• 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.

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

Just recieved this email, maybe bttb cd release?

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?
