Black Sabbath Albums Ranked

[@jackbrown4697]

Always Master of Reality for me

[@jasonboardman2796]

For me also

[@g-man4744]

Same here!

[@Messihaz]

Finally after years of injustice we witness the redemption of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath rightfully into a top 3 spot! For me, A National Acrobat is still the sickest riff ever conceived to date.

[@WestonMedvetz]

The title track puts up a good fight for that title though

[@CCKaraoke]

You'll never please everyone. Cross Purposes is one of their best.

[@kevinellis8017]

I think Forbidden and the 2024 remix edition of Forbidden should be two different rankings. Honestly, if you listened to the original mix of Forbidden, it's a D-tier album. But then you listen to 2024 Forbidden, that I think bumps that album up to C-tier.

[@aaroncoroner5915]

Wow. The first Sabbath ranking that's ever made sense. Good job! Only thing is I like Seventh Star just a smidge more than Eternal Idol, great one Questy! Cheers! Oh yeah do a Coroner ranking next, thanks.

[@knh778]

Master of Reality is the GOAT. My go to album. People talking about never say die and tech ecstacy bla bla trying to sound cool and forget about dehumanizer, an absolute banger🔥

[@Mark-nh2hs]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is defo my fave album as it was the first one my cousin introduced to me in the 90s. He had the old vinyl version his Dad gave him - the cover art pulled me in and the songs were so out there.

[@mindful2864]

Black Sabbath are the all time classic pioneers of metal. I love almost every album they’ve done. The Ozzy era is my favorite, the Dio era is also great, and I even think the Tony Martin era is under appreciated. Here is my ranking: S - Paranoid, Master of Reality, Mob Rules A+ - Black Sabbath, Sabotage, Heaven and Hell, Dehumanizer, 13 A - Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Headless Cross, Tyr, Cross Purposes B - Technical Ecstasy, Born Again, The Eternal Idol C - Never Say Die! D - Seventh Star, Forbidden

[@harizonflamingice3167]

I wouldn't say Forbidden is one of my favorite Sabbath albums, but I did hear the newer mix of it that came out recently and I have to say it made the album better. Great list overall!

[@Slippery_Rat_Metal]

The turnaround on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is crazy. I love that album

[@ThePuka]

The Stephen Wilson remixes change my opinion on some albums, plus the Black Box versions of the Ozzy era albums sound so much much nicer, Geezers bass is better mixed in particular.

[@anony-moon]

The what

[@SinfullSquad]

Also another person who loves technical ecstasy!!! Literally such a fantastic album and everyone hates it because “its not heavy enough”

[@a-man3179]

Damn, Questy got cyberbullied into changing his test answers

[@edeljoker11]

i'd love to see a draconian ranking! brilliant underrated band. and also: sabbath rules!

[@SinfullSquad]

I agree so much with 13, it feels like an album where what if we cut out sabbath’s entire ozzy discography and make a album based off of the only the song black sabbath

[@leonscoretzka801]

[@rahmatsumantri6577]

1. Paranoid 2. Heaven and Hell 3. Black Sabbath 4. Master of Reality 5. Sabotage 6. Vol. 4 7. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

[@PafOfDestruction]

Do you think you could rank Arkona albums? It's my favorite band and the few times you've talked about them, it was positive. (the Russian Arkona, not Polish)

[@zachdproductions123]

My ranking has changed somewhat over time. Specifically with Volume 4. I used to think it was eh, but nowadays it is probably my second favorite Black Sabbath album. Master of Reality has always been number one for me.

[@Schenker01]

1- Master of Reality 2- Paranoid 3- Sabotage 4- Dehumanizer 5- Black Sabbath 6- Vol 4 7- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 8- Heaven and Hell 9- The Devil You Know (*That´s the name of the last album you ranked, they just changed the name of the band because they played live with Ozzy and didn't want to confuse the fans, but it is a "Black Sabbath" album nonetheless) 10- 13 (better than all the Tony Martin era combined :D) I don't like the rest of the albums.

