[299] he was turned to steel in the great magnetic field
It's Friday, and my brain has completely emptied itself of thoughts. I managed to get the trash and recycling taken out before going to work and that might be the height of my productivity today. I am eating a day-old blueberry muffin. I am tired and cold and the printer isn't working.
(what a silly little guy!)
Wikipedia Sez: Paranoid is the second studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released on 18 September 1970 through Vertigo Records in the United Kingdom and Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The album contains several of the band's signature songs, including "Iron Man", "War Pigs" and the title track, which was the band's only Top 20 hit, reaching number 4 on the UK charts.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Album Rock, British Metal, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal
Release Date: September 18th, 1970
Prior Familiarity: High, this thing is like 80% pop culture touchstones.
What I Did While Listening: Run, obviously. Truly would have been a waste of these sick jams otherwise. It's the only thing keeping me hanging on and feeling like a person after work, as opposed to a slug only capable of eating noodles and watching Dynamite (goddamn the Continental Classic fucking slapped, though). Except I just remembered that I didn't actually finish the album, so I will do that during my lunch break and pick this update back in the afternoon!
Verdict: Kick ass! Banger after banger, except not really, because I quite like the way most of the bigger hits are immediately followed by a more noodly comedown of a track that really lets you sit and digest what you've just taken in. Which makes it sound smarter than it is, it's really just Guitar Hero music at the end of the day, but idk, it's a really well done album with a well-earned reputation!
Favourite Song: Title track clears everything else in under three minutes, I'm afraid.
Sun go down. Still no brain. Halfway through the week! Kinda!
