Ozzy Osbourne

Blizzard of Ozz

Why?

Review Score:

(2/10)
First of all, I do not have anything against Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, but it still makes me angry that they would play a part in butchering a classic recording such as this one. No matter how well they would have played it still would have been sub par because it is not the original recording. Why do artists do this? No one liked it when Frank Zappa did this in the mid 80's, but at least the real versions were eventually rereleased. I mean as a huge Ozzy fan I can tolerate the reality show and even the Pepsi commercial, but this travesty really, even more so than the tv show and commercial, makes we wonder where Ozzy's true priorities are. It really makes me sad that a treasured album from my childhood is tainted by petty squabbles over royalties( which is apparently the reason Daisley's and Kerslakes tracks were replaced)and released in a clearly inferior form. Shame on Ozzy and all other involved in this project.
