Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
The first solo effort by the former lead singer of Black Sabbath, Blizzard of Ozz became a classic, due in large part to Osbourne's partnership with the late Randy Rhoads. The most immediately recognizable song is "Crazy Train," whose distinctive riff has made it a staple of rock radio even today. "Mr. Crowley" and "Suicide Solution" generated considerable controversy, which is equivalent to good press when it comes to heavy metal. Other strong tracks include "Revelation (Mother Earth)" and the opening song, "I Don't Know." While Osbourne hasn't always been taken seriously, even by heavy metal listeners, his influence on the genre has been considerable. Blizzard of Ozz is an excellent example as to why. --Genevieve Williams

1 out of 5 stars It's been said before, and here's more........2007-07-31

The bottom line is you DON'T mess with a classic recording such as this. The energy and original tightness of this landmark metal album is absolutely destroyed with the re-recording of the bass guitar and drums by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin.

In Trujillo's and Bordin's defense, they're great players..... on FAITH NO MORE and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES albums..... know what I mean?

Apparently, the original players, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were bugging Ozzy for royalties due. Ozzy didn't want to pay up, or Sharon stepped in, or something.... but Robert and Mike were asked to record over the original bass parts and drum parts.

If I were Mike (I am mainly a drummer), I wouldn't even CONSIDER having my parts over the originals. No matter WHAT Ozzy would be paying. It's not worth messing with such brilliance. Talk about bad musical karma!

And if I were Robert.... man, that guy is all about the funky bass playing. He excels at slap bass, and his work with Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves proves this constantly. But bringing him in to play bass like it was the early 80s? Sorry, Robert, you fall completely flat on your face.

The re-recordings are an absolute vomit-inducing travesty to listen to. When I found out these songs had those parts re-recorded in 2002, I gave them a listen. 30 seconds into "I Don't Know" and I immediately hit stop on the CD player, hit eject, and threw the damn thing across the record store I worked at, at the time. It made me sick. Literally.

Your best bet, as a diehard fan, is to pick up the 1995 remaster (with the huge OZZY letters on the front, and tiny album artwork in the center), or better yet, find the original CD releases from the 80s. They're not too hard to find. Just make sure you avoid that 2002 copyright date, and the "Extra tracks".... they're a dead giveaway that it is the re-recording.

Don't support the destruction of musical genius. At the very core, the playing by Robert and Mike is SLOPPY. It's probably not their fault. It's not easy to play along to only Ozzy's singing and Randy's guitar parts, even if there's a click track inserted to play along to.

For the drummers and bassists out there, have you ever played along to a record, with headphones? You're never completely tight. It's hard to play along to stuff like that... it's never tight like a band practice or when you go into the studio and ALL PLAY TOGETHER.

I've made my point... get the 1995 remaster or the original CD (or vinyl). This disgusting re-recording is just..... sick. Absolutely the worst move ever made in the music industry.

Long live Ozzy-fronted Sabbath, and the original recordings of Ozzy solo.

1 out of 5 stars Review for 2002 remaster.......2007-07-22

Most of the other reviewers have covered the topic of the remaster. Why write another review? Well, in my opinion there is no such thing as too many one stars for this abomination.

In case you haven't read the many other reviews, the story is that because the original rhythm section sued Ozzy for (allegedly) unpaid royalties and credits, Ozzy's camp decided to re-record brand new bass and drum tracks and mix those tracks with the original Randy/Ozzy guitar and vocal tracks. The finished product is the deservedly maligned 2002 remaster.

This is another item on the list of many small and petty acts by Ozzy's camp that really make it hard to be a fan some times. I am standing by my vow to never attend an Ozzfest again after attending a show where Sharon Osbourne had people in her road crew throw eggs at Ozzy's opener because she felt they were being unfair to Ozzy in the press. This is a prime example of how the Osborne camp reacts to situations like this. Deal with it in a public way, without any regard for the fans. Never mind the fans who paid over eighty dollars to see particularly loved opening band (Iron Maiden) without having their set sabotaged. Never mind the fans who have heard "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of a Madman" for 20 years with an iconic rhythm section of Daisley and Kerslake. This is odd behavior considering how much Ozzy, at times, seems to genuinely appreciate his fans. (Note: many soley blame Sharon, but I have no evidence for that; and find it hard to believe that Ozzy would be "blissfully ignorant" while Sharon replaced half the musicians on two classic albums.)

