BLACK SABBATH - MASTER OF REALITY
ALRIGHT NOW
Master of Reality is Black Sabbath's third album and it was released in 1971 about a year after their debut so Sabbath certainly kept busy. But not only that they've also kept delivering absolute classics and they were so much ahead of everybody else in 1971.
I also think that Master of Reality is a step forward from the bands rather bluesy beginnings and this one is leaning more towards a doomier sound. Some fans calls Master of Reality as the starting point of Doom Metal and there are some truths to that. Just listen to the heaviness and the intricate riffs of 'Into the Void'. It's so heavy for being a song from 1971, it's really insane.

But we also have a track like Children of the Grave that were so influential on heavy metal and even thrash for it's driving tempo.
Sweat Leaf was also a huge song the band and the jamming style of Lord of this World is rather underrated.
Overall this is an iconic album and once again Black Sabbath delivers an album worthy of the five axes rating. This should be in every mans collection.
