| 5.0 classic |
| Black Sabbath Paranoid |
| No sophomore slump. The definitive Sabbath record of the Ozzy-era. Well constructed and containing plenty of memorable songs. |
| Black Sabbath Master of Reality |
| For their third album, Sabbath was able to up the intensity level, which was already amazing to start with. Some of the heaviest music Sabbath ever created. |
| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath |
| One of the most influential albums in the history of recorded music. It also spawned a whole genre of music for which it remains a benchmark. |
| Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell |
| The first record without the full original lineup. Sabbath reinvents themselves with the help of new singer Ronnie James Dio. Some will argue a Sabbath without the four original is not Sabbath. Well, even if that was the case, it would still be a brilliant new band! The title track is legendary, several other songs are classics. |
| Black Sabbath Mob Rules |
| Another lineup change, Appice replaces Ward. While this loss is felt, Iommi, Butler and Dio craft amazing songs. Where Heaven and Hell had more of a classic rock vibe, this record is heavier and much darker. |
| Black Sabbath Born Again |
| Death Symbolic |
| I'm not the biggest death metal fan around but really, this is such a great album that it transcends its genre. As much as Death is praised for the technical prowess, what shines most here are the memorable songs. This album is filled with great melodies, interesting textures and clever arrangements, further elevated by skilled musicians who really put their heart into this one. If you need only one death metal album, this is the one. |
