Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzmosis

Slower and heavier

Review Score:

(10/10)
While many people describe Ozzmosis as a "soft" album, I would say that this is Ozzy's heaviest solo album. The songs are not the fast paced speed metal that characterized his work during the 80's and early 90's, but the overall tone and feel of the album creates a very heavy feel that none of his previous work approached. Zakk Wylde's guitar work on the album is incredible, and the improvements he made both as a guitar player and a songwriter since No More Tears are evident. This album received little radio play due to the length and complexity of the songs, something you just aren't supposed to do with heavy metal. But the fact is that Ozzmosis appeals more to musicians than to the common public because of the structure of the songs. The tracks on this album were not written to garner radio play, in my opinion they were written to showcase the musical talents of Zakk and Ozzy. If you want to hear songs that are heavy but have some musical substance, this is the album for you.
