Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath (CD, Jan-1990, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

For all the fans of Black Sabbath "Sabbath bloody Sabbath" was a sign of the soon coming end to the first metal band. Having lost the edge of the 1st 2 albums, the musical change that started with Master of reality, Vol 4 and sabbatoge was now coming full circle, fame had done it's dirty work leaving Ozzy and much of the band out of control. This was seen for all fans with ABC'S late night program "IN CONCERT" (reival to NBC's Midnight Special program). The performance at "California Jam" was to be the event of the summer, and the bands 1st national live apperance and turned into one of their wrost concerts ever, the nigth night program became the head stone for "Sabbath bloody Sabbath" with Albums sales weak at best largely due to the Highly Satanic Album cover and title (too much for the most parents day)the summer of 1975 would cast a deadly spell for Black Sabbath. For fans of the band like myself this was pretty much the end, most of the tunes are good, but none are great, Ozzys vocals are covered up with studio effects, combined with Tony's use of the same riffs used from past Lp's give's the music a feel of just going thru the motions, just to get thru the record deal and make some money to pay for their coke and boz the band had quickly falling victim too. This is one of the last Sabbath cd's I've gotten mostly to finish the 1st seven albums that I and many others feel are the real Black Sabbath.

Its Ozzy at his best what else is there to say!!!!
