Black Sabbath Help?
 

Ok so I think its about time that I finally pick up some Black Sabbath .
Where should I start?
Should I pick up their first cd?
or start with the best?
Which one is the best?
I’m so lost and would appreciate some help. Cheers

Paranoid I'd imagine.

s/t
and sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Just get the first 5 and consider it an investment.

MASTER OF REALITY is my favorite Ozzy era album. Vol4 has quite a muddy production. SBS probably the cleanest. Love early Sabbath.

I'm the total opposite. I think the production on Vol 4 suits it perfectly.
I hate the production on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath , far too sparse & tinny for my liking.

Lol. That's what makes music discussion the great subject it is. Vol 4 is a huge let down for me as it has some of their best tracks lost in a muddy malaise. I think MOR has the best guitar sound though. That chugging riff on INTO THE VOID pwns nearly every metal band!

Master of reality should be prescribed as a laxative.

I Say start with their debut album then pick up Paranoid.

I guess Paranoid first cause it's got the hits and then Master of Reality because it's the best.

You said it!

I hate all this non-love for Vol 4 :(

:rofl: but in a nice way

Vol. 4 is good too, it just isn't the greatest stoner rock album ever.

Thats why I like it though. Not as monotone as the other 3.

I do like the diversity on Sabotage too though. SYMPTOM of course is a great riff but MEGLOMANIA is a brilliantly realised track. There again i love AIR DANCE from NEVER SAY DIE so what do I know?!

I think Blues for the Red Sun is a mediocre album and I still haven't heard any Hawkwind.

I picked up Black sabbath -paranoid
I am having a hard time finding black sabbath's black sabbath for some reasons.
I really enjoy black sabbath and want all there cds I dont want to settle for buying a greatest hits cd
thanks for your help!

the cd's should really be non-expensive at used cd stores. i got paranoid and master of reality for like 15 bucks.

great idea thanks!

some stores will have the deal like "buy 3 get one free" if you want, you could find a used cd stores that has something like that and get all the cds by Black Sabbath just like that. but theres a lot of ways to do it. its sometimes fun. lol. :o: thats my guilty pleasure heheehe

black sabbath st was the easiest for me to find wtf
its at my walmart, and bookstore

as i was gonna say, they really shouldn't be too hard to find. its just fun to find them.

god damn your avatar is making my computer lag like ****

really? crap. I have been to 3 HMV's and one music world in the past 2 days and no luck.

Sorted ;)

hmm. well i would suggest going to a cd store that most likely isnt popular so they arent all gone.

or you could just get all the classic records and be cool. haha.

:)

get reunion: live
it has their best songs and its live
unless you mind explicit content

Don't neglect the Dio Sabbath. Pick up Heaven and Hell and The Mob Rules.

Falling Off The Edge Of The World is a monster track off MOB RULES.

Heaven and Hell is a rather good album.

What do you guys think of Dehumanizer?

Didn't like it. See my anniversary tribute to Dio in my journal (part 4, if you're actually interested, here http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ml#post1189604) --- found it overheavy even for Sabs, a bit directionless and really, in the end, a somewhat pointless exercise. I know they would get back together with Dio fifteen years later, but amid all his solo stuff that Sabbath reunion, at that time, didn't make sense to me, and "Dehumanizer" is a far cry from "Heaven and Hell" or "Mob rules".
