Introduction to Black Sabbath's Paranoid
00:00:31
Nicole Shine
Lou.
00:00:32
Conor
hey everyone welcome back to glenwood's music club where each week we pick an album legendary or obscure loved or not and review it in this episode we're reviewing another one of my choices uh black sabbath's paranoid it was released in september 18th 1970 it's the band's second studio album recorded June 16th through the in 1970 at Regent Sound Studios and Island Studios in London, England.
00:01:07
Conor
ah Black Sabbath's seminal 1970 album Paranoid primarily explores the themes of war, mental anguish, the horrors of nuclear conflict, and alienation.
00:01:20
Conor
Rather than the peace and love themes common in the nineteen sixty s the band drew on drew on the bleak industrial reality of their upbringing to tackle the dark underbelly of the human experience.
00:01:33
Conor
Many publications now cite Paranoid as one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time.
Paranoid's Legacy and Accolades
00:01:42
Conor
The album was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame's Definite Records section in 2006. and the Recording Academy honored Black Sabbath, a Grammy lifetime achievement award in 2019, heavily can celebrating the legacy of the paranoid album.
00:02:01
Conor
So babe, how did you find out about this album? Did you discover it or did someone introduce it to you?
00:02:10
Nicole Shine
Um, it's one of those, again, like, Dark Side, it's one of those things that have kind of always been around.
00:02:17
Conor
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:18
Nicole Shine
Um, I don't know, it's just kind of always was there. You can't remember when you first knew about it, you know mean? Because it's been around so long.
00:02:27
Conor
Yeah.
00:02:28
Nicole Shine
Like, it was recorded 10 years before I was born, so
00:02:31
Conor
Yeah, I know, right? I was there when it released. No, you aren't.
00:02:34
Nicole Shine
Um, so like, I feel like us the interesting thing is I feel like until we got together, I never really sat down and listened to this whole album, even though I heard every song on it.
00:02:48
Conor
Yeah, at one time or another.
00:02:48
Nicole Shine
You know what I mean? it's
00:02:49
Conor
Yeah.
00:02:49
Nicole Shine
It's one of those songs, it's one of those albums where it's like, you've heard every song on it, but you can't remember ever actually sitting down and listening to it until we got together, like listening to the whole thing, like in one ah sitting.
00:02:59
Conor
Yeah, no, totally. Yeah.
00:03:05
Nicole Shine
um So yeah, that's interesting.
00:03:08
Conor
Yeah, I don't recall being introduced to this album specifically as well, but I do recall being introduced to the band. um I wonder if that was the same for you. Like you remember being introduced to the band more than the album.
00:03:24
Conor
I was thinking, yeah.
00:03:25
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I feel like I heard the songs like on the radio or through just list various things.
00:03:29
Conor
Right.
00:03:33
Nicole Shine
um I think if you listen to a certain kind of music, eventually um if something is ubiquitous enough, you'll just kind of those absorb it.
00:03:44
Nicole Shine
You know what mean?
00:03:44
Conor
No, yeah, totally.
00:03:44
Nicole Shine
Yeah. introduced
00:03:45
Conor
um Yeah. Like i was saying, I was introduced to Black Sabbath rather than the album.
00:03:53
Nicole Shine
than album.
00:03:53
Conor
My cousins introduced me. And from there, I ended up just discovering this album. basically from my own um interest you know going through the catalog and stuff like that um i used to be like that when i was younger just real big on once i get into a band i just i'm like all right let's discover more and more and more but i never went past the ozzy era sabbath i don't know about you or
00:04:08
Nicole Shine
I
00:04:16
Nicole Shine
yeah no no yeah um no no offense to the
00:04:29
Conor
That's right.
00:04:35
Nicole Shine
azzie you know what i mean like
00:04:36
Conor
Yeah, I agree 100%.
00:04:38
Nicole Shine
um again rest in peace to the goat but um yeah so like I've always whenever I think Black Sabbath I think Ozzy like you know
00:04:48
Conor
Yeah, ditto. di know All right, let's get into the tracks.
