Welcome to Riffology, where a GenX and a Millennial talk about the albums from their youth. Itโ€™s more fun than it soundsโ€ฆ

RIFF057 – Black Sabbath – Paranoid
byRiffology

A discussion of Black Sabbathโ€™s Paranoid that manages to cover the essentials: melodic guitar work, enduring riffs, and the occasional existential observation about endless skies and the moon. The conversation is punctuated by more affirmations than a group therapy session (โ€œYeah.โ€) and includes a rigorous evaluation of Tony Iommiโ€™s guitar playing, described as among the most melodic ever committed to record. Proceedings end with the group apparently satisfied, a brief mention of itchy noses, and a consensus to do it all again next week. No grand conclusions, just measured appreciation and the sense that, like the album itself, some things donโ€™t require further explanation.
