Down to Earth the eighth album by Ozzy Osbourne, released on October 16, 2001 (see 2001 in music). Released as an Enhanced CD, it was the long awaited follow-up to his 1995 studio release Ozzmosis. It is the only studio album to feature former Suicidal Tendencies bassist Robert Trujillo, who would then go on to join Metallica in 2003. This was also the first studio album Osbourne had ever done without the writing or performance of either Bob Daisley or Geezer Butler. Guitarist Zakk Wylde did not write any of the songs for this album. Wylde's album with Black Label Society, 1919 Eternal, was originally supposed to be called "Down to Earth", but Osbourne said it sounded "too Black Label."

The album cover was made of Osbourne's X-ray and his tattoos were superimposed.
