Because, to be perfectly honest, I don't really hear anything original about this album. It's the culmination of what Jethro Tull and Deep Purple were doing a couple years earlier. Only, you know, with about half the talent and catchy melodies. And what riffs DO lodge themselves in my brain sound kind of...familiar...
 
You know, like my favorite song off the album, that thing with "N.I.B." Where do I know that riff from?
 
Go take a listen to Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" (and Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda da Vida," for sh*ts and giggles), and tell me you don't hear it.

Go listen to the 99% of the rock scene at that time and tell me that you don't listen to the same A minor pentatonic blues scale in EVERY SINGLE riff and solo....

Hardly. Anyway, it's based on blues so it's all going to sound the same anyway...

favorite song? after forever.

honorable mention: hand of doom, which seems pretty indicitive of the whole doom genre.

also: NIB, warpigs, iron man, paranoid.

the dio "mod rules" period was kinda cool. but, i am more of a fan of the first 3-4 albums, early ozzy sab. i am not much of a fan of solo ozz anymore, though i like randy rhodes. i like studying his gear, and i would love to have that white tolex marshall he had! also, he was a fan of the glory days of mxr (pre-dunlop!). and mxr has made the best sounding pedals i have ever heard. i STILL have yet to hear chorus that sounds as good as the microchorus!).

(sorry, i geeked. didnt mean to spaz out on gear again!).

There are only five notes in the pentatonic scale so there's a good chance music based on this scale will sound similar to other pentatonic-based music. Have you heard how close Purple's Black Night sounds to (We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet by The Blues Magoos?

I'd say Crazy World of Arthur Brown had the 'Hell' thing down pat way before Sabbath, and better as well.  But I recently picked up the Black Box set (first 8 albums) and am in the process of re-evaluating my previously held opinion of the band.

Black Sabbath, the band never was more frightening.

Plus its fun to say Black Sabbath by Black Sabbth of off Black Sabbth.
