5 stars out of 5 -- "With sharper edges and nastier riffs than Sabbath's much bigger contemporaries Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, the album made it clear to any doubters that heavy metal didn't just have to be about hobbits and sports cars.", “With classic after classic, the strange, lost, almost sobbing vocals of a young Ozzy Osbourne floating over a skulking rhythm section and grim, lurching riffs.”, "Ozzy Saw Heavy Rock As a Way to Emulate the Horrors of a Fallen World...", Ranked #130 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", Included in Q Magazine's Best Gothic Albums Of All Time - "...They stamped their bombastic and doom-laden imprint on British rock forever...", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century
