Ozzy Osbourne

Blizzard of Ozz

Ashamed to touch it (washing hands now)

Review Score:

(4/10)
Yeah, I knew this was going to [be bad].... Like your typical fan, I bought it anyway. I guess if I didn't know about the re-recording, I probably wouldn't have noticed and carried on as usual. But then hearing the over-distorted bass, under-emphasized drums, and even re-done backing vocals just makes me feel dirty. And not in a good way. More importantly is the Orwellian omissions of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake (and Randy Rhodes, to balance it out) on the inside back cover photo. Not to mention the blatant lie that it is the "original album back cover photo." Yeah, "you lookin' at me lookin' at you" was probably worth the price alone, but WHAT HAPPENED TO "You Said it All"??! That's the part I'm especially miffed about. All these empty promises, Ozzy. What are you, some 55 year old recovering coke-head/alcoholic?? Oh, wait...

And P.S.: If Daisley is such the rotten [person]..., why wasn't he taken off Bark at the Moon, No Rest for the Wicked, or No More Tears?? So many questions.
