The Miami record.

By johnnynycborntowin
This record was definitely influenced by all the mainstream radio rock n roll that was going on in the 1970s. Eagles , Boston , Bruce Springsteen. Eddie money , kiss. Etc. you can hear Black Sabbath experimenting with a more accessible hard rock sound. This is not Black Sabbath and this record would be the beginning of the end of the original lineup. Ozzy would soon hook up with randy Rhoads and embark on his successful solo career. There’s some decent stuff in here but the whole record sounds uninspired and tired. Too much Miami sun and booze and coke. The original Black Sabbath weakest record.
Underrated

Some great songs obviously it’s not a self titled nor a paranoid or the amazing master of reality but this album beats out later sabbath albums except for 13
Don’t pass this by

Sabbath reigns with this record!! My Brother and I would rock out to this album as kids!!! I was 8 when it came out and I’m 52 now I still love it!!! So take your Iron Man and War Pigs and listen to them “WAY OVER THERE””
The worst album in the Sabbath catalog

The songs on this album is missing the Sabbath sounds and touch. The songs is just bad and not sounding like other albums. They seem to be lost and no real heart or soul in the song writing. They were having problems in band and their personal lives. You hear it in songs writing, playing and all around sounds of album.
Stunning

The reason this album wasn’t exactly well received is because it’s so unlike the horror/end of the world nature that sabbath portrays in most of their other albums. It is my personal favorite and there isn’t a single song on the album I don’t like
Hmmm...

The worst Black Sabbath album up to that point, though I like it better than any of the Tony Martin albums and Dehumanizer. Far too much keyboards and other junk covering up Ozzy’s vocals. This was actually my introduction to Black Sabbath back in 1977. There are still some great songs here, like the depressing You Won’t Change Me, Gypsy, All Moving Parts Stand Still and Rock and Roll Doctor. I also quite like It’s Alright, which features Bill Ward on vocals and I think he sounds like Barry Manilow. There are times on this album where Black Sabbath sound like a Spanish group! I have never liked Back Street Kids and Dirty Woman.....or She’s Gone, probably the sappiest ballad they ever did.
Overall, not one of Black Sabbath’s better albums and not a good introduction to them, but it does have some great songs.
Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be

I thought there were a few great songs like "Backstreet Kids", "You Won't Change Me" and "Dirty Women" but the rest of the album ranged from poor to fair, Sabbath was definitely falling apart by the time they made this album

I read the reviews on Wikipedia and I know this isn't 1 of the most famous albums but I listened to this and it was just as good as the early 1s.

Must Have for Sabbath Enthusiast

This is the record right before an album with filler. Great dynamic work by the band. Tony Iommi RIPS on this album. With great rhythm section by Geezer and Bill. And not to mention, Ozzy Osbourne doing what he did best, coming up with INCREDIBLE melodies over the top. You Won't Change Me is a must.
Great Album

Don't miss out on this one, some of Tony I. Best riffs check out Gypsy, Dirty Woman and You won't change me.
i was there

saw Sabbath on this tour with Boston as opening act... in Cleveland ... Rock and Roll Capital of the world and my first concert as a teenager... Gypsy is worth the price of the album
the power of the riff compels me

By RiffRawker
Agree with most, not quite as good as the first 5, but still great, a A minus effort from Sabbath is still better than the very best of the rest... RAWK ON
BLACK SABBATH - TECH.

May not be their best album, but its still better than most of anything else out there (including Ozzy's recent solo albums). Buy it!
