Never Say Die! - Black Sabbath
Sabbath's last studio album with Ozzy is a very mixed bag. Personally, I think it has some of the greatest songs ever of the Sabbath era, and it's an album that's neglected in terms of the Band's legacy. The title track is a fast number, and Johnny Blade has some wicked guitar work. And most people don't even believe "Air Dance" is Black Sabbath. However, Ozzy had quit before this was made, and work was done on this with another singer, which is why there's an instrumental in one place, and Bill Ward singing on another song, as Ozzy refused to sing some of the material written for Dave Walker. I have much more on that over on my Sabbath site in the timeline page.
