THIS ALBUM IS A HOAX!

Review Score: (2/10)
I no longer have any respect for Ozzy & Sharon. I bought this album thinking I was getting the original & then found out after I opened it, that Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake's parts have been wiped right off the album and replaced with new parts by current Ozzy band members. And it doesn't even state that on the front cover (I blame the greedy record company as well, for going along with this). And all because Ozzy doesn't want to pay royalties that he owes to these guys. If Randy Rhodes' estate made demands that Ozzy & Sharon didn't want to pay, would they rerelease these again with his guitar parts wiped off as well? And if Bob Daisley wrote most or all of the lyrics, shouldn't Ozzy have removed those too & just rewritten all the lyrics, plus whatever musical parts Daisley wrote? I mean, just come out with "Diary of a Madman" but with all new musicians, music & lyrics!! This is a travesty. It would have been better if he had just come out with a brand new recording of this album & "Blizzard of Ozz" (he did the same with that album) - as long as the original was still available. Anyhow, Sharon talks about turning a "negative into a positive" but for who?? Only them obviously...not Daisley or Kerslake & certainly not the fans who can no longer have an album that they have loved for 20 years the way it is supposed to sound. Now I have to go to the store & lie in order to try to get my money back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ALBUM & "BLIZZARD OF OZZ!!!" (From what I have read, Ozzy didn't do this with later albums, even though Bob Daisley played on them - what sense does that make?).
