t/t deserves a 5, but the rest of the songs deserve a 6 (except for hand of doom and rat salad which are 4.5)

Title track needs more love.




No way. If anything, the t/t needs less love. It an amazing song of course but this album has so much more to offer than

sometimes overlooked due the really famous on this album.

might agree with you, even if they stole most of their image/style from Coven

The whole witchcraft imagery? Eh, maybe but adapting images into the music world when it comes to the supernatural isn't really a rare thing, not anymore anyways

The music's fantastic, that's enough for me

I was more referring to how a few months after Coven released their debut album in 1969 (which included bassist Oz Osbourne and the opening track Black Sabbath) that the band Earth changed their name to Black Sabbath and John Michael Osbourne changed his name to Ozzy. Plus they went from being a straight blues band into a much heavier and darker overall sound.



Let's also not forget that Coven brought the "bullhorns" into popular music/culture.

but yeah Black Sabbath totally took that sound/image places that Coven was incapable of going. it's between Sabbath, Floyd and the Stones for best band ever imo.

sure they're in the convo, just not in my personal top 3. they're just as big (if not bigger) rip-offs as Black Sabbath and Metallica though.

Really? Huh, I never knew that. I guess it figures since I heard none of the members were ever people with particularly high integrity.

Even so though, that sounds more like taking a band as a big inspiration more than anything, unless they outright stole their material blatantly it's still ok in my opinion (even if the name change is a little extreme). Plus, yes, at the end of the Sabbath pretty much created, or at the very least popularized and defined metal, so they went further than Coven ever would've.


Ahh, hard for me to choose between Floyd and Sabbath, Sabbath's first six are all great and the 70s stuff from Floyd is some of the most wonderful shit ever. Admittedly I've never really listened to the Stones all that much, I probably should listen to at least one of their albums.

yeah it's more interesting than anything, to me. most of the greatest bands ever were thieves of some

variety. the saying "there is nothing new under the sun" is particularly apt when talking rock and

roll.



and yeah dude, definitely check out some Stones records. It took me longer to appreciate them than it

did Sabbath or Floyd (whom I've liked since I was a teenager), but their streak of albums from Beggars

Banquet to Goat's Head Soup is one of the best 5 album runs in history.