'War Pigs' and its Vietnam War Critique
00:04:54
Conor
First track is War Pigs. A direct anti-war anthem written as a scathing indictment of the Vietnam War and the politicians who send innocent people to die.
00:05:06
Conor
What are your thoughts on this opener?
00:05:11
Conor
I know, right?
00:05:11
Nicole Shine
I mean, this song is classic. I mean, just that just that opening.
00:05:17
Conor
Yeah.
00:05:18
Nicole Shine
um It's probably one of the most like classic song openings of all time.
00:05:24
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:05:24
Nicole Shine
um And Ozzy was like, all right now.
00:05:28
Conor
ah
00:05:30
Nicole Shine
He cracks me up. like I'll crack up every time I hear him do that shit. like It don't matter.
00:05:34
Conor
right
00:05:35
Nicole Shine
I can hear him do that.
00:05:35
Conor
no
00:05:37
Nicole Shine
5,000 different songs, five with you know, different times, and this is always funny to me.
00:05:43
Conor
every time right um yeah there's been like a lot of war songs written over time but this one like i recognize the most um and it's funny because like the first time i heard the song it wasn't black sabbath's version it was
00:05:43
Nicole Shine
Alright, now.
00:05:46
Nicole Shine
It's a very Aussie-ism.
00:05:55
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:06:03
Conor
a cover done by Faith No More.
00:06:05
Nicole Shine
Of course.
00:06:06
Conor
Of course, which we'll get there.
00:06:07
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:06:08
Conor
We'll get there. But yeah, great song, great opener.
00:06:10
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:06:11
Conor
All right, next song is Paranoid.
Exploring Depression in 'Paranoid'
00:06:14
Conor
The title track tackles the heavy emotional toil toll of clinical depression and the mental isolation that frequently follows heavy drug use or anxiety.
00:06:25
Conor
Thoughts on Paranoid?
00:06:28
Nicole Shine
Another banger. I feel like this side one, this whole side one is like Black Sabbath's greatest hit.
00:06:33
Conor
but
00:06:36
Nicole Shine
But um yes, this um funny enough, this is the song, like, when I think Black Sabbath, I think of this song. Like, I know a lot of people, yeah, a lot of people think Iron Man.
00:06:45
Conor
like their theme song. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:49
Nicole Shine
But for me, when I think, and there when like, you think of a band or you think of Black Sabbath, you know, like, what it sound like is this song.
00:06:59
Nicole Shine
Like, I don't know.
00:07:00
Conor
Yeah, yeah. Like if you wanted to introduce someone who's never heard them before, you'd probably like pick this song, right? Yeah.
00:07:07
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I feel like everyone's heard this fucking song.
00:07:10
Conor
Right.
00:07:10
Nicole Shine
Even if they haven't, they weren't trying to hear it.
00:07:13
Nicole Shine
You know what
00:07:13
Conor
Yeah, yeah, no, totally.
00:07:15
Conor
um Yeah, I mean, this song just gets you going. You can't help but get up and move or at the very least like bob your head, you know.
00:07:19
Nicole Shine
mean? Yeah.
00:07:23
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:07:25
Conor
All right. Next song, Planet Caravan. A stark departure from the heavy instrumentation. This track acts as a psychedelic cosmic love song about floating peacefully through space.
00:07:38
Conor
Thoughts on Planet Caravan.
00:07:40
Nicole Shine
I love this song. Who covered this?
00:07:43
Conor
Pantera.
00:07:44
Nicole Shine
Yeah. I'm like, somebody covered this that I like. um this is so This is such a good song. um Yeah, there's not much i can really say about it.
00:07:55
Nicole Shine
I mean, it's different from the rest of the album.
00:07:55
Conor
Right?
00:07:55
Conor
Yeah.
00:07:59
Nicole Shine
um i like that they decided to do a more, go in a different direction, try some different things, especially with it being their second album.
00:08:08
Conor
Yeah, that's really risky for sure.
