Black Sabbath - "Symptom Of the Universe"

This is one of my favourite Sabbath songs ever! Ward sounds as if he's about to destroy his drum kit, Ozzy sounds incredibly pissed off and superb riffage throughout. Sabotage remains an underrated piece of work, but some days it's my favourite Sabbath LP.

Great song, though for a while I was irritated by the end where it gets all groovy/hippified.
― Ian John50n (orion)

OMFG I love this part! I used to play bass many incarnations ago and I always got frustrated when covering this in one of the bands I played with, because we never played the acoustic hippie funk coda. Balearic Sabbath is great and I wont hear otherwise.

all my Black Sabbath remasters

o this has been? my copy sounds like shit compared to the others

Ditto Moka
And that “day in the life” style transition from heavy to groovy

Mellow Sabbath is some of the best Sabbath
There are worse ways to pass the late afternoon than to put “solitude” on repeat

Oh that’s right it’s January!

YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

That was actually quite informative about the band's management troubles, and explaining the cover. I don't hear any Mellotron on "Supertzar", though, just on "Megalomania".

Nice to see you Ned!

Yeah the manager stuff was mad interesting
Made me appreciate the wrath of the writ that much more

that was cool - ditto on the management stuff and "the writ"

Always great to hear north americans attempt to deploy (and explain) British slang.

Imagine putting on side b and hearing the thrill of it all for the first time

the way I feel is the way I am

what a killer record this is

every time i think it can't get any better, some new idea comes along and blows me away. it's somehow kaleidoscopic without being eclectic, deeply heavy without being plodding, manages to maintain peaks of airiness and psychedelic mysticism without losing the plot. just an amazing record.
