Ozzmosis [Remastered] - Ozzy Osbourne

In my quest to open my mind to new genres of music, I have found myself veering towards rock, and more specifically, Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy and his family are the flavour of the moment, and whilst I know who he is, I can not say that I have ever listened to his music. This album is the first Ozzy album I have listened to, so I can only judge it on it's own merits, and cannot compare it to any of the other albums he has released. The first track 'Perry ...
...is very commercial, and actually more enjoyable than I ever dared to hope, and the guitar riffs are some of the best I have ever heard, and huge credit must go to Zakk Wyldde, but it is the brilliant bass line played by ex Black Sabbath member, the brilliantly named Geezer Butler, which made me sit up and listen, and they both carry on in the second track, 'I Just Want You', which I imagine is as close to a ballad as I am likely to get from Ozzy. ...

Review of Ozzmosis [Remastered] - Ozzy Osbourne

...are good, and quite frankly Ozzmosis is about as satisfactory as I expected at this stage of his long career. “Old L.A. Tonight” (that’s Rick Wakeman on piano!) provides a pleasingly low-key closer with guitarist Jake Holmes (a former student of Rhoads) in place of Wilde, who had become preoccupied with his own projects...But anyway folks if you can not decide whether purchase this album or not go to store or visit your friend who owns this piece ...
