Between 1970 and 1975 Black Sabbath released six great albums that today are classics, in every sense of this overused word. Afterwards the things went very badly indeed. The uncommonly dull ''Technical Ecstasy'' (1976), as thoroughly un-Sabbath as its futuristic cover, and the simply dismal ''Never Say Die'' (1978), which sounds pretty much like cheap copy of the Beatles on steroids, marked the sad end of a great era in the history of rock music. But every band deserves to be judged - if at all - by their best. If we concede that ''Black Sabbath'' (1970) and ''Sabotage'' (1975), the debut and the beginning of the end respectively, fine albums as they may be, do not quite match Sabbath's own extraordinarily high standards, we are left with the four albums in the middle: ''Paranoid'' (1970), ''Master of Reality'' (1971), ''Vol. 4'' (1972) and ''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'' (1973).