Now, do not get me wrong. Bordin and Trujillo are amazing players in their own right. Faith No More and Suicidal Tendencies are, and always will be, two of my absolutely favorite bands. My jaw still drops open at Trujillo's amazing funk-metal on the Infectious Grooves albums. His bass playing is one of the few things on those albums that ages well. Bordin's amazing drumming that varied from jazzy rhythms to death metal is part of what made Faith No More so influential and iconic.

Also let it be said that Daisley and Kerslake are not Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Though incredible musicians, they are not as complex writers as some other who have played with Ozzy . I have read other reviews that people asking: If this is true, then why get so worked up over it? I mean, these are Ozzy's and Randy's albums, right? Why get so bothered when their recordings are getting replaced by people who, one could argue, are better artists?

Well, I have three reasons for my opinion against those arguments. First, D & K's simpler playing is a piece of what makes those albums work so well. To put it another way, Robert Trujillo would never, ever come up with so simple (and yet so blissfully memorable) a bass line as "Believer". I have been following Robert's work for many years and say that with deep confidence. On that same note, I can't imagine Bordin coming up with the iconic beats that open "Over the Mountain". If you can get a copy of the original version of "Blizzard", listen to "Steal Away (The Night)" and hear how Daisley and Kerslake hold back, allowing Randy to shine.

It's one thing to be a complex musician. It's quite another thing for a rhythm section to know when to hold back and give some space in order to serve the song better. Some refer to this talent as "knowing when NOT to play". This is the approach taken on "Blizzard". Later, on "Diary", it is amazing to hear Daisley and Kerslake introduce a little more complexity into their songwriting. A complexity that compliments, rather than counters, Randy. They give him more to work with. Hearing those two albums back to back, one can literally hear the growth of not only those two musicians, but of the entire band. This gets to my second reason for not liking the remasters. This band wrote and grew together. With the remasters the listener is denied the ability to hear musical growth happen as a complete band. The original masters act like aural snapshot for the time these recordings were made. It is a piece of musical history that should be preserved.

My final reason for not liking the remasters is simple. Giving credit where credit is due. No one but the band can know how involved Daisley and Kerslake were in the writing of this albums. Regardless, we all know they played on the album, and deserve the respect of having their contributions heard.

5 out of 5 stars Goodbye to Black Sabbath.......2007-07-12

Former Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne started his solo courier with Randy Rhoads (a guitarist) who was his (best) friend. The album is quite raw and that's why many like it, probably. "I Don't Know", "Crazy Train", and "Steal Away the Night" are the tracks that rock. They are very good hard rock. "Suicide Solution" is very sad rock song and the riff is so sad that you can feel the sadness...and the lyrics are not happy either. "Mr. Crowley" tells about Alistair Crowley who believed that he was the beast or something like that. The song has references to that thing. "No Bone Movies" is lyrically funny...and it's also an OK track. "Goodbye to Romance" and instrumental "Dee" are the weakest links in the album...Goodbye to Romance was the first song that Ozzy made with Randy Rhoads...it was a farewell song to Black Sabbath. "Revelation (Mother Earth)" is my favourite in this album. It starts sadly with sad vocals...it is at first peaceful but then the riffs come harder all the time.
Stars: Revelation (Mother Earth), I Don't Know, Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train, Steal Away (The Night)

5 out of 5 stars Ozzy's first solo album after the Mighty Black Sabbath.......2007-07-07

This is a must have for anyone interested in Ozzy. His lyrics and melodies are perfectly matched. This album is famous for "Crazy Train" and the powerful guitar playing of Randy Rhoads. All of the tracks stand up to the reputation, and really show the great song writing chemistry of Ozzy and Randy. The album photos of Ozzy and Randy hoisting each other up in the air, while Ozzy grins and Randy clutches his guitar, give the perfect companion to the fierce music you will hear. There are also many cool guitar effects and ideas besides the many solos. Save yourself from trained pretty boy bands these days who say they rock, and buy this awesome Ozzy album.

1 out of 5 stars Get the 1995 remasters instead, here's what to look for...........2007-06-23

As many of you can guess, the one-star rating is NOT for the original recordings of BLIZZARD OF OZZ and DIARY OF A MADMAN, both of which are essential classics of the heavy metal genre, but for the truly execrable 2002 re-recordings (NOT "remasters"!) with new bass and drum tracks.

