    I liked Sinner when it came out. I haven't heard it in a while. Might spin it up shortly.

      In return I should listen to some Black Sabbath.

      What albums/songs do you recommend?

        Personally I'm a sucker for Black Sabbath. but also Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Sabotage. 13 is good but I think that it requires you to understand the band to fully appreciate it.

        It's worth reading about the album before listening to them as it will give you an extra depth to the listening experience as you will be able to pick up on all the subtle little things, like how:

        According to Black Sabbath guitarist and founder member Tony Iommi, the group's debut album was recorded in a single day on 16 October 1969. The session lasted twelve hours. Iommi said: "We just went in the studio and did it in a day, we played our live set and that was it. We actually thought a whole day was quite a long time, then off we went the next day to play for £20 in Switzerland." Aside from the bells, thunder and rain sound effects added to the beginning of the opening track, and the double-tracked guitar solos on "N.I.B.," there were virtually no overdubs added to the album. Iommi recalls recording live: "We thought, 'We have two days to do it and one of the days is mixing.' So we played live. Ozzy (Osbourne) was singing at the same time, we just put him in a separate booth and off we went. We never had a second run of most of the stuff."

        When you realise it was pretty much all one take, you appreciate it more.
