Paranoid
Black Sabbath · 1970 · Heavy Metal
The album that invented the vocabulary everything heavy still borrows from.
9.6 / 10
Review
Paranoid is where the riff became the subject rather than the accompaniment. Iommi's tone — thin strings, detuned, played through a broken-in stack — is the origin point, and Osbourne's melodies give the doom a pop-shaped hook it never lost.
