Ozzy Osbourne

No Rest for the Wicked

Stars in the Review...

Review Score:

(8/10)
After making "The Ultimate Sin" -album which became Ozzy's best-selling album but afterwards it was dumbed...Ozzy made an album which some of fans put his best and others say that it is almost as bad as "The Ultimate Sin". I am the one who think it is one of his best ones. This album was the one I liked to listen to the most when I was 6-10 years old. The riffs are so unbelievable. The lyrics are also great..."Devil's Daughter" and "Breaking All the Rules"...plus of course "Fire in the Sky" and "Bloodbath in Paradise". "Crazy Babies" isn't my favourites although it was a selection for "The Ozzman Cometh" -collection. "Miracle Man" is the one that Ozzy sing in his live gigs quite often. By the way, this is the album in which Zakk Wylde plays his best "guitar show". Riffs in "Fire in the Sky" are so unbelivable that it is hard to believe that some one who says that likes hard rock is against Zakk Wylde. Although Randy Rhoads was an excellent guitarist...Zakk isn't much worse...actually I like Zakk's guitar work more than Randy's. There's no ballads in this album if you don't count "Hero", a bonus track. "Fire in the Sky" has peaceful moments but I wouldn't say it is actual ballad. It is more like power ballad. This is maybe the hard rock album with big H and big R. If I think of a hard rock album I usually think about this album, "The Ultimate Sin" or Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet". Rhythm are most of the time fast...just to mention "Miracle Man", "Tattooed Dancer", "Demon Alcohol", "Bloodbath in Paradise", and "Devil's Daughter".
Stars: Fire in the Sky, Miracle Man, Devil's Daughter, Demon Alcohol
