I always thought "Faeries Wear Boots" more rock than metal, and I guess that's because it sounded less doomy by comparison than the other songs on Paranoid, it felt too playful, and the lyrics were too silly to be taken seriously, but for some reason I'm only just noticing just how chaotic and ****ing noisy it is. The repetitive riffs are ****ing loud as ****, the main riff ends in what sounds like a literal metallic clang, and the song goes through so many changes while always staying cohesive and strangely simple that it's hard to figure out what to even call it. I feel like a god damn ******* for not considering it not one of the best things Sabbath ever did and also one of the heaviest. Metal ****ing majesty right here.
