Saw a cute ginger wearing a shirt of this album on the first day of high school. So, then I wore one of my black sabbath shirts in the following days and caught his attention in this way. Seven years of dating after and now we're getting married next month. Thank this album for leading me to my soulmate and for being one of my personal favorite albums of all time.
In my opinion not just laying the ground work but and creating the genre they surpassed it before it was even born! I think Heavier maybe not as fast but lyrics and choruses better before and after!
@@stefanschleps8758Budgie didn’t start anything. Just because they had a heavier sound doesn’t mean they invented it, had a hand in it? Sure. You could say the opening to Helter Skelter is the birth of heavy, as that was the heaviest song at the time and every band from Budgie to Black Sabbath were inspired by. Sabbath wrote the blueprint and Judas Priest picked it up, and built the house.
I agree, the tone of the guitar sounds even heavier than on War Pigs. I noticed that the bass is farther back in the mix than it was on their second album.
@@Seventh7Art Deep Purple In Rock is a different kind of proto metal. It was pretty much just fast loud blues rock. Sabbath was an entirely new paradigm of rock music
@@KendrickMegaFan I disagree.... Bloodsucker, Flight of the Rat, Hard Loving Man etc. contained true heavy metal riffs, screaming metal vocals and metal guitar solos...
I’ll never forget being 5 in 1987. Up to then I’d only heard Motown, Beatles, Jazz and classical in my home. Then all at the same time my uncle gave me a skateboard and dubbed tapes of this and paranoid and my real life took off from there. I was no longer a regular kid. I was a skater and a metal head. Tastes have changed over the years but I still skate and listen to Sabbath with my kids and they love it too.

The ONLY way... its rare anymore to find newer bands whose music you desire to listen to the entire album in full, like the ones back in the day. There ARE some out there, yet, they're far and few between..
I am 65 and this takes me back .......I can still remember all the words and music to all the songs...Rock on all of us stoners.....so great to hear them all again....have the album in the attic.......love this band.........
@@MrMusicopath It's that muddy doom tone. It's an acquired taste. It sounds like Toni Iommi was using the neck pickup on his SG here but I may be wrong.
This album changed everything! Consider yourself fortunate to if you were listening to this in ‘71 and still around to love and enjoy it today. Us old guys rock 🤘🤘🤘
First of all, their name is capitalized because of: Respect. Honor. Enjoyment. Audial satisfaction that creates an EMOTIONAL high... THAT'S why always BLACK SABBATH is capitalized ! Oh, BTW, that's their legal name also 🙄
they're so great, i have NEVER not listened to them. had this LP, and Sabotage as soon as they hit the shelves. EVERYFUCKYBODY had sabbath, bloody sabbath. they are so monumental, listening to them in the 2010s gave me new-found appreciation of many of the bands of the late 60s and early 70s.
I'm 62, and Children of the Grave is, by far, the most poignant, future -telling song that's ever been written! A warning to and advice, from the Sabbath! Chills? Yes, and to the bone!

Rock and role is my religion and my love. I am stuck in a time warp. 1970 era music was the greatest. Sabbath was the hardest rocking band of them all.
This album is Sabbath at their very best. I'm 68 years old and I still remember the day I bought this album. Still better than anything out to this day. Sabbath rules!
Much love to your cool dad. Mine took me to see Diary of a Madman in Knoxville TN. When I was 9yrs old. Thank God I too, had a cool dad!!!! That was the last time anyone ever seen Randy Rhodes play live cause he died in the A.M......,
My dad & me listened to all the Sabbath albums together. He's gone too, and I miss him dearly we rode motorcycles together, and I'm crying writing this! :-)
Im one of those dads, and still rock,n to this, and so are your dads ! 👍😀🎶, this rock never dies , and niether do dad,s, you can hear them , see them , and love them , and the proof you can hear in this🎶, your dads are alive 🎶👍
There have been some pretty incredible bands out of Britain: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, UFO, Jethro Tull, Saxon, just to name some of my favorites. Trust me Black Sabbath is top three on my list!
Iconic album, no doubt. Sabbath was in the zone: the writing, Ozzie's voice, the band in synch, and all for us, their fans. I first listened to it when my elder brother Bob, now gone, played it incessantly in our home. I got hooked. I'm 60, still hooked. Thanks, Bob. And thank you Black Sabbath.
I got this 8-track from my crazy, alcoholic uncle back in 1979. The 8 track is dead, and so is my uncle...but I have the vinyl, the CD, and the more recent Deluxe Expanded Edition CD, which I have purchased over the years. This album is the heaviest of all the Sabbath albums and is the ultimate blueprint for Heavy Metal.
It amazes me how Iron Man and Paranoid is what people seem to remember about Ozzy era Black Sabbath. How sweet leaf, Fairies wear boots, children of the grave, etc aren't the black sabbath go-to's is beyond me
+Christian Panero Yes.Yes.Yes. Heavy. Heavy. Heavy. A lead submarine with wings...you can hear those rocket engines just like you can hear that Crazy Train goin off the rails...but I really don't get all the obsessive arguing and insults about genres and categories all over these comments all the time...it's the least important element to even give any consideration to, muchless get into a silly cyber tantrum about...now say it three times, silly cyber tantrum, silly cyber tantrum, silly cyber tantrum, that's right, because that's what everybody is so passionately arguing about, this genre, that genre, in the real world, that job is left to file clerks...file clerks, thats the pay-grade of these arguments...taste the wine don't sit and read the lable; it's art, man, it's round...it ain't square!

