Ozzy’s later solo works feel very different from his earlier albums. While I appreciate the more polished production, there’s something special about the raw simplicity of those first four records. Then again, we could probably say the same for a lot of artists.

Revolution mit dem Tanzbein: Black Sabbath - The End: Live in Birmingham

Am 4. Februar 2017 nahmen die Pioniere des Heavy Metal ihren Abschied. Es war in Birmingham, der Heimatstadt der Mitglieder von Black Sabbath und der letzten Station ihrer 81. Tournee mit dem Titel "The End", wo sie vor einem Publikum aus begeisterten Fans auftraten. Seit ihren Anfängen im Jahr 1968 hat der Sound von Black Sabbath die Grundlagen des Heavy Metal gelegt und Musiker aus der ganzen Welt inspiriert. Gefilmt am 4. Februar 2017 in Birmingham, Vereinigtes Königreich.

What I did in the last couple of weeks (part 667):

As Black Sabbath was hard for me to get into, I started binging Ozzy Osbourne's solo records.

After some weeks of on/off listening to Ozzy solo and Black Sabbath, I must say that the first two of his solo albums are really something special compared to the rest of his discography.

Oh, there are hits and bangers in later records. But the first two really stand out.

Randy Rhoads was a genius. That guitar playing is off the charts.

Not sure if it is Randy's influence and songwriting that makes those two so much more noticeable than the rest. Or Ozzy's alcohol problems. Or him and his songwriters running out of ideas. But the albums after those two are mostly mediocre, the melodies are standard, the guitars are standard.

(Yes, I know, Zakk Wylde is a great guitarist, but at the moment all Ozzy records with him are sounding very much alike)

I'll give them some more time to see what happens...

What I did in the last couple of weeks (part 666):

In a previous post I mentioned that I listened to TaylorSwift a lot. After finishing that, of course I had to start digging into #BlackSabbath and #OzzyOsbourne.

I am having a hard time with #BlackSabbath, at least the first couple of albums with Ozzy Osbourne.

I cannot put my finger on it, but these records do hit a nerve. I have listened to them multiple times, this far not too many songs stand out (except the obvious ones like Paranoid, Iron Man, etc.). I can understand why people were fascinated, but on the other hand many songs and melodies are pretty basic and mediocre. But still I cannot stop listening. Weird.

I'll let you know how it is in a week or so, let's see where it goes...
