Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.9/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Kill off the last track and you have a reasonable album, opening two tracks the best here.

Não inova no rock, mas gostei da coragem de meter um hip hop! Ozzy não tem medo!
One thing I did notice is this album has a very high (and clean) production level. This is not a 'let's make an album before it's too late' album either; this sounds like Ozzy at the top of his game. The songs are good, Ozzy sounds fine and there is some great playing on here.
The first two songs ('Straight to Hell' and 'All My Life') are very good and the guitars in both are a highlight. For a slow track, the guitars wail in 'Goodbye' too. Oh wow, and then the track kicks into a fast tempo about half way through. I love the theatrics and change-ups in 'Under the Graveyard'. This is a belter of a song. 'Today is the End' has a bloody catchy chorus. The rest of the song is has some great sounds. A nice contrast. 'It's a Raid' is different… and full on. What a cool track. Love the driving riffs. I did not like the last track, which is not really an Ozzy track anyway. Not sure why it is on here.
But in all, some of this has to rank up there with his best solo work.
Wow, after writing this I just had a look at the players on this LP. Many of my favourites. Duff McKagan on most songs (as bass and writer). I see none of them were listed for the last track ;)
Same special voice, solid tracks, a good album overall.
