Digitally remastered by Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering).

Released three years after his departure from Black Sabbath, DIARY is Ozzy's second solo album. A true metal masterpiece, the record features Randy Rhoads (previously in Quiet Riot). DIARY and its successors showed that Ozzy could not only make it on his own, but exceed his former bandmates in popularity.

"Over The Mountain" rumbles in and features the often imitated-never duplicated soloing of Randy Rhoads. The man is arguably the most influential guitarist in heavy rock besides Eddie Van Halen. "Flying High Again" follows, and is Ozzy's ode to non-stop partying. "Tonight" is a wonderful ballad, showing Randy's tasteful restraint. "S.A.T.O." is vintage Osbourne, with metal riffage only he can deliver. The title track begins with beautiful electric and acoustic guitar overdubs, and concludes the record with bombast. It is clear the Ozzman is at his peak on this album. Ozzy will never be considered a "singer's singer," and his penchant for biting the heads off live animals may overshadow his musical abilities. But albums like DIARY show why he will forever be the Godfather of Heavy Metal.

Includes liner notes by Phil Alexander.

1 star Album is changed by "remixing."
Buy the original releases or the remastered ones from 1995. The newer remastered ones from 2002 DO NOT have the original musicians who performed on the album!

1 star JUNK!
Do NOT get this remastered version! Ozzy and Sharon ruined this great album by re-recording the bass & drums. I grew up listening to this stuff and this disaster totally destroys the memories of listening to Diary of a Madman for the first time back in '81....They should be ashamed of themselves for doing this...Stick to the original.

5 stars R.I.P Randy Rhoads
Randy Rhoads is one of the best guitar players that ever lived and the whole world is missing out. He helped the OZZMAN come alive again. Dairy Of A Mad Man is yet again an awesome album.
