Saw a cute ginger wearing a shirt of this album on the first day of high school. So, then I wore one of my black sabbath shirts in the following days and caught his attention in this way. Seven years of dating after and now we're getting married next month. Thank this album for leading me to my soulmate and for being one of my personal favorite albums of all time.

This is how I love listening to Black Sabbath “ the whole album ! Without being interrupted by a Damn commercial !!! ❤

I miss skipping school just to smoke and listen to Black Sabbath.

I was 12 yo 1971 when i got this album on LP. And still have it..And i´m now 62 yo. And still Black Sabbath fan

I’m 62 2022 can u imagine how I felt when I bought this album at the record store when it first came out and brought it home that night and played it on my record player omg

I have loved Black Sabbath since I found an this album on the ground by my neighbors trash can when young. Later I joined the Army and became a tanker. When in Germany I named my tank Warpigs. Thanks Ozzy and crew for helping me find reality in life!

Geezers Bass and Lyrics. Something to Behold. 40 Years Ago.

48 Years later........still sounds fresh. Sabbath are immortal.

Black Sabbath had the best rhythm section and vocals of any hard rock/metal group in rock history to this day!

What would we have done without black sabbath? The greatest heavy band ever. Incomparable. No question.

I am 65 and this takes me back .......I can still remember all the words and music to all the songs...Rock on all of us stoners.....so great to hear them all again....have the album in the attic.......love this band.........

One of the greatest Metal albums of all time. Masterpiece!!! 00:05 Sweet Leaf 05:37 After Forever 11:08 Children Of The Grave 17:46 Lord of this World 28:45 Into the Void

I'm in 58 and still I turn crazy with this album oh my God !!!

Black Sabbath is the best group of all time.

The bass on this whole album is perfect. This is how you mix your songs on album.

Got to love the fact that this doesn't have ads and is on the official channel

Iconic album, no doubt. Sabbath was in the zone: the writing, Ozzie's voice, the band in synch, and all for us, their fans. I first listened to it when my elder brother Bob, now gone, played it incessantly in our home. I got hooked. I'm 60, still hooked. Thanks, Bob. And thank you Black Sabbath.

Memorized it in 71, i was 14, still feels really good ! Rock On youngins !

This album changed everything! Consider yourself fortunate to if you were listening to this in ‘71 and still around to love and enjoy it today. Us old guys rock 🤘🤘🤘

I get chills down my back when I hear the lyrics and riffs on Children of the Grave.. anyone else? Love from Birmingham, UK

Growing up in the 60s and 70s and still listening to these GREAT tunes at volumes to share with my neighbors

Ozzy is one of my favourite vocalists. Such a real and emotional voice.

Bill Ward is phenomenal

00:00 Sweet Leaf 05:04 After Forever 10:27 Embryo (Instrumental) 10:55 Children of the Grave 16:10 Orchid (Instrumental) 17:40 Lord of This World 23:04 Solitude 28:06 Into the Void

My little brother still talks about me introducing him to life with this album. Glad to say, he's still around and so is my album.

I can't belive this album is 50 years old.....Eternal MASTERPIECE.

1st time I listened to Sabbath I felt like I was doing something seriously illegal. 🤘

Ozzy , Geezer , Ward , Iomi , Metal Gods

Awesome song from a great band. Black Sabbath was how I connected with my mom. She bought me this album, and one of my best memories was me and my mom going to the reunion tour together, about 20 years ago... She got so stoned I doubt she remembered much about it. Miss you mom! (1948-2021. Requiescat In Pace)

happy 52nd birthday to this monster of an album

It amazes me how Iron Man and Paranoid is what people seem to remember about Ozzy era Black Sabbath. How sweet leaf, Fairies wear boots, children of the grave, etc aren't the black sabbath go-to's is beyond me

Listen to Children of the Grave with Headphones 👍 and focus in on the drumming that Bill Ward is doing , IT'S PURE ENJOYMENT!👍😁

Rock and role is my religion and my love. I am stuck in a time warp. 1970 era music was the greatest. Sabbath was the hardest rocking band of them all.

