Rat Salad will always be my favorite haha. Might as well put the entire Paranoid album as one of my favorite metal albums of all time. Oh, for sure. It's such a classic.

Sabbath basically started Heavy Metal as its own distinct genre and decades later they're still doing it better than pretty much anybody else. You listened to their 13 album? I was very impressed by good ol' Iommi riffs and licks. I'm also happy that they didn't can the album after the cancer scare that happened. I'm actually listening to it right now.

A lot of the riffage seems like a call back to their earlier work. I kind of wish it were a bit dirtier sounding like Paranoid, but arrangement, instrumentals, even lyrical content feels like they're trying to bring back that earlier bluesy sound.
