Down To Earth sees yet another all new line up. This time with Ozzy and Zakk returning, Robert Trujillo (Metallica) takes over on Bass and Mike Bordin (Faith No More) takes over on Drums.

I think this is only slightly better than that of Ozzmosis due in large part because it's heavier than that of the Ozzmosis. But it's still a step down from his best stuff. Overall, Down To Earth is poorly mixed and lacking in the songwriting department and I think the tracklist should have had a different order. And You Know...(Part 1) should have been dropped all together as it's pointless. The majority of the production does tend to sound muddy at times with the bass and guitars stepping on each other's toes. And Ozzy's voice at times gets buried too far in the mix to the point where he sounds non-existent. This one may have the same rating as The Ultimate Sin, but I would say that Sin is better than Down To Earth and I would definitely recommend Sin over this one.

I originally picked this album up specifically for Dreamer. But now, I can't really even listen to that song anymore. It's...ugh. I don't know what it is. I just haven't enjoyed the song at all for the past few years. With all the flaws on this album, it does have a few good songs that I find myself listening to over and over.

I absolutely hate the Album Cover.
