I bought this album in late 05 and fell in love with it soon after hearing Mr. Crowley. Ozzy triumphantly makes an album touching on such topics as, The confusion of man kind, The releasing of a past life in all of it sorrows, As we ourselves can be the weavers of our own death through alcohol, questioning pure evil and seeing its spiraling effects on the mind, and apocalyptic visions. I would say the album's main topic is the confusion of man kind and the possibilities of what could have been, instead of the existing hatred, and destruction we live in. Which can only give birth to evil. Overall its a great album lol for some reason it reminds me of winter.
