Perfect album

its giving rockish, we love a lil guitar solo, not my taste unfortunately

such an amazing song, really gets you going. puts you in that rock mood so easily. easy 10

historic album to kick off the metal genre, still holds up and is enjoyable to listen to

Somewhat questionable cover art belies the mighty riffs held within. Personally, I’d be happy if they’d left Paranoid the song on the cutting room floor as the throwaway track that it is but that aside this is an amazing collection of varied tracks and as good as the mighty Sabbath get. Desert Island Disc for me. 5

It was cool to listen to such a classic in its entirety. I’ve heard snippets throughout the years, but it’s nice to hear them in context. That being said I don’t know if I would ever muster the internal motivation to relisten to this. It’s not exactly to my taste, though I do recognize it sounds great and has had a massive impact on culture. Iron Man basically sounds like a lullaby how recognizable the chorus is, but I would much sooner put on the Cardigan’s cover of Iron Man than the original.

Listened to. Amazing Record.

I had definitely heard this before, but I have a lot more appreciation for it now... especially since reviewing their debut album a few weeks ago. This is a huge leap forward in both production and songwriting. War Pigs is fine, but I think Paranoid is the album's best track and Planet Caravan is a welcome changeup to the sound. Iron Man is iconic, but it goes on a little too long for me. I like the sounds and progression of the next two tracks better. I understand the Led Zeppelin comparisons, but Black Sabbath is more interesting musically and Ozzy is a better singer -- or at least doesn't give in to some of the irritating tendencies Robert Plant has. I don't need the extended drum solos, but the last two tracks mostly work for me as well. It's a little awe-inspiring that all these sounds were together on one record in 1970 -- it feels like a road map to the next two decades of hard rock and metal. Black Sabbath is never going to be my preferred style, but this album feels both groundbreaking and essential. More importantly for the purposes of this project, I enjoyed it.

Loved faires wear boots, forgot about that onr

Need I say more. One of the most influential rock albums of all time. Absolutely humongous hits still relevant to this day. Absolutely amazing.

Truly brilliant. Every song is good and half are classics. Amazing that for those first five or so years they put out a flawless album less than a year apart

This has more of an edge than I expected. Great album and totally worth listening front to back.

In my recent exploration of metal music, I quickly found one of my preferred genres was doom/sludge/stoner metal. Listening to Paranoid and it’s abundantly clear how much modern metal bands owe to their forefathers. This album is easily one of the best metal albums ever recorded.

a classic

Obviously I am young and the Ozzy I know is the chaotic, burrito-obsessed MTV version. This version seems so removed from that, quite earnest and concerned with the actual world. And obvs a classic I know that I am not thaaaaaat young....

All time classic! I love this record, love early Black Sabbath. It kinda stands head and shoulders above all the other late 60s early 70s proto metal for me. I particularly like the really moody psychedelic bits like 'Planet Caravan' and 'Electric Funeral' that show the freakier side to the band and juxtapose really well with the big rock hits

Even tho ım not really into metal, this album is something really. The instrument, ozzys voice, really put me up on a mountain and pushes me down to a volcano I dont really know if that makes sense. War pigs prolly a fave.

Suco do metal clássico. Queria ter ouvido esse álbum em vinil no lançamento.

I like this much more than the Black Sabbath album.

I’m not a big metal fan (as my stats on this site prove) which is probably why I’ve never really listened to Black Sabbath. I’m starting to realise that was a mistake.

Great songs, like the earlier Deep Purple album, Paranoid pushes this one past a four for me

And the 60s turned into the 70s with Sabbath paving the way.

Pretty good. Lot of metal and stuff ig.

fave: War Pigs

Great second album from the brummie boys

Tiene muy buenas canciones pero es corto y la mitad son solo instrumental

Brilliant. Massive hits and a whole new genre. You can hear all sorts of future bands in here.

The first five Sabbath albums are undeniable, and this one is up top I reckon. It's actually hard to believe this was released all the way back in 1970 - the riffs, guitar tone, bass playing, groove, and Ozzy's (sorry, Geezer's) lyrics set up a million rock, stoner and metal bands to follow in the decades to come, none of who came close to this.

I liked this a lot more than I expected to. I thought it would be super screamy and over the top. But it was really good.

was familiar with a lot of their music already.

War pigs was really really good. I honestly wouldn't listen to the rest of the album but in general it was nice that it wasn't too intense and that it had a stable message and vibe throughout.

À part la pochette d'album tout est parfait.

Notables: - War Pigs - Electric Funeral - Rat Salad

Defined sound and style of heavy metal War pigs Paranoid Iron man

Top nerd rock album

So perfect I could cry. I think Black Sabbath might be one of my favorite bands. Just brutal, smart, bloodthirsty music that's always memorable and never predictable. Every single one of these fellas is perfect for the genre, which comes as no surprise because they fucking invented it. Flawless, top to bottom. Actually flawless.

Sounds like an album I know my mum enjoys listening too… don’t really think it’s my favourite or taste I can’t lie!

Очередной топ-альбом. 5 баллов

Everything I love about heavy music has roots here. Elder, All Them Witches, King Buffalo, Bongripper, the whole lineage — trace it back far enough and you arrive at four working class kids from Birmingham in 1970 playing riffs so heavy they invented a genre by accident. Paranoid doesn't need me to explain it. "War Pigs", "Iron Man", "Paranoid" — landmarks. But then there's "Planet Caravan": calm, psychedelic, floating. They could do that too. The range is part of what makes it matter. Maybe I need convincing. But they deliver easily. 5/5 — where it all began.

I love how guitar, bass, drums and voice all sound awesome in their own rights, and then together they meld to an even better sounding big picture. The A-side is impeccable - proto Stoner/Doom perfection. Unfortunately, the B-side is just a similar but much weaker version of that. All in all, it's excellent, but not among my very favorites. 4/5

legend. long live ozzy

great album not my genre

Changed music undeniably, probably sounded like evil music to the people of the time, every track is written masterfully and complimented by the gritty vocals,

tremendisimo, bangers todo

Really enjoyed this! Classic rock and songs you can help but give a little head bang to. Would definitely listen again

Surprising nuance for such a hard album

a very cool and heavy album. planet caravan is so underrated. metal music is always best when done by a bunch of stoned nerds

War Pigs and Paranoid were exactly what I needed to hear for my mental state. Whenever I think of Black Sabbath I think of a metal band and I don't like metal. I have to give this album a five even though it is far outside my style or favored genre. Iron Man!? Pure talent. Amazing!

this is maybe 2nd or 3rd listen and it obviously rocks. the way it morphs from rpunch riff to punchy riff expanding and falling. it's gud

Cortito y al pie

war pigs and iron man are fireeee. amazing album

What a good day :)

It is a classic but not my style so this rating is probably a bit low.

