This is a true piece of artistic genius
Following a similar structure to that of Blizzard Of Ozz, Ozzy skillfully combines storming fist-in-the-air rockers like Over The Mountain, Flying High Again and S.A.T.O. with more subtle and dynamic songs such as You Can't Kill Rock And Roll and the heartrending power ballad Tonight. Over The Mountain starts the album off with Randy playing a very tight up and down picking rhythm with intensity. The drums and bass guitar follow and it's quickly apparent that I'm aboard a musical freight train. Ozzy's vocals are truly remarkable and he profoundly executes like only he can, thus making the opening track a true classic. The tightness of that rhythm section is undeniable. Listening to them underneath the beauty of Randy playing is like a wolf attacking his prey with precision and determination. This truly great song has many high points, the highest being Randy's guitar solo. Of all the great work he did, this is to me the pinnacle of it. Flying High Again is another classic guitar riff. The song is off and running. I always felt that the Blizzard Of Ozz band had a great knack for bringing out the feeling of the lyrics through the music. With Crazy Train on the previous album and with Flying High Again, this hard technique has been achieved. To me that says a lot in terms of great songwriting. If one can convey to the listener and create a mood, his goal as a writer has been attained. This is so well executed that it portrays Ozzy himself as almost in a chaotic state and one is feeling his pain through the lyrics. And adding to this chaos, is the song's guitar solo itself. It is intense, yet very well articulated between both Randy and Bob, where Bob is underlying the guitar hammer-ons on the bass guitar, which sounds very unique and different. You Can’t Kill Rock And Roll slows things down briefly where Randy plays a melodic acoustic line throughout the verse. His classical influence really shows throughout this track. The build-up to the chorus is genius. When I was a kid, this was the song that I would listen to repeatedly. I was taken by Osbourne’s vocal approach, the catchy melody of the chorus and the simple lyrical content. This song has pure appeal to the listener. It suits Ozzy perfectly. With all the controversy that surrounded him back in those days, the message was clear to those opposed to what he did best. Rock 'n' Roll will forever live on through song. Believer starts with a great and moody bass line with Randy using guitar noises and harmonics to compliment Bob's coolness. The verse speeds things up with Randy chugging along to Ozzy’s cool vocal phrasings. A phasing noise can be heard throughout the whole song that gives it an eerie, horror-like feel. Little Dolls is Lee’s time to shine. He starts with a rhythmic beat that has a very Native American feel to it. From that point, Randy comes in with yet another memorable guitar riff. Throughout the short chorus, Bob can be heard on the bass emulating Lee’s powerful drum intro beat. Ozzy’s vocals are very dominating and pronounced amongst the three musicians providing his backing. On the section before the guitar solo, his vocal technique has a Beatlesque feel to it, which shows a different side of him vocally. Tonight has some really great lyrics, “It only rains, when it pours” for example. But the softness would be short-lived. Randy comes with crushing, distorted guitar chords that build the great chorus into a melodic masterpiece. Ozzy’s wallowing vocals make him sound desperate to the point where one almost feels sorry for him. This is a track that really stands out to me. It is an epic display of true songwriting and musicianship. Very similar to Steal Away (The Night) from the previous album, S.A.T.O. provides some great riffing from Randy. The feel of the song is very open and free. The guitar riff gives Lee and Bob the opportunity to show some intricacy in their parts. Bob uses higher notes in many parts, running the course of the neck throughout. Diary Of A Madman closes out the album and is another song of epic proportions. The guitar enters the song with a free spirited acoustic guitar part, then quickly switches as Randy acoustically develops the main guitar riff, at that point the electric guitar part simulates the main riff. Ozzy enters the picture after the musical interlude of sorts with the guitars toned back down to let his vocal breathe. The song really showcases Randy's guitar playing and his classical background yet again. There are many changes throughout with many emotions being exemplified. The repeated chorus-like section has an orchestrated feel that bleeds into the ending section of the song. This outro features a very operatic voicing that doubles with Randy's guitar. To me it’s a contrast of many colors (instruments) formed together to make brilliance. It is easier to hear Randy's multi-tracks. The background vocals stand out more. The little intricacies are more predominant. This is a true piece of artistic genius.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
