    Ten Commandments is a compilation album by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. Released in 1990 by Priority Records and CBS Records, it contains songs from Osbourne's first four studio albums, ranging from Blizzard of Ozz (1980) to The Ultimate Sin (1986).

    Background[edit]

    Ten Commandments is a ten-track compilation from Osbourne's first couple of albums after leaving Black Sabbath – two tracks from his debut album Blizzard of Ozz, four from his second album Diary of a Madman, two from his third album Bark at the Moon, and two from The Ultimate Sin.[1] Among the tracks included are five singles, including "Crazy Train", "Flying High Again" and "Bark at the Moon".[1]

    One theory is that this CD release was shortly pulled from the shelves at music stores due to the religious right protesting the title of "Ten Commandments". Another theory is that this CD was compiled without Osbourne's consent and was ordered off shelves and returned to the record company. This release is out of print.

    Reception[edit]

    Music website AllMusic awarded Ten Commandments four out of five stars. Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised the album as "an excellent summation of Osbourne's career", describing it as "almost everything a casual fan would need from Ozzy's prime" due to the inclusion of many of the singer's "staples".[1]
