The initial riff in Wall is awesome but the rest of the song isn't that perfect imo, same goes for most songs in here, specially for Warning which I think drags a lot

@wham I don't know where you're getting "jazz rhythm section" from. I know Bill Ward was influenced by jazz but "section" entails Geezer too. Wicked World has some jazz admittedly, but either way, there's negligible amounts of jazz elements and definitely no "21st Century Schizoid Man" here.
The overriding sound I get is blues rock with harmonica and all. Paranoid is almost completely devoid of blues at least in any traditional sense. I'll admit Sabbath were doing a much heavier take on bluesy hard rock, but that's still what most of this album sounds like. Zeppelin was already doing it to name just one.
I second Gentleman's thoughts on songs. I guess my question would be what's a weak moment in Paranoid? Master of Reality (other than Embryo obv)? I compared it to those so even if this album is consistent my argument is it still can't compare.

They were very jazz influenced, the breaks and chord changes, and Ward is more jazz than most "metal" drummers, especially on extended stuff like this album and Sabotage,
I agree with the Paranoid comparison, but masters is their weakest album, that is not consistent at all, really only 6 songs, with embryo, orchid, breaking things up, Sweet Leaf is terribly dated and even corny then, lyrically of course, Children of the grave is great, as Is After forever, Lord and Into the void, solitude is another almost break so really they have 4 really great songs, 1 solid but corny song and 3 fillers, not sure how that is consistent at all.

No because people only made it a badge of honor, and put it in peoples faces when they were teenagers.

i don't think that was the point of the song though, dude just loved weed
I agree that people who use it as some kind of badge are turds, but i don't think thats the case here

It is timeless, also it is his reaction to getting high the first time, and how great it made him feel, still not one of my top 20 sabbath songs
