Ozzy Osbourne – Bark At The Moon (1983)

October 31, 2024

Bark At The Moon is IMO the strongest album chronologically up to this point. It seems a change of staff (a whole new band, Don Airey aside) did wonders. The production is fantastic and the bass tone is phenomenal. I was worried that the record was going to be top heavy, with the title track being one of my favs from Ozzy, but my worries were unfounded.

Stand out tracks for me would be the opener and also “One Up The B Side”, which I’m not sure is a bonus track or not as it doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the record, but is a fun track all the same.

Also, I can’t decide if the cover art is dreadful or brilliant. Perhaps both.
