I would hate to see what OZZY would do to these bands if he ever heard this disgusting attempt to imitate what have become some of the greatest songs ever written! Haven't you people seen what he does to doves? When these songs were written,I'm sure that OZZY intended for the words to be understood. With the exception of Mr. Crowley; which is only ok; two words come to mind: FIRING SQUAD!

Sincerely, Nitemare

I concur. The music on this CD is an embarrasment to Ozzy Osbourne's legacy. I could not find one song that I liked. The only people that may like this CD are those that are into alternative, punk and funk trash metal. As for myself, I just like good old rock and roll.

I bought this ablum thinking that it was a Ozzy Tribute,what
I got was a pure disgrace to the word Ozzy.The only decent part is some of the guitar work.The vocals where TERRIBLE!If you want a true Ozzy tribute try Bat Head Soup.If you by this ablum you are wasting your time.

There is no redeeming value to this at all. You will hear the worst of worst bands straight from a bar with only a few very drunk players. It's the very worst Black and Death metalist in the business destroying songs. This is the worst album in my cd collection. I have around 600 albums. This thing is dirt. A Paper weight. A Coaster!(No Wait I don't want that smelly thing near my drink!). Don't buy it! It's not even worth the text I typed on it! 1. The Ultimate Sin (Performed by: Soulless) - Bad Singer "Death metal style" with the worst guitar player to get a band. . . .30% 2. Bark at the Moon (Performed by: Sanctorum) - WEAK! The vocals are terrable and the guitarest is only ok. This song sounds bad! . . .55% 3. Suicide Soulution (Performed by: Coffin Texts) - I thought the last one was bad till I heard this one! Vocals are terrable growls and the sound on the recording is terrable. "GET THE GUN.....SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT THE DAMN BAND!!!" . . .25% 4. Waiting for Darkness (Performed by: Anno Daemonicus) - Well the music is ok and the vocals plain suck. Then the female singer plain sucks. I like good soft female vocals too, but not in this song at that monment! . . .60% 5. Mr. Crowley (Performed by: Ion Vein) - Decent vocals. I'm surprised! One decent track. Sure ain't special but better than anything else on here by Miles! . . .80% 6. Steal Away (The Night) (Performed by: Killswitch) - The vocals are ok, and the band plain sucks. Well at least the vocals are getting better! . . .70% 7. S.A.T.O. (Performed by: Deceased) - Decent music and the vocals sound like a bad clone of Peter Steele of Type O Negative. It's not a very good recording either. When is this Voyage coming to an end?! . .45% 8. Believer (Performed by: Decay Of Salvation) - Very low growls in this one. THE WORST lol! They down right sound terrable! I'm not a Believer! . . .40%9. Over the Mountain (Performed by: Tyrant) - A Dio /Ozzy clone?! He sounds weird. The music is terrable but maybe this guy will find a real band and tons of practice, Maybe he'll make a good clone! . . .60% 10. Flying High Again (Performed by: Vile) - OH NO! I'm drowning in terrable vocals! The music sounds like it comes out of a can. This song is sickening! My buddys drunk sound better than these jokes at the bar! . . .0% 11. I Don't Know (Performed by: October 31) - Ok vocals with a band that is out of sink. Scratch that he's a terrable singer! And it ends! . . .50% What I would suggest you get (INSTEAD) of this album...... "A Tribute to Ozzy - Bat Head Soup" and also check out:Ozzy Osbourne- Blizzard of Ozz (Blue Border Version), Ozzy Osbourne- Diary of a Madman (Green border Version),Ozzy Osbourne- Bark at the moon, Ozzy Osbourne- The Ultimate sin. I had a hard time reviewing this cause of how bad it was. If you don't believe me, Go buy it and kill yourself! lolIt's That bad!

This stuff is terrible. These bands murdered Ozzy's classic tunes. The only real song that comes close to matching the intensity of the original is Ion Storms version of Mr. Crowley, all the others are nu metal type stuff, and it ruined the songs. In another review someone said that these were true metal bands...not at all. THIS IS NU METAL, NU METAL SUX, NU METAL BANDS RUIN OLD TUNES!!!! Real metal bands are Slayer, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Pantera, and the best of all...The Ozzman himself. Stick to the original Ozzy stuff and not tribute albums- they usually suck

This dosen't even deserve one star for the rating. Its almost as if the people who made this album were making fun of ozzy, rather than trying to make a tribute. I firmly believe anyone who gives this album a good review MUST have either helped put the album together, or are related to someone who did. If you like ozzy's sound, you will not find any of it in this. It almost sounds like the person on the first few tracks only growls into the mic, staying on the same note through out the song. if ozzy heard this, i'm sure he'd be horribly apauled. Hopefully the musicians in this album never attempt another recording.

First, I'd like to tell all of the people who don't like "growl" vocals that if you're going to judge the album solely on that lame excuse, then bury your head up your ass. Dwell Records tribute albums are for mostly DEATH METAL BANDS paying tribute to their idols who helped bring about the genre through their founding style, heavy metal.

If you don't appreciate death metal, by all means, go back home to Mommy and crank your lame ass sissy metal. Why would I want to hear a band that sounds like Ozzy play OZZY songs?!?!? That's lame and unoriginal.

How about hearing modern metal bands taking their idols' songs that they grew up with and helped forge their musical careers and cranking them up 12 notches??? Hell yeah, that's what I want to hear!

Bottom line....if you don't like death metal vocals, pass on Dwell Record compilations. If you wanna hear amped up, hellified versions of old metal songs, grab these comps.

I would hate to see what OZZY would do to these bands if he ever heard this disgusting attempt to imitate what have become some of the greatest songs ever written! Haven't you people seen what he does to doves? When these songs were written,I'm sure that OZZY intended for the words to be understood. With the exception of Mr. Crowley; which is only ok; two words come to mind: FIRING SQUAD!

Sincerely, Nitemare

Totally worth the $... I paid for it.:) It's always nice to see what artists can do with each others music and this is a shining example of what happens when true metal bands get to grinding on some old classics. Basically if you like Ozzy then youll like this.

this is an awesome tribute to OZZY, the man that made all metal! buy this now!
