Both albums are absolute classics and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is their most mature effort ever in terms of songwriting. The band built off the diversity of Vol.4 and combined it with their traditional dark metal sound and even by 1973 they were still the best metal band around.
It was almost impossible to choose, so I decided on which album I had preferred over the longer time period and SBS won, as my love for Paranoid has been far more recent.
Paranoid -3
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath -3