This was the first album I ever bought with my own money, at 7 years old, and I still have the exact physical one. This and The Doors L.A. Woman are my favorite two albums in the world (still have that one, too).
I'm listening to this as I type. Sabbath and the Doors, oh yeah. Sadly though, a few months after I got out of boot camp Jim Morrison passed away...the third major player in rock history to go in less than a year. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin Sept and Oct of '70. All of the 27 club.
It was also my first album. In 1975 me and my buddy Nick saved up our yard mowing money and walked to town and bought this album and a bag of weed. Been a Sabbath fan ever since.
At 20,i tought i discovered all there is,regarding music..at 24,i tought my journey with music was over..Now at 26,i redescovered black sabbath,and a new hope has sparkled...
There's no doubt that lineup had the most inspirational records and are all legends. Just need to add Dio's name to the list if your talking metal gods who played in sabbath. Dehumanizer, man!!!
@@Ugc-ri4tw Ian Gilliam also. I wasn't trying to go there , I was merely trying to give insight to a possible sabbath fan whom hasn't had the experience of sabbath's entirety of legend musicians lineups. You seem well educated. I meant no offense and wasn't preaching. Just trying to broaden people's mind to other sabbath that's not always the normal normal focus of most. Rock on man!🤘🎸
July 21, 2021 On this day 50 years ago, Black Sabbath released their third album and one of their most heaviest, Master Of Reality. Having detuned the guitars and tempos ranging from sludgy slowness to thrash speeds, the sound was thicker and riffs heavier than anything that came before, while lyrics were preoccupied with marijuana (Sweet Leaf), revolt/protest (Children Of The Grave), religious themes (After Forever), sci-fi escapism (Into The Void) and loneliness (Solitude). Though lambasted at the time for its sound by critics, it became one of the most influential rock/metal albums of all time, pivotal in the development of metal sub-genres stoner, doom and sludge and influenced many bands from Metallica to Nirvana. An album truly ahead of its time.
I saw them perform this album April 1st 1972 Greensboro Coliseum. I had four seats front-row dead center. These were not the cheap $4 seats. I had to pay the premium $6 per seat LOL
Awesome song from a great band. Black Sabbath was how I connected with my mom. She bought me this album, and one of my best memories was me and my mom going to the reunion tour together, about 20 years ago... She got so stoned I doubt she remembered much about it. Miss you mom! (1948-2021. Requiescat In Pace)
Sometimes You Just Need to Straighten Out Your Head . And Go Back And Listen to One Of The Greatest Bands of All ! I Saw These Guys Live . Born Again 1983 ! Great . I Did See Ozzy In 1981 !
Bills drumming on sweet leaf and ozzys "all right now!" And "I love you" is some of the hardest hitting sounds to ever open up an album. It legit makes me want to headbang a hole through my wall
Criminally underrated drummer. Personally, Sabbath's unsung hero. Up with there with the likes of John Bonham, Vinnie Paul, Clive Burr and Nick Menza. ❤❤ Edit: I loved the fact that Bill sang 'Swinging the Chain' instead of Ozzy. Great performance.
My father bought the album back in 1971 and he had to stand in line there for more than 7 hours, he listened to the vinyl record so much that the record started to get scratched as often as he listened to it. Now I'm 44 years old and I'm the one who still has it with several cuts and I'm the one who listens to it every week until spotify allows me to!!! I love and always will love the black sabbath ❤️❤️!!!
Love it. My first two CD's that my mom bought me were Dark Side of the Moon and Houses of the Holy. Needless to say my mom directed in the right direction. Plus my dad was a goofy white boy from Detroit. So I got the Motown angle from that side too :
Grew up listening to punk and industrial metal in the 80s, never listened to this in full. Can say that I can hear how all of the hard 80s bands were influenced by Black Sabbath 🤘awesome listen!!
BLACK SABBATH - Master of Reality (Full Album) 1014am 28.3.22 ua-cam.com/video/myjEoDypUD8/v-deo.html and people i know grew up listening to this band....as i inadvertently listened while they played their music... formative years are a pretty good point in one's life to ground oneself with decent rock music...listening to such bands during one's childhood is no big deal. the only surprise re: this channel is that there are only few features with reference to black sabbath added to it. there must be masses of footage or bootlegs out there they could add...(?) ua-cam.com/video/myjEoDypUD8/v-deo.html
Right!? My (evangelical) sister-in-law gave me this album after reading the lyrics on the back. Thought it was a Christian rock band. Man, was she surprised to hear this!
Volume 4, maybe the most overlooked release, conjures up those special memories for me growing up. Master does too but my my favorite after Paranoid is 4.
I was a "weed head" when I was a teen I liked my weed & my beer & I can't even begin to tell anyone the amount of times this album was on my turntable.... relaxing chilling out & BLASTING Sabbath....
Was a big Sabbath fan in my early teens in the early 80s. All these years later, whilst I wouldn't spend the hours listening that I used to, this still makes the hairs on my neck stand up. They were unique IMHO.