[@jakeyoung2485]

Somebody changed their mind on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath😂😂

[@EmmaClips-vv9dg]

I'd rank Born Again as my no 1 because I love Deep Purple. I love it when Ian Gillan screams..❤❤😅😂

[@anony-moon]

Questy has redeemed himself

[@cbn6635]

Never understood the massive lack of love for 'Never Say Die', that many Sabbath fans seem to have; that album is WAY better than it's reputation in my book! 🤷

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

Agree. Even if they ended there, they would still have among one of the best discographies in metal

[@cbn6635]

@@joaquinlezcano2372 Exactly! 👍

[@fdevlin5932]

Yep

[@bradders9743]

Its better than Technical Ecstasy imo

@@bradders9743 I agree.. 🤗

[@billcowan5539]

I grew up a Sabbath fan and I really enjoyed your Ranking, for me Paranoid, Master of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage and Heaven and Hell are my S tier, Black Sabbath, Mob Rules and Vol 4 are my A Tier’s

[@Matias-music-71]

Paranoid , Vol . 4 , Sabotage , Sabbath Bloody Sabbath , Black Sabbath , Master Of Reality , Heaven and Hell , Mob Rules , after that , I did not care enough to really rank ..,

[@KnightJirka05]

Totally agree on Eternal Idol, it doesn't sound like Black Sabbath at all.

[@yanisfadi1730]

respect for putting vol4 S🤟

[@ffarkasm]

Original title would be better.

[@yanisfadi1730]

@@ffarkasm you’re mom in my bed would be better

[@RobertNowak-ge1ib]

My favorite ten albums by the band are, in order, the following albums: 1.Sabbath bloody Sabbath. 2.Heven and Hell 3.Headlles Cross 4.Master of Reality 5.Mob Rules 6.Paranoid 7.Black Sabbath 8.Born Again 9.Dehumanizer 10.Cross Purpuroses 17:29 The rest of the albums don't deserve an as a whole, because in my opinion they contain a maximum of two or three songs, so they can't be treated as a finished album.🔥👌😁

[@joepplaysdrums]

Please do the Stratovarius ranking next!

[@jackbrown4697]

Heck yeah. I love that band. Seconded

[@PortugueseMACPOW]

Rank Stratovarius next my dudeman

Master of Reality still holds as one if the heaviest metal albums of all time

[@camwatters-iz5bs]

[@max051472]

Never Say Die is a Banger. A+ Tier. Admittedly it took a few listens but its one of my favs now. Technical Ectasy is D.

[@martinnapier6286]

My favourite is Black Sabbath with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath a close second. Favourite Dio album is Mob Rules.

[@lanni.]

IMO first 5 Ozzy albums first then Born Again and The Devil You Know.

[@neugey]

So this is a Tyr ranking

[@loganwhitehorse]

Very difficult to rank, the quality is so high. I'm tempted to throw about half the catalog into the S tier.

[@reliablelikekoichi]

13 is definitely an A tier album , low A and I don't think it should be that low. The rest of the list is fine ig. But just like u said "sign of the southern cross" for mob rules, I'd say " god is dead" for 13 . It's not a C tier album

[@everts1698]

Funny ranking!

[@cammoore389]

Unpopular opinion but the devil you know is S tier

[@bertkarlsson1421]

Have you heard Heresie by the RIO band Univers Zero? It's the darkest album ever made.

[@13tuyuti]

I would drop Vol 4. Two tiers on account of Changes, which is the only Black Sabbath song I am aware of that I have to skip. Just can't listen to it.

[@Rival_Appliances]

Love the Enslaved shirt Questu

Hi, mate! Still waiting for that Krallice rating 😄

Forbidden lower than Seventh Star? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

13

I haven’t watched this yet I’m just gonna tell you you’re wrong in advance. Get it out of the way.

[@Zogblaster14]

Vol 4 is the best to me it's the darkest I love the heavy doom in it
