the bass and drums may be badly recorded - in true 80s metal fashion - but the parts and the playing are great. and robbing people of their credit for that playing is shitty.

I still can't get over how offensive the rerecorded album is. Mike Bordin isn't even in the same league as Lee Kerslake...one listen to his limp drum fills at the beginning of "Over the Mountain" is all you need.

That said, the original version of the album is a flat-out classic. "Believer" remains my favourite Ozzy tune.