I replied to a comment on here about 2 mos ago...every time I get a response...I listen to the whole album again...is this,normal? Hell yeah! Rock forever! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Learned every song on my guitar in highschool in 1977. Then saw them live in Hollywood Florida and Van Halen opened the show and nobody had heard of them! The best rock music ever made it never gets old! Rock on my '70's brothers and sisters
Was it in 78, Never say Die?? I saw that in S. Yarmouth, Massachusettes,Cape Cod Coloseum. We had no idea who Van Halen was before the show. We knew at the end!!!!❤😮😊
It still sounds great. I do wish they had recorded the bass a bit better (more like it was on the first two albums), otherwise I'd say it sounds perfect.
This and Zepp are my all time favs since 1972 yup ive been rocking balls for fifty years , yup even at 62 i look 50 ish with long azz curly hair most of it is Black Sabbath still to this day 11-11-22 :)
I have been a Sabbath fanatic since 71 was 11years old. Still rocking it out with them. They have no stinkers as albums. Some are of course better than others. Even the so called worst albums would kick the living you know what out of every one else. With the notable exception of two. Judas Priest, and Saxon. I got into Priest in 78 and Saxon in 80. This is my holy trinity. Sabbath of course are always going to be my number one, but not by much. As for trolls. They are absolute losers, who listen to garbage like C-Rap. and Rave. So called music for the terminally brain-dead. On the subject Trolls on film don't fare well. Some numb nut can troll me until their fingers fall off. My advice to them is quit with Dungeons and dragons, Call of duty and all that shit. Get outside take a breath of fresh air. It's still free you know. Stop listening to crap.
I've Just listened to this album today for the first time and it blew my mind,theres so much emotion in each one of the songs and the whole album gives me an energy that i cant describe properly in words.I dont even like heavy metal that much but this album its so good that i can't say that i don't like it,definitely an obligated listen if you like music,everyone should listen to this masterpiece,its a shame that i havent until now but theres always the first time for everything. Btw sorry for the grammar,im not native speaker.
My dad gave me his phone to play video games back in 2014 and then I stumbled in his music playlist and it was just black sabbath songs Then I fell in love to metal
I have loved Black Sabbath since I found an this album on the ground by my neighbors trash can when young. Later I joined the Army and became a tanker. When in Germany I named my tank Warpigs. Thanks Ozzy and crew for helping me find reality in life!
THE GOAT's of Metal ...Turned onto them in the mid 70's...Love them even more now...:)...It saddens me to know there are BILLIONS of people who have never heard a single chord...~sigh~
DAMN! I got this ALBUM in 1974 when I was 12 and in 6th grade. In 7th grade we had a cool teacher that was into "Electric Light Orchestra" (ELO) and would bring in his albums for us to listen to. So one day I asked him if I could bring an album in for the class to listen to, and he said sure 😏. So I brought in Master of Reality 😉. First he said he never heard of Black Sabbath? 🤯 *?*WWHHAATT!!* but he liked the album cover with the lyrics on the back. Well to make a long story short He LOVED IT & became a big fan 🤗 (and so did most of my classmates) 👍GOD Bless BLACK SABBATH 😜
When I was 12 and in 6th Grade, I remember Tom Petty - Refugee was playing, like some year end party thing, but then the teacher turned it off because one of the girls said her parents didn't allow her to listen to music like that. She was a very recent Vietnamese immigrant, so maybe it was the lyrics more than the genre that upset her.
Similar situation, though our music teacher did have "Pictures At An Exhibition" by ELP as a sort of compromise to his pupils rock music interest whilst containing classical elements that he liked. I got him to play "Caress Of Steel" by Rush, which he received with muted interest, whilst it was hated by all of the girls. They wanted him to play the "Grease" album. A anarchic element in the class managed to hoodwink him into playing "Frigging In The Rigging" by the Sex Pistols.
I havent heard this album in years and now I know why I loved Black Sabbath ...they just rocked!! They are no doubt the Godfathers and inventors of Heavy Metal!!
There was one band who came out first. Black Sabbath used the same type of sound. The Band? Figid Pink. The song? House of the rising sun, 1968. Find, and enjoy!
I just turned 60. Just like before, I listen again (full blast) to Sabbath everyday. Freed me from anxiety and sure beats the hell out of lockdowns and quarantine.
I was taught at 5 yrs old how to operate my uncle's record player. I listened to all my aunts and uncles albums but my dad's albums were the best. Rolling Stones, Eagles, Deep Purple, Hendrix, etc.. I came across one album and the cover was kinda spooky. It had a picture of an old building with some kind of a lady that I thought was a witch standing in front of it. 😮 I put it on and that was the first time I heard Black Sabbath! I was blown away and fell immediately in love with heavy metal,😊 been listening to it ever since!
