Overview
More Info

Unless you're a die-hard fan, it's quite difficult to keep track of all the different lineups that have toured and recorded under the name
Black Sabbath
after
Ozzy Osbourne
's exit in 1979. The only original member to remain with
Sabbath
through thick and thin has been guitarist
Tony Iommi
, who by the early '90s was briefly joined by a rhythm section of session musicians widely known within the British
heavy metal
community -- drummer
Cozy Powell
(
Jeff Beck
,
Michael Schenker
,
Rainbow
, etc.) and bassist
Neil Murray
(
Whitesnake
,
Gary Moore
, etc.) -- in addition to singer
Tony Martin
. This version of
Sabbath
would go on to record a pair of largely ignored albums together, 1990's
TYR
and 1995's
Forbidden
, which serve as the basis for the 2001 compilation
The Best of Black Sabbath
. It's a tough sell to issue a
Sabbath
"best-of" and not include such
metal
standards as
"Paranoid"
or
"Iron Man,"
but this ten-track collection sticks to the aforementioned latter-day era (for the most part at least -- a few tracks from 1994's
Cross Purposes
, which saw
Murray
briefly replaced with
Geezer Butler
, are included). Although
Iommi
came under great criticism for keeping the
Sabbath
banner alive during this time (many felt these titles should have been credited solely to
Iommi
as solo releases), the guitarist still retained his knack for penning mammoth riffs, as evidenced by such tracks as
"Guilty as Hell,"
"Virtual Death,"
and
"The Sabbath Stones."
If you're looking to see what
Iommi
was up to during this forgotten period,
The Best of Black Sabbath
will serve its purpose. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
