Blizzard Of Ozz is the debut album of Ozzy Osbourne fresh off
from his stint with Black Sabbath. It's also the debut of Guitar
God Randy Rhoads who left then, little known Quiet Riot to join
up with Ozzy and company. Rounding out the album is Bob Daisley
on Bass and on Drums is Lee Kerslake. For the tour, Rudy Sarzo
(Quite Riot) would take over on Bass and Tommy Aldridge on
Drums.
Blizzard is loaded with instant classics from top to bottom from
I Don't Know to Crazy Train to Goodbye To Romance to Mr. Crowley
to Revelation (Mother Earth). And Randy gets to shine on the
acoustic gem Dee, which is a tribute to his Mother Delores. Also
on Blizzard is the very controversial Suicide Solution, which
has been blamed for the suicide of a 14 year kid who shot
himself after listening to Ozzy records.
It's strange, but I wasn't so much a fan of Ozzy, as I was of
Randy. I worshiped him when Blizzard and Diary Of A Madman came
out. I think I worshiped Randy more than I did Eddie Van Halen
at the time. There are so many great riffs on this record
courtesy of Randy. This is one of the earliest albums that I
literally tore apart learning as much as I could on the guitar.
I have to point out that now days, I prefer the live version of
Crazy Train found on the Tribute album. One listen to that and
you will hear why Randy was such a great performer live and that
it just makes the studio version pale in comparison.
I absolutely recommend this to anyone that has never picked it
up. But be wary, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne pulled a fast one on
unsuspecting fans for the 2002 reissue wherein they replaced the
Bass and Drum parts with then bandmates Robert Trujillo
(Metallica) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More). Did they really
think that fans wouldn't object to this? Not cool at all. Ozzy
has said that he had nothing to do with removing the parts. I
tend to believe him because Sharon is the puppet master and most
likely the one lay all the blame on.
Fave Songs: All of 'em. Co-MVP goes to...Crazy Train and Mr.
Crowley. Album cover is classic. Somebody actually put some
thought into the making of this one. I can't say the same for
his next 2 album covers though.
Final note: It's mind boggling that this album is not on Rolling
Stones 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Not only does it belong
on the list, I personally have it in the Top 20 of all time.
This is just further proof that Rolling Stone is clueless about
all things music.

Diary Of A Madman is a fantastic follow up to Blizzard. Even
though Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were in the touring band at
the time, they did not play on the album, even though they are
credited as so. It's still the same lineup for Blizzard
performing on here. This is also the last album with Randy
Rhoads before his life was cut short to a freak plane crash
while on tour. He accomplished so much, leaving a lasting legacy
with both albums. Amazing guitar player and musician.
As before, both the Bass and Drum parts were removed and
replaced with Robert Trujillo (Metallica) and Mike Bordin (Faith
No More) for the 2002 reissues.
I highly recommend picking up Diary Of A Madman. It's an amazing
record. If you do decide to actually give this one a shot, keep
in mind that they are re-releasing both Diary and Blizzard as a
2 disc Deluxe 30th Anniversary Editions with demos, rarities and
previously unreleased live material sometime in 2011. The good
news is that the Deluxe Editions has the original masters, with
both Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake's Bass and Drum parts
reinserted.
Fave Songs: Over The Mountain, Flying High Again, You Can't Kil
Rock And Roll, Tonight , S.A.T.O. and Diary Of A Madman. Co-MVP
goes to Diary Of A Madman, Flying High Again and Tonight. The
outro guitar solo in Tonight is one of my all time faves ever.
The harmonic squeals are goosebumps inducing.
The album cover is not one that I'm too fond of. It's too
cartoonish to my liking. Yes, it's classic in the sense that
it's identifiable as an Ozzy album. Clearly he is having fun and
it's showing his sense of humor. But I seriously doubt that if
he were to make this album today, they would not go in this
direction for the cover.

This is NOT a review
[/CENTER]
Yep. It's true. I don't have Bark At The Moon. I know some of
the songs from here, but I never got the album back when it
dropped and I have never bothered picking it up in Secondhand
stores, even though I see the CD's in the bargin bins all the
time.
Only thing I know about this one is that it's Jake E. Lee's
first album with Ozzy since the passing of Randy Rhoads. But he
wasn't the first to succeed him. That honor goes to Brad Gillis
(Night Ranger) who took on guitar duties during the same tour
that took the life of Randy.
Another very interestintg story that I've heard for years is
that Jake wasn't even Ozzy's first choice for Bark At The Moon.
He actually had 2 choices, Jake and George Lynch (Dokken). He
chose George initially and then later decided to go with Jake.
The rest is history. I've always wondered how differently things
would have been had George stayed with Ozzy .....We will never
know.
Rounding out the band was Bob Daisley on Bass, Tommy Aldridge on
Drums and Don Airey on Keyboards.
First time my Mom ever heard the song So Tired, she was like
"that's Ozzy?" She liked the song and gave me her approval to
listen to him whereas before she was against it because of the
satanic connotations of Ozzy's personae.

