The Cardigans guitarist is a huge metal fan, but also a trained jazz arranger. He likes to do these Sabbath covers as a way to mix two of his greatest loves.
Personally I think Sabbath is boring as all hell. I appreciate their importance as an influential band, but I can't stand to listen to them. The Cardigans are probably my only access to old Sabbath. So I think they deserve a little credit for exposing people to Sabbath who might otherwise never have been interested.
