Rolling Stone's 300th greatest album of all time
Great album by the grandfathers of metal. Kicking off with the coughing fit at the start of Sweet Leaf and its slow doom-laden pace. While Ozzy isn't the greatest singer, the rest of the band more than make up for it, with superb guitar and bass and fairly intricate, almost jazz-like drumming (which would become unusual for a heavy metal band). Sweet Leaf and Children of the Grave are superb, but the rest of the album is also really good and merits another listen (I usually stick to the We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll collection).
