Never in the history of metal has such a brilliant statement of intent been lain down at the very moment of a band's introduction to the world. And we've already discussed the poor album flow that messes up the first half. Great album, but its flaws affect my enjoyment of it more than the debut's. And then there's that evil atmosphere on Black Sabbath. Man, that is one awesome album.

Listen son, everything apart from the title track on Paranoid is as good as those songs and the reason why it's a better album is that there are just more classic songs
