GOsh!! PARANOID is really a bad album! It is "sandwiched" between BLACK SABBATH and MASTER OF REALITY, both of them wiht MUCH BETTER PRODUCTION. THat's right! PARANOID's sound is obnoxious, boring, a real pain to listen. Only the famous tracks are killers, the rest is some of the worst Sabbath (with Ozzy) ever wrote, obvioulsy due to the sheer speed this album was written and recorded, soon after their homonimous great (thi is really a a great album!) debut.PARANOID has so much fame due to it's title track. Nothing more than that.