It's honestly mind blowing how crisp the mix is for an album that's half a century old

DAMN! I got this ALBUM in 1974 when I was 12 and in 6th grade. In 7th grade we had a cool teacher that was into "Electric Light Orchestra" (ELO) and would bring in his albums for us to listen to. So one day I asked him if I could bring an album in for the class to listen to, and he said sure 😏. So I brought in Master of Reality 😉. First he said he never heard of Black Sabbath? 🤯 *?*WWHHAATT!!* but he liked the album cover with the lyrics on the back. Well to make a long story short He LOVED IT & became a big fan 🤗 (and so did most of my classmates) 👍GOD Bless BLACK SABBATH 😜

July 21, 2021 On this day 50 years ago, Black Sabbath released their third album and one of their most heaviest, Master Of Reality. Having detuned the guitars and tempos ranging from sludgy slowness to thrash speeds, the sound was thicker and riffs heavier than anything that came before, while lyrics were preoccupied with marijuana (Sweet Leaf), revolt/protest (Children Of The Grave), religious themes (After Forever), sci-fi escapism (Into The Void) and loneliness (Solitude). Though lambasted at the time for its sound by critics, it became one of the most influential rock/metal albums of all time, pivotal in the development of metal sub-genres stoner, doom and sludge and influenced many bands from Metallica to Nirvana. An album truly ahead of its time.

My father bought the album back in 1971 and he had to stand in line there for more than 7 hours, he listened to the vinyl record so much that the record started to get scratched as often as he listened to it. Now I'm 44 years old and I'm the one who still has it with several cuts and I'm the one who listens to it every week until spotify allows me to!!! I love and always will love the black sabbath ❤️❤️!!!

Bills drumming on sweet leaf and ozzys "all right now!" And "I love you" is some of the hardest hitting sounds to ever open up an album. It legit makes me want to headbang a hole through my wall

I remember dad playing this album back in mid to late 70's. Love and miss you DAD 🤘🏽

"Into The Void"......the perfect title for one of the heaviest songs in existence! Pure, grinding majesty!!

I’ll never forget being 5 in 1987. Up to then I’d only heard Motown, Beatles, Jazz and classical in my home. Then all at the same time my uncle gave me a skateboard and dubbed tapes of this and paranoid and my real life took off from there. I was no longer a regular kid. I was a skater and a metal head. Tastes have changed over the years but I still skate and listen to Sabbath with my kids and they love it too.

WOW!!!!!! 1971!!!! Amazing Music For 1971 or 2023.💯🤟🤟💪💪💪

I was a "weed head" when I was a teen I liked my weed & my beer & I can't even begin to tell anyone the amount of times this album was on my turntable.... relaxing chilling out & BLASTING Sabbath....

Into the void is one of the greatest metal songs ever

One of my favorites since it was produced and im 53 now❤❤❤❤

I can't describe why but this album is simply something very special for me

My dad gave me his phone to play video games back in 2014 and then I stumbled in his music playlist and it was just black sabbath songs Then I fell in love to metal

Favorite Black Sabbath album. Absolute Masterpiece.

one of the most influential albums of all time

Sabbath heaviest record.

Ozzys voice is so amazing!

Its the 21st july 2021. 50 years ago today this behemoth of an album was released (that's half a century) respect Iommi and co. 😎🤘🤘🤘

after 50years they still rule

This is the best heavy metal album of history. The Into the Void riff and the bass line are insane

One of the best albums ever.

Sometimes You Just Need to Straighten Out Your Head . And Go Back And Listen to One Of The Greatest Bands of All ! I Saw These Guys Live . Born Again 1983 ! Great . I Did See Ozzy In 1981 !

Can’t believe this album is 50+ years old and it sounds heavier than most bands put out.