What an album. Had heard 3 of the songs before (the obvious ones) but I was stunned by the ones I had not heard before, such as “Planet Caravan” and its softness. “Hand of Doom” just wow I think if I listened to this in 1970 I’d have levitated

Not my style but go off I guess

War pigs, paranoid, and iron man alone set the ceiling pretty high on this one. Great album front to back. Favorite song: hand of doom

Absolute ripper of an album. War Pigs into Paranoid might be one of the best album intros of all time.

great album

actually quite good, not your ‘average’ metal album

I’m surprised by how smooth the whole affair is compared to other metal albums to come down the road this one plays great

Great metal album, such iconic riffs vocals and songs. Liked it. 1. Paranoid 2. Iron Man 3. War Pigs

really fun ! the first two songs were so good !

Pretty standard noises

Love, respect and ideal entry. But the usual 70s long instrumentals. But my god the lyrics.

Every track feels like a minute too long, but it’s still fun! Favourite track: Hand of Doom

the best emtal album oat

Solid classic album, War Pigs, Iron Man and of course Paranoid makes for a jam packed listen. Planet Caravan was an unexpected surprise psychedelic track.

Perhaps the most monumental and revered album in metal history for a reason. 8/10

Classic record. Classic for rock, classic for metal, classic for Sabbath. Indisputaby so.

Not my vibe but I understand its importance and respect it

Don’t know that I love anything individually enough to go 5 but mostly all bangers, no bad song here. Electric Funeral top discovery

My tail is between my legs after hearing this album. I’ve always crapped on Black Sabbath, maybe because I thought the Osbournes TV show was such garbage, that I mentally wrote off his band entirely? I was genuinely impressed at this album. Many recognizable songs and they’re such good quality - War Pigs, Iron Man, Paranoid. Better late getting onto the crazy Sabbath train than never.

Never actually listened to this. I’ve heard the singles, of course. Really fun album. It’s kind of interesting to realize this was controversial in its day.

Love it!

Five stars. No notes.

An absolute ripper. Riff heaven. Some of the classics here suffer a bit from Zeppelin IV/Dark Side-style overexposure, but the one that feels fresh and wild and as relevant as the day it was born is War Pigs, which somehow makes rhyming 'masses' with 'masses' sound like poetry. Probably not my favourite Sabbath record to listen to now because I've heard some tracks literally thousands of times in my life, but easily the one that has the catchiest riffs and is most recognisable. An all-time great.

Ozzy’s bone chilling vocals and Iomi’s guitar playing creates a dark and dismal atmosphere that’s also filled with memorable and catchy riffs. This is definitely a must listen for anyone who enjoys metal and intuitive songwriting. There are so many hits on here from the band’s discography. Overall Score: decent 8

I don't know, man, maybe my mother was right and these guys really *did* make evil seem cool. The contemporaneous reviews all dismissed this as basically inferior to the more technically inclined rock that was in fashion at the time; by comparison, Ozzy & co. were slower, dumber, more literal. But that's where this album's undeniable power comes from - the fact that you *feel* every note, because you get the chance to. And the lyrics are smarter than you remember, notwithstanding the rhyming of "masses" with "Masses" on "War Pigs"; the title track is casually harrowing, while "Hand of Doom" is even scarier, making heroin use sound like the end of the world. Thing is, it simultaneously makes the end of the world sound totally fucking awesome. Same with "War Pigs," a nominally antiwar song that makes you want to kick everyone's ass (or at least lift a bunch of heavy weight). Likewise, "Fairies Wear Boots," a description of a bad trip that sounds like a good trip. The result is a masterpiece of deniability: "no, Mom, they're *against* that stuff," you can say, while throwing up devil horns when she turns her back. On behalf of sheltered kids everywhere: Iron Man lives again.

LOVE ITTT YESS, iron man is a childhood song

i haven't listened to this in a minute, but it was a frequent teenage listening, as it was/is for many teen boys.

I really loved this. I only initially knew the hits from this album. I didn't realize how much blues rock there was, but I liked it a lot.

unmoved.

i have already listened to this album

Fave: Electric Funeral

I forgot I like classic rock. That guitar and that cutting voice. Midwestern af to me.

«Пузыри! Да ладно тебе, Шэрон! Я чертов Оззи Осборн, Принц тьмы! Зло! Зло! Что злого в куче гребаных мыльных пузырей!»

This is such a fun and enjoyable album, short and sharp, catchy and influential. At the time I bet it sounded so aggressive and heavy and now it’s far softer and poppier than where heavy music went, but you can’t deny the excellence of this album.

First half: heavy; second half - cools considerably. Still a great, it's plainly obvious on even the most cursory of listens why it launched lifelong careers.

Yeah, this is great. No doubt about it. Hadn't heard it in years but it's fantastic.

A great band, very bluesy, just not my thing

Great album! The singles are probably the weakest part. Paranoid is ok, though over played. It’s the gateway drug for spotty teenagers getting into heavy metal. And Iron Man doesn’t do much for me. Planet Caravan is the best on the album and should be the last song. It would be a great ending to an album.

I mean perfect album aint it. After hearing the first half 1,000,000 times the last half of the albums even better. I could listen to hand of doom forever. Just dirty funky little bassline. Rat salads amazing. Fairies wear boots makes ya jump up and down. Makes ya think fairies are real and that Very happy memories of sabbath at download while Ozzy was still able to perform.

Classic! Imagine hearing this in 1970 for the first time!

Prefer Master of Reality, but is still a very good album. Genre defining. Ozzy's voice on Paranoid the song has always got on my nerves. But it works better on the album alongside the heavy shit and Planet Caravan prettiness... 4.5

Easy 5 stars. But still not my favourite sabbath album. Give me vol.4

Honestly, War Pigs alone deserves all the stars in the sky.

I was SO happy to see Black Sabbath on here after Billy Joel… I just love their moody growly sound, especially Ozzy’s vocals. It’s definitely something I have to be in the mood for to fully enjoy, but it’s a great album nonetheless, especially since it’s been so influential to heavy metal as a genre.

