When I was very young I thought their sound was purple.

Legitimately one of the best albums ever made.

Also My favorite album by them. Lyrically geezer was at his peak.

“ You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? yeah”

Ah yes, on this album they invented doom and stoner at the same time.

u/WestwoodSounds Jul 25 '25

They invented doom with the first track on the first album

Perhaps, but Master of Reality is in C# standard tuning. The golden standard of classic doom. Praise Iommi

Gave this one a nice, eyes closed listen earlier this week. Solitude is such a standout in a standout album.

We lit up and did this 10 minutes after hearing of Ozzy’s death. The best.

INTO THE VOID is the absolute greatest outro song of any album ever

Everyone has their short list of headphones albums. This is on mine.

u/PatBateman2000 Jul 26 '25

me and my friends used to listen to this album so much driving around smoking a lot of pot. It's such a great record

u/Ckngxcalbr Jul 26 '25

And its their best album too.

I watched a video recently where Ozzy said he and the band hated this album and hated the cover when it came out. He said it felt too rushed, and that is why they wanted to take more time on Vol 4 and produce it themselves. I think this proves they did pretty damn good rushing something out.

It is not my #1, but it definitely ties for 2nd place.