Lyrics: Sweet Leaf: Alright now Won't you listen? When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you or your surprise You introduced me to my mind And left me wanting you and your kind Oh, yeah! I love you Oh, you know it My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you, sweet leaf Though you can't hear Oh, yeah! Come on now Try it out Straight people don't know What you're about They put you down and shut you out You gave to me a new belief And soon the world Will love you, sweet leaf Oh, yeah, baby! Come on now! Oh, yeah! Try me out, baby! Alright! Oh, yeah-ah I want you part of this sweet leaf Oh, yeah! Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh-oh, try me out I love you, sweet leaf, oh After Forever: Have you ever thought about your soul Can it be saved? Or perhaps you think That when you are dead You just stay in your grave Is God just a thought within your head Or is he a part of you? Is Christ just a name That you read in the book When you were in school? When you think about death Do you lose your breath Or do you keep your cool? Would you like to see the Pope On the end of a rope? Do you think he's a fool? Well, I have seen the truth Yes, I've seen the light And I've changed my ways And I'll be prepared When you're lonely and scared At the end of our days Could it be you're afraid Of what your friends might say If they knew you believe in God above? They should realise before they criticise That God is the only way to love Is your mind so small That you have to fall In with the pack wherever they run? Will you still sneer when death is near And say that you may as well Worship the sun? I think it was true it was people like you That crucified Christ I think it is sad the opinion you had Was the only one voiced Will you be so sure When your day is near Say you don't believe? You had the chance But you turned it down Now you can't retrieve Perhaps you'll think before you say That God is dead and gone Open your eyes, just realise That He is the one The only one who can save you now From all this sin and hate Or will you jeer at all you hear? Yes, I think it's too late Embryo: [Instrumental] Children of the Grave: Revolution in their minds The children start to march Against the world In which they have to live And all the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around And told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won And love comes flowing through Yeah! Children of tomorrow live In the tears that fall today Will the sunrise of tomorrow Bring in peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow Of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace Or will they disappear? Yeah! So you children of the world Listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in Spread the word today Show the world that love is still alive You must be brave Or you children of today Are children of the grave, yeah! Children of the grave Children of the grave Children of the grave Orchid: [Instrumental] Lord of this World: You're searching for your mind, don't know where to start Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart You think you know, but you are never quite sure Your soul is ill, but you will not find a cure, yeah! Your world was made for you by someone above But you choose evil ways instead of love You made me master of the world where you exist The soul I took from you was not even missed, yeah! Lord of this world Evil possessor Lord of this world He's your confessor now You think you're innocent, you've nothing to fear You don't know me you say, but isn't it clear? You turn to me in all your wordly greed and pride But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah! Solitude: My name it means nothing, my fortune is less My future is shrouded in dark wilderness Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on Everything I possessed, now, they are gone They are gone, they are gone... Oh, where can I go to and what can I do? Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you You just laughed when I begged you to stay I've not stopped crying since you went away You went away, you went away... The world is a lonely place, you're on your own Guess I will go home, sit down and moan Crying and thinking is all that I do Memories I have remind me of you Of you, of you... Into the Void: Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the night sky they blast Through the universe the engines whine Could it be the end of man and time? Back on earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the black sky so vast Burning metal through the atmosphere Earth remains in worry, hate and fear With the hateful battles raging on Rockets flying to the glowing sun Through the empires of eternal void Freedom from the final suicide Freedom fighters sent out to the sun Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution Leave the earth to all its sin and hate Find another world where freedom waits, yeah Past the stars in fields of ancient void Through the shields of darkness where they find Love upon a land a world unknown Where the sons of freedom make their home Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves Leave them to their future in their grave Make a home where love is there to stay Peace and happiness in every day
Black Sabbath never gets old . ive been listening since I was 12 in 1982. Sabbath is still my favorite and I produced 2 offspring that love it as much as me so I’m a proud mother of 2 sabbath heads ❤

