Best Ozzy LP After Randy

Honestly, never owned one after "The Ultimate Sin", just lost interest in what I heard, though I did like some from "No More Tears." I'd have to go w/"Bark at the Moon"...

Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin are the only ones that I paid any attention to. They were both okay and Jake was the best thing about them.

The Ultimate Sin is actually my favorite Ozzy solo album.

For me it's The two with Jake and half of Ozzmosis, the half that's good kicks ass and the rest that doesn't blows goats. The rest aren't that good but Down To Earth has like 2-3 songs I like. I never got into the rest much, especially Scream and No More Tears.

Odd, as I agree w/Ult's review on this one. Not bad, but not much to write home about, lot of hoopla at the time over a so-so lp, been a long time since I've listened to this one...

Bark At The Moon is the best overall. The Ultimate Sin is pretty good, a couple clunker tracks and an overly-slick production but worthwhile. After that I like selected songs (usually about 2 per album) but no complete albums, I think a single disc compilation would easily hold everything else worth owning post-The Ultimate Sin.

I would pick Bark At The Moon with The Ultimate Sin in second place.

I'll be the odd man out and go for No More Tears, followed by No Rest for the Wicked.

I prefer almost any Sabbath over solo Ozzy, though (even Blizzard).

+1

"The Ultimate Sin" > "No Rest For The Wicked" > "Bark at the Moon". I really don't care for much of anything else post 1988 Ozzy.

No Rest for the Wicked.

There is no Ozzy album without Randy Rhoads that I consider great. But if I had to choose, I pick the Jake E Lee albums. Especially Bark At the Moon. No Rest For the Wicked is the last real Ozzy album IMO.

Brad, Jake, Zakk, or Gus. The guy had some heavy hitters who were so very different from each other. Bark at the moon would probably be at the top and that is only because I played that thing to death. Ultimate, No rest, No more, and Black rain would follow.

You're No Different was my song from that time period.

No More Tears and Ozzmosis are my two fav Ozzy albums. I prefer Zakk's rhythm style over anyone that he has ever had, including RR... As much as I love RR (lead playing), I didn't care for much of the material he played on, bcuz quite frankly it's so overplayed!!

There's a reason why it's overplayed...

No More Tears then Bark At The Moon.

besides "The Ultimate Sin"
the ONLY good album also after that was "No Rest for the Wicked"
I bought every OZZY album after that [Rhoads era] (studio+live), and was ripped off.

1.Bark at the Moon
2.Ozzmosis
3.No Rest For The Wicked
4.Ultimate Sin
5.No More Tears

For me

Ozzmosis is my #1 favorite Ozzy album ever

then maybe Back to Earth

Like S.D., I only like a handful of songs here and there after Jake E. Lee was unceremoniously discharged. He did an admirable job, stepping into shoes impossible to fill! I never really gave the other lp's little more than a glance, I just lost interest in Ozzy, and I don't like Zakk, his playing, his pseudo bad ass biker image nor his mouth when I've heard him in interviews, he's a punk!

I'll go with No Rest For The Wicked. Awesome tunes from start to finish. I'd go with Bark At The Moon as a close second.

This - agree with SD

Bark At The Moon for me. When I reach for post-RR Ozzy its never a Zak Wylde album. I will give a mention to Speak Of The Devil, imho Brad Gillis does a great job.

Bark At The Moon with No Rest For The Wicked a close second.
