Sabbath Bloody Sabbath — 1973

A more sophisticated peak balancing heaviness with melody and strings. Ambitious and beloved. A high point. The album that rewards listeners who go deeper into the catalogue.

On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