What would we have done without black sabbath? The greatest heavy band ever. Incomparable. No question.
I would venture to say first heavy metal band.
First of all, their name is capitalized because of:
Respect.
Honor.
Enjoyment.
Audial satisfaction that creates an EMOTIONAL high...
THAT'S why always BLACK SABBATH is capitalized !
Oh, BTW, that's their legal name also 🙄

they're so great, i have NEVER not listened to them. had this LP, and Sabotage as soon as they hit the shelves. EVERYFUCKYBODY had sabbath, bloody sabbath.

U kidding they were jamming to Jimi Hendrix fuck them
Yup!
Rock and role is my religion and my love. I am stuck in a time warp. 1970 era music was the greatest. Sabbath was the hardest rocking band of them all.
Yes yes yes
right there with you
And don’t forget Deep Purple they were considered Heavy Metal back then
Into the Void.. . still ahead of it's time in 2019. Nothing comes close.

@@saleconomos473 I had seriously cool elder siblings.
Me and my daughter did the same
Black Sabbath had the best rhythm section and vocals of any hard rock/metal group in rock history to this day!
Yes it is ,my opinion is the same
I’d say they were leaders can’t complain Metallica Judas priests d io Pink Floyd deep purple dokken white snake
Bonham & JBP?
There have been some pretty incredible bands out of Britain: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, UFO, Jethro Tull, Saxon, just to name some of my favorites. Trust me Black Sabbath is top three on my list!
How bout the drums in "children of the grave"?
Iconic album, no doubt. Sabbath was in the zone: the writing, Ozzie's voice, the band in synch, and all for us, their fans. I first listened to it when my elder brother Bob, now gone, played it incessantly in our home. I got hooked. I'm 60, still hooked. Thanks, Bob. And thank you Black Sabbath.
Do not mistake this album as their success story, though...

The 8 track is dead, and so is my uncle...but I have the vinyl, the CD, and the more recent Deluxe Expanded Edition CD, which I have purchased over the years. This album is the heaviest of all the Sabbath albums and is the ultimate blueprint for Heavy Metal.
It amazes me how Iron Man and Paranoid is what people seem to remember about Ozzy era Black Sabbath. How sweet leaf, Fairies wear boots, children of the grave, etc aren't the black sabbath go-to's is beyond me
And After Forever. That song as well. Killer track
it's cause they are niot fans just posers
You could say that for all genius songs from Master od Reality, SBS, Volume 4 and Sabotage

