Black Sabbath- "Symptom of the Universe" Reaction // Amber and Charisse React

[@mikeg.4211]

Great job! Iommi is a creative genius. This was 1975! People were starting to do disco, and this guy got out of bed and said, “I’ll invent thrash today and mix it with some island music because that would be interesting.” And then he pulled it off. 🤟

Probably one of the greatest metal (or whatever) songs ever written.

[@mikeg.4211]

Yep.

It occurs to me that a lot of people often fail to take into account the historical context of a lot of Black Sabbath and what the band (and Iommi in particular) meant to the development of modern music. To this day, most heavy music is based in what he and this band created. James Hetfield of Metallic has said that a lot of his inspiration as a kid was listening to his older brother's Black Sabbath vinyls growing up. Pretty much anything heavy that exists today and since 1970 has some of Black Sabbath and Tony Iommi in it. It has been (correctly) said and agreed to by a lot of musicians that much of what they are writing and playing are based on Iommi's riffs and ideas. Even the whole "demonic" and dark aspect of heavy music is entirely founded on his riffs and certainly Geezer Butler's lyrics. So I suggest that any Black Sabbath (and Heaven and Hell, which was black Sabbath with Dio singing) song should be listened to with that in the back of the listener's mind. Even the firing of Ozzy and the hiring of Dio was genius, and moved the genre(s) that he created forward.

One of the best songs on Sabotage, but for me Ozzy's piercing vocals are way too high in the mix, both on the original & the 2021 remaster. For me, they also dragged this song a bit too long with the spontaneous in-studio jam after the last verse, which is why I'm just at 8.25.

Where was the reggae

No sabbath no mettalica

[@bazkeen]

Good but not one of my favourite albums. Didn't hit me like their previous albums. Still good songs on it though. I'll go an 8.5. The first couple of albums were a 9.0 for me

Millions don't agree with you
