You gotta add this one to your collection. The whole CD is awesome. I rock out with this one almost all the time and I LOVE IT!

I really love "Tomorrow," Ozzy's voice just drives me nuts in that song >:oP ... Who else has his timbre and expressions with his voice? He's a seriously AMAZING artist.

And if you can listen to Thunder Underground and not say 'DAMN' on so many levels? You're made of STONE! That song I always crank up SOOOOO LOUD one day I'm sure it's going to blow my car speakers.

"See you on the Other Side," "Ghost Behind My Eyes," "Old LA Tonight," very very special songs to me.

Living in the big house, dying by the rail
If I wanted your opinion I'd dial you up in hell

Yea, this has a great mix of music from over the years. I play this one quite often along with Ozzmosis, Down to Earth, and No Rest for the Wicked.

Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final, for only the living
The spirit will always remain

This CD is a DEFINITE MUST BUY.

It takes you to the deep, dark side of music with hard sounding riffs and awesome tight sounds. The lyrics are amazing, and Ozzys vocals ROCK. It equates with Metallica's Black Album or Godsmack's Godsmack IV. Every last damn song is WELL DONE. Front to back.

Kudo's to all who worked to bring this to us.

I load the dice and fake a smile upon my face
With fingers crossed I switch the perfume with the mace

This CD brought back alot of memories. It's definitely my least favorite of Ozzy's recordings because of a couple of the songs (on All the Young Dudes, the guy talking in the background just drives me nuts - it's the worst remake of that part of the song I've ever heard, Fire, and Sympathy for the Devil - errgh), but I still listen to it periodically.

I especially love his take on John Lennon/Paul McCartney songs. He should do a whole CD of their songs - his voice is so well suited, I was very suprised to hear them and love them as much as if not more than the originals. I think "In My Life" is an amazing cover. Beautiful.

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Is this CD worth buying? DEFINITELY! This music is, as is true of everything Ozzy Osbourne and his band put their fingers on, gold.

Is Black Rain different then Ozzy's older music? For sure. Despite difference, it too is bad@ss. Ozzy belts out political commentary on issues facing the world today, songs that speak of his love of music, songs that reflect lessons learned in life and with addiction, and songs of comfort to his wife, fans, and family.

If it was the same old same old, everyone would b**** that his music all sounds the same.

This CD Rocks, with layers and layers of sound that are just amazing to listen to. It reflects the work of mature, accomplished musicians.
