MASTER OF REALITY

Possibly one of the weakest Ozzy Sabbath albums (along with 'Never say die'). Side one of original vinyl was great (although short at less than 17mins) and only 6 real tracks on the album,non of them over long. Would people almost call this an EP or mini-album if relesed nowadays?!

The real problem is side 2 (last 4 tracks). It sounds like a retarded version of side one, and almost like reworked throw-outs from first 2 albums. No real vitality or anything new to offer.

So, as a metal/rock album it gets 3 at best. On a prog level only 2 (more than 1 due to some ramblings in the 2nd half of the album I guess).
