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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

RIP, Prince of Darkness. Lot of more years than Randy ... What a perfect Solo-Debut. Great Opener, then the Rocket starts with "Crazy Train" and keeps on flying until "Revelation" - did not expect such a song from Ozzy.

Definitely not as good as his work with Sabbath, but there are some bangers like Crazy Train, Suicide Solution and most of all Mr. Crowley.

Rather good heavy album, but the mixing has some problems. Guitars and vocals sound quite thin and stuffy.

Obra maestra.
Randy Rhoads está impresionante a la guitarra y Ozzy muy bien en su nueva etapa en solitario. Todos los temas están a una gran altura, especialmente Crazy Train y Mr Crowley.
De los mejores trabajos que existen en el metal.

Good effort for debut solo album. The songs not quite hitting the same caliber as was done with Sabbath which shows what only part of the sum has on songwriting quality, but overall some really decent songs. Some great classical guitar seeping through on some tracks. Even with 'Crazy Train' & 'Mr. Crowley' being the go to better known songs, the final 2 tracks 'Revelation' & 'Steal Away' are my personal favorites and finish the album on a high.

A fantastic debut solo album from Ozzy, which proved he could continue to have a great career without Sabbath.

Top tracks: Crazy Train, I Don't Know, Revelation (Mother Earth), Mr Crowley

Great debut album for Ozzy. Great name, great album cover, great music. Apart from the obvious fan favourites, there are some other diamonds on this album. Let's not forget the input of Don Airey either, who sadly gets a mention so small, that you need a magnifying glass to find it on the rear of the sleeve.

A new lease on life for Ozzy & hooking up with Randy. An amazing debut & I play it often.

Solid hard rock/heavy metal album. Crazy Train is obviously a classic although I'd hardly care if I never heard it again. Randy Rhoads undoubtedly steals the album.

Not as good as Diary Of A Madman and Bark at the Moon.