00:08:09
Nicole Shine
You know, they didn't, it wasn't like taking chances, but it worked out really well because this is a really cool fucking song.
00:08:15
Conor
Right, really paid off.
00:08:17
Nicole Shine
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:17
Conor
Yeah, I agree. Beautiful song all around. And you mentioned what i was going to mention in my critique. Like, I actually was going to say that, you know, Pantera obviously does it on their Far Beyond Driven album.
00:08:32
Conor
And, oh yeah.
00:08:32
Nicole Shine
I feel like I heard that that version first. Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:35
Conor
And i said...
00:08:35
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:08:37
Conor
that I actually listened to the Pantera's version more than the original.
00:08:42
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:08:42
Conor
Don't get me wrong, this original is good, but Pantera just does so much fucking justice to the song. Yeah, for sure. All right, next song is Iron Man.
'Iron Man': A Tale of Vengeance
00:08:54
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:08:55
Conor
a sci-fi allegory about a time traveler who and journeys to the future, witnesses the apocalypse and is turned into steel. Upon returning to the present,
00:09:08
Conor
to warn humanity he is mocked which drives him to seek vengeance and fulfill his own apocalyptic vision that's a fucking story man right there like i read that and i was like holy shit right thoughts on this one
00:09:21
Nicole Shine
yeah
00:09:24
Nicole Shine
Um, this is, of course, the song that most, this is the radio song.
00:09:29
Conor
yeah radio
00:09:29
Nicole Shine
It's the song from the radio. It's the song that people say when you ask if they like the band.
00:09:40
Nicole Shine
Okay, now I got that other got the jingle out of the way. Um, of course it's a banger.
00:09:42
Conor
Totally.
00:09:45
Nicole Shine
Of course the class it's classic. It's probably the most classic guitar riff of all time. I'm trying to think of a more iconic.
00:09:52
Conor
It's up there. Are we talking just Black Sabbath or everyone?
00:09:53
Nicole Shine
time I'm talking about everyone.
00:09:57
Conor
Oh, God. Maybe smoke on the water.
00:09:59
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it's it has to be a tie between this and Smoke on the Water. Yeah.
00:10:03
Conor
Yeah, because everyone fucking knows that. Like you said, regardless of what type of music you like, Like everyone's fucking heard this fucking song, you know, and they're like, oh, Black Sabbath or Ozzy.
00:10:12
Nicole Shine
yeah I think any, I don't, yeah, whatever music you like, everybody knows. dar turn er no and Like, is it doesn't matter.
00:10:22
Conor
Yep.
00:10:24
Nicole Shine
Like, and they, they can finish it. Like, you just have to start it. And I bet you, out of 10 people, 8 people will be able to finish it.
00:10:34
Conor
Oh, yeah, totally. For sure.
00:10:35
Nicole Shine
yeah. So, yeah, I mean, what else? It's Iron Man, come on.
00:10:38
Conor
Yeah, right.
00:10:39
Nicole Shine
Yeah. This is.
00:10:41
Conor
This is kind of funny. Ozzy's voice on the beginning of the song when he says, i am Iron Man, that used to freak me the fuck out.
00:10:46
Nicole Shine
you i mean Yeah, yeah
00:10:50
Conor
Seriously. Like, I used to not like to listen to the first part until after his voice. Because that just, ah yeah, just freaked me out. But yeah, most notable song from the album, I think.
00:11:02
Conor
But not the best in my opinion. It's great, but yeah.
00:11:05
Nicole Shine
it's great. um Like I said, this whole side one could be It's great, you know. Yeah.
00:11:14
Conor
Yeah, everyone knows, right?
00:11:15
Nicole Shine
Like to have a great sense. Yeah. All right.
00:11:18
Conor
All right. So that would lead us to, if we're doing sides on a tape, this would be a side B start of it.
00:11:22
Nicole Shine
So, we're doing time.
00:11:26
Conor
Electric Funeral.
