It runs 3 minutes and is all minor-keys and creepy Exorcist-like choirs. “Supertzar” is a wonderfully creepy instrumental. “Thrill of it All” is a pretty good rocker, which after a pretty simple opening morphs into a slow, surprisingly keyboard-fueled insanely catchy coda. And the humorous point where the music pauses and Ozzy shouts “Suck me!” And, like their prog rock forebears, this song segues into another rhythm altogether when we get the wonderfully fast rock segment. They definitely had fun with the effects (echoing vocals, etc.) on this one. It also has a great bridge (“Why doesn’t everybody leave me alone?”). Unlike the psychedelic tracks from the previous records, this one moves along with a solid back beat. “Symptom of the Universe” is another classic Sabbath track, a blistering heavy fast riff with the wonderful Ozzy-screamed: “Yeaaaaaahs!” It then surprises you by going into an extended acoustic guitar workout for a minute and a half at the end. But this one is different, for it has some really wild and unpredictable aspects to it. “Don’t Start (Too Late)” is the by now obligatory acoustic guitar piece. “Hole in the Sky” is a sort of spastic rocker with Ozzy screaming vocals over the top of the rocking track. Sabotage seems to be somewhat forgotten (maybe because of the creepy cover art 0f Ozzy in a kimono and fascinating platform shoes, Bill Ward in red tights with a codpiece (and visible underwear on the back cover), and Geezer and Tony’s mustaches).īut this album rocks pretty hard and heavy. SOUNDTRACK: BLACK SABBATH-Sabotage (1975).
