Ozzy Osbourne

No More Tears

No more tears... You Bet!

Review Score:

(8/10)
Indeed, this is one of those records you shouldn't miss! Fortunately for all of us, this new 24 - bit remaster wasn't [messed up] up like the other recent Ozzy re - releases. There is no reason to cry (therefore, "No more Tears"), here, as pretty much every song smokes! Actually, I used to like this record a whole lot more a few years ago, when I originally buyed it, but still. When I heard it was coming out with extra tracks, I lost no time and got it immediately. The only reason I rate this with 4 and not five stars is because 5 stars are exclusive for Ozzy's records with Randy Rhoads.After 11 years, songs like "Mr Tinkertrain", "Mama I'm coming Home", "Desire" and the title track still sound amazing. Other songs, like "S.I.N" and "I don't want to change the world" are also great, but for some reason, "Time after time" and "Road to nowhere" don't strike me as much as they used to... don't get me wrong, they are terrific songs, i guess i just changed a bit over the years... "Hellraiser" is fine, but i do like Motorhead's version better. The bonus songs? Quite good, actually:"Don't Blame me" is by no means an apology from Ozz, but rather a cool rocker, and "Party with the Animals" is another uptempo number chockfull of great guitar playing and an excellent overall performance. Just one question,though: is it Ozzy going ape, or is it a real gorilla doing those sounds at the end of "Party with the animals"? No, I'm just kidding... Buy the record, you won't regret it, as it is Ozzy's last truly great rockin album, now with a crystal clear remastered sound...Enjoy!
