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.

Journey to "13": Numbers 8-10

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 4-7

From Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973)

8. "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"

If every band has a Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in their discography then Sabbath Bloody Sabbath would be Black Sabbath's.

The title track opens the album and it rolls at the listener with a dense, pummeling riff. The chorus brings some light, jazzy playing and the post-solo section doesn't sound like it would be out of place on a 1990's Grunge record.

In addition to all of the wonderful musical things going on the song also features one of Ozzy's best vocal deliveries ever. He seems to be dangerously close to the end of his range but never loses it. It's a great performance that any singer would be proud of.

 9. "Spiral Architect"

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the most progressive sounding of the original 8 Sabbath albums and
"Spiral Architect" is the perfect way to close it.

Starting with an acoustic intro the song launches into a bombastic progression. Ozzy works at the top of his range again and delivers a real emotive vocal. By the time the strings show up the song has taken the listener on quite an exciting sonic journey.

From Sabotage (1975)

10. "Hole in the Sky"

"Hole in the Sky" finds the band in "groove" mode as they deliver a nice swinging riff. Iommi delivers some dizzying fills, while Ward and Butler hold down the bottom.
