Thoughts

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this album, I’m not a massive Ozzy Osbourne fan but then I only really know him as the slightly doddery old guy in that early reality show that I didn’t watch. However, the album is called Blizzard of Ozz which is some kind of genius and worth a listen for that alone.

And actually, it was a bit of a revelation! It’s good, credible rock, and just the right side of heavy for my metal tastes. It was also a lot more existential than I was expecting, more emotional even. The Mother Earth song really surprised me for its themes. Overall, a really great album. RIP Ozzy!
