The proper titles are "War Pigs/Luke's Wall" and "Jack the Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots"

Far less listeners on these tags so what’s the point. Nobody says I’m gonna listen to Jack the stripper/fairies wear boots by Black Sabbath also.

Fairies, Pixies and Sprites are evil. They breed alot yet they are rare. They are rare because they are very easy to kill.

I think placing War Pigs as the penultimate song, and Planet Caravan as the final track really elevates the listening experience. War Pigs is too grand and epic a song to open an album with. Such a song works best at or towards the end of a record.

For years I thought the album cover was a metal hand with a glowing red in the middle. It's insane how blind I was for years to not notice the guy with a fucking sword leaping out of the woods.

Tracks 1-5 are heavy metal masterpieces! I love 'em! Paranoid is one of the best albums in the history of albums.

I THINK I WILL WATCH, AS YOU SHOULD NOW DO, THE YOUNG ONES - THE COMEDY SHOW THE NASTY EPISODE OR THE SUMMER HOLIDAY EPISODE - QUITE FITTING R.E MUSCAL CHOICE AND/OR BANL LIFESTYLE INTERSPERSED WITH IDIOTC ASIDES AND ERR VIOLENCE - THE GREEBO LIFESTYLE I FEEL... ANYHOW; YOU COULD, AKIN TO MOST EAST EUROPEAN TYPES, CONFUSE THE CATCHY MONIKER THE YOUNG ONES WITH THE CLIFF RICHARD FILM OF SAME NAME AND FOREVER LOOK PERPLEXED AT THE IDIOT WEARING A FAUX FUR HAT... STOOPID SKINNY FOOL.

This is, obviously, a classic among classics and the A side is a big part of the reason why, but I actually prefer the B side. "Electric Funeral" is a killer slow burner, "Hand of Doom" is appropriately enough one of the band's Doom-iest tracks that is heavy as an anvil, "Rat Salad" is... well, a drum solo, but a good one, and "Fairies Wear Boots" is a fantastic album closer. I don't rank Paranoid among my very favorite Sabbath records, but there is no question that it was and still is massively influential-- they were basically establishing the mould for Heavy Metal with this one.

Good choice! I think more and more of us are starting to realize that in most cases the original masters are superior to the much hyped "digital remasters" that the record companies (and in some cases the artists) try to convince us are such a vast improvement in quality of the records we've loved for years. The number of times that a remaster has improved the way an album has sounded to my ears I could probably count on two hands, if not just one.

i just read this discussion and couldn't agree more. Although i'm a relatively new lastfm user (i created my acc in 2017 but didn't start scrobbling until 2019), i'm aware that this site seems to have been left out. Admins don't take care of lfm anymore. Tags are a mess, scrobbling constantly stops working and you have to reconnect it manually. Also, i came to this album shutbox looking for someone struggling with that awful "remastered" tag (spotify changes the album names and tags without notificating us, so i have to have an eye put on lastfm to fix my library. It's a complete mess but i'm kind of glad that i'm not the only one that feels shame for this

Ah, so YOU'RE the one. I somehow got it into my head that his name was Tommy and was very surprised recently when I found that it was actually Tony. I must have seen this shout soon after it was posted and overwritten whatever correct knowledge I previously had in my brain.
