SAVATAGE-GUTTER BALLET 1990
2 of 2 found this helpful I first heard this album on a winter afternoon in Middletown NY at the legendary Rock Fantasy heavy metal shop on 75-79 West Main Street, I was playing on one of the pinball machines and I was just the only one in the store along with Steve and the title track "gutter Ballet" caught my ear, not enough to buy it then,I was always broke, but as the years went by and the album became out of print, I started appreciating it a little more, I would hear it on Digital Cable Radio once in a while, but overall a good rock album also check out Streets..A Rock Opera released in 1991, also by Savatage.

The Ultimate Sin
1 of 2 found this helpful As a young boy growing up listening to metal in the Bronx in the mid to late 1980s, I could never find this album in my favorite record stores, ironically, it was ozzy's most succesful album/commercially accesible album. As a kid I loved it, as I got older, I started realizing this is a mediocre album compared to such greats as Blizzard Of Ozz, Bark At the Moon, and so forth. Jake E. Lee is one of the best in the genre, he gets credit for his great musicianship, Ozzy sounds tired in this album, (at the time maybe the excessive alcohol abuse) but not his best for sure. I still think Bark at the Moon is the best Ozzy album.
