awesome

Black sabbath enough said proper rock music.