The Psychedelic Sounds of 'Electric Funeral'
00:11:28
Conor
A bleak and apocalyptic track focusing on the horrors of nuclear warfare, radiation, and the radioactive wasteland it creates.
00:11:37
Conor
Thoughts on this one?
00:11:38
Nicole Shine
I love this fucking song.
00:11:40
Conor
Yeah.
00:11:41
Nicole Shine
It's so good.
00:11:43
Conor
I know. i know.
00:11:46
Nicole Shine
Sissy bone. It is so good, dude. Love this fucking song, bro.
00:11:55
Nicole Shine
I'm not going to give it away yet, but I love this song. Yeah, it's real good.
00:11:57
Conor
Yeah. Yep.
00:11:59
Nicole Shine
It's real good.
00:11:59
Conor
Yep.
00:12:00
Nicole Shine
It's a... oh um I feel like Side 2 is the weaker of the two sides, but this song is a good way to start it.
00:12:11
Conor
no i hear you i hear you um my only like thing on this like i love this song too but i was like that's psychedelic wall guitar is so fucking crushing i love that i love it all right next is hand of doom a cautionary anti-drug song detailing the harsh realities of their heroin epidemic and the physical and psychological destruction of addiction thoughts on this one
00:12:12
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:12:15
Nicole Shine
Mm.
00:12:42
Nicole Shine
one i don't like so much yeah um I might be in a minority um but this one this one just doesn't compared to the rest of not even compared to the rest of the songs on the album I just this one just didn't it's kind of a miss for me um yeah what do you think
00:12:45
Conor
Really? Okay.
00:13:01
Conor
Didn't hit.
00:13:05
Conor
Right on. I fucking love the the funky drum beat. Like that drum beat is like funky drum is just so good I love that shit I can't say yeah know yeah oh I love that and then like midway the song changes tone and feels like a different song but it's still the same song then it goes back to that it's pretty cool right yeah
00:13:13
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it's the funky drum beat. Yeah, i know.
00:13:27
Nicole Shine
You know, a lot of songs on this album do that. Where they are start start differently or they go into something different and come back. Yeah.
00:13:35
Conor
I'm glad you noticed that like normally that'd be jarring but it's pretty damn cool
00:13:36
Nicole Shine
Hmm.
00:13:41
Conor
Pretty damn cool.
00:13:41
Nicole Shine
Hmm.
00:13:42
Conor
All right.
Closing with 'Fairies Wear Boots'
00:13:43
Conor
Next song, a Rat Salad. An instrumental track acting as a musical showcase that features a massive drum solo by Bill Ward serving as a brief jam session rather than a lyrical narrative.
00:13:58
Conor
Thoughts on Rat Salad?
00:13:59
Nicole Shine
okay So this is an instrumental.
00:14:01
Conor
Yes.
00:14:02
Nicole Shine
we've been had ah We've had this conversation in the past two or three albums.
00:14:03
Conor
Instrumental. Yes.
00:14:06
Nicole Shine
um
00:14:06
Conor
Yes, we have.
00:14:07
Nicole Shine
um But yes, this is an instrumental. i would consider So this is what I would consider instrumental. it's a performance of music from the band, it just doesn't have lyrics.
00:14:18
Conor
Yeah.
00:14:19
Nicole Shine
As opposed to an interlude, which is just, it's like noise or talking or something like that.
00:14:24
Conor
Yeah.
00:14:25
Nicole Shine
um That being said, again, this one, this is just kind of misses for me too, a little bit.
00:14:32
Conor
Yeah.
00:14:32
Nicole Shine
Sad to say, I do, I don't have anything against, I actually like instrumentals, but um yeah, this one just, it's kind of a miss for me.
00:14:32
Conor
yeah
00:14:43
Nicole Shine
just doesn't, Mm-hmm.
00:14:46
Conor
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:46
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
00:14:48
Conor
um Yeah, I agree.
00:14:49
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
00:14:51
Conor
Like, it's a good instrumental slash jam session and ah way to show off the band's talents, you know? If I'm being honest, I'd probably skip this one when listening to the album.
