During the recording of this album the band kept getting pushback from the studio engineers who told them this isn't how a recording should sound with the heavy distortion. They recorded this album in 12 hours over 2 days... bands now spend months and don't get results like this. Legends 100%! Great Reaction!

This album was the birth of heavy metal. Not an exaggeration - before this, there were songs here and there that were heavy, ominous, etc. - but this was the first example of a whole album that was just HEAVY. It birthed a genre.

Trying to catch you guys early before you get to their second album, which I really hope you'll check out. The album (called Paranoid, released 7 months after this one), opens with War Pigs, which is a song you guys have already reacted to. Rather than skip it or hear the same version again, there is a legendary live performance that was recorded while the song was still being finalized. Musically the song is there note for note, but the lyrics are still being worked out. The energy of the band, Ozzy's enthusiastic performance, and the quality of the recording, all make the video a classic. But what really sets the whole thing off and makes it a must see is watching Bill Ward beat the hell out of his drums with an authority and confidence few are capable of. It's a great video and one of my favourite live performances of all time. War Pigs - Live in Paris - 1970. I think you'll dig it. Bill Ward is a beast.

Two things I notice about this album: its raw sound and funkiness. It definitely sounds like a band jamming in a garage and the sound quality is a secondary concern. That’s not a put down, it’s a compliment. One last observation is the bass. It’s louder than most rock/metal albums, but with Geezer Butler playing, it’s important to have him turned up.
