Several tracks stand out as rock classics: "She's The Woman;" "Blood and Fire;" "As Is;" "Big River;" "You and Your Blues;" and the should've-been-the-album's closer, "St..."  [+]  Reply

"To be honest... I'm definitly no Ozzy Osbourne Fan, but this Album is great. Jake E. Lee Plays a helluva guitar but most important… It's the Ozzy record with the best songwriting"  Reply