It is so interesting to see how "heavy metal" has evolved over the years. Because when I listen to this, it doesn't sound heavy at all, but I guess that's sign of the times (and my ignorance on the genre). Regardless, I fuck with this heavy. It rocks when it needs to but then has a bluesy touch throughout. Highlights: Paranoid, Planet Caravan

Classic I didn’t like all of it but it was cool

Goes hard.

I’m sure metalhead will have more profound things to say about this than me, but I’ll add my bit. I got the first Black Sabbath album earlier in the project and thought that as enjoyable as it was, my main reaction was, “Wow, I wonder what it was like to hear this in 1970?” Its main value was creating the genre. “Paranoid” is something else entirely. Every time I hear it, I think how urgently people need to hear “War Pigs” and the way Ozzy throws the accusation of Satanism back at the warmongers who truly deserve it. They deserve it now just as much as they did then. And every moment of the rest of the album feels just as urgent. I have no doubt it deserves its place as one of the best albums of all time.

I can’t really say anything about this album that hasn’t already been said. Sabbath is a classic for a reason. Dark, brooding, heavy, it really has it all. It doesn’t aim to be thrash or speed metal but takes its time and really delves into creating an atmosphere for the listener. No notes, great songs, great album.

It's a good album for working out or road trips. I liked a lot of the songs on the album

It's a progenitor heavy metal album with some classics on it.

Again with Sabbath I have to be in the mood, I get why people love it but it’s not my go to. Drumming is great and there are some great riffs but after a strong start on the first 3 tracks for me it gets a bit repetitive and some of the songs would benefit from being a little shorter. I also always feel like Planet Caravan is an obvious album closer and whilst it’s my favourite song on the album seems miss sequenced to my ear. They are the best at what they do bombastic drums, hard riffs, they did have a great influence on generations of metal bands to come…. I’m just not a metal head so can’t rate it as high as other surely will 3.2

5 stars. Obviously.

Surprisingly enjoyable as I'm not much for harder music. Ozzy's voice is in a league of his own

La voz de Ozzy es perfectamente imperfecta. Las guitarras están buenas. No entiendo por qué Paranoid es el tema más escuchado habiendo otros mejores.

sick fucking album, gets me so hyped every time. kinda cool that they made a whole Robert Downey Jr movie based on this. Paranoid is fire and so is war pigs. goated

Such a great song to start on.

Very good rock musics. For my personal taste, some of the instrumentals go on slightly too long, but I think that's a taste thing (or lack of it) on my part rather.

Listened a little Very movie

This is the foundational album in Heavy Metal, but despite that I quite enjoyed it. There’s real force behind the sound, coming through best in perhaps Sabbath’s best known songs War Pigs, Iron Man, and the title track. It’s clear to see how it was so influential, including beyond Metal (listen to War Pigs and Arabella by Arctic Monkeys side by side). It does however suffer from the disease of rock in this period of excess, with some long solos and tracks that drag on a bit. Overall, a good listen though.

This one is a firm favourite of mine. A tour-de-force of massive guitar riffs and lyrics about death and destruction that helped create a whole new genre of music. The epic opener ‘War Pigs’ and the title track start the album on the strongest possible note before the softer, psychedelic ‘Planet Caravan’ showcases another side to the band. After that it’s more thunderous guitar riffs, and great musicianship from all members of the band throughout.

Utterly foundational to heavy metal, and still one of the genre’s best offerings, this is surely Black Sabbath’s finest album. It’s so stacked with bangers it’s almost a greatest hits album on its own. ‘War Pigs’, ‘Paranoid’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘Electric Funeral’, ‘Hand of Doom’, ‘Fairies Wear Boots’, all rank among the band’s best songs. They have range as well; the spacey/psychedelic folk-acoustic track ‘Planet Caravan’ is another standout. The only slight misstep is the drum solo vehicle ‘Rat Salad’, but it’s short and has a cool riff so I’ll allow it. Brilliant performances all round, undoubtedly worth 5 stars.

Sludgy stoner classics with surprisingly jazzy drumming

Very raw, some good riffs, very simple lyrics, cool production. Singing is better than I imagined too. I like the simplicity and I liked some of the songs. Enjoyed it!

Great instrumentals and beats overall. Iron Man is my favorite track on the album. Really cool defining sound of the early 70's.

Escucha número 823984983279 y aún tiene cosas que me sorprenden. El solo de batería de Rat Salad es increíble.

Haha… Black Sabbath on the Sabbath! Funny how this album has become commonplace in modern society. (Even my better half was enjoying it.)

Just remember everything I said about Vol. 4 and how it was a signal of regression from their masterpiece albums, and note that this is THE masterpiece album. Only the pair of Hand of Doom and Rat Salad are lacking, otherwise it's impossible to deny the rest are basically permanently imprinted onto popular culture and (besides Faeries Wear Boots, which has come to be one of my favorite tracks - unbelievable groove on that song) and deservedly so). I remember getting into a quasi argument with some dude at a furry boardgame night (ask me about it if i've not told this story) who was in some new age metal band about how Sabbath is still the heaviest. I guess he was operating from the point of view that certainly some blokes in the 70s fucking around in E standard playing blues licks could not be the heaviest instead of these gay asses playing in Drop G with double kicks and breakdowns yadda yadda yadda. He failed to consider that metal and art in general does not get better as it continues, it's merely expanded upon. And something like the genre of metal is niche enough that any expansion, especially at this point, is pale imitation of what came before it or just absurd withdrawal into the niche that means nothing to those not sucked into the cult. I think the only band who does battle with Sabbath's spot in my mind is Boris, and they're barely even metal half the time. Sabbath, and especially Paranoid, has the mark of the masterpiece - it is timeless. It is timelessly heavy, hellish, chilling, and also kinda funny.

Hell yeah. My favorite Sabbath album. Everything about it is so good. Bill Ward's drumming on this whole album is some of my favorite ever but War Pigs especially is such a perfect drum part. Linking this image of Eloy Casagrande crying meeting Bill Ward at the last Sabbath show cause its so relatable and fits perfectly with our Slipknot > Sabbath weekend. Its also basically the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel of Adam and God. 4.5 https://images.ctfassets.net/r65x6q43xsmv/52pRmo9juzId08uuUTmlYt/003688ade78f0ba54b67a45e281bd89a/Eloy.png

just incredible. what can you even say? i probably don't know enough metal to say things like this but this is the absolute pinnacle of the genre for me, which is funny, since it's like the second metal album ever recorded. thank you geezer and thank you bill ward especially

now that's more like it. 4.5-5.

