Iron Man: The Best of Black Sabbath condenses the Ozzy Osbourne years into one crushing CD edition, a 14-track primer on the band that invented heavy metal.
Gathering songs from their 1970 debut through to Never Say Die, the compilation traces how four young men from Birmingham turned blues-rock into something heavier, darker and far more ominous than anything that came before. Tony Iommi's colossal riffs, Geezer Butler's rumbling bass and lyrics, Bill Ward's swinging power and Ozzy's wailing delivery are all here at full strength.
Paranoid and Iron Man need no introduction, two of the most recognisable riffs in rock history, still thrillingly blunt. War Pigs remains a towering anti-war epic, slow, furious and apocalyptic, while Children of the Grave gallops with a menace that later metal bands spent decades chasing. The title track Black Sabbath, with its tolling bells and that dread-laden tritone riff, is where the whole genre began.
There are change-ups too. Changes is a fragile piano ballad that shows a surprisingly tender side, and Sweet Leaf and Snowblind ride thick, hazy grooves.
For newcomers it is the perfect front door, and for longtime fans a handy single-disc companion for those nights when only the classics will do.
