Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzmosis

Far From Over

Review Score:

(8/10)
This album is an extremely in-depth analysis of the life of Ozzy Osbourne. Since most of these lyrics were written during or just after Ozzy's extensive court-ordered rehab session, his inner most feelings are expressed in this recording. The song "Perry Mason" was written after being the first TV show Ozzy had seen in several months. "Ghost Behind My Eyes" is a song about seeing his wife in visions every night before he went to bed at the rehab center, and "My Little Man" is a song for his son that reassures him everything will be all right. This is a fairly played-down album compared to his previous works, which indicates that Ozzy has possibly grown after his separation from his family. A few songs that will appeal to the hardcore fan are "Thunder Underground" and "My Jekyll Doesn't Hide". "My Jekyll Doesn't Hide" is about his alter persona, the stage performer. This album is a grand step from the main stream of heavy metal, especially Ozzy's recognized style. But, it's a noteworthy one, and well worth purchasing it.
