Though most of Black Sabbath's classic material from this album ("War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Fairies Wear Boots," and the title track) can also be found on the collection We Sold Our Soul for Rock & Roll, Paranoid is essential for the completist. One of the best albums from one of the bands to define heavy metal, this album is chock-full of the best stuff from Sabbath's Osbourne years. (Where else will you be able to hear "Rat Salad?") The music isn't exactly complex, but it doesn't need to be; its importance lies in its evocative power, with which any teenager will be able to identify. --Genevieve Williams

IMO the most influential hard rock/metal album of all time
5 out of 5 stars
IMO the most influential hard rock/metal album of all time
No big secret with those that know me that I am a huge Sabbath fan, have been since around 1980 and hear Sold our Soul for the 1st time. Over the past couple of years I have been treated to now 4 of the best presents ever. This Super Delux set of Paranoid is the final of the 4 that I have now, Sabatoge, Vol4 and Technical Ecstasy are the other Super Delux sets from this bands discography. Review: The packaging is top notch, the vinyl like the music is heavy. The reproduced show program is like holding a piece of history, how the band was promoted. The book is filled with rare pics. The original albulm is remastered and its clear that this band was something special. Can you imagine its 1970 and you put this LP on your turntable for the first time? No one was this hard, this dirty, this groovy, this dark all at the same time. Can't wait to also listen to the Quad in Stereo pressing as well as the live LPS. If your a fan of the Sab4 or even just a hard rock/metal fan this is essential listening.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "THE ROOTS OF HARD ROCK"
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    PARANOID (1970) In this album Black Sabbath take their trademarked heavy sound and refine it. "LIKE A STEEL BLADE", they sharpened the edge and used it to lay waste to everything before them.

    LYRICS: The subject matter of the album was typically DARK, delving into topics such as supernatural horror, drug use, nuclear war and death which suited the band's bleak, minor-key sound and served to be inwardly terrifying for it's listener

    THE SOUND: Paranoid refined Black Sabbath's signature sound -- crushingly loud, minor-key dirges loosely based on HEAVY BLUES ROCK -- and applied it to a newly consistent set of songs with utterly memorable riffs, most of which now rank as all-time metal classics.I mean, this was apparently recorded in 1970, and since I am a big fan of old hard rock music, I can say that no one had production this guitar-accented.

    THE TRACKS:

    War Pigs: A seven and a half minute monster.The opening riff it's amazingly atmospheric while containing what I consider nearly a perfect melody. A gloomy overture introducing Iommi's guitar tone and some of the best riffs on the album

    Paranoid: This a KILLER song whit galloping-speed, That starting gun of a riff, fading into the maddeningly sing-songy melody is the stuff of metal legend. Gotta love that bubbly bass tone and behaved drumming, plus one of Iommi's more fun lead breaks.

    Planet Caravan: Is an obviously substance-inspired trip through time and space. Featuring some of the trippiest sounding vocals and an interesting percussion section using bongos, piano, a slower tempo, a quieter mix, and Iommi's constant guitar riff, the song is very calming compared to the rest on this album.

    Iron Man: The best CUT of the album, the first riff is one of the most simple but amazing in the metal music. Tony Iommi's awesome guitar vocabulary part throughout, Bill Ward's pulverising drums.The lyrics is about a demonic Iron Man that seeks vengence on the people by killing them

    Electric Funeral: Creates the most forbidden atmosphere of any song on this album. Iommi's whining riff begins the song with a creepy tone introducing Osbourne's voice. This song, concerning nuclear warfare, is definitely a classic.

    Hand of Doom: Is another HAUNTING song, quiet guitar and bass lines that they awaken the listener to the reality of the results of substance abuse.The lyrics are superb descriptions of doom and death, pain and suffering, addiction and disillusion, and really show where the influences for so many musicians came from.

    Rat Salad: Is an interesting instrumental. Showcasing the abilities of both Iommi and Bill Ward, the instrumental has both a BLUESY and a modern (1970s) rock feel.HEAVY RIFFS

    Fairies Wear Boots: A lumbering stoner metal classic, the final gem on an album full of them. The lyrics are hilarious, either as a 'harrowing' tale of the stoner who cried wolf(or fairy in this case), or as a biting send-up of the English skinhead movement.

    Sempre fico com o pé atrás com os relançamentos remasterizados dos lps.
    Percebo que a grande maioria tem o som inflado, com graves que me parecem desproporcionais e agudos recuados escondendo assim vários detalhes das músicas.
    Além disso vejo uma falta de cuidado com as prensagens atuais, com os discos riscados, empenados, descentralizados e por aí vai.
    Claro que existem reedições bem cuidadas, e penso que todos os lançamentos deveriam vir dessa maneira.
    Voltando a esse box em vinil do álbum Paranoid, eu li vários comentários negativos no Discogs, tanto da edição US lançado pela Rhino quanto da edição europeia lançada pela BMG, principalmente no que diz respeito a prensagem, discos riscados etc.
    Recebi a edição US, que era a que eu queria, onde os selos dos discos estão próximos dos álbuns de época. Na edição europeia usaram selos novos.
    Para minha surpresa todos os discos estão perfeitos, sem riscos, empenos, bolhas ou qualquer defeito.
    O box vem com 5 discos que são: o álbum em stereo, o álbum em quad mix e 3 discos ao vivo de duas apresentações, uma em Montreux e outra em Bruxelas ambas em 1970.
    O álbum em stereo eu achei sensacional, som limpo, com detalhes, sem graves inflados.
    O álbum em quad mix eu achei bom mas é diferente, a voz está mais baixa, os agudos com menos detalhes mas sem graves inflados.
    Os 3 lps ao vivo tem o som legal, nada de espetacular, sendo que o Montreux me agradou mais.
    O box vem também com um livro, um programa da tour Paranoid e um pôster.
    Tudo muito bem feito.
    Se vale a pena, com certeza !
    Aprovadissimo !
