5.0 out of 5 stars Ozzy's 'Best Of' CD all fans should own, June 28, 2000

Forget the Epic release of this CD, this Sony Music release blows it away! Contains an extra CD with tracks such as 'Walk on Water' heard only in the 'Beavis and Butthead Do America' soundtrack. Following that is a very interesting track, which has Ozzy himself singing for Type O Negative in a song called 'Pictures of Matchstick Men'.. The extra CD is wrapped up by an interview in the early 90's. Well worth the money!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ozzy Osbourne - Ozzman Cometh: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

(By the way, I'm over 12, I just couldn't figure out how to write a regular review.)

I've been a die-hard, no-nonsense rock fan for a long time now, and until two months ago, my favorite was KISS. Then, the arm of God reached down thru the clouds, and with His pinkie, touched my ear with a miracle: Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tears." I promptly bought "The Ozzman Cometh," and lo; a miracle surpassing all others! This album is one of the best in my extensive collection (OK, so most of the CD's are my dad's, but so what?), both in quality and content. All songs are beautifully remastered, except "War Pigs" and "Black Sabbath." These two tracks are straight out of Ozzy's 1970 Basement Tapes, rehearsals with the early Sabbath. (And you will agree with me that it's a relief that Ozzy doesn't sound like that anymore.)

The track "War Pigs" was originally entitled "Walpurgis," meaning "The Witches' Sabbath." These are the original lyrics and riffs, a far removal from the more well-known version of "War Pigs;" surprisingly, the lyrics are even darker, creepier, and more blasphemous. These two Sabbath tracks are the only two on the entire CD.

The rest are Ozzy's own favorite, hand-picked best from 1981's "Blizzard of Ozz" to 1995's "Ozzmosis." There are a couple of great live tracks, including Randy Rhoad's interp of "Paranoid." In addition, he has added previously unreleased track "Back on Earth," and that only covers Disc 1! On the second disc are several rare, excellent tracks only heard on places such as the soundtrack for "Beavis and Butthead Do America." The Ozzman has also Cometh up with a photo and a story or explanation for each song.

This is an excellent album for the collection of any rock/metal fan. You'll be able to listen to it over and over without tiring of it- you have my word as a fan and rock musician!
