Not for me beyond this listen. It was a good experience, and I bet I could appreciate it deeply as a live performance. Fantastic artistry but doesn't connect with me in an album setting.

Love the mood and vibe. Many standout songs for me that jus capture the energy of highs and lows so well.

Overall, I see why this is considered an iconic album without even fully understanding its context due to my lack of knowledge about the 60s/70s metal scene. I'm a huge fan and connected to the music's sound at a very core level. Intro song (War Pigs) is iconic--Every instrumental is a banger. I love when music is just "war is evil, guitar solo." Paranoid taking half an hour to write is hilarious and a sign that sometimes the vibes are just immaculate. Just a great bop of a song. Planet Caravan was very pleasant, a major comedown from the energy of Paranoid. I liked it and could hear myself listening to it when I am in a focused mood. Love the instrumentation. Iron Man's verses are so catchy (positive). Thematically, I vibe with how the world can turn us hard so easily, it can be hard to care when nobody else seems to want you to. Cathartic listening experience. Great solos, which will be a trend. I almost wish it came back to one more verse at the end, but it could just because I liked it so much I could have had it keep going. Electric Funeral's sound was an immediate yes for me. Doom and gloom but make it sound sick. Love the unevenness in the sound overall, then the unsteadiness in the time structure in the bridge. Overall a mood. Hand of Doom just feels so heavy. The weight in the lyrics and the instruments, just bleak. Makes me feel a pit in my stomach. Headbanger for me though, just feel the instruments and vocals in my bones. Rat Salad (the Baltimore diet). Drums go boom, it's a good time. Doesn't overstay its welcome at all, I'm sure it'd go crazy to witness live. Fun addition and a good placement in the album. Fairies Wear Boots is a tough lyric choice for me to enjoy, so it turns me off the song a bit. My least favorite off the album, but I definitely will find the chorus get caught in my head.
