“Master Of Reality” by Black Sabbath - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1971 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |
The 3rd Sabbath is mostly comprised of slower and heavier songs, interspersed with quieter acoustic songs written by Tony Iommi. The record lacks the killer-riffing that was an attraction on the preceding albums, whilst I note that some of the guitar solos are getting a bit more “frenzied and metallic”. Not bad, but a clear step back for my taste-o-meter…
