Any other examples of one album creating a genre? Yeah I know there was other heavy stuff before this album, but as far as I know no-one had ever released a whole album of such sludgy heaviness before.

there were emocore/post-hardcore bands that were screaming, but this really feels like the first full-on screamo album
Nathan James
Did Straight Outta Compton basically create gangsta rap or did it exist before that?
Jason Gonzalez
That Deep Purple album with the orchestra pretty much laid the blueprint for neo-classical metal.
James Adams
Basically created the concept album
Joshua Scott
Yeah
Christopher Martinez
Rhyme Pays and Schoolly D
Evan Ward

lol the only heavy songs on that album are the title track and maybe NIB
Dominic Ross
Uh, no. The 50s had concept albums
Colton Ramirez
True, I admit that Master of Reality really is the definitive "big slab of sludgy riffage" Black Sabbath album.
Zachary Cox
Charles Powell
I agree that black sabbath s/t invented heavy metal, though, simply for the title track. I can't imagine hearing that in 1970.
Easton Barnes
Sebastian Sullivan
Its' pretty similer to listening to it in 2022
Landon Butler
Arguably one of the first albums of the late 90s/early 2000s butt rock genre
Chase Gomez
wtf.. based CREED user
Jack Powell
but they just ripped off alice in chains, soundgarden and nirvana in that order
Isaiah Watson
Pioneered Brutal Death metal and heavily influenced Slam

While they did historically lead to the development of metal through their influence, it's weird how Black Sabbath is now touted as having been innovatively offensive to its some sort of image of mellow ears that has been made of its contemporaries. You had Ascension several years earlier, for fuck's sake. Even the likes of 21st Century Schizoid Man in rock itself for heaviness a year earlier and stuff like The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other coming the same year as the s/t with far more distortion.
