Killing songs: I just say no . - ((
So if Ozzy says he is Down To Earth with
this album he'd be better Flying' High Again because
this is maybe the worst opus in his whole solo career :-(((
I already knew Ozzy when he was into Black Sabbath
and followed his solo career since the beginning and it
looks like the Mad Man has past the point of bringing something
fresh and interesting to the metal scene.
Where are just the good old times gone?????????????? I
know it is impossible to replace Randy Rhoads and even Jack
E Lee. Sorry but Zack Wylde just missed the point on this
album.
The production is good but no!!! Just say no, the songs
don't sound like Ozzy's songs used to be once. They
sound like Black Sabbath going New Metal. The hole
album sounds New Metal. And the worst: don't ask me for
a good song or even for the best one, it is just a pithy.
This album is maybe a good product for the American market
but in Europe or in Japan lots of old fans will surely be
disappointed. Ozzy's singing lines aren't that good. The
worst is that the riffs aren't interesting at all and the
solos aren't very catchy. So maybe the fans will be divided
like fifty/fifty so this is not more than a 50.
This album is as disappointing as Ozzy's performance
in Donington in 1996. He went just completely wasted on
stage playing with water shooting guns and it was miserable.
