Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Weird how there was no Sabbath yet. I didn't think this one would go first, so I was going to take it as soon as any Sabbath went. Fuck it though, I want it now. I liked the s/t for a while, but in the end, this is my favorite. By far. Better as an album. "Into the Void"? C'mon. Much as I like Sabbath's singles, I'm frankly a little sick of some of them. "Sweet Leaf" and "Children of the Grave", besides being awesome, also benefit from not being so overplayed. This album I'd call the definitive statement of Sabbath, and Sabbath are the definitive statement of Devil Music. Horns high.
