A quick Post on my Favorite Black Sabbath Record SABOTAGE !!
Although The first Sabbath record was truly ground breaking for its time.. Trails of the Blues can still be heard throughout the record.. Im Not saying thats a Bad thing because Its a Heavy as Fuck album but as Sabbath Moved into the 70's and made three more solid records in a row with Paranoid, Master Of reality (My second favorite Sabbath Record) and Vol 4.. The Records Just got heavier and more interseting with each passing year.. But It would be 1975 when Sabbath would create what i call the mother of all 70's Metal Record's.. Sabotage !!
This record Drops a Hit of acid from the Beginning and than Takes you to the edge of Death Like a Lethal Dose Of China White Than Hits you with a shot of Narcan but before you can gain control it Brings you back up again. It Takes Off Like a Rocket Flying Higher and Higher and than Levels out with acoustics and sweet melodies but it doesnt stop there It Builds again taking your head even Higher than it did before and than drops you straight to earth with realities of going insane only to gently pull you up again and as soon as you trust the calm it drops you on your head again .. It truly Takes the listener on a Journey that you will want to take over and over again.. The Writ, Hole In the Sky, Symptom of the Universe, Megelomania, Am I going Insane, and my copy from Nems on Vinyl even has the rare song Blow on a Jug at the end of side 2 that i always thought was a Nems mistake. Sabbath was a machine at this time in thier career Geezers song writing and Bass Playing was top Knotch . The use of different sounds not used before Like Chimes and Horns and even what sounds like an evil Church choir.. Ozzy Reaches Beautiful strong Notes that ive never heard on any other Sabbath record.. His voice is filled with such emotion and despair that at times it sounds as though he might be on the verge of either insanity or suicide. Its Just Amazing what They did as a team on this record. Its ashame that they just could never out do this Record i always thought that was sad..But They Broke the mold they made thier masterpiece.. all the records before this slowly get better but all the records after it get worse..
i can remember standing in my mirror pretending to be the frontman for this amazing band.. Fuck I Love Black sabbath!! and i Love this record.. Sabbath is just a part of who i am today and as a Kid I looked to Geezers words for guidence in life. The Black Sabbath Library was my Bible growing up and I guess i turned out ok ?? Well maybe not But cheers to the Best Black Sabbath record of all time Sabotage. It still Crushes anything the kids are calling heavy today.. Just Take a Listen.. http://youtu.be/CBAbsRvVM70
