My favorite Ozzy era Black Sabbath Album

This album kicks. A masterpiece of metal. An awesomeness I can't seem to justify in words except to say, check it out and see for yourself. July 30, 2008

Where it started to slip

Still a five star favorite, still an absolute must have... "Supernaut" and "Snowblind" are my favorite Sabbath songs, by far. "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener" is awesome, and the "Laguna Sunrise" is an (out of character, sort of) but cool acoustic piece.

However, I DETEST the ballad "Changes". Hate it, hate it, hate it. Don't know why, don't care. Sorry, but Ozzy's voice just makes me cringe on this one and it always has... other than that, it's an awe inspiring album, and still great (if not on the level of the first three). June 11, 2008

Buy this now!

Amazing. I am speechless. This kept the creative flow that Black Sabbath, Paranoid, And Master of Reality set. "Wheels of Confusion", "Supernaut", "Snowblind", "Cornucopia", and "Tomorrows Dream" are just a few good cuts. However, When listening to "Under the Sun", I expected another one of Tony's Genius ballad instrumental(Which I cannot stress as to how good they are) But what I listened to was even better. A very sludgy opening riff, and great chord progressing. Buy this. Its a heavy metal essential and cannot be passed up. April 1, 2008

A Heavy Metal classic! Black Sabbath at its best!

Certainly, in these "modern times" making a comment of a Heavy Metal music album may sound like 'out of time', 'music my dad heard when he was a foolish teen buddy', and so on.

However, this Vol. 4 from Black Sabbath is a surprise box. Lots of guitar riffs, the screaming and sometimes terrifying voice of Ozzy Osbourne, songs that mix pure Heavy Rock music with Latin and even classical chords... Wow!

This album is a must-have for any serious Rock listener and collector. February 15, 2008

Experimental Sabbath Begins

Though they hinted at experimentation on Master of Reality, Vol 4
is the first truly experimental album from the great Black Sabbath. Of course, it isn't all different, and Sabbath are still heavy as hell, but this album shows their ability to break the mold that they themselves cast, and to try something different. To some extent, this album suffers somewhat from the new direction, and their efforts to do something different while remaining heavy are better realized on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but it still marks an important moment in the development of Sabbath.
