Great album from War Pigs to Fairies, the beginning of Electric Funeral is stunning - first time I heard a wah wah pedal used on a riff & I first heard this album when I was in year 8 at high school (14 years old). Still love listening to the masters of heavy rock.

When Paranoid first came out, it was a shock to the system to for the average listener of rock and roll -- it was like an espresso for Maxwell House coffee drinkers, an assault to the auditory senses; except for Jimmy Page's Led Zeppelin, nothing came close. This was born of the marriage of massive guitar barrages and horror movie sensibilities, a relentless panzer attack masterpiece. War Pigs captured that 70's time period of war protest, but it was a kick to the head instead of the usual folk pleading for change. Iron Man is simply a heavy metal classic, with Paranoid and Electric Funeral coming as my common favorites with Iommi savage guitar work and Ozzie's gripping vocals. Closing out the album is the head-banging "Fairies Wear Boots". A classic album.
