 (31 Customer Reviews)
Recorded between March 22 & April 19, 1980. Includes liner notes by Phil Alexander.
Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering).
After the quiet implosion of Black Sabbath, the wise money was not on former vocalist, Ozzy, being the one to redeem himself musically. However, with shrewd management by his wife and a hotshot Californian in the shape of ex-Quiet Riot guitarist, Randy Rhoads, he reinvented himself and his musical persona, and created a startling debut album. Combining Rhoads' impetuous flurries of heavily stylized guitar, his own series of lyrical caricatures--"Crazy Train" and "Revelation (Mother Earth)"--and a healthy dose of controversy, citing renowned satanist Aleister Crowley as the subject matter for "Mr. Crowley," he ensured himself acclaim and commerciality in equal measure.

It's a shame that such an excellent album was tampered with by the never-ending greed of the Osbournes. They finally get around to releasing You Looking At Me and they wreck the album by re-recording new bass and drums. It's blasphemy! Go to your local used music shop and seek out the original CD and avoid this trainwreck.

 Blizzard Of Ozz...
was a great album, before it was thampered with. Wasn't the original bass line and drums replaced, or something like that? It's wrecked, as far as I am concerned.

Classic CD Ruined
How could you possibly tamper with such a classic CD by re-recording the bass and drums? What a foolish mistake! I had to recycle this disc. I couldn't stand listening to it after it had been altered. Avoid this 'remastered' version and seek out the original, if you can find it anywhere.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Randy + Ozzy = Heavy Metal
Ozzy Osbournes first solo album with the one and only Randy Rhoads. this remasted and re-recorded bass and drums sound no different from the original 1980 version. Randys Guitar sounds amazin on the songs Crazy Train,I Don't Know,Goodbye To romance,Suicide Solution,and Mr.Crowley.
Ozzy your voice sounds amzing back then. R.I.P Randy.

 This is not as bad as I had heard!
With the bass parts being rerecorded by Trujillo and Bordon, this is not quite the turkey I had heard or imagined, Sure, it is a little different sounding bass and drums, but then they have been rerecorded. I still prefer the original....but still this is a pretty good listen. I always loved this album!

| | Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis CD (1995) Remastered
Blizzard Of Ozz
$7.59
Let us all be thankful that Ozzy's retirement didn't stick. It supposedly lasted for three days, after which he got bored and started working on this project. Heavy, riff-intensive tunes, progressive song structures and a little psychedelia give OZZMOSIS a definite Sabbath flavor. Ozzy must have been in touch with whatever inspired early classics like PARANOID and MASTERS OF REALITY. Witness the extremely chunky "Thunder Underground," which can stand up next to "Sweet Leaf" and "Symptom Of The Universe" as an archetype of hard rock. The trippy guitar in "Ghost Behind My Eyes" and "Denial" are not some ...
