Full review
Vol 4 proved to be Sabbath’s first steps away from their normal sound, and the beginning of their experimenting. It is very much a mixed bag, but almost all the songs are good. The opener, Wheels of Confusion, is truly an epic song, it changes several times throughout, and is musically stunning. Tomorrow Dream is also superb. Next up is Sabbath’s first shocker, an almost ballad, which consists of piano (by Iommi) and Ozzy’s softest vocals yet (although there is still an underlying eeriness surrounding the song). FX is a strange and pointless musical interlude, which was best left out, and is really just a filler, but after that comes the gargantuan rifferama of Supernaut, with some truly amazing drumming by Mr Ward. Snowblind, the tell-tale Coke anthem is next up, underlining the bands apparent drug addiction at that time, and also managing to be the best track on the album. There is a relaxing (and musically impressive) interlude in the form of Laguna Sunrise, while the rockier Corncupia, Under The Sun and St Vitus Dance. All in all, a good solid album, and yet another worthy purchase by the masters of metal.
