Full review
I only ever buy compilation albums to get into a band. After that, I only buy original stuff. WSOSFRAR was my first ever Sabbath album, and it made Black Sabbath my favorite band overnight.

When the rain and thunder of Black Sabbath's intro came blasting down my headphones, followed by Tony's heavy guitar, I almost fell off my chair. My parents aren't great rock fans, so I'd never heard anything like this before. I LOVED IT!

Ozzy's traditional wailing voice really adds to the heavy feel of the music on this album. The compilations features all the band's early classics, such as Paranoid, Black Sabbath, Children of the Grave (my absolute hands-down fave) and Iron Man. All great fans of the good-old Ozzy days would love this album.

Listen carefully to the lyrics on the album, and any half-sentient amoeba will realise that there's a message to be taken from them. Many of the songs on the album feature, or are, references to Ozzy's drug addiction. For instance, Snowblind, The Wizard, and Sweet Leaf, where Ozzy sings of the effect drugs have on him, and what he experiences when he takes drugs. Deep :-)

The cover sucks. Sorry, guys, but it does. I know it's just a comilation, but you could have done something better than just plain text on a black background! Or is that the desired effect..?

If you love Ozzy, get this album.
