Ozzy - Scream

OZZY OSBOURNE will release "Scream" — his first album in almost three years and 10th studio album overall — on June 15 via Epic Records. Produced by Ozzy and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for Ozzy's 2007 worldwide million-seller "Black Rain", the album will feature the first single "Let Me Hear You Scream". The fist-pumping anthemic song will have its world premiere, during a prison riot scene, on "CSI: NY" tonight, Wednesday, April 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the CBS television network and also arrives at radio today.

A preview of "Let Me Hear You Scream" is available below.

The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of "Scream" at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker, and co-wrote all the songs, primarily with Churko. Notably, the album marks the first appearance of Ozzy's new guitar player, Gus G. (FIREWIND, ex-DREAM EVIL, ARCH ENEMY). Ozzy's band also features bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson, drummer Tommy Clufetos (ex-ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER) and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

Songtitles set to appear on "Scream" (among others):

* Let Me Hear You Scream
* Diggin' Me Down
* Let It Die
* Soul Sucker
* Fearless
* I Want It All
* Time
* Crucify
* I Love You All

Ozzy will also embark on an 18-month world tour (dates to be announced) in support of "Scream", with news about Ozzfest to emerge next week.

Can't wait,really liked Black Rain and the gig at the point was one of my all time favourites

Classic Ozzy ? ... To me Classic Ozzy is :

Crazy Train
Mr. Crowley
Flying High Again
Over the Mountain
Bark at the Moon
No Bone Movies
Shot in the Dark
The Ultimate Sin
Goodbye to Romance etc etc ...

... this sounds more like the generic crap he's been banging out since he "discovered" Zakk Wylde ...

slavetothegrind

Ah look, we can disagree, some people claim ac/dc have been banging out generic crap all their lives but i could give a ****, i love 'em.

Yeah the early stuff was and is great but so too was the zakk wilde stuff.
You may not like it but his sound was a massive influence for years to come.

If he plays here on this tour go and see him though, it will be great, it always is.:)

waltersobchak

Its no Diary of a Madman thats for damn sure, i dont understand why Gus G isnt playing his own style, its sounds like a sh*t BLS song to be perfectly honest..

PeterIanStaker

The drums are rubbish

chin_grin

Good Dark Lord, that sounds terrible! I can only liken it to one of those "hard rock" theme tunes for <pick one> wrestler!

Kess73

Awful ****e. Sounds like a cross between cast offs of Rob Zombie (although his latest album covers the cast offs idea pretty well as well) and cast offs of BLS.

EyesClosed

doesnt sound all that bad but of course its not going to be his early work people change, i mean he was off his face through all that. His song with slash was class

Bigdeadlydave

Doesn't sound that bad.

I agree, also the guitar sound is bit boring and generic as well.

Thanks for that, it gave a great laugh. It's good to see Ozzy with a great sence of humour.:)

Zakk Wylde was brilliant on No Rest for the Wicked and No more Tears. Everything else after that was pretty bad.

grimm2005

He just overplays on everything after that.

This new single does nothing for me either.

OutlawPete

Why was there no Irish date one the tour I wonder :mad:

Fcuker is player all over Europe for the next few months.

I have a feeling it will be his last also, he's 61 now.

Wolfe Tone

Personally I like the album.
Let it Die is a good song.
Let me hear you scream too
Diggin me down too.

There are a few good songs on it. Personally considering his age and what not it stands up very well. I like it.
One criticism is the drums in it. Dont really like them.

Motley Crue

Got the album this morning, like it, heading to see him in Ozzfest....he's one of the reasons I'm going....I think its a solid release

Wolfe Tone

Ive been blasting it all day, I really really really like it. It grows on you.

brendansmith

I have been hearing this alot on the radio. Terrible sound from the guitars.

I agree, there's no need for a pinch harmonic every two notes.

Gonna listen to to a few new Ozzy tracks & see if they're good.

Also does anyone think "Ozzified" would be a great album title:D

Defo. "Live at Budokan" - an excellent live album partially ruined by Wylde's overplaying, he just can't help himself.

Sometimes Zakk, less is more.........

Not the best choice of song and the videos rather odd,anyhow

Ozzy Osbourne singing his version of the song "How?" from John Lennon's 1971 "Imagine" album. Ozzy has released this as a 70th birthday tribute to John Lennon. All proceeds benefit Amnesty International.
