Black Sabbath - Paranoid: 7.5 (high B+)

 

I also considered picking up the comp Sold Our Soul, but it has 8 out of 17 tracks from this and the debut, both of which I have. Vol. 4 gets 4 tracks, Master of Reality gets 2 tracks, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage each have only 1 track (and there's one non-album track rounding out the 17 tracks). There's a best of from 2000 on Sanctuary that might be a better option. Or maybe The Ultimate Collection (2016). They basically have the same track listing, minus 6 and 5 unique songs (out of 32 or 31), respectively. Because they have almost double the tracks of Sold our Soul, they put more from albums 3 through 6 on there. Here are the differences:

Ultimate 
"Changes" - Vol. 4
"Rat Salad" - Paranoid
"Rock 'n' Roll Doctor" - Technical Ecstasy
"Behind the Wall of Sleep" - Black Sabbath
"It's Alright" - Technical Ecstasy

Best of
"Planet Caravan" - Black Sabbath
"Supernaut" - Vol. 4
"Don't Start (Too Late)" - Sabotage
"Heaven and Hell" - Heaven and Hell
"Turn Up the Night" - Mob Rules
"The Dark/Zero the Hero" - Born Again

Note that Ultimate has only tracks from the Ozzy albums..
