Scream is Ozzy Osbourne's first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. The album was produced by OZZY and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for OZZY's 2007 worldwide million-seller Black Rain, the album. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of the album at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker, and co-wrote all the songs, primarily with Churko. Notably, the album marks the first appearance of OZZY's new guitar player, Gus G. OZZY's band also features bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. This tour edition is limited and contains a second CD with seven bonus tracks as well as video content which can be viewed on your computer when the CD is inserted. Video content includes the video for Let Me Hear You Scream, the making of the Let Me Hear You Scream video, and the making of the album Scream.

OZZY OSBOURNE – Scream (2011 tour edition)

If you liked Ozzy’s previous album, the quite good Black Rain , then I think you might like Scream even better. As everybody knew, it was Ozzy’s first new studio album of original material without Zakk Wylde since he joined the band. (Jerry Cantrell did play on the perfectly awful covers album  Under Cover .) Many wanted to know, “Is Gus G any good?”

Ozzy’s never had a bad guitar player, and Gus G is a speed demon. I don’t know alot about the guy, but he seems to emulate Zakk with those “Wylde” bends, yet he also has this fast neo-classical vibe. If you hear that Ozzy live EP that came around the same time ( iTunes Festival 2010 ) you will find that he really nails a Zakk-like vibe on the old Ozzy stuff. On the Sabbath classics, he does justice to Iommi’s chunky riffs. And he’s fast…really fast. In other words, he is kind of the best of all worlds. I’m not saying he’s better than Zakk, because personality goes a long way.  I’m just telling you what I hear.

Yet there are surprises on here. I wouldn’t call them “ballads” per se, but “Time” and “Life Won’t Wait” change the pace. “Time” re-emphasizes Ozzy’s old love of the Beach Boys with its lush “ooh, ooh” backing vocals. “Life Won’t Wait” is a softer, bass-driven mid-tempo rocker with an amazing chorus as only Ozzy can deliver. The bass line really reminds me of another song, “Take a Picture” by Filter.

The rest of the album is heavy, maybe Ozzy’s heaviest. At times it reminded me of Zombie, at others, Sabbath. In general though it is identifiably Ozzy. “Let Me Hear You Scream,” the lead single, is a fast heavy Ozzy rocker designed for firing up the concert crowd. While Scream does not worm its way into your noggin the way Blizzard of Ozz did, it’s still a pretty good record. Ozzy seems very proud of it, and rightly so.

Lyrically, Ozzy’s in familiar territory. His lyrics to me are always underrated (whether he writes them or not). On Scream , he has tracks for his beloved audience as always: “Let Me Hear You Scream” and the touching outro “I Love You All”. On others he’s talking about religion. “Diggin’ Me Down” asks the question, how long must we wait for Jesus Christ to come back? “Crucify” seems to be about crooked preachers again, or perhaps just those who prey upon the desperate.

I also bought this album on double vinyl. The vinyl edition omits the live songs, but includes an exclusive single edit of “Life Won’t Wait”. So in total, I ended up with Scream four times!  (I gave the Japanese import to my friend Peter.)

You bought this four times?! That’s for more than me! I’ve only heard the title track and just wasn’t interested. Not fully enjoyed any Ozzy since No More Tears.

Really eh? I liked a good solid half of Ozzmosis, I felt it was 1/2 a great Ozzy album and 1/2 filler, but the good songs are so good that I like the album overall. Old LA Tonight, man what a song! I Just Want You…See You On The Other Side…

Anyway I would say that Scream is the best one since No More Tears.

One of these was a gift so technically I bought it three times. If I had known you back then I’d have been happy to send you one of them!

I’ve seen it selling for £3 and all not been able to bring myself to buy it so I think it’s just over for Ozzy and me!

There are always a few decent songs here and there. Ozzmosis did have some frustratingly good tunes like you say but not enough to save it for me. I guess there just comes a point where I have to decide I’ve lost interest.

Yup, I get that. I’ve hit that wall with many artists. And I’ve come back from that wall with some too.

You know what’s funny, you know what a completist I am. There are two Ozzy albums I don’t own, at all. Down to Earth and Under Cover. I’ve never owned either. I hate them that much.

Really? I’m surprised by that. I don’t blame though because they are pretty terrible… is Under Cover not one of the discs in the box set though?

It is like hitting a wall. I have come back with some but it’s hard for me to believe Ozzy’s capable of winning me back at the moment. But you never know!

Technically Under Cover is sort of in the box set — I think four songs are different. I know you have to get both Under Cover and the box set to get all the songs.

You did like the new Sabbath right?

