Reviews Customer Reviews for Black Sabbath      The first album      Rating:      Black Sabbath's first album, Black Sabbath, is a great album. Here is my track by track review. 1.Black Sabbath-10/10 Classic riff. It starts slow with church bells, and a thunderstorm followed by a monster riff by Iommi. Ozzy sings slow lyrics. It evantually speeds up. 2. The Wizard- 9.5/10 Cool song. Ozzy plays a harmonica. It is a little short, but a fun and interesting listen. Cool lyrics by Geezer. 3. Wasp- Behind the Wall of Sleep- Bassically- N.I.B- 10/10 My favorite on the album. Wasp is an intro to Behind the Wall of Sleep, and Bassically is an intro to N.I.B. Its pretty much 2 songs in 1. The effects on Ozzy's voice are cool on behind the wall of sleep. The left headphone has an echo while the right headphone is his normal voice. N.I.B is one of sabbath's best. 4. Wicked World-8.5/10- Not awful. Not my favorite either. Its just not as good compared to the other songs. I listen to it ocassionally. 5. A Bit of Finger- Sleeping Village- Warning- 9/10 Not much singing. Mostly Iommi's guitar playing with a HUGE solo. Fun to listen to.     Customer Reviews for Black Sabbath Cd      This is THE one...      Rating:      Paranoid may be more even and have some of the best songs. The Kinks may have one of the first "power chord" songs. The MC5 and Blue Cheer may have been metal "forerunners" predating Sabbath. Steppenwolf may have coined (or at least recorded) the phrase that describes it. Deep Purple and Zeppelin may have been as musically heavy (at moments) at almost the same time (debatable, but I'll give it to you anyway...). But, THIS IS THE FIRST. The first heavy metal record by the first heavy metal band. Know why? All arguments and scholarly "but the Kinks..., but Blue Cheer..., but Zeppelin..." aside... It's the DOOM. Simple as that. No other band, bluesy as they still were (and this album is very bluesy compared to following Sabbath offerings) were simply as gloomy and oppressive as Sabbath were. This ain't no hippy B.S., this is the real stuff. If you don't know this album and every note on it, you don't know metal.