All of the previous reviewers before me have already done a good job of explaining why you should avoid the 2002 re-recordings, so instead I'll explain how to hunt down the 1995 CD editions, which were remasters of the original recordings with the original mixes and the original bass and drum tracks by Daisley and Kerslake.

If you're in a major metropolitan area, they shouldn't be that hard to find in a used CD store. (If you go this route, check the cover art -- I'll get to that in a moment.) But if you're looking for them on eBay, be sure to email the seller before you bid! Make sure to ask the seller the following questions:

-- Who is credited on bass and drums in the CD booklet? (On DIARY OF A MADMAN, the bass and drums were originally credited to Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo even though Daisley and Kerslake actually played on that record.) If the seller tells you that the bassist and drummer credited in the CD liner notes is Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, then run far away!

-- Also ask the seller whether or not the original cover art takes up the entire CD booklet cover. If he/she says yes, then it's either the defiled "remasters" or the original early-'80s editions which have the original recordings but also the kind of shoddy sound that you get from any CD made at the time. In the 1995 remasters, the original cover art does not take up the whole booklet but is shrunken down and surrounded by a blue or green background.

Good luck hunting. If you call yourself a heavy metal fan, you absolutely must have both BLIZZARD OF OZZ and DIARY OF A MADMAN in your collection, as those two recordings are essential classics of the genre. But absolutely make sure you get the original recordings and not the pathetic reworkings with Bordin and Trujillo.

5 out of 5 stars mtvrocks is a idiot.......2005-06-08

ok first of all i would like to say what a great album this is (from the awesome guitar solos to crazy train, which is a great song), but i'm not here to talk about how good it is just buy iti am hear because last night i was reading a review of back in black (another great album i would recommend it to anyone) and i read a review by some idiot who said that the only reason every1 likes ac/dc is because of some band named "jet", and i was confused because i have never heard of "jet", and i was also confused because mtv certainly does not rock, it sucks more than anything else. then today i decided i would read some more of his reviews and i discovered he was even more of and idiot. then i got to his review of blizzard of ozz. if you dont know who ozzy osbourne is first of all you might as well just die but then to go on and say bad things about him should be punished by more than death. then to go on and say that it is "poser junk"... dude ozzy invented heavy metal how the heck can u call him a poser u idiot! then you go on and call randy rhoades (one of the greatest guitar players ever) to be to lazy to play the guitar anymore, im sure if someone put a guitar in his grave he would be happy to play it for you so you can see how great of a guitarist he is. yeah thats right hes dead u idiot.
"I lost a ton of respect for this guy when I found out Ozzy had been a member of fake metal bands." do you even know anything about black sabbath? cause they freaking invented heavy metal you idiot. and as my closing comments nobody listen to this idiot he has no idea what he is talking about, go ahead and buy this cd it is great!

5 out of 5 stars The Ozzman Cometh.......2004-12-01

I listened to the re-mastered version of Blizzard of Ozz and I agree with the previous reviewers: the new mix compromises the strength of the original recording. However, my review is based on the original recording, which I believe is a landmark Metal album.
Released in 1980, Blizzard was an unprecedented commercial and musical success for Ozzy. Blizzard also introduced to the world the brilliant and influential guitar work of Randy Rhoads, which set a new standard in guitar virtuosity. Blizzard is as much of an Ozzy album as it is a Randy album.

Here is my review by song:

I Don't Know - The backward-recorded gong is the dramatic opening to one of Ozzy's classics. The combination of killer riffs and solos contradicted with a melodic middle eventually become an Ozzy trademark copied later by many other metal bands.

Crazy Train - THE classic Ozzy track. A great example of why legions of Randy fans still consider him one of the best guitarists ever. Randy's fierce distortion doesn't stop us from hearing every single note. His riffs, solo, tone, speed, and clarity of playing are unparalleled. If there's any song that represents Ozzy and Randy at their best, it is this song.

Goodbye to Romance - Ozzy shows us his sensitive side with this ballad, bidding farewell to his old band and moving on. The song ends with a beautiful keyboard outro.

Dee - A short classical piece that Randy wrote for his mom. In 1980, who would have expected this from an Ozzy album? Another small milestone.

Suicide Solution - A song that Ozzy wrote for the late singer of AC/DC. This song would later become one of the targets of PMRC (Parent's Music Resource Center founded by Tipper Gore - Senator Al Gore's wife) and a reason for creating the warning labels on albums. Ozzy had to pay dearly by appearing in court for years for misinterpretation of this song by families that blamed this song for their children's suicide. Suicide is also the only song on the album without a solo. However, Randy more than made up for the missing solo with his awesome solo in the live shows. Check it out on the "Tribute" album.