RIGHT on bro. Thank YOU for sharing this.
Thanks for taking the time to do that. I wish uploaders would provide them, but most don't.
This was the first album I ever bought with my own money, at 7 years old, and I still have the exact physical one. This and The Doors L.A. Woman are my favorite two albums in the world (still have that one, too).
I'm listening to this as I type. Sabbath and the Doors, oh yeah. Sadly though, a few months after I got out of boot camp Jim Morrison passed away...the third major player in rock history to go in less than a year. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin Sept and Oct of '70. All of the 27 club.
Then you are a happy man.
It was also my first album. In 1975 me and my buddy Nick saved up our yard mowing money and walked to town and bought this album and a bag of weed. Been a Sabbath fan ever since.
fuck yeah
You must be a badass to have had that much insight at 7
At 20,i tought i discovered all there is,regarding music..at 24,i tought my journey with music was over..Now at 26,i redescovered black sabbath,and a new hope has sparkled...
Ozzy , Geezer , Ward , Iomi , Metal Gods
There's no doubt that lineup had the most inspirational records and are all legends. Just need to add Dio's name to the list if your talking metal gods who played in sabbath. Dehumanizer, man!!!

July 21, 2021
On this day 50 years ago, Black Sabbath released their third album and one of their most heaviest, Master Of Reality. Having detuned the guitars and tempos ranging from sludgy slowness to thrash speeds, the sound was thicker and riffs heavier than anything that came before, while lyrics were preoccupied with marijuana (Sweet Leaf), revolt/protest (Children Of The Grave), religious themes (After Forever), sci-fi escapism (Into The Void) and loneliness (Solitude). Though lambasted at the time for its sound by critics, it became one of the most influential rock/metal albums of all time, pivotal in the development of metal sub-genres stoner, doom and sludge and influenced many bands from Metallica to Nirvana. An album truly ahead of its time.
This sounds extremely gay...no offense
If say about influence who noticed Sweet Leaf's riff in Give it away of RHCP outro?
Solitude created Emo
I was 14 ❤❤
I saw them perform this album April 1st 1972 Greensboro Coliseum. I had four seats front-row dead center. These were not the cheap $4 seats. I had to pay the premium $6 per seat LOL
Ozzy is one of my favourite vocalists. Such a real and emotional voice.
Ann Wilson another
The 'Voice of Doom' .... metal's all-time heaviest vocalist. Captures the mood perfectly every time.
Ozzy, Dio( RIP), Tate, 🤘🤘🤘
Dino Sommese of Dystopia does it really well.
This is the ultimate Sabbath Album, my first ever album purchase!!
me as well
I hear you.
My little brother still talks about me introducing him to life with this album. Glad to say, he's still around and so is my album.
I found my older brothers 8 tracks this and many others. when he went off to college.
My dad introduced me to Black Sabbath and Frank Zappa at the ripe old age of 6/7 years old. Nothing beats the two. Ill be 40 this year.
@@salmonjanet My brother introduced me to Sabbath around age 9.

His ability to mix various styles (groove, jazz, blues...) is pure genius

It's okay clauset stoner you can come out now

Awesome song from a great band. Black Sabbath was how I connected with my mom. She bought me this album, and one of my best memories was me and my mom going to the reunion tour together, about 20 years ago... She got so stoned I doubt she remembered much about it. Miss you mom!

Bills drumming on sweet leaf and ozzys "all right now!" And "I love you" is some of the hardest hitting sounds to ever open up an album. It legit makes me want to headbang a hole through my wall
so true
Been there, done that ...ouch.
I was keying on the drums as I read your post. Fantastic.
Bill Ward is phenomenal
Criminally underrated drummer. Personally, Sabbath's unsung hero. Up with there with the likes of John Bonham, Vinnie Paul, Clive Burr and Nick Menza. ❤❤
Edit: I loved the fact that Bill sang 'Swinging the Chain' instead of Ozzy. Great performance.
Yes the drums in this album are excellent!

My father bought the album back in 1971 and he had to stand in line there for more than 7 hours, he listened to the vinyl record so much that the record started to get scratched as often as he listened to it.

Right on brother, Sabbath holds a very very special spot in my heart, seriously.
I have black light since 1970 listening to this hahaha black light time still works
Right!? My (evangelical) sister-in-law gave me this album after reading the lyrics on the back.
Thought it was a Christian rock band. Man, was she surprised to hear this!
Volume 4, maybe the most overlooked release, conjures up those special memories for me growing up. Master does too but my my favorite after Paranoid is 4.
Master runs a close 3rd.
I was a "weed head" when I was a teen I liked my weed & my beer & I can't even begin to tell anyone the amount of times this album was on my turntable.... relaxing chilling out & BLASTING Sabbath....
Was a big Sabbath fan in my early teens in the early 80s. All these years later, whilst I wouldn't spend the hours listening that I used to, this still makes the hairs on my neck stand up. They were unique IMHO.

