Ozzy Osbourne: Scream, Gus G Debuts his Guitar Magic

Ozzy Osbourne does it once again, adding another heavy rock album to a growing list of classic Ozzy albums. “Scream” Ozzy’s newest album shines through the heavy metal dust that he has collected over the last few years.

 

With a new guitarist Gus G, Ozzy adds another guitar master to the Ozzy worthy ranks. Gus G debuts his guitar magic on Scream, much like Ozzy’s past guitarists.

 

Here is the list of classic Ozzy albums, with their respect guitar heroes. Although Ozzy has some albums that lack the heavy metal anthems, he does come back with a classic every few years, and with a new guitar hero.

 

Blizzard of Oz (Randy Rhoads)

Diary of a Madman (Randy Rhoads)

Bark at the Moon (Jake E. Lee)

No More Tears (Zakk Wylde)

Scream (Gus G)

 

Gus G has been compared to Randy Rhoads by some critics, and the album Scream does prove it, and gives Gus G (Blizzard of Oz) kind of debut, like Randy had done. Although Randy is still by far the favorite of all Ozzy’s guitarists, Gus G might be the equivalent, but on his own terms, time will tell.

 

Some of the songs on “Scream” that makes Gus G shine are, Let it Die, Soul Sucker, Life Won’t Wait, Crucify, Diggin’ Me Down, and Time.

Ozzy has once again reclaimed his title as “Prince of Darkness”; the album is pure Ozzy at his best, and Ozzy the only way we want to know him. All the songs on the album are pure metal madness.

 

Track listing of Scream:

1. “Let it Die”
2. “Let Ne Hear You Scream”
3. “Soul Sucker”
4. “Life Won’t Wait”
5. “Diggin’ Me Down”
6. “Crucify”
7. “Fearless”
8. “Time”
9. “I Want it More”
10. “Latimer’s Mercy”
11. “I Love You All”
12. “One More Time” (i-Tunes Pre Order)
13. “Jump The Moon” (Japanese Bonus Track)

 

Scream is a great album, that will be a classic, and part of the Ozzy catalog of classic albums.

Music Releases: Ozzy, Miley Cyrus, and Eminem

Music releases for week of June 22nd, has some big names, and anticipated releases. Some of the new music being released this week include Ozzy Osbourne, Miley Cyrus, and Eminem.

 

This will be an exciting week for new music, As there are a diverse selection of new music releases, and so many albums, that had been in the pipe line to be released for so long.

 

Ozzy Osbourne releases his new album “Scream”, which should be quite interesting for many reasons. This will be the first album that Ozzy has recorded without Zakk Wylde. Zakk had been replaced by Firewind’s guitarist Gus G. It will be interesting to see how the guitars will sound on Ozzy’s newest release.

 

Since the death of Randy Rhoads, Ozzy’s first guitarist after he left his band Black Sabbath. Zakk Wylde had been the most consistent and longest guitar member for Ozzy, and creating the Ozzy sound we have known  for the last 20 years. Gus G, Ozzy’s new guitarist will be the focus for the next few months.

 

Miley Cyrus just recently released her newest album “Can’t Be Tamed”, which we see Miley making her transition from Hannah Montana, to a slightly more aggressive character, which is more or less “you’re typical teenage girl”.

 

Some of the reviews so far had been very judgmental on Miley’s music, abilities, and image.  One thing we have to remember about Miley Cyrus is she is a teenage girl, so she is naturally going to be going through changes, I think the critics are being a little harsh on Miley.

 

One thing we can say, Miley does co write all the songs on her latest album “Can’t Be Tamed”, so this is good achievement. Her new album should sell extremely well like the others, her legions of devoted fans are there. Interestingly Miley Cyrus will be someone to watch over the next 5 years, as she matures into a young woman.

