Classic
Hypothetically speaking i personally maintain that this album would be the start for the unique sound that Randy would probably create!a combination of rock n roll and the gargantuan depth of classic music by the way he would knew!!personally speaking i believe that diary...... the track is an amazing idea of the socking mentallity of he people who understand things a litle bit different from the common mortalls!
2nd
Second best album ever.Diary Of A Madman and You Can't Kill Rock N'Roll together?I love Ozzy Osbourne(but I'm not gay).Esse cd só perde mesmo para o Blizzard Of Ozz.
Diary Of A Madman (amazing)
This is the best album of all time to me, next to Blizzard of Oz. The musical talent on this album is simply outstanding and Ozzy at his best. Randy Rhoads makes this album as special as it is because of his amazing guitar playing, and anyone who is a Ozzy fan must be a fan of the AMAZING Randy Rhoads.
Diary of a Madman is just all together just one of the best works ever made in Rock History.
Powerful
I can only hope that Ozzy will one day look at this. This entire album rocks balls, as does all of Ozzy's music, but it also contains, if I HAD to choose one, my favorite song ever: You Can't Kill Rock'n'Roll. My name is Dwayne Dail, and I am the 207th person in the country to be exonerated by DNA evidence. I spent almost 19 years in prison in NC for a crime I did not commit. I have been out for almost 8 months now. I just want Ozzy to know that there were many, many times when his music kept me motivated and that "You Can't Kill Rock'n'Roll," in particular, kept me strengthened through some very hard times. The lyrics are phenomenal. From a life-long fan, you rock, dude, and I have the greatest amount of respect for you as a person. Keep rockin!

Perhaps best heavy metal album ever?
Diary of a Madman
This is a good album. Randy has some good guitar solos. All the songs on this album are like so good.
Ozz
Szevasz Ozzy!!! Szerintem Diary Of A Madman az egyik legkirályabb albumod! Zakk Wylde után Randy Rhoads a legfaszább gitáros!
Thank You, Randy!
Randy Rhoads was the best guitarist to ever live, and the song "Diary Of A Madman" really proves it. May he live forever in whatever comes next.
diary of a madman
You can't kill rock 'n' roll and diary of a madman are absolute masterpieces. Diary of a madman has all the emotion and passion, pain and pleasure of a man troubled. The end of the piece has all the ingredients of rock, classical, almost gospel, chanting and torture that most people at some stage in their life can relate to even if only in a small way. You can be taken away upon hearing these songs , very clever and very poetic. R. I. P. Rhodes !
Rhoads 4-ever!
Ozzy's best album & one of the best album ever made! Randy Rhoads was the best guitarist to ever walk on earth, God took his life & that's a shame for God!
I rate every track 5/5 except for "Tonight" which gets 4/5. Are you convinced enough to buy this album now!?
-DO IT!
Could be the best
This could be ozzy's best album All of the songs are f***ing sweet randys guitar playing is unbeliveible and this is my favorite album to get stoned to.
I LOVE OZZY'S CLASSIC ROCK AND TODAY IT STILL KICKS ASS !!!!!!!
I HAVE NOTHING TO TYPE EXCEPT KEEP ON KEEPING ON
"Flying High Again"
A Masterpiece reason why not to live in a apartment, condo or townhouse with high end gear!
The Best Ozzy album ever
this is absolutely the best ozzy album, it's a pitty what happened to Randy, he would have a brilliant career with ozzy, he is the best guitar player in his solo career. this album is in my top5 from all, and that's saying a lot!!!!
Over the mountain
Over the mountain rocks!
Diary of a Madman
Best OzzY song Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Oui Oui Oui
MY fav song is "Flying high Again"...I remeber once coming home from the pub once, with some of my mates for a game of cards...I put on Flying High Again (as it is always a great party starter) on the record player (yes it was 1982) and cranked it up...little did I know Dad was asleep in the next room as he was put onto night shift...as Ozzy was singing 'Mammas Gonna worry....I've been a bad bad bay' out flys dad and freaked out yelling "no wonder you blokes are all F***ing Crazy!!!!" and stormed off to the bathroom...I said sorry Dad at the the time...(as the heavyest music dad would have heard to that date was Glen Miller's Ragtime Band)
I still get a laugh (25 years later) at the shock and horror on his face as he stormed in! thanks for the memories Ozzy and Randy ! from Aussie Gus...
F-ing Amazing Album
This in my opinion is the best Ozzy record. Well at least it my personal favorite. I used to own this bad boy on cassette back in the day and rock out to it. I just recently picked it up on cd, the new version has re-recorded drum and bass tracks with Rob Trujillo(Metallica) on bass and Mike Borden(current drummer) on drums. It so fresh and crisp, its definetly worth buying if you own the original copy. Plus it's got Randy Rhoads on guitar, without records like this Heavy Metal music would be dead and there would be no such thing as shredding. 5 Stars
& Again
"Diary of a Madman" is awsome!! It's also as awsome as the episode of Inuyasha, where the band of 7 first appear! Those episodes r awsome like h***!
I LOVE THE ALBUM

This is the first album I ever remember listening to and its just as awesome now as it was back then
AWESOME ALBUM!
This is maybe my favorite album by the madman! Why? Diary Of A Madman! I know you may think I'm crazy; but when I heard that song for the very first time, it gave me goosebumps. And still does when I try to hear it surrounded by total darkness. It makes me believe the madman would appear! Hehe...but it's a cool album as whole. If you don't buy this you're a poser!!!!
over the mountain
The absolute BEST song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the BEST part is I was an young adult when it came OUT!!!!!!!!!!

Flying High Again
This was my first Ozzy record! I remember being in the record shop starring at this cool cover for a long time and I knew there was something special with this CD..I bought it and spend the next hours listening to it over and over again..It was just great! The guitar riffs were like no other I had listen to before and there were so much cool melodies..The singing was kind of unique and crazy and pretty cool..It's just such a great record and it was definitely my way in in this crazy world that sorrounds the Ozzman! I love Ozzy Osbourne songs and I always will thanks to this record, so I owe it all to this Diary Of A Madman!
