About this album
The album is regarded as a classic, and one of the most influential of the heavy metal genre. It has been certified quadruple platinum with over four million copies in the US alone, making it Black Sabbath’s best-selling album.
The “Paranoid” single, released before the album, reached number four in the UK. Pushed by its success, the album hit number one in the UK, and is the only Black Sabbath album to have done so. The US release was held until January 1971, as the Black Sabbath album was still on the charts at the time of Paranoid’s UK release. The album broke into the top ten in the US in March 1971, and would go on to sell four million copies in the US alone, with virtually no radio airplay. Paranoid’s chart success in the US allowed the band to tour there for the first time in December 1970. This spawned the release of the album’s second single “Iron Man”, and although it failed to reach the top 40, “Iron Man” remains one of Black Sabbath’s most popular songs.
The album was again panned by music critics of the era. However, modern-day music critics are much more favourable towards the album than those of the time. An example is Allmusic’s Steve Huey, who cites Paranoid as “one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time”, which “defined the sound and style of metal, more than any other record in history”.

Purzel_PadauZ Their first four albums are some of the best ever recorded. And this one is the best among these four, it's a real masterpiece and I don't care if Iron Man or Paranoid are hyped, they are 2 of the greatest songs ever written.
