Anyone else think Sabotage isn't that good of an album? It's not bad, but it's definitley not good. It sounds like Sabbath was just phoning it in. The first section of Megalomania takes it tune directly from parts of Snowblind. It's my least favorite Black Sabbath album, that I've heard. I haven't listened to all of them yet, though, so this could change. Hole in the Sky, Symptom of the Universe, are just forgetable filler songs. Don't Start is pretty good for a 1 minute accoustic solo. Megalomania is boring, too long, and as I mentioned, takes it's begining tune from Snowblind. The Thrill of it All is pretty forgetable, as well. Supertzar's okay. I like the choir in the background. Gives the song a cool ominous feel to it. Am I Going Insane just feels like a radio-friendly versian of Paranoid. Like, it's the same subject matter, but done with synths and with redone lyrics to make it more upbeat. It's not like they even hide it, either. The alternate title of the song is just Radio, because it was meant to be played on the radio. The Writ starts out pretty good. I like the bassline and Ozzy seems like he's actually trying, unlike the rest of the album. However, at around 5:30, it switches to a new tune and it turns to shit. If they kept this a 5 minute song instead of an 8 minute medly, this would've been much better, and a good way to end the album, but they just had to tac on that second part. One major problem with the whole album is they rely too much on medlies. If the song isn't a medly, it's either filler or just incredibly short and with no vocals. This would be fine if the medlies were good, but they're not. They had too many ideas for songs, so they stitched them together so they could fit the album, instead of just picking the good ones. Another problem was Ozzy's lack of trying. He clearly didn't want to be there recording the album and it shows.
