>stylistically becomes a completely different band>creates their best album in the processAny other times this has happened?
>>127844369you start, op. i'll wait.
It's not their best, but it's a very good album nonetheless. I like Mob Rules a lot too
>>127844369Dio era was always overrated as fuck
some fag will say Rumors
>>127844369Truth
>>127844630it's true (for self titled)
>>127844369H&H does not outrank the first 6 albums. It does outrank the 7th and 8th.
>>127844369Dio Sabbath sucked. First 6 albums or gtfo
>>127844648kinda mid desu
>>127844369
>>127844655>>127844697Heaven and Hell is better than Vol 4, Sabotage and especially Technical Ecstasy and NSD
>>127844890Vol 4 has a bad song (Changes), but the rest of the album is great. Sabotage is underrated.TE and NSD don't count; that's why I said first 6 albums. HaH and MR sound like any other heavy metal band from the era. I won't say the lack of Ozzy killed Sabbath, but something changed songwritingwise after he left and the band was never the same.
>>127844369What a retarded opinion
>>127844697So retarded. You must not like metal
>>127844995Tryhard, I've listened to literally thousands of metal records.
>>127844890It is not better than Sabotage. Vol. 4 is like a wuss's favorite Sabbath album but it's still better than H&H. TE & NSD fucking suck.
>>127844537This but Red
>>127845540Eh its not that crazy of a jump from purple. Also Core is better
>>127844369retard take
>>127844630stop acting like the band going through one mid guitarist after another every other year were their halcyon years
>>127845106>a wuss's favorite Sabbaththat's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath if anything
>>127844369Dehumanizer > H/H > Mob Rulesnot even up for debate.
>>127844369first 6 Sabbath albums have grit. H&H sounds too clean
>>127847168this. Dehumanizer crushes the other two and Mob Rules sounds like a rush job follow up
>>127847182Completely agree.
>>127844369Not into rock at all but for some reason I love black sabbath, always have since a teen. I have their first 4 albums on vinyl.
PanterA 1990, imo CFH is their best. fucking love all their mainline albums tho.
>>127844369No shit you liked Sabbath with little Dio? I never met anyone who liked them.
not their best but close
>>127844941>FX is coming up next - quick pass the bong!said noone ever
>>127847421Eh I prefer Vulgar Display of Power, but this is the sound that got them there
>>127847492VDoP fucking slams, love it. mouth for war was the first song i ever heard by them and ive been a fan since
>>127847421The reality is that The Great Southern Trendkill is their best album, but all of their mainline albums are pretty much equally good (including RtS).Hotter take: all of their mainline albums are 3.5/5s. Too much filler to crack that 4/5 spot. Every Pantera mainline album is 10 minutes longer than it needs to be.
>>127847584TGST is fucking great, it's what really got me into extreme metal.
/mu/ isn't ready for this
>>127844369Fleetwood mac rumours
>>127847356Nobody cares faggot you aren't special
>>127847356kinda based desu
>>127844537>>127845601Is it true that Fripp during that era was super desperate to have the band not die and keep existing in some form?
>>127847584>>127847867Phil Anselmo in general made me get into Black Metal and shit like AxCx funnily enough.
rainbow dio > sabbath dioalso blackmore > iommi while we're at it
>>127845540Yes, Tiny Music is objectively the band's best effort, as well as a great fine example of a band honing its sound to preciseness after two exceptional offerings, both of which are classic. With that said, Tiny Music is in a whole different league
I consider Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Heaven and Hell all in the same league more or less. then it comes the rest
>>127844675>>127845479gr8 b8 m8
>>127848021based
how the fuck i forgot this
>>127844369Sorry, but Vol. 4 is the best Black Sabbath album.
>>127845731this
>>127847421Maybe vulgar display of power. They still had power metal rob halford vocals on this one reminiscent of their time as a glam band but there was a noticeable switch here
>>127850396>>127851170These
>>127847492>>127847515based Vulgar DisplayChads. Mouth For War borderlines on being a hardcore song.
>>127845023>projectionthen whats not to like about H&H. Its got some of Iommi's best playing ever but somehow it 'sucked' to you - talk about try hard lol
>>127847421>CFH is their bestIncorrect. That would be Trendkill.
>>127844648This but St Anger
>>127844369Isn't this literally any beloved band that has a big roster change but remains beloved.
>>127853174St. Anger might be their best work. not even meme'ing
>>127844530You're correct. Pic related is their best. Heaven and Hell is #2 though.
>>127847168>>127847200>>127847584>>127852280I despite people like you who don't have an ear for melodies and rate music based on "heaviness".
>>127859125a headless cross is just an upper-case "T", you fucking retard.
>>127859148i think Dehumanizer has better song writing not just the fact it happens to be heavier.
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka (or really any of his Drag City stuff)Teenage Fanclub - BandwagonesqueI'd argue Everything Everything with Raw Data Feel>>127848054The S/T they put out in like 75 was their first step into that pop sound
>>127853174>>127858562I remember listening to St Anger as a young teen and thinking it was pretty good, then got on the internet to everyone completely trashing it. I never really understood why, it sounded fine.
