TECHNICAL ECSTASY

While this album from 1976 named Technical ecstasy is far from being realy bad, at least from my side, Sabbath turn the page and adopted almost a compercial sound, it never was the case with previous one Sabotage, among the best Sabbath albums ever. Here the doomy atmosphere of previouses albums is almost gone leaving please to a more direct aproach of hard/heavy music, even the keys and some piano elements are more in front, maybe the most progressive work of them, but not the best i might say. The ideas on this album are not bad, Ozzy's voice is again good, but not excellent, the rest of musicians plays corectly but without any enthusiasm. Anyway some great piece are: Back Street Kids, You Won't Change Me, It's Alright,All Moving Parts (Stand Still), but the decline was nearly at the door, not because the music was realy awful, but due to members disagreement in what way should they go on next album. That hole or maybe better said that diffrents of opinions between them shows on their next album a realy disappointing effort in their career. So Technical ecstacy is a good album to me, not their best, not their worst, still pleasent to listen from time to time, 3 stars for sure.
