First album Video Review
I posted a video review of the first Black Sabbath album - the new 2 CD release. I show off the packaging, and talk about it. Video runs about five minutes. Check it out:

I tried viewing with both Mozilla Firefox & Internet Explorer and I keep getting the stop, start, stop, start problem. Could the YouTube system have reeked havoc with the file size of the video or is it just my pc?

^^^ I had the same problem when I viewed the video. Nonetheless, a great, unique and very informative way to introduce the release. Thanks for your effort in making the vid., Joe!

Joe I've have over the last two years have heard many Youtubers review various different things, and I got to say, you did a very good job on this review. A 10/10, straight-forward review. People can write good reviews, but it takes a lot to present one's view orally and clearly. With that said, good job, loved the review, and hey, maybe you should do it more often on your free time of course. Once again, rock on.

Try this link. I'm guessing you're having hitching because your computer and/or internet connection is having issues keeping up with the HD video stream.
This is lower quality.

Well, I had over 15 years of experience writing stuff for my company, I have an idea what makes a somewhat decent one.  I plan on doing them for Paranoid & Master of Reality, too.

Nice vid. Just a slight correction though, the poem IS in the booklet. It's on the first page.

The book with that black & white photo you speak of (in the studio with the box of Swan matches on the window), I always remember it to be in the one by Chris Welch (1982). Great photo it is too.

Just wanted to add 2 things:
1. I'm insulted, I know what an 8track is.  Just kidding, but I do know what it is.
2. Bit Rate Biggot, love that combination of words.

Minor updates to my review. The book I mention towards the end is not Mark Weiss, he was the photographer, I believe. And the poem from the original release *IS* here, but not the upside down cross. That was my error.

Had to watch it twice. I didn't really pay attention the first time around as I was too busy lusting after your Battlestar Galactica action figure

That was going to be my next question or suggestion. I can't wait for them! And Joe, thanks for the link to the lower quality vid., I'll check it out soon.

Great Review man! I really like the extra photos that they included, even though they are just printed on the inside and stuff, they seem pretty awesome to me. That little extended booklet seems pretty awesome as well.

Nice commercial, not a review. There was no criticism. In my opinion these Deluxe Editions (filled with karaoke tracks) deserve a bit of criticism.

There is a Kareoke tribute to Black Sabbath with 16 songs (I think it was released by a company called Radio Starz). I would gladly shell out for instrumental and even accoustic versions of all their albums.

Uh, there isn't a whole lot wrong with them, hence not a lot negative to say. I do mention the instrumentals, and say "You could use them as karaoke, I suppose". That to me was a blowing off of them.
I don't believe that just to be a review you have to have criticisms. If it's warranted, yes - but your statement infers that it's not a review because there's no criticism. You want to criticize them? Do your own review. My review is MY OPINION. Don't like it? Lump it. That's how I feel about it.
Plus I was reviewing JUST the first one. When I do the one for Paranoid, I'll have more to say about the instrumentals.
