Not only has it got the gayest song title known to man, it's corny as fuck and one of the weakest album openers of his career! Just my opinion of course... Ozzy solo songs better than most of CD? Hmmm, try Thunder Underground, Life Won't Wait, Diary Of A Madman, S.A.T.O., Gets Me Through, The Liar, Perry Mason, Time, No More Tears, See You On The Other Side and Over The Mountain for starters. Couldn't disagree more, but to each their own and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TeeJay410 Posted February 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2020 I thought the album kicked ass and was way better than it ever had any right to be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I only didn't like 1 song (Today Is The End), and it'll grow on me I think. His best since No More Tears imo. He really needed to do something different instead of doing the same old thing with Zakk, it yielded so much better, inspired songs. But I do hope Zakk is on the next album somehow, maybe he too is gonna learn something from his album and help write better songs than he has the before. This album sounds really "fresh" Edited February 25, 2020 by StrangerInThisTown 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album sounds really "fresh" Yeah man i agree, i mean Zakk hasn't really released anything decent recently since Mafia, and with Ozzy since Ozzmosis... This really sounds fresh, modern and its Ozzy not Ozzy and Zakk. I love Zakk and all but whats right is right, BOS II had some 2 or 3 tracks ok, but apart from that...

Most of Ozzys stuff is great heavy metal but lacks emotion and soul "13" shits all over CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) The album is definitely a grower. I'm at a point where the only song I feel a bit iffy about is Holy for Tonight. And I'm starting to enjoy it too. Even the last song with Post Malone, This Is a Raid, sounds good. I like that there are melancholic songs (Ordinary Man, Under the Graveyard), some heavy songs (Goodbye, Today Is the End) and some songs that are bonkers (Scary Little Green Men, Eat Me). It's nice to have variety. Especially when it works this well together. The production could be a little different, mainly the mix could be a little less clean and more chunky/dirty maybe. But the melodies are strong and the music is good. I think the overall quality of the album is surprisingly good. I myself am very pleased with it.

I dig it, all songs sound different from one another... maybe thats why Ozzy wanted a different lineup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ozzy" is still an artist not a nostalgia act brand. Period. I'm not sure if you were responding to previous peoples posts as well as mine, but at no point did I mention anything about Sharon, the quality of Ozzy's music, or him being a nostalgia act. I actually love Ozzy and have all his stuff and BS stuff, and think the new album is very good*. I was merely pointing out that I don't think you can blame Andrew Watt for processing Ozzy's vocals, when they've been processed for 20+ years over countless albums and aren't going to age like a fine wine. *I've listened to the album now a few times now (on crappy speakers at work) and it is a LOT better than I was expecting and I really like it, with the exception of the two awful rap songs. So 9 of the songs are great. I don't get the over-produced comments (might be my speakers) but if these comments refer to a digitised sound I think this is partly a sign of the times unfortunately. Bring back room mics and early Zep style sounds all day please. I agree about the guitarist comments - some better solos etc would have been good, although funnily enough I actually really liked California Breed. Edit: Actually, re-reading your post (and the subsequent few pages) I think you were probably having a pop at GnR, not my comment. All good.

It's very basic, that one kind of embodies the cliche approach to writing he's taken over the last couple decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
