The first 20 seconds of Wheels of Confusion / The Straightener

[NAD]

The musical equivalent to great bubble art. That is all.

 

[Papa Josh]

Also the first 20 seconds of one of the greatest metal masterpieces EVAR, the mighty Volume 4.

 

[Demonspell]

Odd thread, but it's definitely one of Sabbath's most underrated songs (tied with Snowblind for best on Vol.4)...love that ending section.

 

[NAD]

No. This thread shall not go ignored. These are 20 of the greatest seconds in music history. Agree or face the consequences.

one of my Sab faves

Sabbath rules all. Volume 4, along with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, are criminally overlooked albums.

 

[NAD]

Those are the best two Sabbath albums, easily.

 

[matt99_crew]

Actually, I'm partial to Master of Reality and Sabotage, but you can't really go wrong w/ the early stuff.

 

[JayKeeley]

Volume 4, along with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, are criminally overlooked albums.

How are they "criminally overlooked"??? I thought it was just a given rule that they were hailed classics by everyone, even the mainstream press.

 

[matt99_crew]

They don't get much mention compared to the other early albums, and you don't hear as much of their songs on radio, etc. Overlooked compared to their other early stuff is what I meant. Its all relative of course.

 

[NAD]

I generally hear of Master of Reality and Paranoid as their true classics, the others of the Sacred Sabbath Six not so much.

*thread idea*

 

[matt99_crew]

Alright, alright. Maybe criminally overlooked is a bit harsh. But I definitely think they are underappreciated. I think they are on par with the rest of the first 6, but get less attention. Most of the attention seems to be focused on the first 3.

The only Sab songs I hear on the radio are Iron Man, Paranoid, and NIB.
