About this ebook
Black Sabbath's Master of Reality has maintained remarkable historical status over several generations; it's a touchstone for the directionless, and common coin for young men and women who've felt excluded from the broader cultural economy. John Darnielle hears it through the ears of Roger Painter, a young adult locked in a southern California adolescent psychiatric center in 1985; deprived of his Walkman and hungry for comfort, he explains Black Sabbath as one might describe air to a fish, or love to an android, hoping to convince his captors to give him back his tapes.

John Darnielle captures the hate and rebellious spirit of adolescence through the eyes of a committed teen. He spins a review of one of the best metal albums into a tale of acceptance of one's place in life after having to submit to circumstances out of your control.
