TheAntichrist: let's settle the black sabbath debate

TheAntichrist 12.20.24	which of these 4.5's is better?
TheSonomaDude 12.20.24	paranoid for sure. I love MOR but I've NEVER understood how people could place it above paranoid.
Futures 12.20.24	stay noided
Koris 12.20.24	Master of Reality 🤘
DaveyMonsoon 12.20.24	The real answer is Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
ToSmokMuzyki 12.20.24	master btich paranoidz is weak
kkarron 12.20.24	Paranoid is so good, but it also has the normie bump (ugh, just threw up in my mouth a little saying that). Master Of Reality is the one with staying power.
kkarron 12.20.24	The important debate is that how weed Sabbath is better than speed Sabbath.
TheAntichrist 12.20.24	@davey interesting choice but not in this debate
CycleMotion 12.20.24	MoR 💪🏻
zakalwe 12.20.24	Paranoid
ArsMoriendi 12.20.24	My favorite is Sabotage, but given these 2? Master of Reality beats Paranoid
Tundra 12.20.24	I don't think I've ever heard Master of Reality I'll listen now and note thoughts on each song
ArsMoriendi 12.20.24	Sir, you have Master of Reality rated
Pangea 12.20.24	Paranoid
someguest 12.20.24	2
Tundra 12.20.24	Sweet leaf: gets carried by the riff, but the riff is big gud After forever: it's alright, would be a weaker song on Paranoid tbh.. Embryo: interlude, err ok Children of the grave: I know this song, as good as Paranoid if not better Orchid: another interlude, ok.. Lord of this World: ok this song rocks hard, definitely never heard this one before. Solitude: ok... Into the Void: I think I've heard this song once before, can vaguely remember some of these melodies. Really awesome sinister tone. Overall: it ends strong, Paranoid always seemed pretty frontloaded where as MoR seems to be more of an even spread throughout, plus interludes are actually kinda nice. The sinister feeling to Lord of this World and Into the Void are particularly pretty dope. Think those are good enough along with Sweet Leaf and Children of the Grave to say its probably better than Paranoid. Tldr; Master of Reality is bettaa @ars yeah I must have only heard it once before, liked it more this time
ArsMoriendi 12.20.24	It's funny to see someone say Paranoid is front loaded when my fave 2 songs on it are on side B (Hand of Doom and Electric Funeral)
SomeCallMeTim 12.20.24	yeah the latter half of Paranoid is easily better imo Master of Reality
Galbador 12.20.24	"The important debate is that how weed Sabbath is better than speed Sabbath". Psychedelic Sabbath for the win.
TheSonomaDude 12.20.24	paranoid is about as perfect as an album gets. MOR has those pointless ass interludes and a few weaker (def not bad) songs like "after forever"
mkmusic1995 12.20.24	If I'm being honest with myself, Paranoid.
Futures 12.20.24	totally agree sonoma. after forever is just an eh song. maybe the worst song of the classic era entirely.
StormChaser 12.20.24	Paranoid, but their best is the debut by far
StormChaser 12.20.24	and yes, SBS over both of these agreed
DrMaximus 12.20.24	Paranoid
Titan 12.20.24	Paranoid all day
ConcubinaryCode 12.20.24	Their first six albums are all ace but paranoid is beloved for a reason. Classic
DominionMM1 12.20.24	paranoid of course
DeadGuy 12.20.24	If I had to pick one to listen to right this second it would be Paranoid only because I've listened to Master like 10 million times. Master is still better though
JDubb 12.20.24	Master of reality!!!
ffs 12.21.24	theyre exactly as good as one another
Sinternet 12.21.24	both legendary, but noid is more legendary
JohnnyoftheWell 12.21.24	master of reality, and it's not remotely close tbh
kkarron 12.21.24	My important vote was not counted, so here it is: Master Of Reality
Sharenge 12.22.24	Paranoid
Jurtz 12.30.24	Master
YoYoMancuso 12.31.24	Sweet Leaf is their best song, but Paranoid is the better album overall
Gyromania 12.31.24	Debut is best, maybe. Out of these two tho, MoR clears
KingdomOfTyrant 12.31.24	Master of Reality
Frost15 01.07.25	"Debut is best, maybe." YESSSS, that's my take too. Out of these two I prefer Paranoid though
Motiv3 02.05.25	Late vote: Master of Reality
Wildcardbitchesss 02.05.25	Master of Reality, Paranoid isn’t even their second best album tbh
