If it were still Paranoid vs. Volume4 I'd be tying things up, but I'll take Paranoid over SBS

8-6 for Paranoid now.

Ok Paranoid yet again wins, after holding off a very strong challenge from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by 8>6. It now comes up against the DARK JEWEL in the Sabbath crown and this will be the final battle of this war. How will Paranoid Black Sabbath's definitive album, fare against Master of Reality Black Sabbath's most revered album. Place your vote, as these votes will decide Music Banter's greatest ever Black Sabbath album.

Black Sabbath Paranoid 1970


Versus

Black Sabbath Master of Reality 1971

Master of Reality is more consistent as a whole album. It just works perfectly. But "After Forever" and "Lord of This World" have preachy lyrics that kinda bug me. Especially "After Forever"...

"Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?"

Really Ozzy? Christians are the persecuted minority and those bastard atheists are judging you and making your life difficult? Gimme a ****ing break. Musically they're awesome, but they still bug me. So I've gotta go with Paranoid.

Paranoid - 1
Master of Reality - 1

Master - 2
Paranoid - 1

Master is my favorite Sabbath album, it was the full tilt birth of Doom Metal, While Paranoid hinted at it, Master perfected it.

Sure, those lyrics are kinda lame.... but the album features "Children of the Grave" and my all-time favorite Sabbath song "Into the Void", both of which are amazing and surpass Paranoid.

Have to go with Master here.

yet another difficult choice - no naff tracks on Master of Reality, i'd like to think those lyrics the Bat-Mite mentioned are just Ozzy goofing around

but then again, the highlights on Paranoid are infallible

Master - 2
Paranoid - 2

Master of Reality is my clear favorite. 2nd is self-titled. 3rd is Paranoid.

Master of Reality - 3
Paranoid - 2

I'd say that "Iron Man" is just about the equal of "Into the Void" in terms of heaviness and general awesomeness, and while Master of Reality has "Children of the Grave" and "Sweet Leaf", Paranoid has "War Pigs" and "Paranoid". And after that, Paranoid's tracks are just a cut above the rest of the tracks on Master of Reality.

Since Ozzy is a devout Christian, I doubt it.
