It sounds like we like it for similar reasons. You cant discount any Sabbath album, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath alongwith Master of Reality are not far behind at all but Vol4 gets the nod from me.

I also look at it as more of a diverse record, especially for Iommi. Its let down by Changes but is so close to being a perfect record.

Im also a huge fan of stoner rock and doom metal, but I view this album as more of an influence than Paranoid, personally.
