The end drags a bit too long but before that comes the great Iommi riff. Twice: first with a solo, second with the "Dirty Women" chorus. The rest of the music is good too, with intriguing bridges before that chorus. And there's also a nice fast part in between, for variation. Just love it, and it was a huge success when it came out, and when Sabbath did it again in the reunion gigs.
"Dirty Women" is the longest song on Technical Ecstasy and is the song that sounds like Black Sabbath the most. The song has an epic feel to it and the band seems to get all this energy and motivation basically out of nowhere. "Dirty Women" is Tony Iommi's song. What do I mean? While he has some great solos throughout Technical Ecstasy, I never felt as if he was the dominant force on the album, with outside elements getting in the way (keyboards, orchestration, piano, drummer singing, etc.). With "Dirty Women," it's just Iommi doing what he does best; play some crushing riffs and solo his ass off, especially the two and a half minute solo that ends the song.