Very nicely done orchestral and lush.

me gustó pero se me hizo que las canciones tenían poca letra. Es mucho más creo yo para apreciar instrumentalmente y no la lírica. Más allá de todo es distinto a lo q suelo escuchar y me gusto

One of my all-time favorite albums

*Iconic album with some absolute bangers *Can feel like a slog at times

Iconic and still sounds miles better than so many albums that have been spawned because of it. The only real negative thing I have to say is that I hate, and always have hated, the last 3 seconds of War Pigs. A weird blemish on an otherwise great album.

can't imagine just how fucking GOOD it would feel to have written these songs. did they seem like classics? did they know they were drug-inducedly riffing their way towards a new genre? fucking surely. can't imagine writing something like Iron Man and not being certain of its longevity anyway. maybe not, as confidence is not this record's lyrical forte. what's always been striking to me about this set of songs, especially placed against the genre it helped spawn, is that these aren't songs of anger, or despair, or determination - the primary register for this record, true to its title, is abject fear. fear of war, of industry, of insanity (drug-induced or homegrown), of fear itself. it's a vulnerable thing to write such muscular songs about being so scared. the thundering drums, smothering guitars all start to feel a whole lot less like weapons and more like armor. i think it helps that that music, heavy as it is, never feels like it's quite going for Evil. maybe it did in 1970, but now, it feels so close to the classic rock of the time, just played by a band with real clarity around the darkness of the blues and the hedonism of the rock n roll lifestyle. in this way, Paranoid feels as honest a followup to Robert Johnson as anyone else - apart from the large blues influence on the songs, there's a prophetic, doomsaying quality to the lyrics that assesses the difficulty of being alive in then-modernity, with personal troubles given way to the ambient hell of just being alive. anyway anyway anyway. wonderful record! works equally well as a real Issues Album and as a piece of total Halloween-schlock, as fun and as horror-movie catharsis. it's an incredibly delicate balance that Sabbath make look like the only way you could ever play this kind of music, which is why they're one of the best to do it

Legendary, classic, fantastic, overplayed, kinda underated, kinda funny in hindsight (at least compared to the debut). Side A is surely one of the best, most consistant, popular, well ordered, memorable sides of any album in history. Side B is completely overshadowed by A, but the case needs to be made for Electric Funeral, almost as good as the famous tracks; Hand of Doom is slightly repetitive, but fun; Rat Salad is in the pantheon of great drum solo songs like Toad and Moby Dick; and lastly Fairies Wear Boots is sort of an extention of Iron Man to bookend the whole album that disolves into darkness.

YUS!!!! Everything about this album rocks. The drum work on "Planet Caravan" drives through. The hits ring true, closing out with "Fairies Wear Boots". Even the lesser known tracks are awesome. How can you rate this lower than a 5? It's a crime. Greatest heavy metal foundational album ever. My Rating: 5/5

turns out ozzy osborne rocked hard. insanely stacked tracklist!!!!

Yayyy awesome

Incredible album. Every single song is a banger, hits such a particular mood and has an all together unique sound even after all this time. Played this one almost three times in a row today.

Yeah alright

sounds like classic 80s rock

Hell yeah dude \m/

Super fun and very influential

This is an album that I would have loved as a teenager. Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of owning it at the time. Call me crazy, but I never really liked Ozzy’s vocals. Now I hear what I was missing. It works well on this album, and presents early heavy metal at its finest. There’s a little bit of a psychedelic vibe here, but the real focus is the Led Zeppelinesque blues rock that defined early heavy metal. Today’s metal bears little resemblance to this, but it evolved from it, for better or worse. Hint: (It’s definitely for the worse) 4.5 stars

muy buen album, me gusto mucho recomiendo 100%

Pedazo de álbum, nada que agregar, un viejo conocido

Prior to be assigned this here, I have 4 songs liked on this album and 6 songs liked by Black Sabbath in total. So I am familiar with Black Sabbath but wouldn't say I'm a massive fan (yet). Liked songs on this one are "War Pigs", "Paranoid", "Planet Caravan" and "Iron Man" - basically what amounts to the whole side one of the LP. So I'm curious to listen to this whole thing and see if more of it grabs me. I ended up also liking the instrumental track "Rat Salad" and "Hand of Doom". The other 2 ("Electric Funeral" and "Jack the Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots") just didn't connect for me. Liked songs on Spotify: 6/8 Rating: 4/5

I've head all these songs before... but wasn't an active listener of Black Sabbath to realize they are from the same album. Not my usual jam, but this one rocks!

Was not thinking this would be a 5 for me, was never a Sabbath fan growing up (I mean, I was eight when this came out), and really did not dig Ozzy in the 80s. But I must admit, this album hangs together pretty well. The songs are really quite good. The opening to “Iron Man” is one of the most iconic riffs in metal, and “Paranoid” is a great single. Will give it 4.5 stars, and round up for them being there firstest with the mostest.

Angry and noisy

Strong contender for the greatest album of all time. Caravan, War Pigs, and Iron Man are all astonishing accomplishments of songwriting. So well paced, so well played, such an incredible journey. Perfect 5

Nice album, on the chiller side for Black Sabbath. Chill dudes (they are not and ozzy was "controversial" at best)

An album full of so many riffs that it feels like a best of, but then that’s the magic of Sabbath, the band of killer riffs. Planet Caravan is one of the best interluding songs ever written imo, and shows Sabbath’s ability to push the genre that they were themselves creating. 5.0/5.0 not even my favourite Sabbath album Best Song: Hand Of Doom

It is obviously a 5/5. It is probably the best album we have had so far. 8 5/5 tracks in a row. Groundbreaking music, so far ahead of itself for 1970. You could run out of words to describe quite how good it is. Best Track: Impossible to pick, Iron Man?

Just a really banging album with great riffs. The entire band seems at their peak

Can definitely see the starting points of metal here, but also got some nice grooves in Planet Caveman and Electric Funeral.

Great punk album, it’s a nice intro to punk and honestly I liked it quite a lot. I loved how unpolished and messy it was

Oh god I’m turning into my mom. I really liked this album and the way the songs flowed into one another. I already knew several songs so the familiarity was nice, but it was also interesting to listen in the intended order. The guitar and drum solos rock and Ozzy’s vocals are unique.

