Black Sabbath "Paranoid" (1970) - got it
Another case of a band having a quick turnaround between albums with their debut and Paranoid being released around 6 months apart, yet they still manage to explore interesting new directions.
There are the slow grinding riff monsters like 'Iron Man' and 'War Pigs' that are akin to the first album. The title track has an almost punk vibe, while "Planet Carvan" is a psychedelic hippy acoustic jam. "Rat Salad" provides an instrumental wank-off (for those who revel in musicians flexing their virtuosic muscles) and then 'Hand of Doom' to me honestly sounds like heavier, doomier take on Zeppelin.
Probably Sabbath's best known/loved album and with good reason.
