It illustrates perfectly what I wrote before, when Ozzy is singing over an energetic composition he can sound really awesome. The drums also has some basic beats, but later in the song where it gets more intense, the drumming gets more complicated, and leads the other instruments to a more fast-paced, anxious moment on the track. i noticed surface noises on first tracks on each side, sweet leaf and orchid were a bit annoying because of that.

Latter prints still had incorrect timings on the booklet, but the CD itself was properly spaced out. Whoever decided that Master of Reality should begin with the sound of Tony Iommi coughing after taking a big hit with a joint is a genius. Beginning with the song "Sweet Leaf", it starts with Tony Iommi coughing before we are immediately thrown into some heavy riffs.Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Agora Hills “Slut! The song with the most evolution, the most passion and original idea was when they stepped into slight Barry Manilow territory. If you are a fan of metal music that routinely moves like it is stuck in molasses, or smoked some of the finest Colombian Red Sweet Leaf around, then this is right for you.

I’m not saying that either that or the arrangement it’s set in is the new “My Generation,” but it is a rocking, churning addition to the long line of defiant, self-affirmative and certainly a little defensive songs that goes right back to the earliest whap and wail of rock ‘n’ roll. He often uses his wah pedal as a sort of tone filter, rather than in the cliche wah-wah-wah fashion, leaving it half-cocked for a cutting, nasal sound that focuses in on the mid-range frequencies.Unless you intend to spend the rest of your guitar playing years in a Black Sabbath tribute band (lame), this should be the ultimate goal of this exercise.
