Totally agree. It's pretty bad and goofy most of the time, but it's nowhere near "worst metal album of all time" like some say. It's got some good moments.
When using a website like RYM, I'm rating all music against all other music. Therefore, 90% of metal, which I love, is in the 4 star and higher area. This album itself gets a 4.5 there. However, this website is strictly metal. It would be pointless to transfer my ratings exactly and just give everything super high ratings, and to judge the albums here against albums that are not here. Therefore, I rate albums here against other metal. 3 stars here means: probably a fantastic album in the grand scheme of things, but as far as metal goes, it's above average.

Really agree with you here. I think Paranoid is a great album, all music considered, but it pales to a lot of metal that came afterwards.
Yes and no.
