| Black Sabbath - Sabotage Band: Black Sabbath Tracks: - Hole in the Sky - Don't Start (Too Late) - Symptom of the Universe - Megalomania - Thrill of It All - Supertzar - Am I Going Insane (Radio) [Radio Edit] - Writ - Sweet Leaf [Live] Sabbath's best album! Many people think this is not one of Black Sabbath's best albums. In my opinion this is Sabbath's best album if not one of the best albums ever! It starts out with the heavy metal classic "Hole in the Sky". "Don't Start (Too Late)" is a nice soft intro to the spine crushing heavy metal classic "Symptom of the Universe". "Megalomania" is the next song and in my opinion the best heavy metal song ever. It is a 9 minute 43 second epic and it has great music and the lyrics are outstanding. "Thrill of it All" is another great track. "Supertzar" is a great instrumental with a choir which shows Black Sabbath's diversity. "Am I Going Insane" I'd hafta say is probably my least favorite track on the album but it is still a very very good Sabbath song. Even the worst song on an album is great. This classic album closes out with the anger filled "The Writ".Another great heavy metal song. So if you are looking for a wonderful heavy metal album pick this one up because you won't be able to take it out of the cd player! Black Sabbath at their best! Sabbath at their best This album is definitely Sabbath at their best. It just goes that tiny bit better than Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, mainly because it doesn't have any fillers like 'Fluff'. Hole In The Sky is a fast and furious opening, a classic Sabbath song. The lead-in to Symptom of The Universe, Don't Start (Too Late) is a very strange, fifty-second long acoustic interlude. Symptom of The Universe, although being possibly Sabbath's heaviest song (and therefore the heaviest song full stop until Motorhead came along), is a complex and brilliant song, which showcases Bill Ward's drumming quality as much as War Pigs, as well as Ozzy's singing capabilities. The acoustic outro is one of the greatest things I have ever heard. Meglomania, though, goes even further. A close second to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as the band's best song, this 9 minute-plus rollercoaster does not cease to amaze. It was best summed up by someone on a Sabbath mailing list I subscribe to, who said it was 'a nine-minute orgasm. Everything is in here.' When the worst song on an album is as good as Thrill of It All, you realise how amazing this album is. Thrill of It All, though being the weakest on the album, is a great song, filled with riff after riff after riff, showcasing Geezer's lyrical brilliance. Supertzar is Truly enchanting. Iommi's evil riffs accompanied by a Gregorian choir is a Truly amazing combination, and shows how much Sabbath were prepared to stretch the boundaries. Am I Going Insane, I can never really work out why I like it so much. I have read the criticisms of it on this page, and I can understand where they're coming from, but when I turn it on, I am overpowered. The Writ tops it all off brilliantly. Geezer Butler's talent as a bass Player is Truly shown here, as he doesn't even contemplate sticking to the basic guitar riff. And that is why there will never be another Sabbath. That free-flowing style they have, in which one of them can just go off and do whatever they want, and it will still seem to fit into the song, is something that can never be equalled. Certain styles of metal became more and more structured and fast, that there was absolutely no room for that. I Love bands like Pantera, Megadeth (in the 80s) and Metallica (also in the 80s), but none of them will ever have that Sabbath feel. Getting back to The Writ, though, this song also shows that Sabbath weren't afraid to stick to the brash heaviness that people who aren't true fans of The Band know them for. All in all, this is as much a progressive-rock album as it is metal. Iommi's solos become faster and more stunning every album (until Born Again), and this is no exception. This album Truly is Sabbath at their very peak. Awesome CD!!!!!! This is probably one of Black Sabbath's best CDs. I have all 9 of the Black Sabbath with Ozzy albums and I'd have to say this one ranks about 3rd. Paranoid is the best and Master of Reality is 2nd. This albums a little bit different, if you ask me its like a lot heavier metal. Songs like "Hole in the Sky" and "Symptom of the Universe" shows Sabbaths true maturity and experinece in the music industry. My Favorite song on this one os probably "Thrill of it All" and awesome tune. "AM I Going Insane" is awesome to. So if your a fan of the Sabbath or heavy metal in general buy this album!!
