Customer Reviews

Average for Ozzy
I've always liked Ozzy with or without Black Sabbath.

No more tears has mostly ok songs but few stand out as excellent. Mr. Tinkertrain has strange lyrics but is probably the best song on the cd. Hellraiser is a motorhead song featured at the end of Hellraiser 3 and Ozzy's version of it is pretty good. Zombie stomp is interesting and cool sounding. Desire is melodic.

The complaints are that No more tears has a weak mixing and mastering production. It doesn't have that rich and resonating heavy sound you hear in a lot of good sounding metal cds. Also you can also tell this was recorded when Ozzy wasn't at his prime. His voice sounds a little bit strained and shot. Zack is great guitarist but he doesn't get to show off his skills too much or too often on this cd. There are also too many cornball ballads on this. .

I give no more tears a C+

Ozzy's Best?
Coming into 1991's No More Tears, Ozzy Osbourne hadn't put out a truly GREAT album, since 1980' s Blizzard of Ozz. Diary of a Madman and Bark at the Moon both sound incredibly dated, The Ultimate Sin was good, but not up to Blizzard's standard, and while Zakk Wylde's guitar work gave No Rest for the Wicked a fresh sound, Ozzy's vocals just didn't seem to really hit home.

And then this happened. A complete album, and the one we've been wanting since we saw what Ozzy was capable of. Zakk's guitar is just massive, here, and Daisley's bass tightly thumps throughout, backing some of Ozzy's best vocal work.

Some highlights:

---Zakk's solo on "I Don't Want to Change the World"

---"Mama, I'm Coming Home"...Ozzy's best ballad since "Goodbye to Romance" and "Revelation" graced our ears on Blizzard, and possibly his best since Black Sabbath did "Changes" on Vol 4

---Zakk's solo on "No More Tears"

---"Hellraiser"...gotta love songs about rock n' roll!

---Zakk's solo on "Time After Time"

...and so forth. Even the laughably ridiculous track ("Zombie Stomp") has killer guitar work...just a joke of a chorus. If they had thought of a better chorus and title for that one track...some lyrics worthy of the musicianship behind it, then this would get a perfect score. As it is...4.5.

On another note:

DO NOT BUY THE 2002 OZZY REMASTERS of his first two albums (Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman)! They are NOT the originals, and have been rerecorded by newer members of Ozzy's band, as a way to screw over the old members who are owed $$$ for the work they did. Seek out the 1995 remasters, instead. Reward the musicians who actually made the music!

Ozzy enters in the 90's
He was there in the 70's with all time classic rock with Black Sabbath.
He continues to rock in the 80's and there he goes in the 90's, a great pure rock album. Ozzy even got some major hits like Mama I'm coming home and No more tears. Zaak Wylde is just amazing. A very good addition to your cd collection. Good work Ozzy !
