Pretty nice. I like it.

I'd give it a wholehearted 'eh' :(

I heard this on the radio, it's decent enough but we all know that Sabbath is where it's at for Oz. (Yeah, yeah, and the Randy Rhoads stuff too.)

The 80's are where it's at for Ozzy.

I'm a huge Ozzy fan, but every time I've seen him he's gotten worse and worse.

He always at least does pretty great singles, even in the 90s and today. This is kind of, well, not great, though. It's just okay.

Ozzy is usually best when paired with a great guitarist. Zach is amazing, but I want to hear him with Iommi one more time. Sabbath is touring with Dio this summer, but damn...I want one last Ozzy helmed Sabbath CD :(

Post by: Error Macro on May 20, 2007, 09:35:27 PM: Ozzmosis had Perry Mason and See You on the Other Side. Oh, and that b-side, Whole World's Fallin' Down. After that, just hasn't been the same. Either that, or my Ozzy period is well over.

Post by: demi on May 20, 2007, 09:39:30 PM: I'm listening to the CD -- "Silver" is a great song to play on Guitar Hero.

I Just Want You is a good song. I also like Gets Me Through from that album after Ozzmosis.

Post by: Error Macro on May 20, 2007, 09:49:45 PM: I forgot about Gets Me Through. Yeah, that was pretty good. The rest of Down To Earth was forgettable.

I shudder to think how many hours of work went into Pro Tools trying to get Ozzy's voice to sound okay on this new album. Haven't critically listened to that new song, but I'd bet there's autotune all over it.

Post by: Scurvy Stan on May 20, 2007, 09:52:38 PM: I've always felt ozzy was a couple of diamonds scattered in a lot of shit. The diamonds were good enough though that you keep digging around in the shit in the hopes that you find a couple more.

Post by: Coop on May 20, 2007, 10:10:45 PM: The only good Ozzy CDs are "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of A Madman". The other albums might have one or two good singles but other than that they are shit.

:bow Randy Rhoads :bow

I think No More Tears is pretty good. It's mostly all good songs.

That song is cool till you realize he's probably singing about Sharon Osbourne :-\

That's because he has lots and lots of studio help. It's his live voice that I don't wanna hear because it just doesn't hold up any longer.

I also think it's hilarious that he has a karaoke-type screen to give him the lyrics of the songs. Songs that he wrote.

Post by: Ecrofirt on May 21, 2007, 01:59:17 PM: The only reason Ozzy's voice even sounds halfway decent on this album is because it's heavily souped up with computers.

I love the guy, but there's a problem when you're losing your voice after only singing a few songs at the beginning of your tour :( . And he lost his fucknig voice on Paranoid too. There's not really anything special going on with that song.

Post by: Tauntaun on May 21, 2007, 02:07:37 PM: forget ozzy, just saw megadeth and sabbath (a la heaven and hell w/mr. dio) on sat. Dio makes ozzy bend over and take it up the pooper.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
i love ozzy but the massive drug/alcohol abuses have caught up to him

Post by: Phoenix Dark on May 21, 2007, 02:12:48 PM: lol I agree with nearly everything TVC has said in here. No More Tears omg, Perry Mason omg.

Tautuan: Yeah, Dio is totally awesome. Although he looks fucked up, his voice is still very strong

Post by: The Fake Shemp on May 21, 2007, 02:22:39 PM: I went to the Sabbath/Ozzy reunion tour years ago and that pretty much concluded my love for Mister Osbourne. He's become a pale imitation of his former self, with his deluded, egotistical wife and painkillers slowly eroding the awesome, legit rock star he used to be.

Post by: Tauntaun on May 21, 2007, 02:38:32 PM: Heaven and Hell tour plus (I hope there'll be another) Gigantour this year + Summer Slaughterfest will be this year's best metal shows.
