Some of the best classic heavy metal!
Beautiful heavy album. Reign in Power Ozzy.
This album is beautifully heavy. A classic
At first I didnt like it but thats because i listened with the expectation of it sounding like OK Computer. when it didnt sound like alternative rock i was immediately turned off of it until i gave it a couple more tries where now i will give it a 4.
Really good album that kickstarted one of my favorite eras of music.
Great for an energy boost!