 

Eminem is another anticipated release, with his new album “Recovery”, since it had been delayed a few times from being released. Many critics are giving it a thumbs down, but his fans will be the ones to judge “Recovery”. Eminem had always been an interesting artist, and sells very well. His fans have always been there waiting for him.

 

Other music being released this week also includes Cyndi Lauper, with her new album “Memphis Blues”, Uncle Kracker with an EP “Happy Hour – The South River Sessions, Dweezil Zappa, with “Return Of The Son Of…”.

Sarah McLachlan: Laws Of Illusion Music Review

Sarah McLachlan has released her latest album “Laws of Illusion”, which is an interesting, intriguing, and intimate album. Starting with the theme of the album “Laws of Illusion” it is a clear indication of the albums mood and theme.

 

The albums theme is love, lost, forgiveness, healing, and learning to love again.

 

Laws of Illusion has a great marketing style, which truly reflects the album, its intimate songs and mood. The album art of Sarah sitting on a quarter moon in the sky with stars all around is a wonderful picture.

 

One look at the picture, and you would first think it is a children’s album, or fairy tale, but in fact it is a fairy tale album, but for adults.

 

This is one of Sarah McLachlan’s most personal albums to date, that shines on her raw emotions of love, happiness, and reality of life. This album is a “women in music” kind of album, which describes a woman’s feelings.

 

Songs on the album like Awakenings, Illusions Of Bliss, and Rivers Of Love give the listener the emotions, beauty of the melodies, and the hope of love to come. Sarah does a great job at crafting her songs and melodies, and along with her unique and recognizable voice, which undeniably make them Sarah McLachlan songs.

 

All the songs on the album are pretty much like a theme album, and a real life fairy tale.

 

Amazingly “Laws Of Illusion” is an album that kind of goes back to her roots in music, at the same time is very consistent with her singing and melody, but also moves forward, as she has matured in her lyrics.

 

Sarah McLachlan sings songs about what we all go through, love, love lost, the pain and agony, as well as moving forward and hoping for a new love and life.

 

Laws of Illusion contain 12 songs, which are remarkably great songs.

 

Track Listing of Laws of Illusion:

1. Awakenings
2. Illusions Of Bliss
3. Loving You Is Easy
4. Changes
5. Forgiveness
6. Rivers Of Love
7. Love Come
8. Out Of Tune
9. Heartbreak
10. Don’t Give Up On Us
11. U Want Me 2
12. Bring On The Wonder

Sarah McLachlan is one of Canada’s most underrated Divas, and is often over looked since everyone is fixed on Celine Dion, (which in respect to her is fine) but Sarah is the real diva here.

 

Laws Of Illusion is a great album, and is sure to please all of Sarah’s fans. With Lilith Fair around the corner, the songs on her album will reflect women in music on the upcoming tour.

 

With over 40 million albums sold worldwide, countless charities she promotes, and Lilith Fair, there is only one thing you can say about Sarah McLachlan, Brava to a Diva.

The two new music releases this week, that are going to be very interesting, would be Christina Aguilera with her new album Bionic, and Jewel with her new album Sweet And Wild.

 

 

Christina Aguilera releases “Bionic”, which is going back to her dance music days of “Genie in a Bottle”, this should be an album that goes back to doing what she had done best in the past.

 

Christina’s last CD “Back To Basics”, was a change from her usual techno dance music, with a Jazzy style music, which alienated most of her fans.

 

Since the birth of her son, Christina had been out of the spot light, since then a new queen had emerged in the “Shock and Awe” visual technique.

 

 

Will Xtina come back to claim her title of Sexy, Sleazy, and Outrageous performer?, or will Lady Gaga keep the title and challenge Xtina?

 

The next month, will prove who and how this will happen. Christina Augilera’s Bionic will be reviewed shortly.

 

Next up on the interesting music releases is Jewel, and her new CD “Sweet And Wild”. Jewel continues her country music stint with Sweet And Wild, with songs such as “Once upon a time, used to feel so fine”, and Sweet and Wild”.
