Black Sabbath Volume 4 CD

List All Reviews

 Vol 4 is Sabbath at its Peak
This album was the high-water mark of Sabbath's creative energy within the early metal art form. The sound is rich, the melodies appealling, and the timing tight. "Wheels of Confusion" stands out as something classic; its haunting, often glorious melody will command your attention and sieze your mind's eye. It should be regarded as their finest work.

 THE BEST!!!!
First of all, "Paranoid" is great, and so are a handful of others, which I know I don't have to name because all the great fans already know!!! But my favorite of all is "Volume 4". The rock is very heavy and fantastic, and the acoustical numbers are great!!!! I would give the first 6 of their albums 5-STARS, but if I have to pick an abolute best -- then my vote goes to "Volume 4"!!!!

 Strong!
Black Sabbath, with their first five albums-- BLACK SABBATH through SABOTAGE-- made a steady progression, in terms of maturity and complexity. Each album was even better than it's predocessor. There's a lot of good stuff on VOLUME 4, with the exception of "FX," which I thought was a bit dissonant and pretty boring, actually. I'd have to say the highlite, on VOL.4 would be "Supernaut." All the rest of the tracks are strong,I thought, though some are better than others.

Over tha course of Black Sabbath's first five albums (BLACK SABBATH 1ST L.P., through SABATOGE), there was a steady progression, in terms of maturity and complexity. That is to say, with every album, they would set a standard of excellence -- a benchmark, if you will and with every new album, they would top their own standard. That being said, there is a lot of good stuff on BLACK SAB' VOL.4., with the exception of "F X," which I thought to be rather dissonant and quite boring, really. Highlites: "Supernaut," "Snowblind" and perhaps, "Laguna Sunrise." It is a good album to collect. It has my endorsement, for whatever that might be worth.
