Diary - China Crisis

Advantages: Perfect mix of melodic and harsh vocals, great lyrics, great musically
Disadvantages: None

...hand you bluntly lash" "You Burn First" is the first slower song on the cd and features raspy vocals and some dark lyrics. This song is placed well to give a break between the fast paced songs. The next song "We Are The End" kicks off with some good drumming which there is throughout the whole cd. Yet again they deliver with a catchy chorus "Please tell me that this is the end of the world, its time that we erase history, without a trace or a memory". Lyrically the band has matured and this is shown in the lyrics throughout the cd. The title track of the cd "Crisis" follows on from the last song and is fast paced. This song heavily features the harsher vocals of Pettit thus building up to the melodic chorus delivered by Dallas. Another great song, the songs tend to get better as the cd goes on.

Advantages: Honest lyrics and some truly amazing guitar work from Rhoads
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks and w/o Rhoads would probably be two stars

...a kind of kick in the arse and began to pull him back into reality. Both of Ozzy Osbournes first two albums, 'Blizzard of Ozz' and 'Diary of a Madman', were recorded together yet released a year apart. 'Blizzard' in 1880 and 'Diary' in 1981. The album, as well as having a few weak moments, is certainly a strong record from a man everybody expected would self-implode majestically under the weight of all his drug and alcohol abuse. Track Listing 1 - Over the Mountain 2 - Flying High Again 3 - You can't Kill Rock'n'Roll 4 - Believer 5 - Little Dolls 6 - Tonight 7 - SATO 8 - Diary of a Madman The album starts in lively fashion with Ozzy's trademark nasal delivery taking centre stage.