Ah, I see. No, I couldn’t get into the new Sabbath.

To quote Lebowski, “That’s a bummer, man.”

But I get it. I totally get it.

I have a buddy who’s huge into Zakk Wylde. Almost named his son Zakk. But I haven’t been interested in Zakk Wylde in a dog’s age.

I did follow BLS for a while through some ups and downs. Not heard anything since… Umm.. Shot To Hell? Might have got that title wrong. I don’t even know why I stopped following Zakk cause the last BLS albums I had were good but I think they were maybe all too similar. I feel like I’ve just heard enough now. And he was awful live. One of the worst shows I’ve ever seen.

All too similar for me. I bought the first two BLS, and then he did an acoustic BLS and I bought that one too. It’s OK but it felt a bit like “Book of Shadows Part II”.

I think you might prefer the BLS stuff that came later like Mafia and the one that had Stillborn on it (can’t remember the album name). The first two were poor by comparison. That was the best period of BLS in my opinion.

Really? I had always assumed the first album was the best and downhill from there.

No, the albums started getting gradually better from the 3rd on. Just better songs really and he started laying off the excessive down tuning.

Interesting as that’s when I stopped paying attention!

So had I actually! I had ignored a few albums but then bought Mafia on a whim and was really impressed by it and that had me working back. That said, I haven’t listened to any of those albums for ages!

Wow. I think Ozzmosis is one of the best Ozzy albums ever. Better than No More Tears even. Of course, it’s not up there with Blizzard Of Ozz or Diary Of A Madman, but I reckon it’s easily as good as Bark At The Moon or The Ultimate sin.

There are some songs on it that I don’t like. My Jeckyl Doesn’t Hide, My Little Man…I think he was definitely on the right track with that album, but could have used a few more good songs.

Yeah, I agree on that. Those two songs you mentioned aren’t top notch. But they are the only bad ones. But I love the hproduction and Deen Castronovo really rules the drums on that album.

Forgot about Deen. He was great on that album. I never understood why Ozzy took to trashing him so much in interviews after he was fired. Don’t get that.

This is a strong record. I only have the standard edition, but I like it a lot. I thought maybe he’d have lost it but nope… pretty strong for something this late in the career.

Yeah good point there. Ozzy still has a talent for putting together a good group of people who enable him to make good records.

On that BLS thread of conversation… I seem to really love that band, despite myself. I remember I bought 1919 Eternal and thought it was disappointing, and then got more and more albums anyway and thought they were all samey. Every album was about a 5.5/10, still more good than bad, but barely.

Then I just never, ever stopped listening to them. I have all their albums now, and listen to them every day, and I couldn’t name you one song that I dislike. They’ve all grown on me to about a 7.5/10 now. If you were to ask me if I like BLS… I could only honestly reply “kinda” but if you asked me how often I listen to them, I’d have to say “Daily”… which you don’t really do to bands you only kinda like.

Its a weird one. Same thing happened with Devildriver a few years back. Its hard to say they’re a favourite band of yours, but its hard to stop listening to them. Odd how the brain works.

Very interesting! Some bands/albums are just like that.

Last Ozzy I bought was Down To Earth and can I recall anything from it…..nope… Scream was played to death on the radio here and I dunno just never got around to it …. I’m with HMO about saying that NMT was the last great Ozzy record and I’m with you Mike on the call that half of Ozzmosis was good. Don’t know why….. Back in 1992 when Ozzy at the time announced his NO More Tours we all freaked and bought tickets to his Minnieapolis show thinking that would be it and than when Ozzmois came out he called it his Retirement Suck Tour….hahaha…good sense of humour on that one.

I bought the Live At Budokan album that followed Down To Earth. So I know a couple songs like…uhhh…can’t remember any.

I recall reading a scathing interview with Zakk about that album. He didn’t write anything on it; it was all outside writers and he was pissed. He was especially pissed when the producer took his guitar out of his hands and said, “Play it more like this.”

Apparently he went to the label to complain about the album, and especially a song that was written by the Offspring. Needless to say the Offspring song isn’t on the album. But neither are any Zakk songs.

I remember reading Zakks comments as well….yeah he hated the songs..hated the producer ..was hating on everything about it…. Well I guess every artist that has built up any kind of catalog is gonna lay a dud like…. Triumph-SOK Kiss -Elder VH-3 Boston- last three studio albums!!! Cheap Trick -Lap OF Luxury Def Leppard -X Bon Jovi- that country stank Fest record..

These are my duds that just came to the top of my head as of right now ….having said that each of those albums I mentioned had a few good tracks but a lot of filler as well and as for Boston…Nuthin solid since Don’t Look Back from 1988….