Чета я не помню ничего. День сейчас заново слушать, послушаю на выходных.

Classic!

Tuttuakin tutumpi, legendaarinen albumi. Tullut kuunneltua joskus ihan älyttömän paljon! Basso-kitara -osasto ihan tajutonta. Mulle kolisee tältä levyltä eniten ne ei-niin-hittibiisit Fairies wear boots ja Electric funeral. Ei kuitenkaan ihan päivittäiseen kuunteluun enää nykyään mutta näin harvakseltaan kuunneltuna edelleen erittäin hyvä rock-/metallilevy. 4/5

Pretty good

No notes needed.

Otro clasicazo

hot take but planet caravan is the best track on here

Onnnn se vaan!!!

unsurprisingly, this rules! total classic right here. not one that i've ever sat down to listen to in full before but i don't think any of these songs were new to me. every track here is gold with absolutely no fluff at all. for this to come out in 1970 and still sound as modern as it does? downright impressive. it's campy too i love it. the title track might be my fave but it's all great. the guitar work across this album is second to none. pretty much no notes.

... Like what am are you expecting me to say here of course this is peak. War Pigs, Iron Man and Paranoid are all hall-of-fame songs in their own right, but the thing this album really taught the 70s was that you could really make heavy metal HEAVY. I just really don't know what to say about this album that hasn't been said, the reasons its so good and influencial are startlingly obvious. I guess a criticism could be that its slightly front loaded in terms of the greats. Then again, the second half of Electric Funeral as well as the guitar and drum work throughout hold up so hard that they are only eclipsed because the first half is so larger than life.

liked it! not my style again but i’d be listening to iron man and fairies wear boots again

There's a reason only some of these songs are (over)played at sporting events and on the radio. Sure, this is incredibly influential, but overall just feels bland.

Will never forget hearing Hand of Doom for the first time. RIP OZZY

I like it more than the debut album

Changed the game forever. A classic.

Not my type of music, but this is a really good album

EDIT: Po 14 dniach słuchania albumów, to jedyny który został ze mną na dłużej. Życzę sobie więcej takich albumów niż różnej maści Bjorków XD, same bangery, album spójny i każdą piosenkę z przyjemnością się słucha. Kocham odtwarzać muzykę albumami, ale póki co to jedyny na liście, do którego da się wrócić

This is what badass means.

What makes this album great is that the deeper tracks are also really cool songs.

Hello, ol' friend. Lovely to hear you once again. Thank you for all the memories.

Awesome!

Rad, classic. Personally probably a 3, but points for impact

This album is a classic. No song untouched, it's absolutely perfect heavy metal.

Really brought me back to summer of 07 when I first began learning guitar. Never listened this closely to the lyrics before. Didn’t realize the rebellion and political nature of this record back then. Amazing to think of what this was like when it came out in 1970 during the height of the war. The birth of a new type of music it seemed.

Extraordinario álbum. Sonido oscuro y solos de guitarra, que me dejan la impresión de ser influencia a la posteridad. Se disfrutó muchísimo.

It's one of the first 6 Sabbath albums- so it's perfect in every way.

Best Song: Fairies Wear Boots This would probably make my top 20, and possibly even crack the top 10 favorite albums ever so a 5 is a no brainer. Now for the conundrum, the best song. For those who are new to Sabbath and this album, you are safe with anything from the first half of the album - especially War Pigs, Iron Man, or Paranoid. I have always been a massive Fairies Wear Boots fan and am going to put that as my favorite but not sure if it could be said it is the best on the album. But, that's why things are subjective. 5/5.

Not my favourite style, but I can tell there's some great material in this. Plus, it must be one of the earliest and most influential heavy metal albums. I liked it. 4/5

Stacked album.

It could be the definition of rock and roll: individuals of questionable technical ability coming together and somehow making brilliant music.

Classic RIP Ozzy

Iconic no skip album

Proto-Doom metal. Thanks for the blueprint! Also for Jay in the white pickup truck in high school who blasted Iron Man in the Burrito Stop parking lot every day at lunch. And War Pigs, covered by Faith No More and Dresden Dolls. RIP Ozzy.

This album was as good as I remember. War Pigs is a great way to start the album and the hits are obvious with Iron Man and Paranoid too. I never really "got" Planet Caravan though, but maybe I need to try again.

Wow. I guess I’m a metal fan. Who knew? I mean this album is awesome. Truly. I’m giving it 5 stars. It’s going into rotation. I can’t wait to freak out my brother and tell him I’m a full on Black Sabbath fan!

Best album from my favourite band, easy choice really

rat salad was giving upstairs neighbour activities, other than that i enjoyed it

Notable Songzeile: Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We'll just pass him there Why should we even care? Singt er die Noten oder spielen sie was er singt? Vermute Ersteres. Denn alles wird den Riffs untergeordnet. Der Sound sowieso, die anderen Instrumente. Die Stimme und der Text. Das ist konsequent und vermutlich haben so sehr sehr viele Leute Gitarre spielen gelernt. Und von denen haben dann fast alle schlechte Metalbands gegründet. Und was hätte ich in meiner Jugend gemacht ohne Konzertabende im Piano mit schlechten Metalbands? Vermutlcih was anderes ähnlich glorious sinnloses. Toll ist das nicht, aber zumindest löst es was aus, Nostalgie oder so. 2,5 wird

Puh, ich habe direkt erst mal meine Bewertungshistorie angeschaut. Bin ich zun großzügig? Vielleicht sind einige 4er 3er, einige 3er 2er. Das hier ist eine 5, verdammt nochmal. Und eine lustige Fortführung von Electric Ladyland vom Tag zuvor: neue Formen von Heavy Musik, Drogen, SciFi, kalter Krieg, Riffs. RIFFS!

Als es auf dem Screen aufpoppte dachte ich: Oh nö, nicht schon wieder so ne 70s-Gitarren-Mucker-Sache. Dann ist das Ganze aber leider doch überdurchschnittlich. Allein der Opener holt einen ab und nimmt uns dann mit auf die Reise. Vieles davon schon viel zu oft gehört und gerade in der zweiten Hälfte des Albums ein wenig ausfransend. Daher bin ich heute streng und gebe keine 5 sondern:

Not my favorite Sabbath but 100% a classic album.

Never been much of a metal guy, but this is undeniabe.

