Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered edition of this 1973 album from the veteran Heavy Metal maniacs. From the grinding riff of the opening title track, the album showed that despite the band pushing back musical boundaries, they'd lost none of their aggression. `A National Acrobat' and `Sabbra Cadabra' (the latter, which featured Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman) were equally heavy, imposing tracks, whilst `Killing Yourself To Live' and the sci-fi themed `Spiral Architect' rate as some of the band's best tracks. And even if the excellent title track was curiously rarely featured in the band's live set at the time, the gentle acoustic guitar work of `Fluff' can still be heard as fans file out of Black Sabbath gigs the world over. Little wonder some claim Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the greatest album that the `classic' line-up recorded. This is an album that oozes class from start to finish. Sanctuary. 2009.

Best version on CD of this album!

"Get this version. It is the best, and is better than the Castle remaster. I have both, and I know."
Best of the Ozzy era

"My title isn't meant to be a knock on their previous 4 albums, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is, well...different, but different in a good way.



You have your heavy stuff, like the title track and "A National Acrobat". And then comes along "Fluff", a great acoustic intrumental that shows a softer side of Sabbath. Tony Iommi's guitar work is great on that track. "Sabbra Cadabra" blends the trademark Sabbath sound with some psychedelic elements. The second half of the album has a more experimental sound to it, with "Killing Yourself To Live" and "Spiral Architect" being the best tracks in the second half.



This is also a great re-master - nothing is mixed too loud, and you won't hear clipping like you do on other re-mastered CDs. Highly recommended"
