Paranoid is commonly identified as Black Sabbath's magnum opus. The album contains some of the band's best-known signature songs, including "Iron Man", "War Pigs", and the title track. To capitalise on their chart success in the US, the band returned to the studio in June 1970, just four months after Black Sabbath was released. The new album was initially set to be named War Pigs after the song "War Pigs", which was critical of the Vietnam War; however, Warner changed the title of the album to Paranoid when what would become the album's lead-off single, "Paranoid", was written in the studio at the last minute. As Bill Ward explains: "We didn't have enough songs for the album, and Tony just played the guitar lick and that was it. It took twenty, twenty-five minutes from top to bottom." The single was released in September 1970 and reached number four on the UK charts. The album followed in the UK in October 1970, where, pushed by the success of the "Paranoid" single, it made number one in the charts. Paranoid has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
