Editorial Reviews

If you loved the hit TV show The Osbournes, you'll absolutely eat up this unorthodox soundtrack album, which sucks you right back into this 2002 version of The Beverly Hillbillies, with snippets of the best bons mots from the show—-and minus all those annoying bleeps! It's instantly clear that the Osbournes' taste in music is much better than their taste in furniture. But why be surprised, as Sharon Osbourne, wife and manager of the timeless metallurgist, has been the intelligence behind all the Ozzfests, one of the few moneymaking tour packages in recent memory. She has certainly done her homework once again, offering sensational tracks by snarling Chicago-based trio Chevelle and the equally heavy Dillusion Mirror Image (clear inheritors of Ozzy's thorny crown). There is also a rousing cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind" by Armenian rockers System of a Down. This album isn't all about head banging; also included is a live track from third wave Britpoppers Starsailor, who'd be ostracized if they even came within spitting distance of the second stage at Ozzfest. And there's also Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," a song Ozzy used to play while Sharon would get ready for a night out, and the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," a tune that turned the young Ozzmeister on to rock & roll. Ozzy also turns down the din on his own contributions with the John Lennon-esque "Dreamer" and the lush and revelatory power ballad "Mamma I'm Coming Home." He thankfully gets things moving with his signature thrash anthem "Crazy Train," which is also reprised by his former next-door neighbor, God Squad balladeer Pat Boone. The surprising standout is daughter Kelly's full-throated version of Madonna's recalcitrant 1986 hit "Papa Don't Preach." Thankfully the impish, fuchsia-tressed teen inherited her father's genes, belting out the rebellious hit with a subversive defiance and roguish edge. Produced by brother Jack and with Ozzfest alums Incubus playing on the track, this cut rocks much harder than the original. --Jaan Uhelszki

It has its moments . . . 'nuff said........2006-06-22

First off - where is the song "Paranoid?" I noticed other reviews indicating thatsong is absent from this CD.

We've got a few 70's gems here. The Eric Clapton and John Lennon tracks are must have's from that era. And "Drive", a ballad recorded by the CARS is one that anyone who grew in the 80's knows.

PAT BOONE'S version of "Crazy Train" is interesting - and the theme for "The Osbourne's" reality show as you know. If you've watched the show, you already know if you'd like that son or not.

In between all the songs are snippets from the show - in their uncensored form. This album is therefore not for children or sensitive listeners.

Ozzy's version of "Crazy Train" is the "new" version with the Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake rhythm section re-recorded. Ugh - go get the '95 release of Blizzard Of Ozz CD with the blue borders for that song.

This album is a novelty for fans of the Osbournes - and another cash grab for Ozzy and Sharon. Get it used for the Pat Boone song song - the rest of it is readily available on the web and other sources.

I love this album!!!.......2003-02-23

This album is so f*@%ing awesome as Ozzy might say!! I think thst this is one of the best albums I've picked up in long time!! It has great music and I love the uncensored dialog from the show between the songs, it's so funny!!! My Favorite songs are:
Pat Boone Crazy Train-I think his version of this song is outstanding!
Ozzy Osbourne Dreamer-I like this ballad he does I think he has a great voice on this song and I would have to agree that it sounds sort of like a John Lennon song, who the song is a tribute to!!
Kelly Osbourne Papa Don't Preach-I think this version of this song is much better than the original and she has a great voice too!!
The Kinks You Really Got Me-It's a classic what more can you say!!
John Lennon Imagine-I love this song by him, I think it's his best!!

The Cars Drive-Great song, love the melody!!

Eric clapton Wounderful Tonight-One his best songs!!

Ozzy Osbourne Mama, I'm Coming Home-Another great ballad by the Ozzman, love the melody alot in this one!!

Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train-Of course who could forget the original version of this song by the master himself, his best song I think!!
Chevelle Family System-I think they added this because this song represents their family, but that's just my guess!!

I would highly recommend this for Osbourne fans everywhere you will enjoy it very much!!!

Paranoid???.......2002-10-05

Hey, my copy doesn't include Paranoid either. What the hell ?????

Cheers,

Commercial as heck, but has some novelty value.......2002-09-27

You wonder what the point of this CD is, first this, then Ozzy's BUDOKAN CD, is the guy just after more money? Don't get me wrong, I loved the show but what makes the "soundtrack" worth buying are the dialogue clips in between tracks. My favourite is Ozzy and Sharon discussing their experiences with viagra. I nearly wet myself laughing, my Mum thought it was sick; but then again, she would. Also hilarious is Ozzy going mental after his dogs urinate on his carpet. Most of the music is just filler, Pat Boone's version of CRAZY TRAIN is laughable, Ozzy's mediocre song DREAMER is included as is The Cars DRIVE which I don't like. However there is some good stuff: SOAD's awesome cover of Sabbath's SNOWBLIND as well as the obligatory Ozzy tracks MAMA I'M COMING HOME, and (of course) CRAZY TRAIN which is a vast improvement on Pat Boone's version. What next? Harry Connick Jr covering TOMORROW'S DREAM? God help us.

This album is awesome!.......2002-09-23

It doesn't matter if you hate the show, you'll still like this album! I love the show and bought the album the first day it was out and I love it. My friends who don't even like the show are loving this album! It's got a great variety of music ranging from Ozzy to Pat Boone, and Kelly to John Lennon. This CD has been in my stereo 24/7 and I absolutely love it. Definitely one of the best CDs I own, and by far the best soundtrack. I recommend this to everyone! :)

I Would Have Rather Have Had the Unclean Version But..........2002-10-26

I got it and didn't look the see if it had the Advisory sticker.But you might be thinking "Why does this CD have a sticker on it?"It's because there are [Untitled Hidden Tracks],one between each track.So,if you thought that the album had good songs but you hate to hear the Osbournes talk then you might not like having to skip every other track.I love the Osbournes so I listen to every track.
