Customer Reviews of Sabotage

The last good Sabbath album.
Black Sabbath, to me, are one of the most influential groups I've ever heard. They have certainly influenced my guitar playing and sound. Unfortuantly, their legacy didn't last long, and this, their 6th album, is the last good one. The painfully dull albums that came out in 1976 and 1978 (Technical Ecstacy, Never Say Die) suck, and don't get me started on the Dio-Gillian-Martin-I don't know how many lineup changes-days of the band. Ugh.

Anyway, every song, minus 1, is excellent. Hole In The Sky is a great aggresive opener, followed immedialty with the calm Don't Start (Too Late). Then, the birth of thrash metal begins. Symptom of The Universe is in my mind, the song that started Metallica. It's a great song. Megalomania is another brilliant epic, with a very VERY cool ending. The Thrill of It All is a great lost gem that gets a little happy near the end. Supertzar sucks because it doesn't really start AT ALL. A 3-and-a-half minute intro to a non-existant song sucks, if you ask me. Am I Going Insane? is a very strange song with some horrific laughing and screaming near the end.

Then there's the best song, The Writ.

This song kicks ass! The riffs are awesome, the singing's top notch, the structure of the song rules, and the ending is extremely catchy and very cool sounding. A perfect ender for an album and a career. Get this album!

A Album Never to Forget!
As much as I could sit here and point fingers at other Black Sabbath albums, This album must be at least the strongest effort among Black Sabbath fans. Many Heavy songs on here may have formed whole gyros of Metal. 1. Hole In The Sky - Heavy and very much the heavest song on here. No way not to like this song if your into metal at all. 95% . . .2. Don't Start (Too Late) - Intro to Symptom of the Universe. 70% . . . 3. Symptom Of The Universe - Heres the fastest and heavest song Black Sabbath ever has done. 100% . . .4. Megalomania - Heres the weird track for you. It is somewha quiet but spooky. 85% . . . 5. The Thrill Of It All - Good Rock song that holds this album together in a way. 85%6. Supertzar - Yes this is the song they used in the 80's for the intro in they concerts. The opera sounding stuff with Tonys guitar. 90% . . . 7. Am I Going Insane (Radio) - Well as much as people would love to destroy this song on "We Sold our Souls for Rock 'n' Roll" for "Hole in the sky" this song to me is a soft paranoid. You gotta love those errie laughs at the end of it. 95% . . . 8. The Writ - Great song that really delivers a overview of this album. 90%. . . (Bonus "song?" at the end of the Writ on UK import with "Blow a Jug". A funny 30 second song that is Really quiet but if you tur it up preety loud you may hear it. Bill Ward "lol sings" this one) . . . If You like this album you should also try: Black Sabbath- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Black Sabbath- Paranoid, Black Sabbath-Vol. 4, Black Sabbath- Masters of Reality, and most metal.

Haunting, eerie, beyond comprehension, atonal hammering
The first 14 minutes of this album, culminating in Megalomania are the most bizarre, weirdest, heaviest wall of music I've ever heard. If you've never traveled out of body into the astral regions of existence but have always wanted to, this is your vehicle. Althouh I think at times the last few tracks miss the mark, Hole in the Sky, Symptom of the Universe, and Megalomania make up for it in abundance. Trust me, you'll never be the same again after you've finished Megalomania. It's simply blows my mind. It's really beyond words. I's' way out there in the astral planes. And maybe that's not far enough.
