BLACK SABBATH - SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH
YOU'VE SEEN RIGHT THROUGH DISTORTED EYES.
YOU'VE SEEN RIGHT THROUGH DISTORTED EYES.
Sabbath's fifth studio album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath built on Vol 4's more musical approach and you can see that the band has developed as songwriters in just a short amount of time. On Sabbath Bloody Sabbath the band took a turn towards a more progressive style with more complex song structures, odd time signatures and longer songs.
It wasn't a complete remake of the old Sabbath sound but it was an updated version of it. One of the best riffs that Tony Iommi ever created is in my opinion that opening riff of A National Acrobat, it's just so damn cool. Love it. The same goes for the riff of Sabbra Cadabra, maybe not as great but still very good. The title track Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is also worth mentioning, It's such a great track.
I really love this record and it was one of the first Sabbath records I bought a very long time ago. It feels like I'm being a bit too generous to Sabbath but I just can't do anything but give this album another five axes out of five. If you're making a top 10 or top 20 list of the best albums of the 70's this album should be on it so that's why I give it 5 out of 5.
