Ozzy Osbourne
Bark at the Moon

THE REVIEW

I didn't expect it,

For the first time, Ozzy has disappointed me.

There have always been fillers in his albums, but an album MADE ONLY of fillers, with only the title track to support the album, is something I've never seen before.

The third studio work after two exceptional albums, "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of a Madman", does not feature the young Randy Rhoads, who died crashing into a house with an airplane piloted by a friend during the support tour for "Diary of a Madman". Instead, it features Jake E. Lee as the guitarist, a guitarist with great technique but unable to match Randy's style. The aura surrounding this album is really unbearable, fake, and filled with effect upon effect upon effect! The only track worth mentioning, as previously stated, I think is "Bark at the Moon", a track that is not among my favorites by Ozzy, but that can be listened to with relatively open ears. An album that's too glam for Ozzy; if I wanted to listen to some decent glam, I would listen to Bon Jovi or "Trash" by Alice Cooper, not Ozzy Osbourne.

As you might have gathered, dear readers, my reviewing style is based on track-by-track, but this time it will be absent for a work of which I don't even remember the names of the songs anymore, given that the few times I listened to it, I skipped all the tracks until I returned to the beginning.

We're not there, Osbourne, you'll make up for it next time.
