J2112YYZ Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Blizzard. Except for the title track. I think the second half Diary is a little weak. Still a great album but Blizzard is the overall stronger effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the song Little Dolls because it reminds of the killer doll scene in Barbarella which frightened you as a child. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Blizzard, but it's very close. Both are brilliant. Two of my favorite rock/metal/whatever albums of the 1980s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Diary of a Madman. Over the Mountain and the title track are my favorite solo Ozzy songs so it gets the edge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Conflicted here. Blizzard is more consistent, but Diary's strongest tracks are stronger. I'll go with Diary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Diary. It is rock solid from start to finish, with the majority of songs being great. Blizzard, on the other hand, has a few songs I could chuck in the trash without missing a beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 SATO is the deciding factor My favorite Ozzy / Randy track Diary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Great as Blizzard was, it was just a warm-up for Diary. One of the best melodic hard rock albums ever recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 "Diarrhea Of A Madman!" That's me! Diarrhea of the mouth. Diarrhea of the fingers! LOL! "Diary Of A Madman" changed my life. I bought it on vinyl before I knew of "Blizzard." The intro to "Over The Mountain" blew my young mind and another reason why I wanted to be a drummer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I like both these albums, they're great. I think the second one is overshadowed a bit by the first one because of great songs that became more famous like Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train and I Don't Know and because the death of Randy Rhoads torpedoed the tour in 1982 and they hardly played any Diary songs. When it comes down to a song by song comparison though there's not much to choose between them. On any given day I could choose either one of these albums but today I give to Diary by a whisker... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing breakdown post Duck! Your post seals my own personal deal. "Diary Of A Madman" wins easily. How about the best Jake E Lee Ozzy record? I would take "The Ultimate Sin" over "Bark At The Moon!" So I am consistent. I will take "Diary" and "Sin." Both second releases with different guitarists. What do you think Duck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the atmosphere on the whole record. And I love all the songs, the title track, Rock n Roll Rebel and especially (Forever) Journey to the Centre of Eternity, Waiting For Darkness and Spiders! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I remember when I first heard Forever (Journey to the Centre of Eternity). My mate had bought the album before me and was all secretive about it until he was ready to unleash it on the stereo. And that was the side he played and the first track I heard (apart from Bark at the Moon which I'd seen on Top of the Pops). Anyway it was EPIC! And with that keyboard and chanting intro it topped Mr Crowley. And the riff just ripped my face off and blew my head off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the USA I didn't get to hear "Spiders" until years later when I found the cool UK cover with "Spiders" on the album. I LOVE IT TOO! I love the UK cover better too!!! Ok, yes, "Rock N Roll Rebel!" "Journey!" UGH! Atmosphere is better. "The Ultimate Sin" is all about nuclear war. I love "So Tired" too. This is tough now Pat. Damn it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel your emotion through this one dimensional texting shite. I totally get it Pat! EPIC! Pun intended!! Like the CBS Record Label! LOL! Ozzy was on JET too. Dude! KILLING ME!
