THE REVIEW

Here we are for a new review, this time concerning my absolute favorite artist: Ozzy Osbourne. This was Ozzy's first album after leaving his historic band, Black Sabbath, so everyone was wondering how the ultimate madman would handle this work. He pleasantly surprised everyone by creating a good solo album together with Randy Rhoads. But let's get to the album...

It starts with I Don’t Know. The track is not among the best on the album, but it provides the right energy to listen to the rest of the record. We continue with Crazy Train, which, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful songs sung by Ozzy Osbourne... We move on with a great song such as Goodbye To Romance. A very beautiful song is also Dee, but the standout track of the album (just under Crazy Train) is Suicide Solution... The album proceeds with Mr. Crowley and No Bone Movies, and they are also very enjoyable.

The disappointing part of the album, in my opinion, starts from here on... I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not up to the level of the first part. The song Revelation is nothing particularly striking, and neither are the last two songs that good.

In conclusion... this is the first album from my favorite artist Ozzy Osbourne. It's the first... not his best record, but still an album absolutely worth listening to.

The rating is actually 3.5, but we know that on DeBaser, we have to round up.

 This is Ozzy's first solo album and also his best, and just like in the following 'Diary Of Madman', the contribution and skill of Rhodes are notably felt.

 An album dominated by the guitar... and the genius of Ozzy, taking the first step towards his new career with this great 'debut,' a milestone in Ozzy's career.


By Freddy Craven

 Randy Rhoads’ guitar is exceptional, absolute, and genius in both solo and rhythmic parts.

 An album that is an absolute must-have, along with the equally stunning Diary Of A Madman, to understand and better comprehend all the Heavy Metal of the '80s.
