Black Sabbath
Description:
This is the band's seventh album, and the first to incorporate glam sounds and synthesizers to break away from the "heavy sound" (a creative evolution), and it was a work that divided both sides of the debate.Originally released on October 22, 1976 on Vertigo Records.Technical EcstasyWhen it was released in October 1976, "Technical Ecstasy" was born out of a fire and raised in flames. The album initially spawned fans, many naysayers, and critics who suggested that the band had lost the idea and was at the end of its career. And while it proved to be a confusing time for Black Sabbath, there was an extraordinary strength and vitality to the music. If one were to listen to the album again today, one would hear that Black Sabbath was able to create magic in the studio, despite the many problems that existed both within and without the band.What emerged was clearly several steps down from the distant past of their eponymous 1970 debut. But this is a band that has been on the musical treadmill for several years and is not one to repeat the past, and Black Sabbath has maintained their trademark riffs, and has done the job better than any band on earth.They were expanding their sphere of activity when the band proved to everyone that they were not only moving majestically toward the end of their first decade milestone, but also adapting to the situation and becoming an overselling product.When you revisit the album's charms, you will remember one thing above all else. That you are privileged to open the doors of a world that never had the chance to evolve. This is why "Technical Ecstasy" remains one of Black Sabbath's greatest achievements, and perhaps its most disappointing and unappreciated.Packaging: Digi-sleeve with double-sided inserts.
