Description

lack Sabbath was unravelling at an alarming rate around the time of their second to last album with original singer Ozzy Osbourne, 1976s Technical Ecstasy. The band was getting further and further from their original musical path, as they began experimenting with their trademark sludge-metal sound. The most popular song remains the album closer, Dirty Women, which was revived during the bands highly successful reunion tour of the late 90s. Other standouts include the funky All Moving Parts (Stand Still) and the raging opener, Back Street Kids. The melodic Its Alright turns out to be the albums biggest surprise its one of drummer Bill Wards few lead vocal spots with the band (Guns N Roses covered the unlikely track on their 1999 live set, Live Era 1987-1993). ~ Greg Prato
