"E5150" is an instrumental bridge track between "The Sign of the Southern Cross" and "The Mob Rules". It's pretty unremarkable. Black Sabbath wasn't beyond this sort of thing as during the Ozzy era it padded quite a few albums with questionable instrumentals. "FX" anyone? "E5150" doesn't seem as shameless as it at least seems to serve a purpose.
There are guitars and voices at parts, but the bulk of the song is dedicated to a repeated bass figure. And while it's kind of neat it's far away from being something that I'd actively look to listen to,
My research indicated that "E5150" replaced the long used "Supertzar" as a concert opener during the Mob Rules tour along with subsequent Dio fronted Sabbath shows. I also learned that the letters help to spell out "EVIL" using Roman Numerals.
Tomorrow "The Mob Rules"!
