| Best Of Black Sabbath
The best 8 black sabbath albums ranked. Obvious which ones. | | 1 |  | Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
The title track is probably one of my top three favorite metal songs of all time. This was the original, this was the original heavy. But not only was it the first, it is one of the best. Ozzy, Iommi, and Butler have some of their best work on this album. Personally, and statistically, this is the best Sabbath album. | | 2 |  | Black Sabbath
Master of Reality
Coming in at number two is their third release. Although there are only six real songs with two interludes, each of the six songs are rock solid, and are among the best of Black Sabbath. Sweet Leaf and Children of the Grave being the main highlights. This album just flows so well. | | 3 |  | Black Sabbath
Mob Rules
The second, and last album with Dio, Mob Rules is the better of the two Dio albums in my honest opinion. Sure, Heaven and Hell was the first, but this album has better hooks, production, emotion, and it just flows better. I dunno, i just think its better. Kickass album art two. | | 4 |  | Black Sabbath
Heaven and Hell
The original Dio album delivers, but it just hasn't got the same refined punch that Mob Rules has. There are some killer cuts, and not any real filler. There's just not as good flow, and not as high highpoints. | | 5 |  | Black Sabbath
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
This album is pretty darn sweet, but its often a little overrated because Vol 4 was pretty much a let down after MoR. The title track leads the charge, and there are a lot of choice cuts, but at this point Sabbath is starting to run short of ideas. | | 6 |  | Black Sabbath
Paranoid
This album is pretty much boring after four songs. War Pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man are AMAZING, with Planet Caravan being fairly nice. After that, this album is horrendously overrated and boring. | | 7 |  | Black Sabbath
Vol.4
After the stellar Master of Reality, they follow up with a rather unfocused hit or miss album. A lot of the tracks are great, a lot are misguided and weak. It doesn't scream the same amount of effort and uniqueness as its predecessors. However, it has a very nice guitar tone. This is by far the heaviest in terms of distortion by Sabbath by this point. | | 8 |  | Black Sabbath
Sabotage
Although it deserves to be in the 8 best black sabbath albums, it really shows how Ozzy was losing his edge. The band was still in their prime, they were just on their way down. Evident filler, repetitiveness, and the highs just aren't as high anymore. | |

12.09.07 | My lord, you called Hand of Doom and Fairies Wear Boots overrated and boring. That makes me sad, though the description fits Rat Salad and Electric Funeral in my book. I still have yet to get Master of Reality, but I'll get it some day. | McP3000
12.09.07 | Actually Faeries Wear Boots is fairly nice too, but it takes too long to get there :P | rasputin
12.09.07 | paranoid should be higher. I love every song on it except for Rat Salad which isn't anything special, and I've never liked Planet Caravan. Electric Funeral is awesome. | Phil
12.09.07 | I'm pretty sure Dio did 3 albums. I should be getting their s/t tomorrow. Unless I dont. | Meatplow
12.09.07 | The first 6 Ozzy albums are my top six, i've only listened to Heaven & Hell outside of this (not extensively mind you) so I won't add it.
I disagree with just about everything you've said here regarding the music :/
I've played all of the Ozzy albums to death, and I tell you what, apart from Paranoid every single one i disliked on first listen as it never measured up to the previous Sabbath albums I had listened to but they grew on me. Vol. 4 and Sabotage are excellent. | ASberg
12.09.07 | put mob rules and heaven and hell at the bottom and im kind of with you.
