“Dirty Women” - Wow! Black Sabbath ends their album with the eight minute plus “Dirty Women” workout! Basically, it tells the tale of Ozzy wondering around looking to score and picking up a dirty woman.

You can’t blame Sabbath as they’re trying to channel their inner self through song! Whoah that’s deep! Ha! When I think of Black Sabbath, I think of heavy doom and gloom.

“She’s Gone” - I guess the song “Changes” kind of affected Ozzy and crew as they were trying to write chick songs, at times succeeding and others sometimes falling short. Happy high Sabbath just wanting a good time! Even dig the honky tonk piano throughout the tune as well. It’s almost a throw together good time tune and that’s Miami talking I believe. Doctor Rock will help you anytime at all!” Hey readers! That’s the deal of this tune. “Rock ‘N’ Roll Doctor” - Junkie Sabbath looking for a fix! The lyrics say it all: “If you wanna feel groovy, give the doctor a call. It’s funny as even Black Sabbath diss some of this stuff! You know Black Sabbath took on a ton of heat for this record but seriously, these songs are good. “All Moving Parts (Stand Still)” - Love Iommi‘s riff n’ roll on this song and hey, there’s a creepy ’70s synth seeping in the background. A bit of it sounds like Sabbath and a bit doesn’t! Give these guys credit there - baked from the sun recording in Miami and still shaking things up! This is a great song! But wait a minute! This tune almost sounds like a mini rock opera as the song shifts gears, slows down and brings a mid tempo pace along with some keys. “Gypsy” - Ward kicks off “Gypsy” with his drums and cymbals smashing around and “Gypsy” ramps Sabbath‘s back up. “It’s Alright” is a no frills track! Pretty decent actually. Black Sabbath are getting technical here and not resting on their past success. “It’s Alright” - Bill Ward does the lead vocal here and he’s got a pretty decent voice. “You Won’t Change Me” is almost a slowish tune that weaves in and out with different time changes. “You Won’t Change Me” - Black Sabbath are changing gears. “Back Street Kids” gets the album off to a rocking start!

The middle point of the song has a good ol’ “synth a roo” making a cameo, which sounds once again like The Who‘s Quadrophenia era. Ozzy sings the tale of being in a rock n’ roll band going from nothing to something. Perhaps that’s due to the sound of the album as a whole but the terrible mix really comes across especially on this song. Think Heart‘s “Barracuda” pace - not that this sounds like it - just the tempo! “Back Street Kids” is a great song except that Ozzy‘s vocals are terribly mixed. “Back Street Kids” - Iommi nails a heavy riff and the fellas as they always do join in. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward recorded this in Miami! Say no more as I’m sure there was a wee bit of partying going on at Sabbath‘s headquarters and they probably realized at one point “Ummm, we gotta get an album done!”

Trying to move forward yet still trying to keep the crack of the door a little open on their past! Still though, what do you do in Black Sabbath‘s case? Do you keep doing what you’re doing and people will call you out as you’re not changing it up musically or do you in fact change it up and people will still bust your chops about changing? This record for me is Black Sabbath in no man’s land. Everything - even the songs are a different kind of Black Sabbath. Gone is the wicked warmness audio of the first six albums replaced by a more kind of sterile studio sound on Technical Ecstasy. Interesting turn of events at Camp Sabbath as when Technical Ecstasy is released, the production has changed.