[/CENTER]
The Ultimate Sin, originally titled Killer Of Giants, is the
last album to feature Jake E. Lee on guitars. On Bass is Phil
Soussan and on Drums is the mighty Randy Castillo, with Mike
Moran on keyboards.
I picked this album up for one reason and one reason only: Shot
In The Dark. It was the best f*cking song I had heard in a long
time when it hit. The main riff and the little bridge before the
solo was so damn cool with the slides. The entire song just
kicked ass and I found a new guitar god to worship in Jake. I
was aware of him with Bark At The Moon, but because I never
picked it up, I was still in the dark about him as a player.
The album as a whole is definitely in the mold of Glam Metal,
very pop-centric and in line with other Hair bands of the day
(KISS, Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, etc...). The production/mix I
think fails in large part because of Producer Ron Nevison. It's
no secret how much I hate the guy and what he did on KISS (Crazy
Nights) 1987, which I consider to be one of the worst KISS
records ever.
I have to clarify that I don't hate the songs on The Ultimate
Sin. And the guitar playing by Jake is nothing short of f*cking
awesome. My bone of contention is in the production, sound wise.
So, do I recommend this one? It's hard to say. If you want rip
roaring solos and tasty riffs, then hell f*cking yeah pick it
up. But a Pop-Ozzy may be a bit much and the mix is something
you will have to consider in the long run. The man himself has
disowned the album all together, to the point of actually
removing it from his catalog. So, take from that what you will.
Jakes ferocious guitar playing gives this a much higher rating
than it should get with Nevison's horrid production.
Fave songs: The Ultimate Sin, Lightning Strikes and Shot In The
Dark.
FYI, that's Dweezil Zappa in the Shot In The Dark video for
those that have never seen the video before. And if you don't
know who Dweezil is, then I suggest you turn in your music
credentials at the door on the way out. The album cover ftw!!
I've always loved the artwork for this one.

Tribute is a Live, double album featuring Randy Rhoads. Normally
I wouldn't add Live albums to a Poll that's asking what the
Greatest Album of All Time is, as it's usually for studio
releases. But Tribute absolutely belongs in the Poll for 3
reasons. 1) Randy Rhoads. That alone is enough to get it onto
the list of Greatest Of All Time. 2) It's the best Live album
ever. 3) This album is the reason why Jake E. Lee quit Ozzy's
band.
The first 2 are self explanatory. Now, about the
Jake-quitting-the-band-over-this-album story. It really depends
on who is telling the story. For years it's always been quoted
as fact. But I can't really say with certainty if it's actually
why he quit. But the story I keep hearing over and over is that
immediately after The Ultimate Sin tour wrapped, Ozzy and
company were set to start their follow up album, only for Ozzy
to get sidetracked with putting together Tribute, in honor of
his best friend Randy Rhoads.
Ozzy became so consumed with doing it right ,that pretty much
everything else was put on hold. Jake apparently didn't like
this and got increasingly frustrated with trying to work with
Ozzy on their own material, eventually just throwing in the
towel and walking away. It's unfortunate that he chose to leave,
because this was the pinnacle of Jake's career.
As for Tribute the Live concert, it's just an amazing
performance by everyone involved, including Rudy Sarzo on Bass
and Tommy Aldridge on Drums. Like any concert release before and
after, it's not "complete". This album isn't from 1 show, but
taken from 3 different shows. Personally I could care less if it
were from 20. It's just f*cking awesome.
And rounding out the album is a studio outtake of Randy working
on his soon to be classic song Dee. For me this was the first
time I had ever heard the man speak. So to hear him making
suggestions about the song was pretty cool for me to hear.
Steal Away is for you drummers out there. Tommy's drum solo is
f*cking wicked cool. The double bass work is unparalleled. Fancy
feet indeed. But the highlite for me is the extended guitar
solo from Randy on Suicide Solution. Unf*ckingbelievable.
I mentioned before that to me the best version of Crazy Train is
found on here. One listen to this one and it's very hard to go
back to the original studio version and something that still
holds true for me to this day.
Fave Songs: All of 'em. Co-MVP goes to.....Crazy Train and
Suicide Solution. Duh.
The album cover f*cking kicks ass!! The back cover kicks ass!
The Gatefold kicks ass! The inner sleeves kick ass! And if you
try to take this particular vinyl off my hands, be certain I
will kick your f*cking ass!!

