Metal
Paranoid is a prime example of the relentless work rate of rock bands during the 1970s. Arriving just four months after their eponymous debut album landed in 1970, which hit the UK top ten and arguably invented heavy metal music, while that predecessor was a landmark it's on their second album that the English guitar titans really hit the motherlode.
Now 50 years young, and no less bruising or battered, this is the record that gave us the poised, blues tension of 'War Pigs', the world-famous title anthem, and pitch-shifting 'Iron Man', all three of which remain some of the most defining tracks from the band's history, and the history of deep, dark and driving rock 'n' roll music. Presented here with some hugely atmospheric live versions ('Fairies Wear Boots' from Montreux is particularly noteworthy), there's never been a better time to buy.
