Ozzy Osbourne- "Ordinary man"

Ozzy Osbourne-"Ordinary man"

After "Scream" with Ozzy letting go of Gus G and without really working with some guitar wiz, we all had our doubts. The news of him working wioh rapper (?) celebrity Post Malone made the feeling even worse. Why the hell did Ozzman need the publicity of a collaboration with a rapper? And suddenly the first songs of his new album surfaced on the internet. Like Coronovirus, addictive, infectious ,they just confirmed that the great musician knows how to work with the right people. Most of the songs here have the contribution of his main man/producer Andrew Watt who may not be the guitar player of our heart but is in the vein of Jake E lee and really knows to write songs that honor Ozzy and his legacy .The album has the feeling of "Bark at the moon" and "The ultimate sin" with some "Scream" overtones and even myself , who i m not the biggest Ozzy fan enjoy it. Songs like the emotionally charged ballad "Ordinary man" or the  deranged "Under the graveyard", my favorite " Scary Little green men" and  my personal favorite "Holy for tonite". If we thought Ozzy would leave the building with no trace, we are al so fucking wrong. He is a really  unique artist and even Parkinson disease cannot take him down. If this is his swan song , its one among his best efforts. My respects to the mighty madman.