00:15:03
Conor
um The guitar, though, actually one of the first things I learned on guitar from one of my instructors, so it does hold up place in my heart because of that, though, so... Yeah,
00:15:21
Conor
Yeah, that's good stuff.
00:15:22
Nicole Shine
That's good stuff.
00:15:24
Conor
That's good stuff. A little something there for our listeners. All right. Last song on the album, Fairies Wear Boots. A satirical jab at drug culture. The lyrics were inspired by a real-life hallucination the band experienced after a night of heavy drinking, And using marijuana.
00:15:42
Conor
Thoughts on fairies wear boots?
00:15:44
Nicole Shine
Alright, we are back to the bangers.
00:15:46
Conor
Yeah.
00:15:47
Nicole Shine
um I love this song as well. That funk, that like... I don't know.
00:15:54
Conor
Yeah. Yeah. Don't. don't ah
00:15:58
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I really, really like this fucking song.
00:16:01
Conor
Right.
00:16:01
Nicole Shine
um Again, it's a song I've always heard, but just, you know.
00:16:08
Conor
Yeah.
00:16:08
Nicole Shine
yeah Yeah, so is i like it's a good way to end the album.
00:16:09
Conor
Yeah.
00:16:13
Nicole Shine
I really, really like it. um Again, love the groove. It's very groovy.
00:16:19
Conor
right yeah
00:16:20
Nicole Shine
it's it' To me, it was it really doesn't even give metal. it gives It's very groovy, you know?
00:16:24
Conor
yeah this album has a lot of good groove you know to it for sure um yeah i said the same thing like good closing song um i dig the guitar a lot um but yeah good closer to the album all right so favorite and least favorite songs what's your favorite
00:16:28
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
00:16:44
Nicole Shine
So my favorite is probably going to be a Electric Juno.
00:16:50
Conor
Nice.
00:16:51
Nicole Shine
Again, like i didn't want to give it away when we were talking, but I love that fucking song.
00:16:55
Conor
You kind of did when you sat back.
00:16:56
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:16:57
Conor
cause i was hu
00:16:59
Nicole Shine
I did i really like the song. um
00:17:02
Conor
Least favorite.
00:17:04
Nicole Shine
Probably Hand of Doom.
00:17:06
Conor
Really? Okay.
00:17:07
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it's funny that the favorite and least favorite are right next to each other. um
00:17:11
Conor
Yeah.
00:17:12
Nicole Shine
Again, um yeah i like i even like the instrumental of Ratsala, I think, better than Hand of Doom.
00:17:20
Conor
Wow.
00:17:21
Nicole Shine
Hand of Doom just really didn't do it for me.
00:17:24
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:17:24
Conor
Okay.
00:17:25
Nicole Shine
Mm-hmm.
00:17:25
Conor
No, totally.
00:17:26
Conor
um Yeah, my favorite is, yeah Electric Funeral. I had like three of them written down, but I was like, all right, I got to put these in order. So, yeah, I'm just saying an Electric Funeral.
00:17:39
Conor
um And it's funny because when I was younger, it was probably like, probably Iron Man like everyone, you know? Um, but I think that was more just because everyone liked it or whatever, you know, but then I started really listening to the album and I'm like, Oh my God, there's so much better shit on here.
00:17:51
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:17:55
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:17:56
Conor
Um, least favorite is rat salad. Yeah. I mean, that's a good instrumental. It definitely has some awesome showcasing of bill wards, drum mob ability and all that stuff and everyone jamming.
00:18:08
Conor
But if I'm listening to it, I would probably skip that one.
00:18:10
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:18:13
Conor
But, um,
00:18:14
Nicole Shine
You're not a fan of the instrumental.
00:18:17
Conor
It's weird. I know I'm going to get to an album where I do like instrumental stuff, but we're going to have Yeah.
00:18:21
Nicole Shine
We're going to classical jazz album one day where it's like nothing but instrumental. Kind of like the whole album is skit.
00:18:25
Conor
So I can.
