Ozzy Osbourne – Black Rain (2007)

November 10, 2024

How can something that came out in 2007 smack this hard of nu metal influence? Hahaha

Black Rain sounds like someone in Ozzy’s management team heard Korn’s See You On The Other Side or NIN’s With Teeth and decided incorporating those elements into his music was a good idea or something. Seriously though, this makes the record feel enormously out of touch. The whole thing feels like a series of bad Rob Zombie b-sides with the guy from Korn playing the guitar and an old man rambling over the top. 

Also: Hearing Ozzy Osbourne, a man of unfathomable wealth, the man married to $haron fucking Osbourne; a creature who is known for her dirty fucking trickery, groan on about the perils of greed in “The Almighty Dollar” really fucking rubs me up the wrong way.
