Recommended Posts

I'm wearing one of my Sabbath Bloody Sabbath t-shirts today and just now it got me thinking about my Ozzy-era Sabbath album rankings (again) for the 6 billionth time. It never gets old!

 

So here's my latest rankings!

 

1. Paranoid

2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

3. Master of Reality

4. Sabotage

5. Vol 4

6. Black Sabbath

7. Never Say Die

8. Technical Ecstasy

 

What's yours?

I've heard four of them, and rank them as such:

 

SBS

Paranoid

MoR

BS

Why don't you listen to the rest of them?? :o

 

I go one at a time. Those are the ones I've gotten to so far. Same with any band. I can be very patient. It took me four years to listen through Queen's discography.

You're mad! Mad as a multiverse full of Mad Hatter galaxies and star systems!

Well it's not from the original era. I'm only including the 70's albums.

Because it's that easy for something to beat Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die even if you haven't heard it.

 

I enjoyed 13 a lot when it was new. But it didn't have a lot of staying power with me. Once I heard it enough to know the songs a little bit I just stopped listening to it. I don't think I've heard it in a few years. Not sure how much I would like it now.

Paranoid

V4

MoR

SBS

BS

Sabotage

TE

NSD

13

 

You were so close. But Never Say Die! is better than Technical Ecstasy.

 

I've gone back and forth on those two a lot. While I prefer the *sound* of NSD, I think TE overall has slightly stronger songs.

Vol. 4

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

Master of Reality

Sabotage

13

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Technical Ecstasy

Never Say Die

 

Wow. 13 ahead of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath?

Well the first 7 on my list including SBS could easily be number one or number seven. They're all fukking fantastic to me. I apparently like 13 better than most here (sounds like a cross between BS and Sabotage to me) and it seems I don't like SBS as much as most everyone else in the world. That's not to say it isn't brilliant, it is.

Good question. My 7th place ranking is a subjective decision based on listening to a handful of songs from 13 and the disparity in quality between Sabotage and their final two Ozzy era albums. It's hard to fathom 13 is great as Sabotage, but from what I've heard its got to be better than TE or NSD. How's that for a line of bullshit? :P

13 is a great album on its own, but IMO it's not in the same class as anything they released in their prime.