Unbelievably consistent. So many bangers which have lasted the test of time.

I enjoyed it. First half the album was fantastic, Electric Funeral is just awful and seemed to be the turning point of me not enjoying the album as much. I enjoyed the rest of the songs, they just weren't on par with the first half for me.

I think I knew that I was supposed to be impressed and that sort of skewed my listening experience. Was not overwhelmed but not quite underwhelmed either so just whelmed I guess.

High highs with War Pigs and Iron Man and a softer side of Black Sabbath I didn't know of.

Was good, not really my thing but it sounds cool, has some entertainment value. good production!

3.5/5? Loved some of the guitar lines. A bit heavy for my personal taste.

Highly overrated. But influential and possibly better that most of the early heavy rock/metal.

As somebody who grew up as a metal-head, this album is kind of everything. Even if I *probably* like Master Of Reality a little more (depending on the day), this is *The One*. Paranoid is the galvanization of everything metal would be. It may the the most archetypal example of the genre possible. And *Every* song, without exception is a classic within the genre; yes, even Rat Salad, the 2 minute, and 30 second long guitar/drum solo (remember that we're talking about Heavy Metal here, sometimes a 2 minute, and 30 second long guitar/drum solo is everything). Even if the self-titled was the birth of metal, it still had a couple of toes in the '60s. Paranoid left that all behind, and continued the pattern of Black Sabbath blasting years ahead of their contemporaries with every release (which would continue through Sabotage, and then, abruptly stop). You may be tempted to say "This can't be *that* far ahead of the proto-metal of the time" and I have to disagree. Deep Purple, Hendrix, Cream, Blue Cheer and others were making hard-edged, exciting rock music with heavy riffs, yes, and a lot of it was very good, but Sabbath's atmosphere and approach was *so* different. No one else had this level of menace, or Iommi's devotion to plodding riffs, or Ozzy treating his shriek like an instrument. It genuinely feels like Sabbath set out to make music in a genre different than what rock music was at the time. At the same time, you can still take Sabbath apart and see the respect for those who came before, just listen to Bill Ward's jazz-y drumming and the funk-y swagger of Geezer Butler's thick basslines. As I said, every song is iconic, War Pigs' weight, nimbleness, and epic structure makes it a strong contender for metal's national anthem. Paranoid established the template that would be expanded upon by The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, speed metal, and ultimately thrash (maybe even punk, to an extent). Iron Man has one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever written. Planet Caravan sounds like it was recorded underwater, and it showed that psych still has a place in metal, just in a darker way. One side B, the song's are still classics, but in a nicher capacity, but for metal fans, these are still the holy texts. Electric Funeral is a fucking slug-fest, and most likely the first doom metal song ever released. Which would make hand of doom the second doom metal song ever released, but it also serves as evidence of metal's capacity for dynamics and tension. The aforementioned Rat Salad may be the single most iconic instrumental song on a metal album. And the groovin', jazzy, Fairies Wear Boots closes with something fun and tongue in cheek that doesn't sacrifice the tone or content heard on the rest of the album. To me, this is kind of the other side of the hippie movement. The hippies reacted to violence and injustice with the free love movement and sunshine pop, but that couldn't be everyone's path. Sabbath were furious about the same things, but they were from an industrial hellscape, Iommi lost his fingers in a factory accident as a *teenager*, and Ozzy would snort anything you put in front of him, in short these guys were kinda fucked when they formed. So their answer to the violence of the time was enormous, lead-lined riffs and lyrics about nuclear holocaust, it's just how it goes. And it certainly found it's audience, even if critics hated it. But it probably wasn't their fault, Black Sabbath had already mastered something that barely existed. Regardless, Paranoid is most likely the most iconic metal album ever. And it inspired generations of doom-mongers to pick up a guitar and make some goddamn noise.

An album that definitely deserves its reputation. Favourite Songs: War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots. Least Favourite Songs: Planet Caravan, Rat Salad.

I like this style. Pretty good overall, great drums, guitar, and bass for sure.

Still bangs. Rat salad not bad either.

banger 5/5

👄🦇🫦😋

Great great album. I’ve heard it many times and I don’t mind many times more.

Great album with a few iconic hits, this is some quintessential black sabbath. Good stuff

This is genre-defining metal and set the standard for every Black Sabbath album to follow. The bellowing and unrefined low sounds of the brooding guitar bludgeons the listener while the precision sloppiness of the supporting instruments reinforces a thematic sound throughout the album. Tracks vary between fast tempo, such as Paranoid, and immediately drop away into pensive and slow tracks like Planet Caravan, showcasing the broad range of the genre and the talent of these artists.

Pas ma cam, mais certaines son sympa tout de même

good album best song planet caravan

very batman and teen titans irl esque. i recognize the Iron Man remastered version. not much else to say 3/10

Needs and deserves to be listened to loud. Another of Black Sabbath's unimpeachable run of first four albums. They captured lightning in a lager bottle, sunlight in a bong. Every element here working exactly as it should and adding up to a heady, undeniable stew of riffs, chugs and wails. Crank it.

Great album 4 stars

Cool songs. Cool album. 4/5

Legendary album of Metal. Literally genre defining and yet I havent listened to it front to back. Let's see how we do Ozzy. May he RIP War Pigs being the opening track is crazy work GG COMING IN SWINGING Paranoid (the song) CLASSIC IRON MANNNNNN Fuck yea legendary Didn't really care for the other songs after the hits but they are still good so

Basically the metal album as far as I’m concerned, master of reality might be even better

Hell yea Kinda front loaded but any album with war pigs, paranoid and iron man as tracks 1,2&4 will be Really not what I expected black sabbath to be, I had always thought it would be much much heavier and that I wouldn’t like it but this is awesome 4.5

Its true. One of the greatest albums ever recorded. A no skip blues drenched proto metal staple album. I'm pretty sure I own this on 3 forms of physical media and have listened to them copious amounts. Losing Ozzy last year still sucks a tremendous amount.

Супер альбом. На все времена!

יותר מדי גיטרה עבורי.. יש שירים נחמדים שנראה לי שאני מכיר אבל זה מרגיש כמו רבע מילים ושלושת רבעי גיטרות

Going from hard gritty rock with deep gutteral grows of lyrics to the softest song you can hear, amazing album to listen to on break with a beer and a sandwich

paranoid, iron man, electric funeral, hand of doom, jack the stripper / fairies wear boots

Pleasantly surprised. I actually like them

ABSOLUTE GENIUS BY OZZY OUSBORNE ,POLITICALLY COHERANT ,THE GUITAR MAKES ME ASCEND AND PLANET CARAVAN IS INSANTY 10/10

Definitely DEFINITELY should be on this list! Every song a banger.

