Blizzard of Ozz [Remaster] by Ozzy Osbourne

Pros: Shows Ozzy didn't miss a beat when fired from Black Sabbath
Cons: Some true filler lurks on this disc

While it may not be a masterpiece like it's follow-up, 1981's Diary of a Madman, 1980's Blizzard of Ozz was a fine debut from Ozzy Osbourne. As I suspect most heavy metal fans know, Ozzy was booted out of Black Sabbath in 1978 for his...

Pros: Tunes both blasting and delicate. Ozzy's vocals in top form. Randy Rhoads' phenomenal playing.
Cons: One of rock's most misunderstood albums. Completely blackballed by deranged Christians.

When I was a kid, church leaders and their political bedfellows made all sorts of strange and funny accusations at rock n’ roll music. It would seem that the Devil was really intent on obtaining our souls back in the 1980’s, either by directly ...

Pros: A Stone-cold Heavy Metal classic and OZZY's solo life achievement
Cons: SABBATH fans may get hurt...

OZZY OSBOURNE fell off with the bottom of its last bottle after VAN HALEN stole another BLACK SABBATH show from their 1978 disastrous tour. Left for dead, his beloved wife Sharon presented him a young guitarist, huge fan of ...

Pros: Has some really good classic songs
Cons: Most of it just doesn't hold up to Ozzy's better stuff

After Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath he descended into a deep abyss of drunken nights and hungover hotel room days. As any of us would, he loved it profusely, but he wasn't exactly very productive during these times. Until one day in 1981, his then ...

Pros: Crazy Train.
Cons: filler tracks. A bit over rated.

Ozzy Osbourne's 1980 solo debut album Blizzard of Ozz is a classic album by heavy metal standards. It's some how stayed relevant over the past 27 years and has been cited as an influential album by metal guitarists the world over. Hell in 2002, Blizzard ...

Pros: Great songwritting, features the genius of Randy Rhoads
Cons: the production is a little dry

Hi everyone!

Well it was defenitly a good thing to kick Ozzy out of Black Sabbath! The band had released a mediocre album (Never say die), an album that showed that the chemistry was defenitly gone from Sabbath. But after Ozzy left, both...

Pros: Great songwriting and excellent guitar work
Cons: "No Bone Movies" is kind of a throwaway track

When Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath in 1978, many people wondered what he would do next. While a solo project was imminent, even Ozzy questioned whether he could continue in the music business without such a powerfully talented band backing him up...

Pros: Excellent song writing - incredible guitar work by Rhoads
Cons: There is a small amount of eighties cheesiness here, but not enough to be a bad thing

I heard my first Ozzy Osbourne song in the summer of '96, when I saw his video for 'I Just Want You' on Mtv (this was back when they actually showed videos). I liked what I heard enough to start my Ozzy collection, and I've been a huge fan ever...

Pros: First, and probably best, solo Ozzy effort.
Cons: A couple of filler songs...

1981's solo debut from former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne was titled Blizzard of Ozz, and it featured one of the best guitarists the land has ever known, Randy Rhoads.

This album would mark a distinct change in style for Ozzy:...

Pros: Ozzy's best studio release
Cons: only appeals to Ozzy's listener's

This is Ozzy Osbourne's best release ever. The combination of himself and the amazing guitar of the late Rhandy Rhoades combine to make this an excellent album. This one is truly a classic. This is the one Ozzy made headlines for with "Suicide...

Pros: honest, musically bitchin'
Cons: i own a pair converse, why?

Let us consider that, this album entails a soulsearcher, for those whom did not know, Mr. Osbourne had , in my opinion, created the most honest, soundworthy album, withblizzard of oz.the references to the metaphysical practitioner, Sir aliester crowley,...

Pros: everything about it
Cons: nothing at all

The Metal Maestro (Ozzy) starts his solo career with "Blizzard of Ozz" and it is from start to finish a masterpiece. Although this title was originally released in 1981 (before I was born) these songs remain popular today. Randy Rhoads is on...

Pros: just about everything
Cons: the last three tracks

Blizzard Of Ozz was the first album that Ozzy released after getting the boot from Black Sabbath. Lu ...

Pros: Nice tracks.
Cons: Not enough songs!

Ozzy's first musical venture after parting ways with Sabbath, and it is an extremely impressive one. The sound is much sharper and NWOBHM-tinged than his darker Sabbath tunes, and also introduces guitar whiz-kid Randy Rhoads to the mainstream metal...

Pros: ROCKS!!!
Cons: none

This album came out when I was entering high school, starting to form my identity, and like most kids, thought noone understood me. Well, one of my friends turned me onto this one and it has been in my collection ever since. Full of classic songs, Crazy...
