  Sabotage (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabotage is a 1975 album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
In regard to sound, Sabotage is the natural progression in a trend that began with the previous album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
As a result, the sound of the album is much more ominous than previous releases, the costly production infusing it with all the drama and dark mythology which the band had cultivated as part of its image.

 FLUXEUROPA: SABOTAGE
The Front-242 connection will be continued with the production of their forthcoming album, Sexploitation Cinema, which is due to be released in August 1996.
Most of the music on this album is very heavily dominated by an ultra-busy drum machine.
In the heterogeneous mix of the gothic-industrial and related scene, Sabotage are destined to carve out a niche.

Despite this, some Black Sabbath fans often cite Sabotage as the beginning of Sabbath's decline, with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as their peak.
In regard to sound, it is a significant departure from the crunching, crushingly heavy, guitar-driven sound of the previous albums - although some critics pointed to this trend beginning with the previous album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
The sound of the album is also much 'brighter' and even uplifting than all the previous releases.

The reasons are that first, their albums are quite easy to assimilate, be they great or crappy; and second, I doubt whether it's more difficult to get a complete discography of any other band than the one of Sabbath in Russia.
Note that, although there are several Satanic references in the lyrics, and although both the album cover and the album title are their most gory and filthy to date, the overall tone of the album is far lighter and gentler than anything you had before.
But in general, the album is still a relative disappointment: it's not that it sounds different or bad, it just sounds as if the Sabbathers have reached their peak and just can't go any further.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Sabotage - Black Sabbath at Epinions.com
Most consider this album to be their best all around release while a vocal minority consider Paranoid or Master of Reality to be their best.
If you ask me, I would not consider Sabotage to their best, that prize would have to go to Master of Reality, but it is certainly Sabbath's last "great" album.
Probably the only reason this album is not their best is because of the duds I mentioned in my review.

 RedSabbath Reviews: Black Sabbath's Sabotage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Sabotage is actually a lot rougher in recording and performance than Bloody, and showcases just how diverse Sabbath actually was, comapred to the subtleness of its previous record.
Starting with a tune-up plus yell from Ozzy, this is one of the most energetic songs in their catalogue, plus it showcases that after six years of recording and touring together, Ozzy still had it (be it, this Sabbath album might of been the last for Ozzy's vocals at such a peak).
Where previous albums tended to be one way or another (Paranoid seems more on the heavy side, while Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on the mellower), Sabatoge fits perfectly in the middle.

The content of the songs (both originals and cover versions) from both albums marked the band as influenced by the occult and fl magic.
The next album, Sabotage, was not released until 1975 and its follow-up, Technical Ecstasy (1976) would be the last Ozzy-Era album in the heavy Sabbath style.
In 1978 the band released Never Say Die and rumours that Osbourne was to leave the band were proved true in 1979 (Osbourne formed Blizzard of Ozz, swiftly renamed to Ozzy Osbourne Band).

 -- The Osbourne's FAQ --   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Osbourne heard the album he asked John, "Are you sure you were just drinking alcohol?, this isn't music, this is weird." The first song began with a church bell tolling and the sound of rain falling in the background, and was eerie to say the least.
The album title again was a bit eerie and the cover showed an Osbourne sitting in a chair with two girls (looking possessed) and one screaming at him.
The album cover shows Ozzy sitting in a chair, or throne, with his mouth open and drooling what is supposed to be blood (but looks more like strawberry jam).

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.
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).

 Sabotage by Black Sabbath Cassette Tape
That said, SABOTAGE was the last Sabbath album to truly contain all of the components that made the quartet one the most popular heavy metal bands of all-time, before it pursued less focused musical detours.
Other standouts include the crushing album opener, "Hole in the Sky," as well as the ultra-stimulated rager "Symptom of the Universe," which would be used later as an opener for Ozzy Osbourne's 1982 solo live album of Sabbath nuggets, SPEAK OF THE DEVIL.
Sabotage is an uneven affair but it is the last Sabbath album to hold essential tunes.

 Daily Vault - December 23, 1997
The album starts off heavy enough with "Hole In The Sky," featuring Osbourne's traditional banshee wailing and some killer guitar riffs from Tony Iommi - his rhythm playing just continued to get better and better as the band matured.
Obviously tensions were beginning to run high in the band; Osbourne would make his first exit after the band's next album, the start of numerous lineup changes for the band.
But Sabotage, while definitely not Sabbath's worst work, is also not their best.

I finally purchased Sabotage, the last album to fill my hole in the Ozzy era Sabbath and the last good album that they put out with Osbourne at the helm.
Sabotage kicks off with some typical Sabbath fare with "Hole In The Sky" then has a classical guitar break with "Don't Start (Too Late)" mixing things up slightly.
Some forget about this album but I think there is enough material here to warrant it in any rock collection.

Although the name is sort of ironic, to be honest, I still feel that the album did indeed feel like a closer to Ozzy, and an opener to the dark ages of Sabbath (I really don't acknowledge the "AO" era of Sabbath).
All the Ozzy albums are required listening in my opinion...but again I'd say it's a toss up between the first two.
Yet, what I missed in those albums was a sense of the strength and power of Sabbath.

I was listeing to the "18" album for a song like Bodyrock or SouthSide on his previous album (both songs that I really enjoy) and I never found one.
The big album buyers are young people and others with energy that need upbeat songs now and then, and I think Moby forgot about that and focused on his dreary existence.

Regular visitors to the Sabbath CD bin know that the recordings on disc one, taken from a pair of European concerts in 1973, have been available for years as the unauthorized "Live At Last", which was released without the band's consent.
The embryonic version of "Hand Of Doom", from the Paranoid album, is entertaining, but the sound is almost as bad as on the previous disc, and on top of that, Ozzy seems to be making up the lyrics as he goes along!
Not that the other tunes on this album aren't good, or shouldn't have been released, but by including the Sabotage material the band has let the fl cat out of the bag, and now we know they're holding out on us.

 Best metal album - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
I think Metallica's strongest period was the early stuff leading up to the Black album which is a goddamn classic, but every Metallica album has been worthy of repeated listenings and I can't wait to hear what their first studio album with Robert Trujillo will sound like.
St. Anger is a terrible patchwork of an album, the title track embodying that framework the most.
In consolation, the Black album was an interesting and pretty listenable effort considering that they spent most of their time simplifying (and popifying, if I can use that as a word) their song structure to the Nth degree.

Sure it was overplayed in the 80's, but if you just listen to it, without all of the baggage from the time it was recorded and played (to death) it is really a great album.
Two jackbooted thugs from Rolling Stone put me in cuffs and dragged me to their offices and put me in a cell where I was forced to listen to this album and all the Beasties records for two weeks straight.
But that reading of the album's history gives a short shrift to the Beastie Boys; producer Rick Rubin and his label, Def Jam; and this remarkable record, since mixing metal and hip-hop isn't necessarily an easy thing to do.