Sabbath are, were, and always will be the best hard rock / metal band. They did almost everything first, years before any others. “Never in the history of rock, have so many owed so much to so few...”. That was the advertisement slogan when “Never Say Die” was released.

Cant believe this is gonna be 50 years old in a few months. It doesnt sound even a bit old

"Solitude" 22:50 always catches me off guard and punches me in the gut. After jamming to the heavy stuff and then a sucker punch of emotion. I didnt grasp how real it is until now that I've gained some life experience. Man is not meant to be alone.

Great career, OZZY deserves all his recognition. Always have enjoyed his music since the early 1970's.

The guitar riff on Into The Void is classic Tony Iommi

This was the first album I ever bought with my own money, at 7 years old, and I still have the exact physical one. This and The Doors L.A. Woman are my favorite two albums in the world (still have that one, too).

Learned every song on my guitar in highschool in 1977. Then saw them live in Hollywood Florida and Van Halen opened the show and nobody had heard of them! The best rock music ever made it never gets old! Rock on my '70's brothers and sisters

I hunted for this album around year or more. It was impossible to find it in Kyiv in 90x. Masterpiece.

"Into the Void" is my neighbor's favorite song - - - whether they like it or not.

0:00 sweet leaf 5:05 After forever 10:27 Embryo 10:54 Children of the grave 16:09 Orchid 17:40 Lord of this world 23:02 Solitude 28:06 Into the void

Bought this album when I was 14 and happily working summer in hotel kitchens. 66 now and After Forever just induced tears. Magnificent. A testimony to love of God.

I taught 2 myself we sold our souls for Rock &Roĺl 1970 1971 verdion,Taught it to myself by ear I was 13 years of ahe

Into the Void.. . still ahead of it's time in 2019. Nothing comes close.

Lord of this World's Riff Will stay on my mind Forever

I grew up with this great music, even went to a few concerts.......nothing can compair to the tunes of the 60''s and 70's

The creators of metal. And it still holds up today.

"Solitude" sounds like an awesome gothic medieval fairytale set in some dark endless forest.

Ill never get tired of this shit. Goosebumps to my skin and tears to my eyes. This album is so damn special to me

51 years ago now and still a masterpiece

Was a big Sabbath fan in my early teens in the early 80s. All these years later, whilst I wouldn't spend the hours listening that I used to, this still makes the hairs on my neck stand up. They were unique IMHO.

23:05 Solitude. The very definition of melancholy as well as beauty 🎶🖤

I havent heard this album in years and now I know why I loved Black Sabbath ...they just rocked!! They are no doubt the Godfathers and inventors of Heavy Metal!!

1971 through 75' hanging with my running buddies...hunting, fishing, swimming, drinking beer, smoking herb, listening to Black Sabbath and chasing girls. No internet, cell phones and other dopamine draining distractions, just living life to the hilt. "Oh young man, rejoice in thy youth!" Ecclesiastes

THE GOAT's of Metal ...Turned onto them in the mid 70's...Love them even more now...:)...It saddens me to know there are BILLIONS of people who have never heard a single chord...~sigh~

Black Sabbath will never end! 🤘🏻

Grew up listening to punk and industrial metal in the 80s, never listened to this in full. Can say that I can hear how all of the hard 80s bands were influenced by Black Sabbath 🤘awesome listen!!

Man album after album Solid!! The musicianship The lyrics The rhythm shifts The vocals Find some band that did their craft better…. Good luck

I've listened to these old sabbath albums a lot over the past few years. I'm still blown away how goddam heavy and groovy it is. Constantly finding new things I've not noticed. The drum sounds on children of the grave how some have that echo and it sounds wonderful. Also the symbols in sweet leaf it just sounds like exhaling a big ass hit off a joint. Amazing sounds so early in heavy music but it's more because I love songs like embryo, fluff, and my favorite laguna sunrise. I love other stuff that is faster and More brutal but I really think Sabbath is king nobody did it better.

