I'll agree with most of that, except to add that it seemed like the first
three albums
were as forced a style as any of the rest, trying to fit the image of being
Columbia's
Black Sabbath.  In part AOF seemed to be that stopping, and probably a lot also
those darn 4-track thingamajigs that meant they could all go out and write songs
on their own instead of together....