It's honestly mind blowing how crisp the mix is for an album that's half a century old
it's almost as if music was better back then
@@WHAC420 indeed... Music was so much better back then 🙄😓
Along with Judas Priest's "Sad Wings of Destiny" these two albums delivered to the world it's first 2 doses of 100% unadulterated Heavy Metal.
A perfect mix is much harder to achieve with a 3 pcs band. That and the lack of today's technology makes this album even more inspiring
It still sounds great. I do wish they had recorded the bass a bit better (more like it was on the first two albums), otherwise I'd say it sounds perfect.
In my mind Master of Reality is THE BEST metal record ever!
And there is no heavier album of the 70's than MOR!
It`s got my vote.
Paranoid is very good too.
I love Sabbath but never considered them "metal".
i'm still with Paranoid, but this gotta be on my Top-3 for sure.

I have been a Sabbath fanatic since 71 was 11years old. Still rocking it out with them. They have no stinkers as albums. Some are of course better than others. Even the so called worst albums would kick the living you know what out of every one else. With the notable exception of two. Judas Priest, and Saxon.
I got into Priest in 78 and Saxon in 80. This is my holy trinity.
Sabbath of course are always going to be my number one, but not by much.
As for trolls.
They are absolute losers, who listen to garbage like C-Rap. and Rave.
So called music for the terminally brain-dead.
On the subject Trolls on film don't fare well.
Some numb nut can troll me until their fingers fall off. My advice to them is quit with Dungeons and dragons, Call of duty and all that shit. Get outside take a breath of fresh air. It's still free you know.
Stop listening to crap.
I've Just listened to this album today for the first time and it blew my mind,theres so much emotion in each one of the songs and the whole album gives me an energy that i cant describe properly in words.I dont even like heavy metal that much but this album its so good that i can't say that i don't like it,definitely an obligated listen if you like music,everyone should listen to this masterpiece,its a shame that i havent until now but theres always the first time for everything.

