I love music. I try to review the albums as honest I can. There might be some humor but there is a place for that. These reviews are my opinions, not any mass of critics who have changed their opinion when the fans demanded it.

Reijo Piippula's Album Reviews
There are only a few albums that don't need stars. This, Black Sabbath's first album which is also the first heavy metal album in the history of music, is defintely one of them. Just listen to the first song "Black Sabbath" - the "church bells" get right to the business, after the first riff starts there are no turning back. Ozzy Osbourne's voice is just so gloomy, perfect. There are plenty of classic songs in this album - a perfect doom metal album. Even the long "The Warning" sounds awesome.
Without this album - there probably would be no Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. Of course there was heavy rock before Sabbath - Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, just to mention few but there had never been metal. Musically, I think this is the heaviest album ever released.
