Good Samaratin
This review may not be very helpful. Because I ordered this item (and some other previous Amazon.com music), for a friend who hasn't any access to the Internet and limited transportation. And I know my friend likes this album/CD, I personally do not care for Black Sabbath.

One of the best, ever. Simple as that.
Every moment is PURE metal, losing most of the bluesy sounds from the first album... and virtually every song is metal perfection. It's one of the very, very, VERY few albums that I listen to all the way through every time. In the car, I will detour a few blocks around, just to let "Fairies Wear Boots" finish. No, I'm not kidding.

Best listened to at antisocial levels of volume. I can't wait to hear the remastering job on the Black Box set...

Black Sabbath, "Paranoid", 1970
By far one of the greatest Black Sabbath albums ever realesed. And by far an essential CD for anyone too have on there iPod or on CD. Every song on here is great the two greatest songs though are of course, Paranoid, and Iron Man.
1. War Pigs/Lukes Wall, 5/5 stars
2. Paranoid, 5/5 stars
3. Planet Caravan, 3/5 Stars
4. Iron Man 5/5 Stars
5. Electric Funeral 5/5 Stars
6. Hand Of Doom 5/5 Stars
7. Rat Salad 5/5 Stars
8. Fairies Wear Boots/Jack The Stripper, 5/5 Stars

Legendary, and that's an understatement.
It was on Friday the 13th of February 1970 when Sabbath unleashed the beast known as metal with their debut. Seven months later, Tony, Ozzy, Bill and Geezer defined and perfected the genre with this record. No metal or hard rock music collection would be complete without this masterpiece. All hail the almighty Sabbath!

Classic Black Sabbath
This is classic Black Sabbath right here. It doesn't get any better than this. While the mini jam-sessions get a little overplayed, the songs are great from beginning to end. This album contains all the classics such as the title track, "War Pigs", and "Iron Man." If you like Ozzy & Black Sabbath, definitely get this.
