Best Ozzy LP After Randy

I'm surprised there's not more love for No More Tears here. Probably the heaviest album Ozzy ever did if you don't count the ballads. Like MG, I killed my cassette from overplay. Still listen to it more than the others.

NMT was one of the first CDs I bought when I got a CD player. I was disappointed with it, though. I was still riding the high of No Rest (which was my first Ozzy album and remains my favorite overall Ozzy record) and NMT just didn't stack up.

Now though, I think NMT is great. I play it pretty regularly too.[/quote]

No More Tears was the last great Ozzy solo record. Ozzmosis was just okay but the stuff I've heardreleased after that has never made me want to run out and get them.

I've always been partial to No More Tears... No Rest For the Wicked would come in at a close second.

Now that you all mention it, I really need to upgrade those 2 to CD one of these damn days....

Similarly, I need to downgrade mine from the remastered versions to the original versions. Both NMT and NRFTW original versions are sitting at the local shop for $4 each. I just need to grab them.

I lost track after Ozzmosis, really. It had a couple of cool heavy numbers but far too much balladry and then Zakk left the band so I lost interest. What is everyone's opinions on Down to Earth and beyond?

Like any album, if there are solid songs I'll listen. Every Ozzy album has something to offer, but as far as them being full solid albums? I just can't say the newer ones are...

Bark At The Moon!

No Rest for the Wicked = NMT.

Does he still resort to half the album being ballads? I exaggerate, but that was my problem with Ozzmosis. Even No More Tears had one too many.

Not really, but there are a few here and there. I loved Ozzmosis even if tracks 2,3,5,7,8,and 10 were slow songs   

Tomorrow is one of my fav Ozzy songs!!

No Rest for the Wicked
