██ AMG Review : ██
██ Everybody knows that Black Sabbath's legacy rests on ██
██ their first four albums -- after that, they lost their ██
██ luster, or more precisely their mythic power. At their ██
██ peak, which is how they are remembered, Sabbath were all ██
██ about myth and power. Their very name had an ominous ██
██ resonance, capturing their murky, foreboding sound ██
██ perfectly. Taken at face value, the lyrics of lead singer ██
██ Ozzy Osbourne were ridiculous, but delivered in his ██
██ banshee wail and supported by the oozing, primeval sludge ██
██ of the band, they could sound positively frightening, the ██
██ last testament of man slowly being pulled into the dark ██
██ corners of hell (there's something about their music that ██
██ lends itself to florid writing, as well). That sound was ██
██ intact on their 1970 debut, and it seemingly came out of ██
██ nowhere. Sure, some psychedelic and acid rock bands were ██
██ heavy, but nobody approached the gloom of Black Sabbath, ██
██ nobody had the same sense of dread. Decades later, after ██
██ years of airplay, after years of imitators, after their ██
██ innovations have been assimilated, their music still ██
██ sounds out of time, still sounds crushingly heavy and ██
██ dark.Of course, that sentiment doesn't apply to all of ██
██ the music Black Sabbath made -- Osbourne left the band in ██
██ 1978 and the band was never quite the same, but truth be ██
██ told, Sabbath lost their mythic power long before Ozzy ██
██ went solo. Starting with 1973's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, ██
██ the group began to stretch out a bit on their albums, ██
██ giving guitarist Tony Iommi acoustic spotlights, weaving ██
██ synthesizers into their tapestry of doom, gradually ██
██ opening up the sound of their records so much that they ██
██ no longer had their mystique. They still could sound like ██
██ Sabbath, but they didn't much feel like Sabbath anymore, ██
██ particularly on their last two LPs with Ozzy, 1976's ██
██ Technical Ecstasy and 1978's Never Say Die! This is the ██
██ part of Sabbath history fans conveniently forget when ██
██ they celebrate the original lineup, but it's rightly on ██
██ display on Rhino's lavish eight-CD box set Black Box: The ██
██ Complete Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978. Since the ██
██ original lineup does still retain a mythic aura, some ██
██ listeners unfamiliar with the trajectory of the group's ██
██ career might assume that the latter four albums are all ██
██ as heavy as Paranoid, and the fact that they're not may ██
██ be a surprise and it might not be an altogether ██
██ unpleasant one, too. While conventional wisdom among fans ██
██ and the band is that the last two records are travesties, ██
██ they're not nearly as bad as their reputation would ██
██ suggest. They're certainly not what anybody looking for ██
██ prime Sabbath would want to hear, but the varied ██
██ production makes for interesting, albeit dated, listens, ██
██ while both Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and 1974's Sabotage ██
██ strike an effective blend of heavy sludge and layered ██
██ production. Yet no matter how good those two albums are ██
██ -- and despite fan affection for them, they're underrated ██
██ simply because they exist in the shadow of Paranoid and ██
██ Master of Reality -- it's the first four that define ██
██ Sabbath, and they all have aged very well. Yes, certain ██
██ recording techniques and studio conventions now sound a ██
██ little dated, but they retain their primal power.Since ██
██ the music is familiar, the real question with Black Box ██
██ is whether the package itself is worth buying. The answer ██
██ is a qualified yes. At first, it seems like there's not ██
██ much need for the box, since these recordings have been ██
██ reissued and packaged so many times it seems that the ██
██ group has a provision in its contract demanding three new ██
██ reissues in the U.K. every year. Plus, Rhino had released ██
██ the excellent double-disc Symptom of the Universe in ██
██ 2002, so not only were remasters easily available, but ██
██ there was also a good compilation in the U.S. While all ██
██ this is true, there's something to be said for getting ██
██ all the material in one place, and there's little doubt ██
██ that the package itself is worthwhile for fans willing to ██
██ spend one hundred dollars for music they know by heart. ██
██ The remastering is good, the digipacks are nicely done, ██
██ the black velvet cover has good liner notes and ██
██ testimonials from musicians, and the art direction ██
██ cleverly is only in black and white, with not a color ██
██ shot to be found in the whole 78-page book. Best of all, ██
██ there's also a bonus DVD containing footage from the ██
██ widely circulated "Live at the Beat Club" performance; ██
██ it's only four tracks, but it's a great example of ██
██ Sabbath at their prime, and it enriches this box. ██
██ Ultimately, most listeners are going to be content with ██
██ any of the classic four, but Black Box isn't meant for ██
██ most listeners -- it's meant for the devoted, and this ██
██ box lives up to their high expectations. ██
