This is the definitive Ozzy album for me. I’d heard it first when I was in the 10th grade. And I’ve been hooked since then. There’s a raw energy in most of the songs, which despite the overall dark and gloomy theme of the album, manages to make you feel charged up.
The bass, drums, keyboards are outstanding, and the guitaring by Zakk Wylde is absolutely out of this world.
It’s a collector’s album for me.
