Blizzard of Ozz was Ozzy Osbourne's first album following his split from Black Sabbath. Following being sacked from Black Sabbath, Ozzy was in a mess, living in a hotel and trying to drink and snort himself in to oblivion - Sharon Osbourne who would eventually become his wife, decided to get him back on track and from the brink of destruction, the depressive Ozzy got his stuff together and recorded this rather enjoyable album.

A great helping hand came from Randy Rhoads who added an awesome speed to the guitar playing of the band. The only thing that this album really has in common with his earlier work of Black Sabbath is Ozzy's voice, although it does tend to stay in the top rangeof his voice for much of it. The themes are quite different with a lot less of a satanic outlook and a more moody sound, the music is gentle and melodic interspersed with amazing guitar solos.

The album has over the years caused quite a bit of controversy with several people killing themselves to the song Suicide Solution , in the US of course... ! Despite the fact that people have read into it that "suicide is a solution" it was according to Ozzy a song about how alcohol was killing yourself, considering his drinking before the album - it's quite believable!

My personal favourite track has to be Crazy Train, an excellent track which was to over-influence his next album as he would expand on it but a true gem on this album.

1. "I Don't Know" - 5:16
2. "Crazy Train" - 4:56
3. "Goodbye to Romance" - 5:36
4. "Dee" (Instrumental) (Rhoads) - 0:50
5. "Suicide Solution" - 4:21
6. "Mr. Crowley" - 4:55
7. "No Bone Movies" (Osbourne, Rhoads, Daisley, Lee Kerslake) - 3:53
8. "Revelation (Mother Earth)" - 6:09
9. "Steal Away (The Night)" - 3:28
