Definitely better than
Paranoid, which I always thought was good but overrated anyway, has less downtime between tracks than
Master of Reality, and while the debut has hands down my favorite run of songs from the band ("Black Sabbath" through "NIB"), the second half is borderline crap. Honestly haven't listened to
Vol. 4 and
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath enough to make intelligent comparisons, but
Sabotage is definitely competitive. And while
Heaven and Hell has a brilliant A-side, I think the last half is good, but still a step down in quality.
Not saying that
Sabotage is necessarily better than those albums -- except for
Paranoid -- but I still think it's highly underrated.
