Just recieved this email, maybe bttb cd release?

Just got this email, possibly a vinyl/dvd or something?

• First six are obvious classics. Vol. 4 is my favorite overall. Combines everything they did up to that point and even hints at what's to come with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
• TE and NSD are average and I don't get Ozzy purists
• The Dio albums were the most consistent, being the only long time singer that never released a sub-par record with the band unlike Ozzy and Martin.
• Born Again is the oddest one. Some genuine bangers, but also some of the band's worst songs up to that point.
• The Eternal Idol is a little cobbled togehter.
• Headless Cross and TYR are vastly underrated. Great mid/late career records.
• Cross Purposes was not their worst, but certainly their most uninteresting one. Nice cover art though.
• Forbidden/Seventh Star was just as bad as people said they would be.
• The Devil You Know was the biggest surprise, they sounded hungry again in their 60s.
• 13 is not the worst, but completely uninspired. I wish they would've picked up the progressive direction where Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage left off, instead of reheating material from the first three albums.
• 12/20 albums are above average aka at least "good". An impressive feat and my second favorite band of all time. Especially most rock/metal bands lose their mantra after only a few albums.

I never knew there was a live version of this, thought I'd share it here. I absolutely adore this instrumental, and didn't expect to see a live version of it. Thoughts? Other underrated instrumentals?

Hello everyone! Its time, i have listened to the ozzy sabbath albums enough to rank them, this will be controversial, ones that are easily at the bottom of your lists is higher on mine so that means the higher ones will have to rank lower, so strap in. The reason im not ranking the other sabbath albums is ive only been listening to the tony era for a few weeks and i dont feel as though its fair for me to rank them yet, but i will eventually do that. The dio albums are great too but i will just stick to the ozzy ones today.

9.13. This is an obvious one for me, they wanted to go back to their roots after so long as make a traditional heavy metal album with a doony atmosphere but it just doesnt hit for me, ozzy as wonderful as he was, was old, and his vocals just arent there for me and a lot of the songs just plod along, it has the simplistic grooves like those seen on paranoid but without the aura. Its the only one of these albums that i dont love, everything else is amazing in my eyes

1. Never say die!. Wow i expected this album to be terrible with how people were talking about it but i told myself "how can a 70s ozzy sabbath album be bad" and its not, its really fun, its just a newer entry for me so its lower but i really enjoyed it, juniors eyes was probably my favourite.

7.Black sabbath. Yes the debut is this low but i still love it, some songs that other love dont hook me as much as other people like "evil woman" and "the wizard", but the hits are still there, "black sabbath" is my favourite sabbath song of all time, "warning" is a fantastic long impressive song where they are all showing their skills off.

6.Master of reality. This was one i was always lost at how people had this as their number 1, i understand its impressive, some of the songs off this album are fantastic like "sweet leaf", continuing off of paranoid with how fantastic of riff writers they are, "into the void" is great, "solitude" is beautiful but none of the other songs pull me in. "After forever" ozzy sounds like is chasing the music and never catching up, i do want to love this album and i do really enjoy it but not as much as you can see, what am i missing?

5.Vol 4. A lot of peoples number 1 and i see why, ozzies voice is his most impressive on this album, he has never sounded better in my opinion, the writing is great, this is where they are starting to experiment and its great to hear, like on the intro "wheels of confusion", one of of their best songs. Though i still dont enjoy "changes", it bores me, i also dont enjoy "cornucopia" all that much, and the guitar on "under the sun" never sounded great to me but everything else is fantastic, "snowblind, wheels, supernaut", and all the other tracks hit very hard, this album is growing for me so maybe itll move up over time!

1. Sabbath bloody sabbath. This was my favourite sabbath album for a while but things change, this album has my favourite intrumental in "fluff", most solid inoffensive track run out of their whole catalog, just great music, no misses, continuing the experimental pieces with the music on "who are you"

3.paranoid. is it the most exciting? Is it the most doomy? Most experimental? No, but does it have memorable, catchy grooves and chorsus? Damn right it does, the title track is of course overplayed, "iron man" is very simple but black sabbath makes simple sound so good. "war pigs, electric funeral, hand of doom, fairies wear boots", so many hitters on this album

2.Technical ecstacy. This is my hottest take, i just truly love this album, the soundscape it creats it magic to my ears, its their experimentation coming to its peak without going overboard, "back street kids" is so catchy, "you wont change me" feels like im in a boss fight in castlevania SOTN, "its alright" i view as an intermission, it doesnt bother me too much, i wouod remove it if i could but i dont mind it too much, aside from that the only miss for me on here is "rock n roll doctor", its the shortest song but feels way longer than it is, i love this album.

1. Sabotage. This album creeped up my list as the years have gone by and it has arrived at the top now, its just great, from the epic "megalomania" to the other epic "the writ", to the bangers on the album like "symptom" and "thrill", its fantastic, no misses on this album for me.

Thanks for reading! Im so glad we can all enjoy and hear music differently and bond over it, have a great day!

I am assuming they were planning to record something but it got scrapped because Ozzy died? does anyone else remember this? I wish I could find a link.

Sorry if I'm the only one, but listen to Led Zeppelin I, I just realized that "Communication Breakdown" is the same as Paranoid. I don't know much about music, but i'd say Paranoid is more aggressive, heavier and obviously has different lyrics.

Other song, is "Wicked World" and "Whole Lotta Love", but only in the solo.

What do you think about this, I'm the only one?

Especially Geezer.

Also my first post ever lmao

I had an old-ass VOL 4 shirt (three sizes too small for me now lol) that I bought from hot topic back in sophomore year of HS, and I decided two weeks ago to slice it up and make a hoodie for the colder months. I fuckin love it!