00:18:27
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:18:28
Nicole Shine
wow. I do like a classic.
00:18:28
Conor
Oh, God.
00:18:28
Conor
No, I do like instrumentals. I swear.
00:18:31
Nicole Shine
this
00:18:32
Conor
ah swear. All right. So does it hold up?
00:18:36
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I thought of a new ah ah new question.
00:18:39
Conor
Okay.
00:18:39
Nicole Shine
Because I feel like, like I said, we mostly are picking albums. We're going back and forth and picking albums that you know we like. Each one of us likes each each week. so um And we're picking pretty good albums.
00:18:53
Nicole Shine
I think in our heart of hers hearts, we just don't want pick shitty albums.
00:18:54
Conor
Yeah.
00:18:57
Nicole Shine
but um So i've I've thought of a question that would probably be more of a conversation starter.
00:19:06
Conor
OK.
00:19:06
Nicole Shine
um So what I had thought was, if you had never heard any other albums or songs from the band, would this album make you want to explore more of their material?
00:19:20
Conor
Oh, yeah, that's good.
00:19:22
Nicole Shine
So say you never heard any Black Sabbath other than you sat down and you listened to this for the first time.
00:19:24
Conor
Yeah.
00:19:28
Nicole Shine
Would this make you want to like dig deeper into their catalog or explore more of their music?
00:19:31
Conor
Okay.
00:19:34
Conor
No, I like that. That's good because, yeah, we might be doing reviews on some albums from bands. Excuse me, gosh. Where, yeah.
00:19:45
Conor
Yeah, I would say so for this album, yeah. I gotta be like, oh shit, what are they about? Let's see what else they got. um
00:19:53
Nicole Shine
yeah I think i think by the sheer um variety like the fact that they kind of did some um some experimenting or you know it would probably make me a little curious as to um
00:20:04
Conor
Yeah.
00:20:09
Nicole Shine
Hey, what else do these guys have? You know what I mean?
00:20:11
Nicole Shine
As opposed to...
00:20:11
Conor
Right?
00:20:12
Conor
yeah
00:20:13
Nicole Shine
um Because I feel like even if I've never heard a Black Sabbath album, I've heard War Pigs, I've heard Paranoia, heard Iron Man. But the other, like, Planet Caravan, Electric Funeral, Fairies Wear Boots, it would kind of make me curious, like, man, what else are these guys giving?
00:20:32
Conor
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:32
Nicole Shine
You know what I mean? Besides if I hadn't heard any there of their other albums.
00:20:37
Conor
Right? Because cause you were saying like you were high on the first floor, you know first half of the album.
00:20:37
Nicole Shine
Um...
00:20:42
Nicole Shine
o
00:20:42
Conor
So that right there, you're going to be like, oh shit, let's hear if some of the other albums are the same. Yeah.
00:20:49
Nicole Shine
yeah and they they invented metal i mean with their um i like their first album like it has more of a a special place in my heart because i feel like it's the album that invented metal you know i mean like
00:20:51
Conor
Yeah.
00:20:57
Conor
yeah
00:21:06
Conor
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:09
Nicole Shine
they un invented a fucking genre. And I feel like with this album, it was like, seemen it was defining it.
00:21:16
Conor
Yeah.
00:21:16
Nicole Shine
Like the first one kind of, because this was only a year later. So I like the first one kind of invented it And the second one was like, we said what we said.
00:21:24
Conor
ah that
00:21:25
Nicole Shine
um We said what we said. um This is what it, yeah, this is what it is.
00:21:27
Conor
And we're going to it again
00:21:30
Nicole Shine
And this is what you're getting. So yeah.
00:21:33
Conor
This is the exclamation point after we said what we said.
00:21:34
Nicole Shine
Yeah. So yeah.
00:21:37
Conor
That's funny. All right, go through the album ranking system.
00:21:41
Nicole Shine
all Alright. So, our album ranking system. We go based on skips. um ah Zero skips is a no notes perfect album.
