invisible airwave Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Rhino and Warner need to put the deluxe Paranoid and MOR on streaming. Thankfully, the deluxe of Vol. 4 was released on streaming a week after it came out on vinyl and CD. Paranoid and MOR deluxe are on archive.org, though.

JohnRogers Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 mehDude, I somehow knew you were gonna say that. But I'll give you a pass because of that Aspen Super Coupe in your sig. This time. Sabotage is on my short list of top all time albums. They successfully pulled off an almost prog album while retaining their nuclear level heavy riffs.Hmmm, your knowledge of and admiration for the Super Coupe clearly indicates you're a man of exceptional taste. I should have been more measured in my criticism. Your username tells me you're fan. One of my dearest friends, Jimmy Blanke is a fan. He doesn't know of my dissing Ozzy. Your description of Sabotage intrigues me. I will in the next coming days give the album a re-listen with an open mind. "Almost prog" with nuclear level heavy riffs might be just the kind of thing to remind me I'm alive. If you don't realize you're alive after listening to Hole in the Sky, you're probably not. Keith Emerson is on the previous album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. That's got some mid-70s prog vibe as well. I personally doubt your synth-era loving ears are going to be able to process this stuff, but I admire your trying.I don't know that Hole in the Sky put a thrill up my leg. I did catch myself toe-tapping with ever so slight head-banging to Symptom of the Universe. Next track soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So I am at the end listening to The Writ. Two thoughts, I think the album warrants another listen soon and for example on The Writ the vocal qualities that seem to bug me from Osbourne aren't as pronounced or there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's kind of one of those like him or totally not like him kinda deals. But, yeah... Sabotage is not so pure in its heaviness like earlier albums, but it is a cohesive album. Pretty good considering what the band was going through at the time. Bad management, drug problem becoming apparent, etc. Ozzy actually sounds pissed off here. I probably listened to this album every day in my 20's. It became my gold standard for albums. Among all the cars I've had (and several Mopars) I had an Aspen for a little while. It was a Premier with T-tops and leather seats. 318 and Magnum 500 wheels. Too bad it was pretty beat when I got it. Only paid $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 My fave Black Sabbath record my guess is the live material is from the New Jersey show, can anyone confirm? I haven't bitten on any of these deluxe Sabbath set, not enough unreleased material and somehow I just don't want to run the risk that Sharon gets a nickel from me, so I'll just say I don't see Blow On A Jug listed. No Jug - No Sale! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Nosing around on the interwebs I see that the Sabotage SDE seems to have disappointed many fans. The studio album does not seem to be an improvement over what was previously available and the live material apparently is mp3 sourced!! Reading the Steve Hoffman forum, I'm glad I didn't bite on any of these Sabbath Anniversary editions https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/black-sabbath-sabotage-2021-digital.1085853/page-2#post-27087904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 To me, these reissues with bonus material are not necessary. The first few Sabbath albums are absolutely flawless as they are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