Iommi, the riff master!!

I just turned 60. Just like before, I listen again (full blast) to Sabbath everyday. Freed me from anxiety and sure beats the hell out of lockdowns and quarantine.

Don't need a playlist, just listen the whole way through, solid album.

SWEET LEAF [Intro] *Coughing* [Verse 1] Alright now Won't you listen? When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you or your surprise You introduced me to my mind And left me wanting you and your kind Oh, yeah! [Verse 2] I love you Oh, you know it My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you, sweet leaf, though you can't hear Oh, yeah! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Come on now Try it out Straight people don't know what you're about They put you down and shut you out You gave to me a new belief And soon the world will love you, sweet leaf Oh, yeah, baby! [Outro] Come on now! Oh, yeah! Try me out, baby! Alright! Oh, yeah-ah! I want you part of this sweet leaf! Oh, yeah! Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh-oh, try-y me-e o-out I love you, sweet leaf, oh Lord Of This World [Verse 1] You're searching for your mind, don't know where to start Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart You think you know, but you are never quite sure Your soul is ill, but you will not find a cure, yeah! [Verse 2] Your world was made for you by someone above But you choose evil ways instead of love You made me master of the world where you exist The soul I took from you was not even missed, yeah! [Bridge] Lord of this world Evil possessor Lord of this world He's your confessor now [Verse 3] You think you're innocent, you've nothing to fear You don't know me you say, but isn't it clear? You turn to me in all your wordly greed and pride But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die? Yeah! [Instrumental Outro] Solitude-BLACK SABBATH [Verse 1] My name it means nothing, my fortune is less My future is shrouded in dark wilderness Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on Everything I possessed, now, they are gone They are gone, they are gone... [Verse 2] Oh, where can I go to and what can I do? Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you You just laughed when I begged you to stay I've not stopped crying since you went away You went away, you went away... [Verse 3] The world is a lonely place, you're on your own Guess I will go home, sit down and moan Crying and thinking is all that I do Memories I have remind me of you Of you, of you... Into The Void [Verse 1] Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the night sky they blast Through the universe the engines whine Could it be the end of man and time? Back on earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah [Verse 2] Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the black sky so vast Burning metal through the atmosphere Earth remains in worry, hate and fear With the hateful battles raging on Rockets flying to the glowing sun Through the empires of eternal void Freedom from the final suicide [Bridge] Freedom fighters sent out to the sun Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution Leave the earth to all its sin and hate Find another world where freedom waits, yeah [Verse 3] Past the stars in fields of ancient void Through the shields of darkness where they find Love upon a land a world unknown Where the sons of freedom make their home Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves Leave them to their future in their grave Make a home where love is there to stay Peace and happiness in every day [Instrumental Outro]

Solitude how perfect it is that song ;

Best sabbath and heavy metal album ever

At 20,i tought i discovered all there is,regarding music..at 24,i tought my journey with music was over..Now at 26,i redescovered black sabbath,and a new hope has sparkled...

METAL MASTERPIECE. I can also hear where the late great Dimebag Darrel Abbott drew massive inspiration from. What a milestone band. Black Sabbath, The Godfather’s of Metal.

1971 I was in Jr High 7th grade ... got this album after a friend played it at one of our smokeouts at his house. It was the time my big sis and I broke with each other with our musical tastes. She introduced me to the Beatles, Stones, and The Doors in the sixties. But by this time she fell in with the Jesus movement, and I fell in with Black Sabbath. She would preach at me and I would play After Forever back at her.

I found this 8 track in a car of my brothers setting in the Pastor in 1976 I was 10 it is still my most favorite album today

Mindlessly listening for decades with no understanding. Brutal!

I've been listening to this album for over 40 years. Still in my top 10 list!

Love they put this up on their official channel. My personal favorite of the bunch. An album made by stoners, for stoners.
