{"product_id":"black-sabbath-paranoid-lp","title":"Black Sabbath - Paranoid (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePARANOID proved to be Black Sabbath's most focused, consistent, and successful record. Leaving behind the amorphous, extended jams of their debut for focused songs and a more structured sound, Black Sabbath virtually wrote the book on heavy metal with the ominous, unforgettable riffs, thunderous rhythms, and dark themes on this release. There are some up-tempo rockers, the famous title track for one, but for the most part PARANOID oozes along like a bad dream, as on the slinky, creepy opener, \"War Pigs,\" or the lumbering thud of \"Iron Man\" (which boasts one of the most indelible electric guitar riffs in rock history).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's title is apt: PARANOID is filled with an edgy aggression and lyrics about war, insanity, death, and destruction. Ozzy Osbourne's flat, affectless voice merges perfectly with Tony Iommi's fuzzed-out, sledgehammer power chords and the bruising bass and drum lines to create an intense, freaky, horror-show universe. There are elements of blues-rock and psychedelia (the floating \"Planet Caravan,\" in particular), but Black Sabbath basically invents here what would become one of the most popular genres of music in the latter 20th century and beyond. Even after the millions of heavy metal albums that have followed in its wake, PARANOID stands as an all-time classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 War Pigs \/ Luke's Wall 7:55\u003cbr\u003eA2 Paranoid 2:47\u003cbr\u003eA3 Planet Caravan 4:29\u003cbr\u003eA4 Iron Man 5:54\u003cbr\u003eB1 Electric Funeral 4:49\u003cbr\u003eB2 Hand Of Doom 7:07\u003cbr\u003eB3 Rat Salad 2:29\u003cbr\u003eB4 Jack The Stripper \/ Fairies Wear Boots 6:13\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097558397187,"sku":"QJQ5PO-EXYA-00","price":25.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/black-sabbath-paranoid-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
