Despite the impressive resume, the band was in a fragile position, with this seventh album potentially making or breaking their future. Talk about pressure, eh? Even the most devout BLACK SABBATH fans often disregard ?Technical Ecstasy,? and many flat out despise it. It?s not hard to see why ? this album is drastically different from classics such as ?Paranoid? and ?Master Of Reality.? The dark, spooky cover art of the band?s past has been replaced with a strange and abstract modern piece, which most definitely caught some fans off-guard. The music found on this album is quite different, as well, focusing less on Iommi?s massive riffs and more on Hard Rock aesthetics and experimental dynamics. The opener ?Back Street Kids? is a fast-paced, rip-roaring track which is soured by Ozzy?s frail vocal delivery, which actually mars a good bit of the album due to its bad production and general lack of intensity. I found this to be a real disappointment after his great performance on ?Sabotage.? The experimental side really kicks in with ?It?s Alright,? a soft and poppy piano and acoustic guitar ballad sung by drummer Bill Ward. Until this point, ?It?s Alright? was definitely the most un-SABBATH-like track BLACK SABBATH had recorded, and it feels strangely out of place on the record. ?Rock ?N? Roll Doctor? is pure party rock spoiled by poor lyrics, and ?Gypsy? comes off as uninspired ?Rock ?N? Roll? filler. Despite the rough waters, there are some real gems on here. Sounding the most like classic BLACK SABBATH out of all of the record, ?You Won?t Change Me? is a crawling, riff-driven number with excellent use of keyboards. ?She?s Gone? is a soft ballad, closer to ?Solitude? from ?Master Of Reality? than it is to ?It?s All Right,? led by Ozzy on vocals and featuring strings and softly plucked acoustic guitars. It never reaches the level of melancholy found on ?Solitude,? but it stands on it?s own as a really good track. ?Dirty Women,? a song about prostitution featuring a nice chunky main riff, reminds a lot of the material found on ?Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,? and is one of the few songs from this period that still finds its way into the band?s live set. Even these tracks, however, are still damaged by the album?s weak production and Ozzy?s sub-par vocals. Three good songs out of eight poorly produced tracks do not make a good album, especially by BLACK SABBATH standards. The album isn?t terrible, in fact, it?s quite listenable despite being somewhat unimpressive, but it?s definitely a massive weak spot in the Ozzy-era SABBATH catalogue

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's pretty much every Sabbath album I ever owned, had to sell at some time or another, and loved - all remastered. Great.

This rip is a image of the album.

Drop the .cue file into the foobar window and then you can choose which song to listen.
To burn your personal CD, use "Burrrn" and drop the cue file again, really simple.
