OZZY OSBOURNE Black Rain CD (2007)

By 2007, Ozzy Osbourne had outlived half the people who'd predicted he wouldn't make it to thirty. Black Rain arrived with Zakk Wylde still bolted to his side and absolutely nothing to prove.

It's a heavy metal record that knows exactly what it is. No reinvention, no chasing trends, just arena-sized riffs, that unmistakable voice, and the kind of songwriting that comes from someone who played in Black Sabbath before most of its listeners were born. Tracks like I Don't Wanna Stop and Black Rain lean into the Wylde-era Ozzy sound fans actually showed up for. A solid pick for anyone building out their heavy metal CD collection or who still believes in the physical format as the correct way to listen to music.

Full length album CD. UK pressing, 2007. Heavy metal.
