Ive always preferred Ozzy's 80's and early 90s solo work over Black Sabbath, but this album is fantastic. A lot of riffs are a bit too sluggish and drawn out, but overall a well composed album with some great stories and messages looped in.

I've never really listened to The Stooges before, despite hearing about them and knowing who Iggy Pop is. I hear a lot of influence here on other artists that I like. It's almost like what you get if you mix George Thorogood and AC/DC. I will never listen to "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica the same again. The song "Search and Destroy" from this album has a very early Metallica vibe in the later part of the song.

A masterpiece. This album is an opera disguised as a rock album. It tells a story rife with emotion. Despite the songs working together to tell a story, each song also has the ability to stand on it's own.

The bass in this album is the best part about the entire thing. I am pretty sure the first track (La femme d'argent) is in every heist movie made in the last 20 years. This album takes you on a bit of a journey. Each track is almost a different genre, while still keeping it together. A few tracks with vocals do get a bit too repetitive and can be annoying at times.
