Ozzy Osbourne
No Rest For The Wicked

THE REVIEW

We're finally here, folks; this is history we're talking about.
Ozzy was once again looking for a guitarist to collaborate with, and a young man showed up for his audition: tall, with long blonde hair falling over his face, just nineteen years old. I'm talking about him, one of the greatest metal guitarists still around today: Zakk Wilde.

This album was a true rebirth for Ozzy, and their chemistry was immediately apparent. There's no point in singing the praises of Zakk's skill and his unique touch. Tracks like "Crazy Babes", "Devil Daughter", and "Miracle Man" immediately strike you with their melody and intriguing riffs, not to mention the guitar solos for which, in respect to Zakk, we can only bow down.
The only song I don't like as much is "Fire In The Sky"; I find it a bit predictable as a ballad, but that's just a minor personal detail, considering that from various sources, I've always heard this referred to as a great song.

Ultimately, our madman at the end of the '80s did not disappoint and remained in perfect form, but most importantly, he introduced the world to someone like Zakk Wilde, who certainly couldn't have asked for a better debut, and bestowed upon us yet another gem of his talent.
