New Millennium Ozzy Albums - Which Is Your Favorite?

Ozzy has managed to put out a grand total of 3 albums since the year 2000.  Which one is your favorite?  Is it Down To Earth from 2001 with its troubled recording history, or maybe Black Rain from 2007 which was accused of sounding too much like Black Label Society, or is it Scream from 2010 which thankfully was not titled Soul Sucka and featured Gus G?

Pick one and maybe give your thoughts because nobody talks about these albums anymore.

I went with down to earth. Not really a huge fan of any of those albums, but that one had more of the classic Ozzy feel to it than the other two did IMO.

I honestly have not heard any of these. I'll try and check them out so i can vote.

This. I own Ozzmosis and haven't heard anything since.

If only I had the time.

Down To Earth by far. Facing Hell is a great song and You Know, Pt. 1 is a great one too except it's too short. I like maybe half of Down To Earth.

None

Down To Earth is the better of the 3.

I've never heard any of these except maybe a song or two and I can't remember how they sounded.

Cool poll...never heard of these either.
I love Ozzy - great lyrics always, like Halford.
I will have to check out 3 songs from each release -
then honestly chime in

Haven't bothered with any post-No More Tears Ozzy.

Down to Earth I voted

Though fav Ozzy album is Ozzmosis

Never owned any of them. I tried to listen to one of them once, I think Scream, and hated it.

Down to Earth definitely.

What he said

Black Rain. A good album, that kept pace with the times, but really, all of his albums have. I like it. Some have said that Zakk had too heavy a hand on this one and Ozzy giving the fans what they want gave Zakk the boot over fan reaction to Black Rain.

i've never heard Down to Earth but decided to vote for Black Rain. even if it sounds abit more like Zakk's Black Label Society it still is a better album than "coff...coff....Scream...coff....coff".

but if i'm going to listen to anything by Ozzy, it will be his shit with Black Sabbath and his solo stuff from the 80's to like No More Tears.

That album didnt do anything for me, last time i spun it was years ago maybe should give it another go

None of the above

I get off of the Ozzy train after 91. I've never been compelled to listen to anything past No More Tears, and I doubt I ever will. Based off the few singles I heard from them, they all seem like steaming piles of 'meh'.

This is my vote as well.

I got off the oz train after the ultimate sin. Didn't really care much for the Zakk albums.

Down to Earth!!!

I've recently re-visited those 3 albums and they are all pretty 'meh'. Black Rain got my vote, but not by much.

Down To Earth
