The album was originally going to be called "War Pigs", which is a war protest song and the opening number, but their record company made them change it due to the sensitivity about the Vietnam War. 2 singles came from this album. Paranoid and Iron Man, which would go on to become Black Sabbath's best known songs. Paranoid peaked at #61 and Iron Man #52. This album was also ranked 130 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of 500 greatest albums of all time.
