Default Black Sabbath - Paranoid



This is the best Black Sabbath album there is in my opinion. I bought the vinyl but left it in Davenport, Iowa by mistake. Their first album is great but the long songs on that album just should have been split up I feel. The guitar riffs on this album are classic stuff; catchy and create awesome songs. Each song is good, so the album is a non-skip album for me, which leads to me saving it on Spotify. This album was released on Warner Music Group back in 1970. It has its own sound and is sort of hypnotic. Black Sabbath’s run ended in the 1970’s I feel, with their albums just sounding bad in the 1980’s into the 1990’s. The most recent album released called ‘13’ was great though. This “Paranoid” album only has 8 songs and two are instrumentals, so the one I cut for the 7-song album is “Rat Salad”. “Politicians hide themselves away, they only started the war” from the song “War Pigs” is such a powerful lyric from the song considering the events happening when the song was released. “War Pigs” must be one of the most influential rock songs of all time. Sort of a scary realization of how things are repeating the past also here in America. It’s been 50 years since this album was released and it’s still amazing plus all the music videos they released for the singles are cool live performances.

The 7 Song Album:
  • Paranoid
  • War Pigs/Luke’s Wall
  • Iron Man
  • Electric Funeral
  • Planet Caravan
  • Hand of Doom
  • Jack the Stripper/ Fairies Wear Boots

You should check Sleep's Holy Mountain album as it's a total 70s Black Sabbath throwback.

Okay, I'll find some songs I like on Spotify off this. Sounds nice so far.

Their debut is as perfect and as beautiful as God’s vagina. It gave us life.