Mr. Crowley - Another Ozzy classic about the life of the controversial Satanist, Aliester Crowley. It features a great keyboard intro and two killer solos by Randy.

No Bone Movies - Randy shows his versatility as a guitarist by delivering some slide guitar on this otherwise average song.

Revelations (Mother Earth) - Revelations is a song about how society is destroying the earth. Randy's classical influences are highlighted in this song followed by an intense solo. One of my favorites.

Steal Away (the Night) - Randy's intro riff to this song is as cool as it is innovative. It is signature Randy Rhoads that involves some intricate guitar playing.


5 out of 5 stars Mr. Ozzy...His First Solo Album!!.......2004-07-06

When I first heard about Ozzy Osbourne when I was 13 years old back in 1980, I was told by a sort-of friend who hated him so vociferously that to me at the time, Ozzy sounded like a real no-talent slimeball. I knew nothing of Ozzy's seminal influence as the original lead singer of Black Sabbath; in fact, I didn't even *know* Black Sabbath for anything other than their demonic-sounding name! I wasn't even into heavy Metal at all back then. I certainly knew nothing of Ozzy's talent or influence on heavy rock. Then, later that year, I first heard "Crazy Train" and I was stunned: *This* was the same guy who likes to pee on things, inlcuding the Alamo, and bites the heads off birds??

Of course, I became fascinated with Ozzy in part because of his contradictory aspects. I fell in love with "Crazy Train" and as soon as I first heard "I Don't Know" a couple of years later, I had to FINALLY go out & get the album. I purchased BLIZZARD OF OZZ (1980) on vinyl---of course---in 1983. I purchased the 1995 remaster on CD just a couple of years ago. As influential an album as this was back then, we really take for granted the fact that, when Ozzy assembled himself on lead vocals, Randy Rhoads on lead guitar, Don Airey on keyboards, Bob Daisley on bass guitar and Lee Kerslake on drums, Ozzy was operating heavily on a wing and a prayer---and on heavily controlled substances. His attempt at a comeback after being dismissed from Black Sabbath for good after their so-so NEVER SAY DIE! (1978) album was almost not to be.

As I and many others have learned in the past few years, thanks to Ozzy's candor on VH1, Ozzy was down & out in 1978 when he met Sharon Arden, the daughter of a record company exec who had given up on Ozzy as a drugged-out has-been. Sharon saw something special in him. Soon, they became romantically involved, then married. She tried to shop BLIZZARD OF OZZ around to everybody, and was soundly rejected over & over again---until a growing division of Columbia, Jet Records, decided to give him a shot. (Of course, it was at the release party for the record that Ozzy got drunk and bit the head off a dove that had been released as a sign of goodwill!) Ozzy waded through his newfound infamy while many people---like me---became awed by his music.

After all, what's not to love about his music? On Black Sabbath's NEVER SAY DIE, Ozzy and his soon-to-be-former bandmates sounded rather disjointed & tired. Just as Sabbath became re-energized by the arrival of Ronnie James Dio (culiminating in their own great 1980 album HEAVEN AND HELL), Ozzy became re-energized as well. Working with great British Metal veterans Daisley & Kerslake, and especially with young up-and-coming Californian guitar virtuoso, Randy Rhoads, Ozzy finally re-found his musical inspiration. Ozzy's sound was now very modern and very American. Even with his penchant for drugs and drink, his high tenor voice was in great form. The great, fast-riffing, heart-pumping opening song "I Don't Know" became an anthem for disaffected youth, and the equally-driving "Crazy Train" became the most popular Heavy Metal song of 1980, directly causing a huge resurgence in the popularity of heavy Metal, which in the wake of Disco in the late '70's had been dismissed as "dead music." Talk about rebirth!!