[/CENTER]
No Rest For The Wicked is the debut of Ozzy's longest tenured
axe slinger Zakk Wylde. Returning on skins is Randy Castillo and
long time Ozzy collaborator, Bob Daisley on Bass. Rounding out
the album is John Sinclair on Keyboards. Geezer Bulter (Black
Sabbath) would take over Bass on the accompanying tour as well
as making appearances in the videos.
I like Zakk and this album, but it's not perfect. I think the
problem I have at times with No Rest For The Wicked is that a
few songs are interchangable because of how Zakk plays. By that,
I mean he has a certain style of playing that resorts to
certains licks and riffs over and over. Add that to a couple of
songs that aren't strong to begin with, gives it a lower rating.
If you have already listened to Zakk's playing style previously,
you will know what I'm talking about. I think as great as songs
like Miracle Man and Crazy Babies are, Zakk really gets to shine
on the "slower" songs like Fire In The Sky and Hero because it
forces him to change his approach to playing.
As for Ozzy, his voice sounds amazing here. He definitely needed
to step up his game after going "pop" with The Ultimate Sin. The
production of the album is also a huge step up with it's
aggressive and crunchy sound.
The 2002 Remastered Edition comes with 2 bonus tracks: The Liar
and Miracle Man (Live)
Fave Songs: Miracle Man, Crazy Babies, Breaking All The Rules,
Fire In The Sky and Hero. MVP goes to Fire In The Sky
Album cover is cool.

Ozzy has peaks and valleys just like anyone in the business. But
he seems to consistently come up with masterpieces at will.
First there was Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman. Then
there was Tribute. And now here, he gives us another
masterpiece.
No More Tears is just that...a masterpiece. To me this is the
last great album that Ozzy put together. It's perfect from start
to finish and the tracklist is spot-on. It mirrors his career of
peaks and valleys taking you on a musical journey throughout.
Ozzy has never sounded better. His voice is strong and full of
gutso. Zakk Wylde's playing is blistering and full of tasty
riffs that you can build a house on. Bob Daisley returns on Bass
as well as Randy Castillo on Drums.
It's a weird thing about the making of this album. Even though
Bob played on the album, Mike Inez was technically a member of
Ozzy's band as the Bass player. And on top of that, he wrote,
hands down, the greatest f*cking Bassline ever for the song No
More Tears. Am I wrong? Hell to the f*cking no. I rank it right
up there alongside that of Under Pressure and Eyes Without A
Face. So, even though Mike wrote his signature riff, the entire
album is all Bob on Bass. Crazy.
This album has so many great songs that it's really more like a
Greatest Hits record than anything else. All the songs are tight
and sound great. This is definitely Ozzy's best sounding album
from a writing and production standpoint. I can easily put this
along side that of Blizzard, Diary and Tribute.
Fave Songs: Every last f*cking one of them. Picking a MVP is
just absolutely pointless and an exercise in futility if you ask
me. Can't just choose one...or two...or three.....I can try
though. Mr. Tinkertrain. Mama, I'm Coming Home. No More Tears.
S.I.N. Hellraiser. Road To Nowhere. Fuck, this is hard.
That's what she said.

Album cover is just so cool. Simple, yet effective in setting a
mellow mood that's nowhere indicative of what's inside on the
disc. Misdirection. Nice. That's what I was expecting when I
picked it up and got something else all together.

Ozzmosis. Ugh. I'm not really a fan of this one at all in spite
of what other fans say. Only Ozzy and Zakk return from their
last album. On board for Bass duties is the one and only Geezer
Butler (Black Sabbath) and Deen Castronovo on Drums. On
Keyboards is Rick Wakeman (Yes). Yes, THAT Rick Wakeman (pun
soooooo not intended).
There's really only a few songs that are worthy of my time and
yours. The best of course being See You On The Other Side. This
song has all the trademarks of vintage Ozzy. Everything you can
ask for is here. Perry Mason is a fantastic song to open the
album up with. And I just Want You is another great song.
Rounding out the best is Old LA Tonight. After that, the
pickings are pretty slim. Most of the songs just feel incomplete
for one reason or another. Also, the production seems lifeless
and cold here. And I think the mix for the bulk of the album is
pretty bad as well.
The 2002 Reissue comes with 2 additional bonus tracks for Whole
World's Fallin' Down and Aimee.
Fave Songs: Perry Mason, I Just Want You, See You On The Other
Side and Old LA Tonight.
Album cover is meh. Don't like it. Never have.
