Summary: Nativity In Black
Comment: I myself am a Black Sabbath fan. I find music I like and listen to it over and over... some I come to like. This album is the beginning. I call it "the intro". This album preceded 3 of the greatest albums ever created. Its interesting and cool to see how the greats began.
If you are interested as far as a fan is concerned. Buy this album. N.I.B. is a great song... but, if you are in it for "Iron Man"... you may be disappointed.
If you really believe Korn and Limp Bizkit qualify as a couple of the greats... please go away, you don't deserve to touch a Black Sabbath album. Show a little respect for the people who got where they are without releasing pop music with a grundge pedal.
Enjoy all who will. I thought it was decent enough to add to the collection.

Summary: The first album
Comment: Black Sabbath's first album, Black Sabbath, is a great album. Here is my track by track review.
1.Black Sabbath-10/10 Classic riff. It starts slow with church bells, and a thunderstorm followed by a monster riff by Iommi. Ozzy sings slow lyrics. It evantually speeds up.
2. The Wizard- 9.5/10 Cool song. Ozzy plays a harmonica. It is a little short, but a fun and interesting listen. Cool lyrics by Geezer.
3. Wasp- Behind the Wall of Sleep- Bassically- N.I.B- 10/10 My favorite on the album. Wasp is an intro to Behind the Wall of Sleep, and Bassically is an intro to N.I.B. Its pretty much 2 songs in 1. The effects on Ozzy's voice are cool on behind the wall of sleep. The left headphone has an echo while the right headphone is his normal voice. N.I.B is one of sabbath's best.
4. Wicked World-8.5/10- Not awful. Not my favorite either. Its just not as good compared to the other songs. I listen to it ocassionally.
5. A Bit of Finger- Sleeping Village- Warning- 9/10 Not much singing. Mostly Iommi's guitar playing with a HUGE solo. Fun to listen to.

Summary: This is THE one...
Comment: Paranoid may be more even and have some of the best songs. The Kinks may have one of the first "power chord" songs. The MC5 and Blue Cheer may have been metal "forerunners" predating Sabbath. Steppenwolf may have coined (or at least recorded) the phrase that describes it. Deep Purple and Zeppelin may have been as musically heavy (at moments) at almost the same time (debatable, but I'll give it to you anyway...). But, THIS IS THE FIRST.
The first heavy metal record by the first heavy metal band. Know why? All arguments and scholarly "but the Kinks..., but Blue Cheer..., but Zeppelin..." aside...
It's the DOOM.
Simple as that. No other band, bluesy as they still were (and this album is very bluesy compared to following Sabbath offerings) were simply as gloomy and oppressive as Sabbath were. This ain't no hippy B.S., this is the real stuff.
If you don't know this album and every note on it, you don't know metal.

Summary: Changed Everything
Comment: I was 11 years old when this came out. The spooky cover, the sound of evil coming out of the speakers. LOVED IT!!! If you think Ozzy is famous because of his tv show you have a lot to learn childrens. This record, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, are all part of the education. Get them all now.

Summary: Metal's debut
Comment: While Led Zeppelin may get credit for the birth of heavy metal, i'd have to argue about that. Black Sabbath brought the darkness into metal and its been there every since. This debut album is one of the finest metal recordings ever put on tape. You can listen to it straight thru without skipping a song. Highly recommend this album to fans of real metal.