00:21:54
Nicole Shine
One skip is a mulligan. Everyone gets one. um Even the most perfect of albums can have something where, you know, they might have done something on a song and it just doesn't quite hold up.
00:22:06
Conor
Or took a chance like Black Sabbath did with playing Caravan, but it was a good one.
00:22:06
Nicole Shine
Yeah, it just...
00:22:10
Nicole Shine
Yeah, where um it just doesn't quite do it for you.
00:22:10
Conor
Sorry.
00:22:11
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:22:15
Nicole Shine
But, you know, the other other songs, all every other song is just undeniable. um Two songs is classic. two good it's Still better than the majority of albums. It's still in the top of its class.
00:22:30
Conor
Mm-hmm.
00:22:31
Nicole Shine
um Three skips is good. Four skips is mid. Here I go. Five skips is ass.
00:22:38
Conor
Yes.
00:22:39
Nicole Shine
And six plus gifts is trash. um And for double albums, just double the number. And that is our ranking system.
00:22:53
Conor
Nice. So what would you rank it?
00:22:54
Nicole Shine
So based on our ranking system, I'd have to give it a classic for me. um i'm going to I'm going to skip Hand of Doom. And if I'm being honest, I'm going to skip Rap Solid.
00:23:12
Nicole Shine
But every other song is a definite play. So I'm going to give it a classic.
00:23:17
Conor
nice that's i mean that's totally yeah i agree with that um mine would just be a mulligan and obviously don't laugh i'd skip rat salad yeah yeah you know you knew yeah yeah that's true that's true but um
00:23:30
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I know. I know. Well, you said you was skipping.
00:23:37
Nicole Shine
So yeah know you're you're a much um knowledgeable about Black, more knowledgeable about Black Sabbath than I am.
00:23:47
Nicole Shine
So I normally do the, where does this rank in my album?
00:23:47
Conor
Yeah.
00:23:52
Nicole Shine
But since you are more knowledgeable of their albums than I am, where would you rank this?
00:23:56
Conor
Ooh. Gosh.
00:24:01
Conor
I'm just going to go in terms of their albums. um
00:24:08
Nicole Shine
And you can just do the Ozzy ones if you don't know the other. Yeah.
00:24:11
Conor
Yeah.
00:24:11
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:24:11
Conor
i Yeah. Sorry, Ronnie James Dio.
00:24:13
Nicole Shine
Sorry. But.
00:24:15
Conor
But um gosh, out of all the Sabbath albums, Ozzy Sabbath albums, this would probably be my, um probably my second or third.
00:24:27
Nicole Shine
Yeah.
00:24:29
Conor
Yeah. um I think first would be Black Sabbath, the first one.
00:24:34
Nicole Shine
Yeah, I mean that Black Sabbath, the song is, yeah, it's probably, it's one of my, it's on my, we, we're such nerds.
00:24:36
Conor
isn't it o God, it's so good.
00:24:44
Nicole Shine
We did a list of our favorite, like 200, was it? Favorite out songs of all time.
00:24:48
Conor
Hey, I'm proud of that list. That's right.
00:24:51
Nicole Shine
And it's definitely on my, on my list. I love that fucking song.
00:24:55
Conor
Like, if fucking the ground was going to rip open and Cthulhu was going to come out, I'd expect him to be playing that shit coming out, you know?
00:25:04
Nicole Shine
Throwing up the horns.
00:25:05
Conor
Yeah. Like, if we're going to die by Cthulhu, I'd want to hear that song, you know?
00:25:12
Nicole Shine
Yeah, that's like his theme song.
00:25:14
Conor
It really is.
00:25:14
Nicole Shine
like it it's It's undeniable, that fucking song.
00:25:19
Conor
It really is. And it's so slow, but it's so fucking heavy, you know, which is hilarious. But yeah, it'd be, it'd probably would be my second favorite album from Ozzy Sabbath. And my third would be, um, was it volume four?
00:25:35
Conor
Yeah. Volume four. We'll have to do that one later, but, um, yeah. All right. Well, that'll do.
00:25:41
