Geezer Butler: bass
Bill Ward: drums, percussion
What I enjoy the most:
This album has a spectacular sound (guitar!) and fantastic songs as well. No frills, but a great setlist. Eight tracks, with two intros, and Ozzy in terrific shape, as well as the entire band. Maybe not their best album (I would go for the first two, probably), but a very solid one with a huge impact on countless bands.
What I didn’t like as much:
There's nothing not to like about this album, honestly.
Rating 87/100
Top Tracks: Children of the Grave, Sweet Leaf.
