treeduck Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I've not bought any Ozzy albums since No More Tears but this new one intrigues me... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Ozzy's newer music has been bad for a while now. His last album was an absolute embarrassment. I haven't heard the song with Iommi yet but Patient Number 9 is better than anything on the last album. It's nice to see that Ozzy remembered why he became so successful again. It's because he surrounded himself with good song writers. It looks like they're might be hope for this album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard them both, the title track is pretty good and the Iommi one is a little bit better and a bit more Sabbathy with Iommi playing all the guitars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I listened to "Degradation Rules", but the pre-listen hype about the Sabbathiness of it wasn`t matched by cold reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I remember walking to the record store in mid-winter to buy 'Bark at the Moon', almost losing an ear in the process because of the cold and my hatred for hats. Perhaps another sacrifice is in order, but let's hear the full album first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn`t you walk in circles, thus spreading the cold/heat across both ears? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's unfortunately no footage on youtube though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinwoodsman Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I might splurge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I might investigate that 1995 Ozzy album Ozzmosis and see if I can grab that too in order to augment my 2022 Ozzy album experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the tour they opened with Bark at the Moon. I saw both nights at the Apollo in Manchester. I was downstairs on the first night and upstairs on the second. Ratt was the support act both nights. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where Ozzy went wrong, although I do have a soft spot for the popcorn metal. I even bought a few of Ratt albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did most of the Bark at the Moon tour with Motley Crue so it makes sense from that standpoint that he tour with Ratt. Plus Jake E Lee used to be in Ratt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 It’s Ozzy. If you’re a fan, and I am, there will be a few good tunes, a few forgettable ones, and maybe something great. I’ll take Ozzy well past his prime over, say, the garbage Steven Wilson releases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