Thanks to this rebirth, I became a huge fan of the music that ended up informing my high school years. I appreciated the melody that went along with the heaviness of the music. All of Ozzy's songs on this album are melodic, and not all of them are heavy. Witness "Goodbye To Romance," a non-heavy, acoustic ballad that shows Ozzy did have a heart, after all! Randy Rhoads' light, acoustic instrumental "Dee" also shows that metallers are not just about "noise." Then, we have the song which actually took four years to become controversial, the unfairly-maligned "Suicide Solution." Let me tell you something about my experience listening to this song: No, I didn't take drugs, I didn't drink, I didn't worhip Satan and this song certainly didn't make me want to kill myself. Enough said. :)

"Mr. Crowley" has a great keyboard intro courtesy of Don Airey, again showing that guitar isn't the *only* instrument used in Heavy Metal. The last three songs never really made much of an impression on me, but that's probably because I played the other songs hundreds of times each! Maybe one of these days, I will revisit "No Bone Movies," "Revelation (Mother Earth)" and "Steal Away (The Night)." Even just on the basis of the first five classic 80's tunes alone, Ozzy Osbourne fully deserved his comeback all the way, and BLIZZARD OF OZZ became his first of many multi-Platinum albums which all shared incredibly smooth production values, great blazing guitar riffs and melodic singing by Ozzy, who never gave himself enough credit for his unique voice. This is still one of the all-time greatest rock albums of the 1980's.

5 out of 5 stars Life Without Sabbath..........2004-03-26

Fresh from a painful split with former band Black Sabbath, and spiralling in an alcohol and drug frenzy, Ozzy broke all expectations with 1980's multiplatinum 'Blizzard of Ozz'. Partnered with Quiet Riot's guitar sensation Randy Rhoads, former Rainbow basist Bob Daisley and Uriah Heep's drummer Lee Kerslake, Ozzy was back to his hard rocking glory. 'Blizzard' pushes the boudries of Heavy Metal and is surly one of the most influencial Metal albums of the 80's. Rife with controversy (Ozzy was taken to court for the song 'Suicide Solution' after a teenage suicide in the US) and musical genious, it confirmed Ozzy's place as the God Father of Heavey Metal.

I DON'T KNOW - Still the opening track of Ozzy's sets today. Timeless indroducaton to the new Ozzy

CRAZY TRAIN - Ozzy's coronation as a solo artist. Rhoads at his devestating best, and Ozzy documenting his life with pin-point accuracy - "I'm going off the rails in a crazy train!"

GOODBYE TO ROMANCE - A Farewell and ode to Black Sabbath. Beautifully constructed melodies with fantastic keyboard work

DEE - Rhoads' instrumental to his mother. Offers the audience an alternative side to Randy Rhodes and reminds us of his classical heritage on the guitar

SUICIDE SOLUTION - The infamous track that landed Ozzy a court hearing for alledged subliminal messaging within his records. A foolish young teenager in the states decided to take his own life after hearing ozzy tell him to fetch the gun and "shoot, shoot, shoot" B#ll#cks. The song is in fact dedicated to the late Bon Scott of AC/DC who died tragically at the hands of alcohol. Fantastic riffing once more from Rhoads

MR. CROWLEY - A dedication to Occult figurehead Aleister Crowley. A dark opeing sequence followed by more crushing riff work from Rhoads. Randy's solo work is sublime

NO BONE MOVIES - Rock and Roll at its purist from Ozzy. A number about his addiction to (among others) pornography

REVELATION (MOTHER EARTH) - Sensational. The mecurial highlight of the album. Rhoads is out of this world...A masterpiece that can not be done justice through words. A musical journey that reminds us that while Ozzy can bite a good bat, he can sure as hell write songs

STEAL AWAY (THE NIGHT) - Ends the album on a high. An easy listener from Ozzy with a great riff that follows nicely from Revelation

5 out of 5 stars A Metal Masterpiece!.......2004-02-01

Blizzard Of Ozz was Ozzy's shineing moment with then guitarist Rhandy Rhoads. This was a land mark album for Metal and Metal guitar. All killer and no filler is a expression that should not be used lightly about this album.

All the songs are Ozzy Classics weither it be 'Goodbye To Romance' 'Crazy Train' or 'Revalation (Mother Earth)' its sure to please. This was Ozzys first album after being fired from his first major band Black Sabbath. This was an instant classic and went multiplatnom.

This was also a landmark album in the guitar world, a little guitar player by the name of Rhandy Rhoads plug in and invented speed metal! And those people that say Rhandy ripped off Eddie Van Halen can just go to hell because the two sound nothing alike! Rhandy is a Neo-Classical prodigy, and a force to be recond with. The solo's on 'Crazy Train' and 'Mr. Crowly' are conciderd my many to be the greatest solos of all time! 'Revelation (Mother Earth)' In my openion is Rhandys best moment on the album. This is a classic Metal album the all metal heads and Black Sabbath fans should own!
