About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

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, ultra-heavy riffs, as evidenced by the raucous album opener, "Hole in the Sky," as well as the drug-induced 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, synth-laced "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 Guide

April 21, 2009: This album is awesome definatly on of Sabbath's best albums especially the songs Hole in the Sky, Symptom of the Univers, and Megalomania. I was also reading a couple of reviews for this album and one guy said that this album isn't for kids because it's too angry well I just wanted to say I think thats kinda messed up dude.

This review was written about the CD edition.

I Also Recommend: Black Sabbath.

May 06, 2008: I get a kick out of the reviewers and their rating of this album making references to their drug use and constant touring as if it negatively effected the quality of this album. I'm a sabbath follower from the original days and used to follow them around the country and can tell you that this is one (if not the best) of their albums.
