"I'm not that kind of person, you
think I am. I'm not the Anti-Christ, or the Iron Main". That's the first
lines of the opening track of the new Ozzy Osbourne album. The 52 year old
living legend wants to make it perfectly clear that he is an ordinary person
just like you an me. For those of you who have seen the old Black Sabbath
vocalist in real life lately the term "living" might seem to be a slight
exaggeration but his voice is still alive and well. The music Ozzy left
completely up to his fellow band members this time - Zakk Wylde, Robert
Trujillo and Mike Bordin have all put their traces on this album.
Unfortunately the sonds themselves are rather simple and simetimes even boring
with some outstanding exceptions like the first two and the last two tracks.
Luckily the album still maintains a high quality thanks to the vocals from the
man himself. No-one has ever sounded the way he does and this makes him the
kind of unique person he is today. Even though he can hardly take care of
himself these days, which is incredibly sad, he still knows how to sing.
However he doesn't sound very good in the ballads and too little metal is my
conclusion of "Down To Earth". Since it is Ozzy and since the album is
released on SOny it will still be among the best selling metal albums of the
year. It is of course very good, just not THE
best.
