Ok Paranoid yet again wins, after holding off a very strong challenge from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by 8>6. It now comes up against the DARK JEWEL in the Sabbath crown and this will be the final battle of this war. How will Paranoid Black Sabbath's definitive album, fare against Master of Reality Black Sabbath's most revered album. Place your vote, as these votes will decide Music Banter's greatest ever Black Sabbath album.

Master of Reality is more consistent as a whole album. It just works perfectly. But "After Forever" and "Lord of This World" have preachy lyrics that kinda bug me. Especially "After Forever"...
"Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say If they knew you believe in God above? They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to love Is your mind so small that you have to fall In with the pack wherever they run Will you still sneer when death is near And say they may as well worship the sun?" Really Ozzy? Christians are the persecuted minority and those bastard atheists are judging you and making your life difficult? Gimme a ****ing break. Musically they're awesome, but they still bug me. So I've gotta go with Paranoid. Paranoid - 1 Master of Reality - 1

Master - 2
Paranoid - 1 Master is my favorite Sabbath album, it was the full tilt birth of Doom Metal, While Paranoid hinted at it, Master perfected it. Sure, those lyrics are kinda lame.... but the album features "Children of the Grave" and my all-time favorite Sabbath song "Into the Void", both of which are amazing and surpass Paranoid. Have to go with Master here.

yet another difficult choice - no naff tracks on Master of Reality, i'd like to think those lyrics the Bat-Mite mentioned are just Ozzy goofing around
but then again, the highlights on Paranoid are infallible Master - 2 Paranoid - 2 |

Since Ozzy is a devout Christian, I doubt it.
