  Rolling Stone : Black Sabbath: Biography
Black Sabbath the album, the song, and the band have been studied by metalheads with all the fervor accorded the Dead Sea Scrolls.
"Black Sabbath" the song starts off the not-feeling-so-fab four's 1970 debut, and from the moment that its first fearsome notes were unleashed on an unsuspecting public it has remained one of the unshakeable cornerstones of heavy metal.
It's an album that eats hippies for breakfast; also, it has even been statistically determined that if a brain cell were the size of a grain of sand, the amount lost while listening to this record upon its first year of release could easily fill the Grand Canyon.

Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style.
Black Sabbath, which took an even more extreme tack than the still blues- and folk-based Led Zeppelin, was lambasted by critics (and though they eventually made their peace with Zeppelin, they never did with Sabbath).
When they returned to action in July 1975 with their sixth album, Sabotage, they were welcomed back at home, but in the U.S. the musical climate had changed, making things more difficult for an album-oriented band with a heavy style, and though the LP reached the Top 20, it did not match previous sales levels.

Sabbath adds some synths to their sludge and comes up with a surprisingly solid album, which manages to expand on their patented slow, gloomy sound.

 Black Sabbath Album Reviews
The band's most famous album was a U.K. #1 hit and went to #8 in the U.S., largely on the strength of three of their greatest songs.
Anyway, Sabbath disciples likely didn’t know what to make of this fairly diverse collection, but it has mostly weathered time well (aside from the two filler tracks), standing as a consistent gathering of tunes that daringly tried to push the envelope in directions not tried before or since.
Ozzy was fired (later briefly reuniting with Black Sabbath for a much ballyhooed late ‘90s Reunion tour and album), and diminutive former Rainbow singer Ronnie James Dio was hired, a move that ignited all involved, at least for a little while.

Compare that to the last album, where they had to put up towards ten seconds pause between them, to let the listener be able to get out of one tune and into another.
Live albums have a tendency to get somewhat one-dimensional, and that goes for this one too, but at least you cannot criticize it for being one-sided ;-).

 Live At Last - Black Sabbath - Music Records Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
If you like Black Sabbath, you've probably been to the Ozzfest, seen Sabbath or Ozzy in concert, or maybe you were at the Last Supper gig at the end of the last century.
Whichever that may be, don't expect to hear the modern Sabbath here: what you'll hear is vintage 1973 Sabbath, at the height of their powers, still refining the material for "Black Sabbath Volume 4".
Many favourites are in tow: "Paranoid", "Sweet Leaf" and "War Pigs", all of which are still regulars in both Sabbath and Ozzy sets today, along with (at the time) new material such as "Laguna Sunrise", "Cornucopia" and a fascinating "Killing Yourself To Live", where the words are still in the process of being written.
