Ozzy Osbourne – Ozzmosis (1995)

November 10, 2024

Chronologically, Ozzmosis has been one of my favourite Ozzy albums. This surprised me, because the transition to “modern” “grunge” was forced by the label, and not an organic shift (you can find earlier demos with a different producer where the same songs sound a lot more like No More Tears). I think I can safely say, for the first time ever, thank absolute fuck for label interference! No More Tears was a fucking snooze fest. 

As with any Ozzy albums there is a world of filler tracks here, and his ballads still leave a lot to be desired, but I’ve listened to Ozzmosis about five or six times in the last week and I can’t get enough of it. Oh, and Geezer is here, so tidy darts on that front.
