Album Review: Ozzy Osbourne - Memoirs Of A Madman

Osbourne somehow survived not only the hijinks he put his mind and body through, but ably weathered being kicked out of Black Sabbath with a formidable solo career. Since 1979, he’s manned his own ship, alongside a recent reformation tour with Sabbath, and this 17-track special release captures his best. Eighties gems Mr Crowley, Crazy Train and Flying High Again deserve their slots, recent highlights Let Me Hear You Scream and I Don’t Wanna Stop get a look in, and miraculously, no cringing is necessary when daughter Kelly drops in for a sweet duet, Changes.
