Ozzy returns with a startlingly heavy ninth studio album, a record filled with vows to continue his rock 'n' roll ways ("Not Going Away," "I Don't Wanna Stop"), meditations on the state of a world that has changed surprisingly little since Black Sabbath's early days ("Black Rain," "God Bless the Almighty Dollar") and the obligatory ballad ("Here for You," which can be read either as a letter to a lover or a love letter to his fans). With longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde providing plenty of brutal, soul-searing riffs and solos, there's no shortage of reasons to throw the horns, raise your fist, and yell. The rhythm section of Mike Bordin (drums) and Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (drums) is simply the best since Randy Castillo and Phil Soussan joined up for 1986's The Ultimate Sin and fires most accurately on the title cut, "Lay Your World On Me" and "Countdown's Begun." There's no "Crazy Train" or "Mama I'm Coming Home" here but Black Rain is a more convincing statement for it. The promises Ozzy makes here are sincere, he's not going away anytime soon--and he's still got plenty of game. --Jedd Beaudoin

This album is so great! It takes some Black Sabbath aspects and mixes it all up with recent Ozzy and WOW! what an explosion of some of Ozzy's best songs ever!!
 CD is good 2 tx to Ozzfest Rocks December 27, 2008
W. Phillips
Props to Ozz for giving free tx for his fans but the live Randy Rhodes songs sounded like somebody punched Old Ozzy in the throat=( The cd I like the rock songs skip the I Love Sharon songs. after R.R. era get this after Ozzmosiss Hits Speak --- Devil

Older fans of Ozzy Osbourne won't be too surprised by the decidedly heavy tone of Ozzy's latest project, "Black Rain." Those folks who only know the domesticated Ozzy from his MTV show will most likely view this album as a wake-up call. The loud reassurance of tunes like "Not Going Away" and "I Don't Wanna Stop" comes as a boot to the collective bottoms of younger rock bands that currently rule the airwaves. It reminds them that although he's getting a bit long in the tooth, Ozzy can still rock and probably will until the day he dies. The aforementioned tracks as well as "11 Silver" "Countdown's Begun" and "Trap Door," are all excellent rockers. "Civilize The Universe," "The Almighty Dollar" and "Black Rain" are nice mid-tempo rockers that hint at Ozzy's sound in the late 80's/early 90's. Two solid ballads are also included, the better of the two being "Lay Your World On Me."
Overall, Ozzy, Zakk Wylde, Mike Bordin and Blasko have put together an excellent set of tracks for "Black Rain." There's no stopping the Ozzman any time soon as far as this album is concerned. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Ozzy's older work as well as fans of Black Label Society, hard rock of the 80's/90's and the kiddos who think Ozzy is nothing more than a burned-out rocker. Hide the Nickelback albums, boys, the prince has returned!
Wow! Wonderful CD July 26, 2008
Callie Eckelkamp (Union, MO - USA)
What can I say... This is the Best Music I own. Ozzy Rocks!
Good CD but buy the better version. July 2, 2008
Joseph R. Kennedy (NJ, USA)
I spent a LOT on this special edition of the CD to get 2 extra songs. Little did I know a newer version would come out with 4 extra songs. I feel duped! Please buy the version with more songs for less.
