Well, it's a classic, ain't it? I've never been the hugest Sabbath fan, or Ozzie fan for that matter, but this album is a classic. And while it stirred quite a few pots when it was released, it seems fairly tame now. War Pigs is a great political start to any album, and here it establishes Sabbath's second album as arrived more fully formed than their first effort. Paranoid has a youthful honesty to it that they seemed to lose as substance, and fame drove the band to be overcome by their own personas. If you can't name a song off this album, you're probably not much a Rock fan.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
