In the early 1970s, an American nurse committed suicide and the Paranoid album was found on her turntable.[21] The album's possible influence in her decision to commit suicide was mentioned in the inquest, but ultimately it was decided that Black Sabbath were not to blame for her death. "A lot of the words in the songs – a lot of the moods of the songs – are aggressive," Iommi acknowledged. "Especially in the early days – Satanic, if you like ... That was the way it felt, so that was the way we played. But it got out of hand. With Paranoid in England, for instance. There was a girl found dead – a nurse she was: dead in her room with our album on the turntable going round. And it was taken to court saying that it was because of the album that she was depressed and killed herself, which was totally ridiculous, I think."[22]
In a 1982 interview with The New Music Butler claimed, "If the moral majority don't understand it they'll try to put it down, or get other people to read all sorts of things into it ...The moral majority sort of people picked up on the Satanic part of it. I mean, most of it was about stopping wars and that side of it, and some science fiction stuff. There wasn't that much Satanic stuff, and what there was it wasn't exactly for the devil or anything like that; it was just around at the time and we just brought it to people's attention." In the documentary Black Sabbath: 1970-1978, Butler expresses his frustration at how fans misinterpreted the band's lyrics, stating that "for instance, on 'Hand Of Doom' they'll pick up one sentence out of that and blow it up into this big thing, like as if we're telling everyone to go and shoot smack. The whole song is against drugs."

Wasn't this album written in icelandic, I'm pretty sure the first time they used "hopelandic" was on brackets
THis
sitting with this album on and staring into infinity
Maybe its just because I first listened to it when I was going through a rough patch. But the lo-fi aspect, and slow to mid tempo jams just sound sad to me. Great music, pretty depressing though.
