    Sabbath's final masterpiece

    By dariand  Jun 4, 2003

    I think that this album is Black Sabbath's final masterpiece cause this album unfortunately marked the beginning of the original Black Sabbath lineup and it's way better than most of their follow ups with the exception of Born Again.Hole in t...he Sky is a fast paced rocker with growling vocals and memorable guitar riffs, Don't Start Too Late is a creepy instrumental which is the intro to the classic Symptom of the Universe which has a wide range of riffs, Megalomania is one of Black Sabbath's most underrated songs and I love the 'Feel it Slipping Away' part of the song and this song is over 9 and a half minutes long, Thrill of it All is a great rocker and it should've been another Black Sabbath standard, Supertzar is a evil track with the choir singing backup vocals, next is the psychedelic rocker of Am I Going Insane (Radio) which is the weakest song off of this album and one of the weakest songs during the pre Techincal Ecstasy era, next is the multi-part epic of The Writ which is about a the band's management and the anger really shows off of this song, if you love Black Sabbath or classic metal music, then pick up Sabotage at your local music score and listen to it, too bad Black Sabbath would never sound the same after this album.

    Their last great album with Ozzy

    By Uponthemyohmy  Dec 25, 2002

    Sabotage is a good album for a classic rock/metal fan but it falls short of the earlier albums with Ozzy, the classic songs are Hole in the Sky, Syptom of the Universe, Megalomania, and The Writ. The song that I'd like the least is Am I Going Insane....If you're a big fan of Black Sabbath or Ozzy, then you'll like this album, it's better than their next two releases. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Sabotage (Remastered)

  • All Music Guide

    Years of constant touring, alcoholism, and drug abuse finally began to affect Black Sabbath around the time of their sixth release, 1975's Sabotage. While it's not a bad album (in fact, it's one of their most underrated), you can sense that the magical chemistry that made such albums as Paranoid and Vol. 4 so special was beginning to disintegrate. But guitarist Tony Iommi again comes equipped with an arsenal of sturdy, ultraheavy riffs, as evidenced by the raucous album opener, "Hole in the Sky," as well as the druginduced anthem "Symptom of the Universe" both tracks coming as close to garage rock as Sabbath ever got. But the album's biggest surprise is the melodic, synthlaced "Am I Going Insane (Radio)," which is more akin to '70s power pop than to the band's patented doom metal (although the lyrics are what you'd expect detailing a person's downward spiral into dementia). Although often overlooked, Sabotage remains an interesting and challenging release. - Greg Prato, All Music Gui...de Read more Less

Biography

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style. The group took the blues-rock sound of late '60s acts like Cream, Blue Cheer, and Vanilla Fudge to its logical conclusion, slowing the tempo, accentuating the bass, and emphasizing screaming guitar solos and howled vocals full of lyrics expressing m... Read more
