Of course, the answer is "Supertzar." Iommi and what sounds like a chorus of the last Tzar's security detail. Very bizarre and poignant…

"Acrobat" has something to do with abortion. I know Geezer (at that point at least) was pretty into Catholicism, it probably had an impact on the tune. And the sleeve on "Master of Reality" is wrong, according to recent interviews, Geezer says he wrote the words to "After Forever".

When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you, for your surprise you introduced me, to my mind And left me wanting, you and your kind
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
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

"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is back in my life again. So gut-wrenching.
It seems at face value to be a Satanist song, but I read elsewhere that it's actually a history of the band? Any truth to that? For some reason I also thought Ozzy was actually claiming to be a Christian back then. Maybe I just made that up.

side 1, song 1, first album, you know the damn song it's called "Black Sabbath," that riff right there is the heaviness from which all heavinesses spring, give it the fuck up for that jam, it is as heavy as fuck.

I actually think "Paranoid" is pretty insightful about depression! "All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy" is kind of an amazing statement imo. Also "finished with my woman 'cause she could not help me with my mind", self-aware in its selfishness.

First time encountering this thread... I thought of this immediately. But I'm not sure it actually makes sense. It could be their "Bewlay Brothers," AFAICT.I'm also thinking National Acrobat is a strong contender. Maybe Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is their deepest album. Or possibly just the one with the most spaghetti lyrics.
