Its better than Vol. 4 agreed, but theres just something about this that draws me to it more than Sabotage.

Album Rating: 4.0

a wise man once said Sabotage has the 'best 3 in a row' of any Sabbath record - which compromises about half the record as well



quite a statement

Album Rating: 4.5

The best 3 in a row doesnt necessarily mean I think those songs are better than everything on here. And thinking

about it now, Iron Man/Electric Funeral/Hand of Doom gives it a run for its money.

Album Rating: 4.0

those 3 are better than everything on here though

T/t >

Album Rating: 4.0

Negative



the problem with the t/t is that the whole is NOT greater than the sum of its parts. don't care for ozzy's vocals either as they are at their whiniest and he strains way too much.

Album Rating: 4.5

I dont have any problems with it. Its a top 5 Sabbath song for me and one of Tony's best riffs.

Album Rating: 4.0

Fluff is better than St. Vitus Dance and Cornucopia [2 times a bajllion]

Album Rating: 4.0

Fluff lol

Album Rating: 4.5

Whats bad about it ?

Album Rating: 4.0

i like my Sabbath with Ozzy and Ward you know

Album Rating: 4.5

Laguna Sunrise and Changes are "barely" Sabbath songs.

Album Rating: 4.0

agreed, im not sitting here and saying those songs are better than half of other sabbath records

Album Rating: 4.5

Neither am I ;)

Album Rating: 4.0

your damn close to saying it is

Album Rating: 4.5

FX isnt really a song though, so I'm only saying Fluff its better than 3/9 from Vol. 4.

Album Rating: 4.0

im with titan here, fluff is all right but how can it beat cornucopia and st vitus??



also, this is probably the weakest album out of the first 6, and less consistent too (vol. 4 kinda suffers from inconsistency too)

Album Rating: 4.5

Fluff is an awesome laid-back acoustic song that shows Sabbath at their most experimental. Its definitely their best instrumental, while St. Vitus Dance is just a short rocker. Its got a nice riff but not exactly a standout. For what it is Fluff is better.



As for consistency, I think this is very consistent since the best tracks are spread out pretty evenly. The first half is probably slightly better than the second though.

Album Rating: 4.0

i dont find it that consistent, t/t, spiral and killing are better than the rest, which are good songs, but not the monumental stuff sabbath had me used to



sabotage beats this in almost everything imo

Album Rating: 4.5

I find the experimentation mixed with the typical heavy Sabbath sound to be at its best on here. Theres a certain aura about this album.
