Jorney to "13": Numbers 11-13

In anticipation of Black Sabbath's new release "13" I will spotlight 13 key tracks from the 8 studio albums that the band recorded and released with Ozzy Osbourne between 1970 and 1978.

Numbers 8-10

From Sabotage

11. "Symptom of the Universe"

Featuring an in your face riff, a great Ozzy vocal, and a spacey, acoustic break, "Symptom of the Universe" is another wonderful showcase of how much range the band possessed.

From Technical Ecstacy (1976)

12. "All Moving Parts Stand Still"

Past their creative peek with Ozzy, Black Sabbath still produced some good music. "All Moving Parts Stand Still" might sound a little dated but the song has a great feel.






From Never Say Die! (1978)

13. "Never Say Die"

Ozzy's swan song. "Never Say Die" finds the band in straight rock territory. The song has a nice, uptempo pace with uplifting lyrics that match the music perfectly. Ozzy has talked Never Say Die! down, but the title cut is nothing to be ashamed of.
