1. Awesome!

My uncle got me this album for Christmas my sophomore year of HS.
I was still mostly a jazz piano kid who liked rock.
That first song comes on and I hear that riff.
I heard that flatted 5th like it was a siren. I thought "You can use flatted 5ths in rock? I'm in!"
Was an immediate fan.
If you haven't seen "The End Of The End" you should. It's a rockumentary on both their history & the lead up to their last ever show in Birmingham. It's superb. Any Sabbath fan will dig it.

2. This was an eye opener for me, too. The album is still listenable and fun.

3. You Bet!

It's every song, too.
They do a "messing around" version of The Wizard the day after the concert in that movie.
It's still a cool song.

4. Shows Ozzy's natural born timing. Something Sinatra was genius at.

5. Whatever it is, it works. Put his time in to get there paid off.