I think the last album was the end, they came in with the rain and left with it. Another IOMMI or G//Z/R album would be great though.
it will
but the music will live on
DAMN! I got this ALBUM in 1974 when I was 12 and in 6th grade.
In 7th grade we had a cool teacher that was into "Electric Light Orchestra"
(ELO) and would bring in his albums for us to listen to. So one day I asked him if I could bring an album in for the class to listen to, and he said sure 😏. So I brought in Master of Reality 😉. First he said he never heard of
Black Sabbath? 🤯 *?*WWHHAATT!!*
but he liked the album cover with the lyrics on the back. Well to make a long story short He LOVED IT & became a big fan 🤗 (and so did most of my classmates) 👍GOD Bless BLACK SABBATH 😜
Damn you're old, I wasn't even born yet and Elvis was still alive.
@@blockaderunner Is that relevant, in any way whatsoever?
When I was 12 and in 6th Grade, I remember Tom Petty - Refugee was playing, like some year end party thing, but then the teacher turned it off because one of the girls said her parents didn't allow her to listen to music like that. She was a very recent Vietnamese immigrant, so maybe it was the lyrics more than the genre that upset her.
Similar situation, though our music teacher did have "Pictures At An Exhibition" by ELP as a sort of compromise to his pupils rock music interest whilst containing classical elements that he liked. I got him to play "Caress Of Steel" by Rush, which he received with muted interest, whilst it was hated by all of the girls. They wanted him to play the "Grease" album. A anarchic element in the class managed to hoodwink him into playing "Frigging In The Rigging" by the Sex Pistols.
The student becomes the teacher.
Through the drugs and alcohol theses guys consumed they still rock it and set a generation down a path of heavy metal. Thanks Ozzy
I havent heard this album in years and now I know why I loved Black Sabbath ...they just rocked!! They are no doubt the Godfathers and inventors of Heavy Metal!!
There was one band who came out first. Black Sabbath used the same type of sound. The Band? Figid Pink. The song? House of the rising sun, 1968. Find, and enjoy!
Straight up CALLING for both
Ozzy n Toni..❤
Possibly the rest of us..
These guys were badass mofos
In the 70sn 80s!
"Solitude" sounds like an awesome gothic medieval fairytale set in some dark endless forest.
isnt that a warhorse track.
I agree....
Helped me go through some shit.
Something to listen to when you're depressed and drunk out of your mind...
Wow you just sent my mind on a trip through the black forest haha
I just turned 60. Just like before, I listen again (full blast) to Sabbath everyday. Freed me from anxiety and sure beats the hell out of lockdowns and quarantine.
I'm only 20 but I 'm doing the same, I prefer the album sabbath bloody sabbath but master of reality is great too.
@@asphodel7935 cool to know sabbath bridging generation gaps. Rock on young blood!
@@TheGoodMemoryFactory same.45 y old and i listen to them 1 hour per day.All my anxiety is gone
Full blast ? I've done that. Someone called the cops on me.
I don't use regular stereo speakers but PA JBL's . Because I blow regular stereo speakers.
c'mon, anxiety at 60, what kind of boomer are you, i thought we're stoic. inb4 i get hate for a joke.
I was taught at 5 yrs old how to operate my uncle's record player. I listened to all my aunts and uncles albums but my dad's albums were the best. Rolling Stones, Eagles, Deep Purple, Hendrix, etc.. I came across one album and the cover was kinda spooky. It had a picture of an old building with some kind of a lady that I thought was a witch standing in front of it. 😮 I put it on and that was the first time I heard Black Sabbath! I was blown away and fell immediately in love with heavy metal,😊 been listening to it ever since!
Lyrics:
Sweet Leaf:
Alright now
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
Oh, yeah!
I love you
Oh, you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you, sweet leaf
Though you can't hear
Oh, yeah!
Come on now
Try it out
Straight people don't know
What you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world
Will love you, sweet leaf
Oh, yeah, baby!
Come on now! Oh, yeah!
Try me out, baby! Alright!
Oh, yeah-ah
I want you part of this sweet leaf
Oh, yeah! Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, try me out
I love you, sweet leaf, oh
After Forever:
Have you ever thought about your soul
Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think
That when you are dead
You just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head
Or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name
That you read in the book
When you were in school?
When you think about death
Do you lose your breath
Or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope
On the end of a rope?
Do you think he's a fool?
Well, I have seen the truth
Yes, I've seen the light
And I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared
When you're lonely and scared
At the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid
Of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realise before they criticise
That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small
That you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run?
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well
Worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you
That crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had
Was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure
When your day is near
Say you don't believe?
You had the chance
But you turned it down
Now you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say
That God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realise
That He is the one
The only one who can save you now
From all this sin and hate
Or will you jeer at all you hear?
Yes, I think it's too late
Embryo:
[Instrumental]
Children of the Grave:
Revolution in their minds
The children start to march
Against the world
In which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through
Yeah!
Children of tomorrow live
In the tears that fall today
Will the sunrise of tomorrow
Bring in peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow
Of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace
Or will they disappear? Yeah!
So you children of the world
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave
Or you children of today
Are children of the grave, yeah!
Children of the grave
Children of the grave
Children of the grave
Orchid:
[Instrumental]
Lord of this World:
You're searching for your mind, don't know where to start
Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know, but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill, but you will not find a cure, yeah!
Your world was made for you by someone above
But you choose evil ways instead of love
You made me master of the world where you exist
The soul I took from you was not even missed, yeah!
Lord of this world
Evil possessor
Lord of this world
He's your confessor now
You think you're innocent, you've nothing to fear
You don't know me you say, but isn't it clear?
You turn to me in all your wordly greed and pride
But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah!
Solitude:
My name it means nothing, my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed, now, they are gone
They are gone, they are gone...
Oh, where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away
You went away, you went away...
The world is a lonely place, you're on your own
Guess I will go home, sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
Of you, of you...
Into the Void:
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the night sky they blast
Through the universe the engines whine
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low
Everywhere is misery and woe
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea
Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the black sky so vast
Burning metal through the atmosphere
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide
Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits, yeah
Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in their grave
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every day
Mindlessly listening for decades with no understanding. Brutal!
It wont be the end as long as we keep on listening this awesome music
Disasterpiece 55 for sure.
I became a fan after they were done anyway xD
It's looking like the end of Western Civilization if something don't change.
Black Sabbath never gets old . ive been listening since I was 12 in 1982. Sabbath is still my favorite and I produced 2 offspring that love it as much as me so I’m a proud mother of 2 sabbath heads ❤
This album's so heavy, I never really noticed it was barely 35 minutes long. Damn man.
Bill Kakoulidis It's short, but it's all worth the 35 minutes.
Short and sweet. No bullshit
Quality over quantity. 👍✌
35 mins of greatness
No kidding - I was shocked to see the total time as well...
