What a shame.

Review Score: (2/10)
This is possibly my favorite album of all time, and I am ashamed I have to give it one star. Honestly, it doesn't sound that bad and I think Ozzy's vocals are clearer than I've ever heard them. The decision, however, of removing your former bass and drum player from a recording for legal purposes is ridiculous. Ozzy or Sharon or whoever's in control has ruined the entire album and shamed the memory of Randy Rhoads as well as the band "Blizzard of Ozz" who resurected Ozzy's career. the new mix is too modern with Ozzy's current bassist and drummer and they just can't recreate the same sound. Its makes the entire album different... I also noticed they chose to omit the rare live song "You Said it All" probably because they couldn't get Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake out of the live tapes... Even the rare "You Looking at me Looking at you" has been ruined. If you haven't bought this album yet, don't do it. Go back and buy some of the new Black Sabbath releases coming out (that ozzy has no control over) and wait for this album to hopefully be discontinued and the real band restored...
