Every metalhead should own this album! No if's, and's or but's about it! If you say that this is not a classic because you prefer other Ozzy albums over this one then that's one thing. But if you say that it's not a classic because you simply don't like him, then that is totally bias. One doesn't have to like Ozzy to know this is a true classic, with a guitar hero who's days were ended way too soon. The metal world was robbed of the rest of the potential that Randy had to offer.
Randy Rhodes was an incredible guitarist. I don't know that that makes this album a classic.
This album has a few very good songs. Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, and Revelation, just because the solo is so damn amazing. Ozzy is simply a bad vocalist, and brings the album down, not to mention that most of the songs are pretty unmemorable. I'd give it a 71/100, which is not classic material.

How is this the roots of metal? Black Sabbath and Judas Priest and Deep Purple are the roots of metal, and while I don't love Black Sabbath's early stuff like everyone else, I do appreciate them and what they did for metal. This really, did nothing for metal and was quite mediocre. Therefore, I will maintain my statement that this does not deserve to be a classic.
