Nice like always, i am going to check it out.

I've never seen you so wrong as you are on the Ozzy album. No, it's cool you like it, I just found that when it's playing I tune it out, not that interesting.

Your review of the new OZZY is very positive. I listen to some samplers and didnt like them, but after reading your review, i will check them out again. Maybe i had a bad day when i play them on YOU TUBE.

I dunno. I just liked how catchy it was. It wasn't a pretentious album, or an attempt to invent the wheeel again, just a bunch of catchy songs. It's not his best work, by far, but still an album that sounds Ozzy to me. And I like Ozzy!

Always a good thing when you or Ult update your sites.

Kurt I 1000% agree with your ozzy review!

Glad someone wrote it and I would have said similar!

Nice reviews!

Now that I know Gus G. is involved with that new Ozzy album, I might have to give this a listen, I really like his work with Firewind.

Im in full agreement with Kurt's assessment of the new Ozzy

Thanks, guys!

Checking the updates out now.

I am glad to hear you're enjoying the new Ozzy CD. I still haven't bought it. I always like Ozzy- even "Down To Earth" and "Black Rain", especially the former. However, most reviews have been so mediocre, I keep passing on this CD even though it's relatively inexpensive for a new release and I really like the song "Let Me Hear You Scream". Anyway, I think I'm going to pick this up the next time I see it. Thanks.

Next to The Ultimate Sin you have a pic of the No Rest For The Wicked line up.

Marius is outdoing himself, and quite frankly, the man plays circles around most other guitar-players out there today! What I like the most about him is that even though he is a word class shredder, he isn't flashy. He plays what is needed in the song, and it is such a pleasure to listen to his magic! I'd rank him alongside the Jørn Viggo Lofstad's (Pagan's Mind) and Jeff Loomis' (Nevermore) of the world, without hesitation. Ida is the one who gives the band it's identity.

Those were your words and with Jorn Lofstad being my second favorite guitar player out there, this is a must have for me. Comparing his to two of my favs is a no brainer and I thank you for mentioning them as this is now a must buy for me...

Great reviews

While I can't agree with your Ozzy review, I'm with you on your assement of the latest Maiden. And I didn't know Antithesis had a new one out. I'll have to get that one and maybe some Savage Grace as well. Nice job.

Savage Grace rule! I have 'em on vinyl. Need to get 'em on CD.
