I don't know why people in the metal community still bother with Ozzy, but I do find myself having the same sick fascination. It's kinda like a train wreck you just can't look away from. Ozzy used to be so important to the metal scene, but that was some time ago. Now he's mostly known for being an embarrassing, gibbering mess who's balls are on a leash which Sharon Osbourne holds.
Well I've got to say that the song Let Me Hear You Scream gave me the tiniest glimmer of hope. With new guitarist Gus G in the mix, who has quite a bit of talent and metal credentials, there really seemed to be a whole lot more guitar energy on this single. There's actually some great shredding there, even if the track does sound a little more modern. It's probably unreasonable to expect anything else at this point as any new Ozzy is going to be aimed at being a commercial/$$ success.
Well, the single may be good but it's quite... misleading. The rest of this album is boring, droning, down tempo modern metal bullshit to put it bluntly. Vocal distortion and brainless downtuned "metal" make up the bulk of this album with tracks like Soul Sucker and Let It Die being downright embarrassing. Think of a really crappy Ozzmosis with zero hooks and incredibly poor songwriting and you've pretty much got it. Throw in a lame as hell ballad like Life Won't Wait and you've got your final piece of this revolting puzzle. By the way all the pieces form Ozzy taking a dump on your face. What a bucket of monkey spunk.
Well, I think you've got the gist by now, but this album blows. The ONLY redeemable track is Let Me Hear You Scream which is strangely the best thing put out by Ozzy since Ozzmosis. Other than that you're wasting your time though and Gus G is sure wasting his talent. I'm sure the paycheck is good, but yeah.
Highlights: Let Me Hear You Scream
Rating - 0.5/5
