1001 Albums Summary

Love the title track. It’s always reminded me of the summers of my youth and of my father, who was a jazz enthusiast. I was pleasantly surprised that following the famous title track were 11 tracks of equal quality and influence. Look no further than the track Twist and Shout, which The Beatles famously covered.

This was my introduction to Black Sabbath in a more thorough sense. I had never heard anything other than the famous track Iron Man. The first chords of the opening song drew me in from the start and I realized there was a much more varied sound to Black Sabbath I had yet to discover. If anything, this album has edified for me why Ozzy Osborne is both celebrated and controversial. Truly an artist who paved his own path and lived life to the fullest. Black Sabbath is an album that hopefully sets the stage for much more transcendent music Black Sabbath library.
