At their ██ ██ peak, which is how they are remembered, Sabbath were all ██ ██ about myth and power. Their very name had an ominous ██ ██ resonance, capturing their murky, foreboding sound ██ ██ perfectly. Taken at face value, the lyrics of lead singer ██ ██ Ozzy Osbourne were ridiculous, but delivered in his ██ ██ banshee wail and supported by the oozing, primeval sludge ██ ██ of the band, they could sound positively frightening, the ██ ██ last testament of man slowly being pulled into the dark ██ ██ corners of hell (there's something about their music that ██ ██ lends itself to florid writing, as well). That sound was ██ ██ intact on their 1970 debut, and it seemingly came out of ██ ██ nowhere. Sure, some psychedelic and acid rock bands were ██ ██ heavy, but nobody approached the gloom of Black Sabbath, ██ ██ nobody had the same sense of dread. Decades later, after ██ ██ years of airplay, after years of imitators, after their ██ ██ innovations have been assimilated, their music still ██ ██ sounds out of time, still sounds crushingly heavy and ██ ██ dark.Of course, that sentiment doesn't apply to all of ██ ██ the music Black Sabbath made -- Osbourne left the band in ██ ██ 1978 and the band was never quite the same, but truth be ██ ██ told, Sabbath lost their mythic power long before Ozzy ██ ██ went solo. Starting with 1973's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, ██ ██ the group began to stretch out a bit on their albums, ██ ██ giving guitarist Tony Iommi acoustic spotlights, weaving ██ ██ synthesizers into their tapestry of doom, gradually ██ ██ opening up the sound of their records so much that they ██ ██ no longer had their mystique. They still could sound like ██ ██ Sabbath, but they didn't much feel like Sabbath anymore, ██ ██ particularly on their last two LPs with Ozzy, 1976's ██ ██ Technical Ecstasy and 1978's Never Say Die! This is the ██ ██ part of Sabbath history fans conveniently forget when ██ ██ they celebrate the original lineup, but it's rightly on ██ ██ display on Rhino's lavish eight-CD box set Black Box: The ██ ██ Complete Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978. Since the ██ ██ original lineup does still retain a mythic aura, some ██ ██ listeners unfamiliar with the trajectory of the group's ██ ██ career might assume that the latter four albums are all ██ ██ as heavy as Paranoid, and the fact that they're not may ██ ██ be a surprise and it might not be an altogether ██ ██ unpleasant one, too. While conventional wisdom among fans ██ ██ and the band is that the last two records are travesties, ██ ██ they're not nearly as bad as their reputation would ██ ██ suggest. They're certainly not what anybody looking for ██ ██ prime Sabbath would want to hear, but the varied ██ ██ production makes for interesting, albeit dated, listens, ██ ██ while both Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and 1974's Sabotage ██ ██ strike an effective blend of heavy sludge and layered ██ ██ production. Yet no matter how good those two albums are ██ ██ -- and despite fan affection for them, they're underrated ██ ██ simply because they exist in the shadow of Paranoid and ██ ██ Master of Reality -- it's the first four that define ██ ██ Sabbath, and they all have aged very well. Yes, certain ██ ██ recording techniques and studio conventions now sound a ██ ██ little dated, but they retain their primal power.Since ██ ██ the music is familiar, the real question with Black Box ██ ██ is whether the package itself is worth buying. The answer ██ ██ is a qualified yes. At first, it seems like there's not ██ ██ much need for the box, since these recordings have been ██ ██ reissued and packaged so many times it seems that the ██ ██ group has a provision in its contract demanding three new ██ ██ reissues in the U.K. every year. Plus, Rhino had released ██ ██ the excellent double-disc Symptom of the Universe in ██ ██ 2002, so not only were remasters easily available, but ██ ██ there was also a good compilation in the U.S. While all ██ ██ this is true, there's something to be said for getting ██ ██ all the material in one place, and there's little doubt ██ ██ that the package itself is worthwhile for fans willing to ██ ██ spend one hundred dollars for music they know by heart. ██ ██ The remastering is good, the digipacks are nicely done, ██ ██ the black velvet cover has good liner notes and ██ ██ testimonials from musicians, and the art direction ██ ██ cleverly is only in black and white, with not a color ██ ██ shot to be found in the whole 78-page book. Best of all, ██ ██ there's also a bonus DVD containing footage from the ██ ██ widely circulated "Live at the Beat Club" performance; ██ ██ it's only four tracks, but it's a great example of ██ ██ Sabbath at their prime, and it enriches this box. ██ ██ Ultimately, most listeners are going to be content with ██ ██ any of the classic four, but Black Box isn't meant for ██ ██ most listeners -- it's meant for the devoted, and this ██ ██ box lives up to their high expectations. ██ ██ ██ ██ Ripper's Notes : ██ ██ Here are the original albums release dates : ██ ██ Black Sabbath : 02/13/1970 ██ ██ Paranoid : 09/18/1970 ██ ██ Master Of Reality : 07/21/1971 ██ ██ Black Sabbath, Vol. 4 : 09/25/1972 ██ ██ Sabbath Bloody Sabbath : 11/xx/1973 ██ ██ Sabotage : 07/28/1975 ██ ██ Technical Ecstasy : 09/25/1976 ██ ██ Never Say Die! : 09/28/1978 ██ █▓ ▓█ ▓▒ URL........: http://www.blacksabbath.com/ ▓█ ░░ ▒█ ░ ┌─┬─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ┌─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ▒█ █▄ │┌│││││││││ │││││││└┤ ░█ ▄██████████████████████████████████████████████■ │├┤ ┤││││┌┘ │││┌┤ ├┐│ ░█ ██▀ █▀ └─┴┴┴─┴─┴┘ └┴┴─┴┴┴─┘ ░█ ██ ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▓ No news atm. ▒█ █▒ ▒█ █▒ ░█ █░ GREETZ......: To all the 'just for fun' ripping groups ░█ █░ out there. ▓█ █░ ▓█ █▒ ██ █▓ ██ ██▄ :[ ASCii by The L3b0wsk1z ]: ▄██ ████▄▄ ▄▄████ ▀███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▀ ████████████████████▄ ███████████████████▄▄ █████████████████████████ ███████████████████████▄ ███████████████████████▄ █████████████████████████ █████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███████ █████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███████ ██████ ███████ █████ ▀█████ █████ ▀█████ ████████ █████ ▄█████ █████ ▄█████ █████████ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
