"Iron Man" is simultaneously moody with those bizzare opening notes, and turns completely around to an incredibly badass song when that riff comes in. Maybe I was exaggerating a little bit with the "only" comment because to be fair, the entire band mechanic changed when Dio came in and everybody started playing a little differently. Also, I don't know if you've listened to Dopesmoker from my top 10 yet but that's another album where if the guitar tone wasn't as massive the album would be much less good.
I don't know if this post answers your questions but those are my thoughts.

Sorry man, somehow I missed your post. Don't want you to think I was ignoring it. I see what you mean, though for me there's a lot more I like Sabbath for. I understand as a guitarist though there are certain things you like, which is all good.
Dopesmoker? Yes I've listened to it. You'll have to wait to see what I thought of it though...
