Yeah, Vol4 is toast

Paranoid- 4
Vol4- 0

Paranoid - 5
Vol. 4 - 0

"FX" and "Changes" on Vol. 4 just lets Paranoid piss all over it.

In hindsight, if I was to do this battle again I'd start with the weakest albums and move through to the strongest instead of the more mixed up style I've done it in and that way slaughters would be avoided. The next person that gets to pick a battle should note the importance of album sequence. As this is the first ever battle of the new format, I'm excused;)

As much as I love Vol.4 and over the last year or so it has become my most played Sabbath album and one I really enjoy, but I have to say its not as tight as Paranoid though. I was tempted to vote for Vol.4 as it deserves something, as its a classic album and I'd say it was superior to the debut as well, which a lot on here really love. But voting for an album because you feel it deserves some kind of recognition, goes against the point of the thread, so its.

Vol.4 0

Paranoid is a lot more consistent and I think it's a better album, but Vol. 4 deserves a lot more recognition and I don't think it deserves to be grannied here. Supernaut and Snowblind are fantastic. Vol. 4 for me.

Vol. 4 - 1

You're right its a great album and now I can't decide which album I REALLY THINK IS BETTER so sod it! Its the bands most creative album, so I'm going to change my vote here.

Vol.4 - 2

Not much to say here. As stated, Supernaut and Snowblind are great tracks buts the classic status of Paranoid cannot be refuted.

vote changer!!!!

Yer its like somebody that changes sides in a war, but this time I've chosen the wrong side.

People can change their vote in any active battle.

Not that the vote matters at this point but Paranoid should get another one.
