Masterpiece. When out of 8 tracks there isn't a second to waste and when at least 6 of these tracks, one after another, are all among the most representative and valuable pieces of the band, then we are facing a record of absolute worth.

Then there’s a stunning opener like "War Pigs," the riff of "Iron Man," and my favorite from "Paranoid," which is "Electric Funeral" and its mind-bending, vomitous riff. Monolith.
