Technical Ecstacy

I brought this CD some time ago on Amazon to replace a worn out copy (I originally got it on a cassette tape) and it is without a doubt one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I also recently got it as an Amazon Music download for AM on my iPhone. This album found Black Sabbath at the very top of their game and the band that gave us classics such as `Fluff`, `Sabra Cadabra` and` National Acrobat`, have delivered a stunning album. Am just listening to Rock and Roll Doctor a rocking classic, before that Gypsy, so deep and soulful. Then there is the definitive track` You wont change me` so melodic and words for every man to remember, the lyrical `Its Alright` is so beautiful and stirring. Dirty Woman another rocking track which is musically superb and that's the amazing thing about this particular Sabbath album, every track is a masterpiece unlike most of their albums which have loads of iffy numbers interspersed with the great. If you like Led Zep, Deep Purple and other 70,s Rock Bands , then this is an must for your collection and to remind you what todays Snowflakes are missing.

My friend bought this lp back when I was a teenager - he didnt like it ! I agree ! Black Sabbath had so many great albums up until this one. In fact they were all great until this one. In this album they try and be sophisticated and clever by bringing in keyboards and abandoning the crushing metal riffs - at times you could think you're listening to Queen. Probably best not to buy unless you really really want to own all their albums.

This CD is as good as the cassette many years ago.

Excellent band and music.

had this album on tape finally replaced and rightly so
