Look out! It's funny how many times Ronnie Dio used that line in his career. But seriously, this record marks the beginning and end of eras for Black Sabbath. Creative differences on this album led to the departure of Ozzy and the replacement by Dio on vocals. The subsequent tour in support of this album saw the departure of drummer Bill Ward. It's got some good tracks like "Neon Knights' and the title track but make no mistake the lack of Ozzy is a glaring absence. Other tracks like "Wishing Well" are pure filler. Worth a listen or two.
