OZZY OSBOURNE Ordinary Man CD (2020)

Sixty years into a career that should have killed him three times over, Ozzy Osbourne made a record that sounds like someone settling scores with mortality and winning on points. Ordinary Man arrived in 2020 with Post Malone on the title track and Elton John on piano, which sounds like a fever dream but somehow holds together under the weight of Ozzy being, well, Ozzy.

What makes this one worth your shelf space is the sincerity. No comeback desperation, no nostalgia cash-in. Just the Prince of Darkness working through his own legend with Andrew Watt producing and Chad Smith behind the kit. "Under the Graveyard" opens like a man staring down his own obituary and daring it to blink first. The heavy metal lineage runs deep here, threading back through BLACK SABBATH's original doom and forward into something that feels genuinely unfinished in the best possible way.