No me llamo demasiado la atención

Increíble

Five star late Ozzy

very good, classic stuff

🤘🤘🤘

Fuck yes! Finally a worthy Fackin album on this list! It rips all the way through and has only aged better!

classics are classics for a reason.

Altered my brain chemistry. Nothing else just that, highly recommend everyone on the planet listen to this album. No skips.

Great album

I mean it's black sabbath

Funkier than I thought it would be. At lot less intense than I imagined

I don’t like heavy metal, but I suppose I do.

Black sabbath forever

Tiene un sonido increíble, realmente tiene su toque y es fantástico.

4.5/5. Undeniable classic. The quieter moments shine, though maybe not handled as deftly as they would be in the future. War Pigs is untouchable

Listened a few times before. First half is amazing but second is a bit forgettable. Iron Man was apparently originally called Iron Bloke

The perfect rock album by heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath. Two of the greatest riffs of all times “Iron Man” and “Paranoid” plus “War Pigs” and “Fairies Wear Boots”? Sign me up

Aside from the infamous title track, I wasn’t as familiar with the lesser known songs on this album. The heroin number Hand of Doom stands out. But my favorite was Planet Caravan- a moody, slow, space jam.

lo que es hacer MUSICA

very cool i like

Side one may be a contender for the strongest album side in ever. Just a monster of riffs, songs, lyrical statement, galactic interludes and raw power. Not to knock side two at all but it’s just not as iconic. Absolutely, a monolithic album.

Old gold.

I've got nothing to add to this. No notes. (5/5) I completely devoured all the early Sabbath albums (up to "Sabotage", then ... well... ehh...) as a teenager and every note and beat is tattooed on my cerebellum. Instant classic. Required listening. Absolutely deserves to be in this list. I'll probably listen to this a few times today because I haven't in a while. I will split a small hair, in that while I have very few problems with this album -- I have to be in the right mood to get all the way through "Hand of Doom", as I think it drags on a bit, for instance --- "Vol. 4" remains my absolute favorite Sabbath album. Don't mistake what I'm saying. I love them all, but "4" edges this one out in my mind just a teensy bit. But that is truly splitting hairs...

Given that I could run through all eight tracks at warp speed before I even hit play, it's a foregone conclusion that this one's an 8/5 without looking back. It may be debatable that this is Sabbath's best album ever (which it is), but what's not debatable is the influence that riff king Tony Iommi, bass legend Geezer Butler, pioneer of percussion Bill Ward, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, had in the formation of heavy metal and the entire hard rock genre for generations to come. Hail to the kings.

Variety: 5 Adequacy: 5 Listenability: 5 Uniqueness: 5 Emotionality: 5 = 5.0 "War, huh, yeah/ What is it good for?/ Absolutely nothing/ Say it again, y'all" Not sure there's much to be said here other than this is hand in hand with my favorite of theirs - Black Sabbath. That one's strength is in it's imperial-level doom and rawness. By this one they've honed the metal sound to its Platonic ideal. Full of craft, genius pacing, and that "heavy heavy monster sound." THE TRACKS Side one "War Pigs" - I think Sabbath have three of the best all time openings to an album ever - this, "Sweet Leaf" on Master of Reality, and "Black Sabbath" on Black Sabbath. Of the three, "Black Sabbath" is my personal favorite ( love how ploddingly sinister it is). This one is the best though. The Iommi riff machine is still at peak performance, and won't be slowing down anytime soon. The tightness between all the elements here is top notch and there is not a single part of this that is isn't iconic. And it's unfortunately VERY timely still. Would be nice to see those war pigs crawling, wouldn't it? "Paranoid" - Oh man... that chugging guitar lives in my brain so much that just randomly, several times a year it'll come in and I can't get rid of it. Not only does this album have one of the best opening moments on any album, this song in particular is one of the best openings of any song. Ever. In any genre. Go back and listen. I'll wait......... See. I told you. Also the best Ozzy vocals on any song in my opinion. Sure, who doesn't love "Iron man"? But "Iron Man" is a lot goofier. If "Iron Man" is them delivering some defibrillating shocks to the patient, then "Paranoid" is a syringe full of pure adrenaline stuck right into the heart. "Planet Caravan" - We start off swimming around in the murky depths, the band somewhere above us leading us toward the surface. Or so we think. We're really just going in circles, slower by the second, and back towards the bottom. But I've heard drowning is one of the more peaceful ways to go. At least by the end. "Iron Man" - Such a great riff that it became shorthand for an iconic heavy metal riff. If everything else about metal is forgotten in the far future, there will still be little mutant children running around the wastelands making devil horms and playing air guitar while vocalizing this riff. The drumming on this is what always sticks out me otherwise though. I imagine Ward was working some shit out the day they laid this one down. Imagining someone falling down some stairs maybe. Somehow feels more forceful than the heaviest of modern blast beats. And just when you're ready to pass around the high fives and hell yeahs, you remember the song's not over yet. There's still another minute and a half or so of face melting to be doled out. Also the lyrics are very, very stupid. But in an awesome way. Like how "Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly" is stupid. Awesomely stupid. Side two "Electric Funeral" - How could this get any darker? Those mutant kids I mentioned earlier might not be having such a great time after all I guess. This still rocks either way, and we even get a bot of a jazz metal freakout around 2:20. I've read before that Ward's first love was jazz, and you can really hear it here. The impressionistic hell on earth scenario that is described here feels properly disturbing. Good on ya, Geezer. "Hand of Doom" - Sabbath at their funkiest I think. Name a better anti-drug song. Ok, maybe "White Lines ( Don't Do It) is running even. But easy to see why the message may have been obscured in both of them. "Rat Salad" - Time for Ozzy to take breather and rehydrate. This is way more awesome than it needs to be given that it's a more or less gussied up interlude. A chance for Ward to show off his Gene Kruppa rolls though. "Fairies Wear Boots" - Ozzy tries his hand at writing some stupid lyrics and it comes off as pretty funny actually. A drug song with a punchline ending should not rock this much. More Olympic level drum gymnastics from Ward. (I know I've barely mentioned Iommi on here, but we got to this one out of chronological order, and when the debut rolls around, he'll get his flowers). Great ending to a perfect album. HIGHLIGHTS - "War Pigs" - "Paranoid" - "Planet Caravan" - "Iron Man" - "Electric Funeral" - "Hand of Doom" - "Rat Salad" - "Fairies Wear Boots" MIDLIGHTS - Nah LOWLIGHTS All killer, no filler FINAL THOUGHTS I went into this already trying to figure out if I even needed to bother with the criteria as it was a guaranteed 5/5. I did anyway though, and found that, try as I might, I couldn't really justify knocking it for anything. Sure it's all metal, and sounds like, well... a Sabbath record, but within the album itself there was plenty of variety. Sabbath is large, it contain multitudes. I mentioned before that while Black Sabbath is my favorite album by them. This one is the best though I think. Fires on all cylinders at all times, and is the ultimate crowd pleaser. Which counts for a lot in my book. A band wants fans to like its music. To entertain is the understood purpose, and this one is their most entertaining album, head to toe. This my friends is a stone cold, indisputably classic S-tier album. All the stars. PLAYLIST ALTERATIONS - Blasphemy! FURTHER LISTENING - In lieu of listing the plethora of bands who've been influenced by this, let's just tale a random smattering with a heavy lean towards this millennium: - Red by King Crimson - Dopethrone by Electric Wizard - Leviathan by Mastodon - Magick Rites by Dopelord - Dungeon Vision by Earth Tongue

