Summary
In this episode, Bill Peters delves into Black Sabbath's 'Seventh Star', exploring its unique sound, the circumstances surrounding its creation, and its reception. He argues that the album is more of a Tony Iommi solo project than a traditional Black Sabbath album, highlighting the differences in songwriting and vocal performance. Peters reflects on the album's legacy and his personal journey with it, ultimately suggesting that while flawed, it holds value when viewed outside the context of the Black Sabbath discography.