I think it’s best to think of Boston as a two or three album band. Or a Greatest Hits band. But it’s best to think of them as past-tense regardless.

Here’s some more:

Stryper – In God We Trust Styx – Brave New World

You know how easy it would be for me to just review those albums by drawing a picture of a poo?

Ha those two u mentioned Mike I have never heard,knew about em but I’ll take your word for it…..

I don’t really get on with Ozzy as a solo artist, apart from in a Greatest Hits sort of way; but I did hear and like chunks of Black Rain, but never quite pushed on and got this one.

So you don’t even go for Blizzard of Ozz or Bark at the Moon?

No, something to do with the production I think – gimme a track, or two at most from each.

Like the Overlord I only heard “Let Me Hear You Scream” when it came out and wasn’t too impressed. I may have to check this out though. I loved Ozzmosis and liked Black Rain. Didn’t care much for Down to Earth or what I heard of the covers album. Although, since I now know Jerry Cantrell played on it I may have to check that out too.

You may, but I’d suggest skipping the covers album even if you’re a Jerry fan. Spend the money on an Alice in Chain bootleg or something. Ozzy’s singing on that is akin to a cat stuck in the fridge.

Four times! Man, you’re keeping Ozzy in tea!

I need this record. I liked Black Rain, and if this is better, and heavier, it’s going on the search list right fucking now.

Yeah if you liked Black Rain, check it out. I bought Black Rain twice, dammit.

This is an ok record. Pretty good, but forgettable, I’m afraid. I liked Black Rain better but the one too is forgettable. Thing is, after Ozzmosis, I don’t think Ozzy has made one great record. He made one really shitty, though – Down To Earth. About Gus G, he’s a really great guitar player, but too unoriginal. Randy, Jake, Zakk, even Brad Gillis had their own sound and their own way of writing music. Gus sounds like all of the above when called for. Ozzy really needs a great sidekick to make a great record and I don’t think Gus is the one. Ever heard Gus’ own band Firewind? great musicians, but boring standard heavy metal, forgotten the second the album stops. Boring. Black Label Society might be brutally crappy, but at least they don’t sound like anyone else. I’d give this album 6/10.

I’ve never heard Firewind. I’ve never really been curious about them. As a player, Gus has to develop his own personality. I think it will still come especially if he continues to work with Ozzy. Ozzy really tends to help a guitar player grow to reach their potential.

I don’t mind this. I can’t say that it stands out to me in any way, but the singer is great.

mk.gee's L.A. Performances Spotlight Why He's a Musician's Musician

Trending on billboard.

“I definitely wouldn’t say I was confident” about solo success, says Osbourne, adding that the 2021 induction of Randy Rhoads, his late songwriting partner, in the musical excellence category “made me feel we could be on to something. With every new music venture there’s always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.”

Comparing this induction to Sabbath’s “feels different,” Osbourne says, “because my solo career, it’s been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole.” And after finishing fourth in the fan vote with more than 480,000 votes “feels more special, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way.”

The big question, of course, is whether Osbourne will perform at the induction ceremony on Oct. 19 in Cleveland. Though he’s effectively retired from touring due to a variety of health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, Osbourne continues to speak about performing again in some capacity. Could it be a two- or three-song set for the Rock Hall? “You never know,” he says, only promising that his outfit that night “will most certainly be black.”

Ozzy Osbourne Slams Black Sabbath After Solo Rock Hall Induction

Ozzy Osbourne was one of eight acts inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Sunday (April 21), and the former Black Sabbath singer had some choice words to say about his old band when he reacted to the solo induction.

"Thank You @RockHall Voters & Fans for this induction," he wrote on X/Twitter. "My solo career, has been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole, so this feels more special. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band."

Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath in 1979 for his alcohol and drug use, but reunited with the band on numerous occasions—most recently for their final tour in 2017. He released his first solo album Blizzard of Ozz in 1980.

The metal legend expanded on his comments in a statement given to Billboard . “I definitely wouldn’t say I was confident” he confessed about his solo career. "With every new music venture there’s always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped.”

Ozzy also admitted this induction "feels different" than Black Sabbath's in 2006. “[It] feels more special, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way,” he said. Ozzy's been eligible for a solo induction since 2005.

The Rock Hall Class of 2024 also includes Dave Matthews Band , Cher , A Tribe Called Quest , Mary J. Blige , Peter Frampton , Foreigner , and Kool & The Gang.  The induction ceremony will be held October 19 in Cleveland. Of course the question arose of whether or not Ozzy plans to perform at the ceremony . "You never know," he teased.
