BLOODBATH IN PARADISE
and miracle man make this worth it, but this is my most played OZZY cd.


not his best
to me breakin all the rules and fire in the sky are the albums standouts. While not as good as his early solo stuff, it still is good.


no rest for anyone because it's so good
I'm honestly NOT a fan of his playing, but he's good enough for this outing. No Rest for the Wicked is a bit different from the previous Ozzy albums, thanks to a drastically different guitarist.

"Miracle Man" is definitely a classic, along with "Fire in the Sky" and "Breaking All the Rules". I'd say, if you're a fan of Ozzy's singing and vocal style, this is a great album.

But the guitar playing isn't very good most of the time, even though it's tolerable at least (it would become a screechy, annoying mess on the No More Tears album). For here at least, the guitarist knows not to go overboard and keeps things somewhat simple. It's not as good of an album as the previous four (Blizzard of Ozz through Ultimate Sin) but it's memorable for Ozzy's vocals alone.

Classic Ozzy
I had it and got rid of it. I had this cassette years ago when it came out. After listening to it on Amazon, the songs got me interested. I purchased the cd. It is Zakks first cd with Ozzy and a classic. The songs bring back good memories, and the songs are great. Personal favorites are "Miracle Man," "Tattoed Dancer," "Fire In The Sky," and "Hero. " This cd is remastered with bonus songs "The Liar," and an unrealeased live performance of "Miracle Man. " Glad I purchased this cd again. An Ozzy classic. Thank you Amazon.


Man, this thing has clocked up some serious miles on my stereo
Nor more than a casual Ozzy fan, so the fact that I've awarded this thing one of my rare five starts and played it to death over the years is a testament to just how good this thing is. I'm not a huge Sabbath fan.

Starting off with Miracle Man, a humourous and perenially timely attack on sanctimonious preachers, this album promises metal on metal. And it delivers with Ozzy in scintillating form. The man at his most attacking in the aforementioned Miracle Man, at his most broken and plaintive in Fire In The Sky, at his most vicious and morally bankrupt in Devils Daughter and Tattooed Dancer and at his most autobiographical in Demon Alcohol.

And the focus of the whole thing is kind of intimidating. Sure, during the late 90's and the 00's we got used to the feeling that bands had hugely focussed on the minutiae of their albums but in the 80's that wasn't always the case and for a chemical commando like Ozzy you couldn't take it for granted that there would be such focus. But the whole organisation seems 100% behind this disc from the star production team of Keith Olsen and Roy Thomas Baker through to the band of expert veterans. Bob Daisley and Randy Castillo are certainly 'name' guys to have as your engine room and Zakk Wylde is at his manic best, basically forging his own legend with riffs that would withstand a nuclear blast and solos so biting they'd carve through battleship armour.

But hey, don't take my word for it - it's cheap enough so add it to your cart and crak it in the comfort of your own home!.
