The shape of things to come. Review: "THE ROOTS OF HARD ROCK" - 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. Review: Perfect, sealed and super flat! Good quality. - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01H2ROWBG | | Best Sellers Rank | #189 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #98 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (5,256) | | Date First Available | June 15, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Rhino/Warner Records | | Manufacturer | Rhino/Warner Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2016 | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 12.6 x 1 inches; 8 ounces | | Run time | 25 minutes | ## Images ![Paranoid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FwFq0FysL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "THE ROOTS OF HARD ROCK" *by H***D on January 23, 2014* PARANOID (1970) In this album Black Sabbath take their trademarked heavy sound and refine it.
