Title: Classic Dinosaur Rock
Product review: Hard to believe, but more people now know Ozzy Osbourne as a sitcom star than as the lead singer for Black Sabbath. Even harder to believe, it has now been 32 years since Oz and Sabbath released their best album, the lumbering "Paranoid." The first half of the album features Sabbath at their best. The eight minute "War Pigs/Luke's Wall," starts things off with a slow moving bang before giving way to the snappy classic "Paranoid," the band's signature song. The accoustic "Planet Caravan" will never be mistaken for Led Zeppelin, but it leads into the ultimate dinosaur rock anthem "Iron Man." Side two contains mostly lengthy jams with lyrics as ridiculous as titles like "Jack the Stripper" and "Rat Salad" would indicate.Overall, "Paranoid" is remarkable period piece awaiting discovery by a generation who only know Ozzy as a TV dad.
