"They have my favorite Sabbath artworks though"

i'd have to say Sabotage holds that spot for me by quite a margin

What can I say, I love Hipgnosis style. There's a reason why they were the most respected artwork studio

i don't know who designed the Sabotage cover, but I get tripped out looking at it & find the combination of colors/thatlogo/the imagery aesthetically pleasing - tbh it's not like most of their other covers are much to write home about even if some are iconic

Hipgnosis did those covers ? I didn't know that. I too love their style but i don't think they could envision what sabbath is all about.

People always forget Master of Reality's. I love that one as well. You start with distorted purple characters that then turn gray into a more formal font as you get into "reality"

Surely you will not overanalyze the picture, but hell, an album artwork can foreshadow a lot of what is going on in the said record.

I don't. It's my 3rd favorite sabbath artwork after their debut and H&H.

Ozzy's clothes on the cover are even more amusing

there was a story in the liner notes of the reissue that they didn't talk to each other about what they were wearing ahead of time, & all came in with off-the-wall outfits, really if it was on almost any other background it woulda probably been tacky or something but as is it's such a great image
