High octane hard rock, a precursor to thrash and speed metal. The shinier, adrenaline-fueled twin of Sabbaths depraved sinister metal sound. The solos are masterfully done on all instruments, with bass, guitar and organ solos on Pictures of Home, and plenty all over the album. Used to listen to this all the time, and it's just as good as I remember, Highway Star will always be one of my favorite songs. Best Tracks: Highway Star, Pictures of Home, Space Truckin
