Ozzy Osbourne

No Rest for the Wicked

Break all the rules and buy the most underrated ozzy album!

Review Score:

(8/10)
This was the second cd of Ozzy I bought and actually it's one of my favourites.
Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman still remain Ozzy's finest moments but this cd comes in a proud third place. This is certainly an improvement to "the Ultimate Sin", but it has a strong flaw: it's poorly produced.
Nevertheless it still remains as one of my favourites and I don't understand why it's so underrated.
This was the debut of young guitar player Zack Wylde and I think he does a better job than Jake E.Lee.
Now let's see the songs:

Miracle Man: Altough it's not incredible it's an enjoyable song.
Devils Daughter: one of the best on the album, it's cool to sing along.
Crazy Babies: Probably the worst on the album, the lyrics are stupid and It's just not good.
Breaking All The Rules: Without a doubt, the best on the entire album. Good lyrics, good drumming, great vocals and an incredible intro, courtesy of Zack Wylde.
Bloodbath In Paradise: This song has a great beggining, and it sounds a bit EVIL. A great song all throughout with great guitars.
Fire In The Sky: This song is really good although not the best.
Check out the work of Bob Daisley in this song.
Tatooed Dancer: Another solid effort although the chorus could have been better.
Demon Alchohol: Another great rocker. Real cool and real fast.
Hero: The hidden track it's an excellent mid-ballad, with one of the best solos I've heard.

One more thing: The cover is one of the best from Ozzy.
