OZZY OSBOURNE "Black Rain" Reviews

OZZY OSBOURNE 'Black Rain' cover art
AZRating: 5.9
Users rating: 9.0

Release: 10 May 2007
Label: Sony
Genre: Rock, Metal

Los Angeles Times Rating: 7.5

"Black Rain" can't be compared with Ozzy's early-'80s work, falls just below the mark of 1991's "No More Tears," and floats close to the level of his other major statements over the last two decades - all different, all unbalanced, all good.  Full text...

Ozzy breaks new ground.  Full text...


Dotmusic Rating: 7.0

With Ozzy fast approaching 60, "Black Rain" is far from being the dog that might be expected from the loveable buffoon that's been presented in recent years. And only a churl would grumble when Ozzy declares triumphantly in his trademark nasal whine: "I'm not going away".  Full text...


RollingStone Rating: 5.0

On Black Rain, longtime axman Zakk Wylde repeatedly breaks out generic metal riffs that were used to significantly better effect on 1991's No More Tears.  Full text...


Sputnikmusic.com Rating: 3.0

There are two very good tracks, and the rest is just mediocre. Black Rain was a real let-down for me, and I know it will be for everyone else who has been waiting for it for a long time.   Full text...

people expect too much from ozzy . overall the album is good , i think in a metal world of bland repeated overdoneness this album is much welcomed reminder of classic rock and it staying power.

the prince of darkness still remains one of the best song writers out there, with songs like; black rain, and lay your world on me, he deserves all the respect. all i got to say is keep doing it OZZY!!

It rocks!!!


Debbie H Rating: 7.0

Ozzy truly is a great writer in the metal industry. I could listen to him for another 20 years.
Zakk, a little too familiar with the same riffs but still bad!


dog kcor Rating: 9.0

Although some of the riffs sound a whole lot like BLS (hmmmmm, wonder why), the whole compliation rocks, from the ballads to the heavy. It shows that after all these years Oxxy still "has It" and can hold his own with the up and comers. Who can still learn a thing or two from one of the greatest rock gods.

black rain is an awesome album. for all the nay sayers on this i would like to see them still do there job at 60. ozzy is the man.


Don King Rating: 9.0

Ozzy may be nearing the age of 60, but he is still one of the best rockers. All of the new bands coming out need to sit down and listen to his stuff and take some new notes. Ozzy is the artist that could easily be around for another 7-8 years.

I think its great...Ozzy is great ...wish some of the new groups would take some lessons from the master


Lycan Ink Slinger Rating: 8.0

Ozzy is Timeless...always has been and always will be one of the Metal Gods...

Ozzy continues to put out good albums. The reviews by the magazines prove that these critics wouldn't like anything even if it was written by one of their close family members. Hire some new people who actually like music to review albums. Ozzy is great!!!

Black Rain is an absolute incredible album by the ozzman. don't listen to any of these negatives, if you are a true ozzy fan, its 10 all the way. praise to ozzy for moving on to a new sound and style approach. i'm so tired of people comparing new albums to 80's music. if you were true ozzy fans you would realize that ozzy adapts and his music sound changes, that's what makes him so unique and great. the recording is amazing, digital sound. the drums sound like mike bordin is playing in front of you on lay your world on me. keep going ozzy, your music changes my life.

Black Rain is awhsome you cant expect it to be better than his earlier work however it still rocks out and its ozzy for gods sake. You cant mess with ozzy! Ozzy is amazing and always has been and always will be like he says he doesnt want to stop and he never will. Ozzy Rocks!


Bob Cena Rating: 10.0

Hearing "I DONT WANNA STOP", makes me never want to stop listening to the song and the rest of the C.D. Its the best Ozzy C.D ever.
