Editorial Review:
Album Description:
2008 digitally remastered and expanded deluxe double vinyl LP pressing of the classic sophomore album from the Heavy Metal kingpins led by Ozzy Osbourne. Originally released in 1970, Paranoid still stands as an important milestone in the history of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This ultimate edition features a beautifully remastered version of the album on the first slab of wax plus an alternate version of the album including instrumental mixes, alternate recordings on the second slice of vinyl. Majestic Metal, indeed. Sanctuary.
Amazon.com essential recording:
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

Rating:  - Sabbath's classic at its best!
Had it on vynil; been wanting on CD for years, finally it came to pass.
Rating: - "'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all you do..."
This is a fantastic album. It's a bit on the dumb side, sure - the lyrics are unintentionally hilarious, from the famous middle-school sci-fi scribblings of "Iron Man" (which is still an absolute classic) to the drug anthem "Fairies Wear Boots" ("'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all you do... yeah!" to the "Kashmir"-esque meanderings of "Planet Caravan" to the first line of the whole album, coming from the deservedly famous "War Pigs" - "Generals gathered in their masses... just like witches in their ...

This is the earliest LP that I would truly call "Heavy Metal," although there were shades of what was to come (NIB) on Sabbath's self titled debut.As someone raised on speed metal, I didn't think I would enjoy the plodding pace of most of the songs on this work (except Paranoid itself), but I was pleasantly surprised.Iommi's sinister riffs manage benefit from the plodding pace and need to be at 200 bpm to be "heavy."
As much as Rubber Soul and Desperado, this CD should be in the library ... Read More
Rating: - One Of The Greatest Albums Of All Time - It's Not Just A "Metal Record"
I grew up fearing Black Sabbath because of my strong religious upbringing. I was shocked to hear Satan's name used in a song; I didn't know if that was censorable or not at the time. When I was 11, I would sneak off on my bike with my Walkman, and I always heard "War Pigs" just about everyday on KNAC. It gave me such a heavy feeling at the time, but I knew that I liked it somehow.
Well, when I finally moved out on my own, I made up for lost time and sowed my wild metal oats.

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.
