2 stars The most commercial of their albums, paranoid is a psychotic blend that is heavily themed but can lean into to throw away.

Iron man is barely audible and the group including the recording made a wreck of light in the observed reference.

It is not a wonder why this group got so twisted on illegal drugs including their sound recording engineers who are island based that can be viewed as know- it- alls with the lacking of common sense. This group weeds out the obvious and to the island lineage they view the one star as most likely 5 stars but to the mainland inhabitant--island progressive related that is in progressive poor and for the most complete of individuals but for the genre that eventually was labeled metal is nothing short of efforts of time stamping a sound that for the most part was only recognized after the fact.

The album copy bought was on compact disc and released knowingly in my opinion to showcase to stay away from this island based group. The group recorded to 1 star while if the recordings were done correctly to album this group would be a definite stand out otherwise it does not transcend to modern or present day experience.

As mentioned in the previous review this group/band is performance based and was never actually labeled progressive although the modern instruments they play with can be viewed as quite progressive and there is progressive effect(s) into the voicing.
