A Huge Leap Ahead for Ozzy

Review Score: (8/10)
Ozzy finally came up with the solution for his stalled writing partnership with Zakk Wylde. Instead of firing Wylde, as Ozzy has done in the past, he hired other writers to help out. A wise move on Ozzy's part, as Zakk's instantly identifiable and astounding chops are now an integral part of Ozzy's sound.

As Ozzy describes in the new liner notes, he tried a lot of new song ideas on this record. Some of them work, some of them don't - but the percentage of winners is much higher than on his last two releases. Songs like Perry Mason and Thunder Underground feature chunky guitar grooves that will have you headbanging in no time.

Production on this recording is finally professional, if a bit slick.
