Where should I start?
Should I pick up their first cd?

Which one is the best?

Just get the first 5 and consider it an investment.

MASTER OF REALITY is my favorite Ozzy era album. Vol4 has quite a muddy production. SBS probably the cleanest. Love early Sabbath.

I'm the total opposite. I think the production on Vol 4 suits it perfectly.
I hate the production on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath , far too sparse & tinny for my liking.

Lol. That's what makes music discussion the great subject it is. Vol 4 is a huge let down for me as it has some of their best tracks lost in a muddy malaise. I think MOR has the best guitar sound though. That chugging riff on INTO THE VOID pwns nearly every metal band!

Master of reality should be prescribed as a laxative.

I Say start with their debut album then pick up Paranoid.

I guess Paranoid first cause it's got the hits and then Master of Reality because it's the best.
