Black Rain's the title. I just found out about it. I'm psyched. www.ozzy.com for a song, samples, shits and giggles. It all means me and mom are gonna listen to new songs both on the album and live when we go to the Milan gig this June. I'm psyched. ;D

I got a trialversion of it in my mp3 player, if it's good I'll buy it, if not, I'll remove it.

I have it. It is good... and strange. It apparently is the first album Ozzy recorded sober, and you can hear it. Voice is much less slurry, and he sounds ten years younger than in Down To Earth (check out his pics on www.ozzy.com - he also looks a lot fitter). All good songs, but the mood is... more serious than what you might expect from Oz. It's like he woke up from his years of being stoned to find himself in a very unpleasant reality. This doesn't seem the same Ozzy whom you might have heard joking about invading Iraq himself or seen cheering at Bush's White House. Main song is about war for oil, with a very critical bent. Same theme is reprised in Civilize The Universe, with verses like "a soldier is just a slave". Two slow songs, one for his wife and the other for his friends/fans. Honestly touching (got a misty eye myself). Melodic, heavy, angry, sad, dry. I suggest people buy it.

I listened to it at work today, and I must say that I like it. I only had one listen through though so I can't really tell any particular songs or what they are called. The mp3 player is hanging about 5 meters away and I can't run over to it all the time...

I'm in love with the guitar solo on 11 Silver. Can't say why. It's amazing ;D