What an iconic album. A Side 1 of War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, and Iron Man. That is up there with the best Side 1s of all time. And Side 2 ain't no slouch either. Yeah, this one is a 5. Its influence on Metal is primordial and Metal is my primary listening genre. An album full of deep thick guitar sounds that seem weighted down with overwhelming gravity. Tony Iommi brings a new perspective to guitars that is matched by Geezer Butler's bass lines. Ozzy makes a perfect band front man, and would own that space for 30 plus years. I can't wait to encounter all the other Black Sabbath albums on this list. I am woefully unfamiliar with much Black Sabbath beyond this album. My evangelical family had concern that I listened to Bon Jovi and Poison. Metallica was near a bridge too far. A band named Black Sabbath was absolutely too taboo for me. I have a memory of visiting my uncle's place and finding War Pigs on a radio station out of Louisville. I turned the volume very low so I didn't get caught. That static-y song might have been the most transgressive thing I had ever heard up until that point in my life. Its been quite the journey from that to metal fan. Thanks to these guys, because the world needed metal.

Goated album

Mega Album

Ive listened to this one already this is my first time here i have no idea whats happening so thats that see you tomorrow

Not as good as other Black Sabbath albums I’ve heard. The sludgey songs were harder to get though but can appreciate that it’s a decent album.

Classic rock album but I have to be in the right mood for some of it I LOVE WAR PIGS THO and PARANOID

Hermoso, es mi álbum fav de black Sabbath, mi canción fav es paranoid y iron man

I think Black Sabbath are not for me, but Iron Man is a hit forever.

The songs make for great needle drops and I'm sure they were great live Wouldn't listen in my spare time

I A M I R O N M A N

Rip to the legend Ozzy. These songs are so foundational to so much of the music I love today. War Pigs rules. Paranoid rules. Love Hand of Doom.

Amazing from start to finish. I had heard the big songs from Black Sabbath but never looked further into them because I thought it wouldn't be my style of music but I was pleasantly suprised. My first 5/5 War Pigs 9 Paranoid 10 Planet Caravan 6 Iron Man 9 Electric Funeral 8 Hand of Doom 8 Rat Salad 7 Jack the Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots 7

Entiendo el vibe de porque tiene canciones tan populares, si bien yo no escucho mucho rock pero todo el álbum es un viaje que se disfruta no es un rock que te aturde, las guitarras son espectaculares, para alguien que no es fan , reconoce que tocan muy bien, un álbum bien logrado y que hasta te motiva

1. War Pigs / Luke's Wall - 10 Not a fan of how the song ends but it transitions beautifully into the second track. Lyrically it's amazing and the guitars sound superb. Amazing track. 2. Paranoid - 9 Solid rock track with some great guitar sounds in it. Not 100% in love with how drowned the vocals are nor how high in pitch they are, but they are still excellent. 3. Planet Caravan - 10 Instrumentally it's absolutely brilliant. Vocally I do like the effect on it, but it can be hard at times to make out the lyrics so there's potential you miss whatever they're singing about entirely. Lovely vibe of a track regardless with a superb sound. 4. Iron Man - 8 The vocal effect at the very beginning is really poor but the guitar and drums on this track are absolutely legendary. Brilliant track. 5. Electric Funeral - 6 Instrumentally the middle part of the track is outstanding. Lyrically this is okay but it is also quite dated and doesn't really stand the test of time. Little bit all over the place as a track. Guitars are the highlight and thankfully, there's a lot of them to enjoy here. 6. Hand of Doom - 10 Just a great track. From the heavy guitar parts to the quieter strumming/plucking. Lyrically it's also just a fantastic track. 7. Rat Salad - 9 Brilliant instrumental. Guitars are loud, drums are heavy, mom's spaghetti. It's just a brilliant sub 3-minute track of jamming. 8. Jack the Stripper / Fairies Wear Boots - 11 The guitar on this track is pure filth, especially in Fairies Wear Boots. Drums get a lot of play in the beginning too before the vocals come in and add the perfect touch. Absolutely astonishing track. Average Rating: 9.13 Adjusted to 5-Point Scale: 4.56 Rounded Up: 5 Stars

I knew about the classics from this record but the rest was very melodic and pleasabke

It was some songs that were pretty good, I wouldn’t call it like that kind of boring same old rock this was more like a rock that kept you listening and it was 1 good song that I actually saved.

Приятные барабанны местами, очень известные песни, ничего лишнего

Not bad. Liked some of the songs :)

suena piola, no estoy para metal así tan heavy.

es metal pendejo pajero

I have to admit i had a different view on heavy metal before listening to this album. Turns out i actually REALLY enjoy it.

Amazing album, one of the first proper heavy metal albums I ever listened to

Arguably the most important metal album ever and for a good fucking reason because all the music in here is awesome. Paranoid is my fav song of the album. War Pigs and Iron Man are my other highlights. Hand Of Doom was my fav first listen
