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 listenerTHE 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 albumParanoid: 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 themElectric 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 RIFFSFairies 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.
No.1Best Heavy Metal Album
I bought this album on CD on 90’s and wanted to have it as a relic when Ozzy passed away.I’m restarting my vinyl collection and I was not expecting such a highly end quality on this 180grams as I had on that CD in the past.Listening on a reference turntable I can tell some of the faint effects and background noise on the recording are been played with a higher definition than before, and this remastered tracks are clean and sharp. I don’t have floor speakers but can tell the quality.The album arrived flat and I have no need to use any record weight. Five stars to this beauty.
Best album ever, for my 26 yr old dtr. It was my favorite and Im 70!
Black Sabbath sounds better on a CD as opposed to the 1972 vinyls . Especially War Pigs from the Viet Nam era. Ozzy’s words ring true today for the Iran conflict.This cd is a small collection of hits. Very happy with my purchase.
Great buy
Classic no doubt Sound is better than ever on cd Good deal Happy customer Recommend purchase
Was a present for family member who loved it
I was on the fence buying this. But with the discount on Amazon I pulled the trigger yesterday. Known these songs for most my life. But they never sounded as good as the Quadraphonic Mix.I am pleasantly pleased a 50 year old album can bring new joy.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (50th Anniversary Edition) (Deluxe Box Set) - 09.10.20Zum 50. Jubiläum des im September 1970 zweiten Albums von Black Sabbath, PARANOID, wurde dieses nun in einer neuen Box wiederveröffentlicht und mit einigen Extras versehen.Das Lied und der Bandname Black Sabbath wurde von dem Horrorfilm „Die drei Gesichter der Furcht“ (1963) inspiriert, dessen englischer Titel Black Sabbath war. Das Quartett bestand aus Tommy Iommi (Lead-Gitarre), Ozzy Osbourne (Gesang), Geezer Butler (Bass) und Bill Ward (Drums).Nach dem bluesigen Debüt schlugen Black Sabbath mit PARANOID in eine mehr als rockige Richtung ein. Ursprünglich sollte das Album WALPURGIS heißen, dann WAR PIGS. Erst später wurde auf Drängen der Plattenfirma beschlossen, das Album unter PARANOID zu veröffentlichen, um einen provokanten Zusammenhang mit dem Vietnamkrieg gar nicht erst aufkommen zu lassen.PARANOID ist das mit Abstand erfolgreichste Album von Black Sabbath überhaupt, egal wer später alles am Mikro war. Es war auch sehr lange Zeit das einzige Nr. 1 Album von Black Sabbath (UK & Niederlande), bis 2013 das letzte Studio-Album „13“, wiedervereint mit Ozzy, in vielen Ländern an die Spitze der Album-Charts kletterte, dabei aber bei weitem nicht an die verkauften Mengen von PARANOID herankam.Der Song PARANOID, nachdem das Album dann benannt wurde, entstand ironischerweise erst gegen Ende der Albumsessions in zehn Minuten und wurde eiligst aufgenommen, um die Platte zu füllen. Die Single PARANOID wurde schließlich zum größten Hit der Band und ein Top-Ten Hit in Großbritannien und sogar Nr. 1 der Single-Charts in Deutschland. Es ist der einzig nennenswerte Singleerfolg der Band in der gesamten Geschichte und die einzige Top Ten Platzierung einer Black Sabbath Single.Der Einfluss von Black Sabbath im Grundsätzlichen und von PARANOID im Speziellen kann man gar nicht messen, ist aber zweifelsohne mehr als gegeben. Black Sabbath zählt neben Deep Purple und Led Zeppelin zu den ersten und bedeutendsten Bands des Hard Rock und gilt als richtungsweisend für die spätere Entwicklung des Heavy Metal. PARANOID sehen viele als die Geburtsstunde des Heavy Metal an.Das Album hat eine enorme Bedeutung und wird nun zum 50. Geburtstag entsprechend gewürdigt. In der Box sind 4 CD’s enthalten:CD 1: PARANOID (2012 Remaster)CD 2: PARANOID (Quadradisc Mix in Stereo 1974)CD 3: LIVE IN MONTREUX 1970CD 4: LIVE IN BRUSSELS 1970CD’s 2-4 haben es durchaus in sich. Der 74er Stereo Mix auf CD 2 war lange Zeit verschollen. Die beiden Live CD’s sind bisher nicht veröffentlicht worden und waren nur als Bootleg erhältlich.Will man was an dieser Box kritisieren, dann dass die Live-Konzerte nicht vollständig enthalten sind. Auf dem Bootleg zu CD3 LIVE IN MONTREUX gab es noch den Song RAD SALAD, der hier nicht enthalten ist.Zusätzlich sind in der Box enthalten:• ein Replika des Tourbooks, das bei der damaligen Paranoid Tour verkauft wurde• zahlreiche seltene Fotos, Memorabilia, Interviews mit allen Bandmitgliedern• ein PosterFür Sabbath Fans ist das Album Pflicht. Wer das Album noch nicht hat, kann hier bedenkenlos zugreifen. Für neue Fans ist das Album hochinteressant, ist es doch ein Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte und gehört in jede gut sortierte Musiksammlung. Fette fünf Sterne meinerseits.
I have this album in vinyl but it has a few scratches, can now listen to it in my car and on my cd player. Timeless classic.
O áudio está incrível. Excelente trabalho gráfico também.
