Review Score:

(10/10)
Ozzmosis is Ozzy's latest solo release not counting his greatest hits album. On this album Ozzy somwehat slows down but that doesn't mean that he's still not the ultimate metal god. It's just now he's writing songs about his life stories. This album has many good points, the first one is that Ozzy's voice is in top form, the second is that the songs are extremely well written, and the third is Zakk Wylde. He is one of the most amazing guitarists to ever pick up the instrument, he's like a late 80's and 90's version of the late great Randy Rhoads. Perry Mason is the first track. It is a great heavy song with an excellent chorus. The next song is the more mellow I Just Want You. While the music my not be that heavy the song is lyricly heavy, just listen to the words. Ghost Behind My Eyes is a song that Ozzy wrote for his wife while he was in a court ordered rehab center. This is one of the best songs on the album. Thunder Underground is next, this is without a doubt the heaviest song on the album, and Zakk's guitar playing is amazing. See You On the Other Side was the third single behind Perry Mason and I Just Want You. It has a great solid groove with tasteful guitar playing and introspective lyrics. Tomorrow is kind of a mellow heavy song, and Ozzy's voice is amazing. Denial is a slow song. Nothing too special about it, not one of his best songs but not one of his worst either. My Little Man was a song co written with Steve Vai about his son Jack. This song is pretty good, but just slow. My Jekyll Doesn't Hide is another one of the heaviest songs on the album. It sounds like an outtake from No Rest for the Wicked. The album closes with the fourth single Old L.A. Tonight. It is a piano based ballad, which featurs on of Zakk Wylde's best solos ever. It is the perfect way to end the album. Ozzmosis is a great album for anyone to add to their collection. It is slower than most of Ozzy's songs but give the man credit, he's a legend. I reccommend this release to anyone except first time listeners. I suggest Diary of a Madman, Blizzard of Ozz, The Ultimate Sin, No Rest for the Wicked, or No More Tears.
