Music reviews of No Rest for the Wicked
Music Review: If Hard Rock was in the dictionary....
Rating: 5 Stars
......then this album would be the picture next to it!! I'm dead serious, you don't like it then don't read this review cuz all I got is good stuff:
The Original Track list:
1. Miracle Man: I heard this song before I bought this album because I had the 6-track "Just Say Ozzy" EP (WTF was I thinking?) and thought it was great, but this version is that much greater! The intro to this is awesome with Zakk's 'Wylde' riffs and Ozzy's inventive lyrics for the hypocritical Jimmy Swagert. By the way Zakk's solo is great, it sonds part Van Halen part Satriani inspired 10/10
2. Devil's Daughter (Holy War): I think this has got to be one of Ozzy's most underrated songs, I'll even go as far as saying this should have been a hit instead of Crazy Babies (which was really weird in the first place). The bass and riffs on this are awesome and Ozzy has a certain dramatic flair on this piece. Definitely a 10/10.
3. Crazy Babies: I used to think that this song was kind of weird, I still do but in a lyrical sense and not songwise sense. THere is GREAT guitar spots throughout this track by Wylde and the tempo is just outstanding. Even Ozz's party boy lines are great on here. 9/10
4. Breaking all the Rules: A truly balls-to-the-wall track. From the heavy intro all the way to the 'rules' chant is awesomeness. It's easy to see why this became a hit. 9/10
5. Bloodbath in Paradise: Before going on with this track review I just want to address a few things: in the booklet for the newly remastered edition they say this is Vietnam inspired. Thats crazy, anyone with half a brain stem can tell just by LISTENING not even having to read the lyrics that it is inspired from the Manson family! Now onto the review: This songg is absolutely #$#%ng unbelievable. In fact I would rate it next to some of the tracks from Blizzard/Diary. Listen and make your own judgement. Rating: makes the "Helter Skelter" movie look like bull#$%t. 11/10
6. Fire In the Sky: FIrst off let me just say to all of those that are like : "Zakk's solo in FIre in the SKy is better than any of Randy's solos." I disagree. In fact, I think that there will never be anyone who can or will be as great as Randy Rhoads was, but I'll get to that later (saving it for my 'Tribute' review). I will say though that this solo is proof of why Zakk is Ozzy's guitarist: the guitar solo is sooooo unbelievably great that only a Mega-virtuoso like Wylde could pull off. The other thing about this is that it shows the beauty of Zakks guitar playing: he played so beautifully that it still keeps the melodic-like atmosphere while having the ubergreat virtuoso solo. THis song would have sounded great on Bill and Tedds Excellent Adventure (random but pratical). Rating: If only the Gods were mortal men with guitars, then they would be like Zakk Wylde! This track is easily the greatest on the album and I would rate it with the best of Blizzard of Ozz and daresay even Diary of a Madman. THe solo spot in my opinion is also better that No More Tears. 25/10
7. Tattoed Dancer: This song seems kind of out of place with the rest of the material. Of course the percussion on this is outstanding: Randy Castillo is such an awesome drummer, in fact I consider him one of the greatest in the history of heavy metal (face reality he could kick the crap out of Lee Kerslake and Tommy Aldridge, as great as they are.) But the lyrics, they are sooo UNOZZY! Leave writing dirty songs to Poison or Motley Crue, not Ozzy. Admit it, it's really awkward to hear Ozzy scream: "Dance for me b#$ch!" with that said I would have to give it an 11/10 because the drumming unbelievable.
8. Demon Alcohol: Unlike what the 'professional' critics say, I don't consider this a sequel to suicide solution because when Ozzy made Suicide Solution it was a tribute to his dearly departed friend and beer buddy Bon Scott. Demon Alcohol is about his own problem, which means it is not that sequel they are talking about. Nice riffs and beats throughout and the mention of 'suicide solutions' in there is just lyrical genious on Ozzy's part. 10/10
9. Hero: Supposedly the hidden track on the original cd version, it seems that the Ozzy camp has gotten smart enough to include it on the track listing this time. A beautiful ballard, you can definitely hear the emotion in the music. I think that this song is really about how much Ozzy gives to the audience whenever he is out there in frontman form, which if you ask me even in his old crippled state now, his voice sounds like crap, he may limp like a 150 year old, but the heart of the man is still there. and this song says it all. Rating: It comes from the heart of the man, that is one thing I can not rate, but if I could I would give it an 11/10
Extra Tracks:
10. The Liar: I can't believe they didn't keep this track on here! It would have fit perfectly well right after 'Hero'. In alot of ways this reminds me of 'Spiders', the bonus track on BATM. There is a light melodic bass line throughout and at times a little bit of riff, good for soothing ones spirit when down. 10/10
11. Miracle Man(Live): Better than the normal version and way better than the JSO version. It somehow keeps the riff atmopshere of the original but yet at the same time keep the live production atmosphere of JSO. LIsten to this and you can tell that Ozzy just loves stickin it to the man, which in this case is Jimmy Swaggert. I like this version better than Just Say Ozzy because there is more of a live feel in this one (for example in the middle of the song Ozzy shouts: "everybody clap your f#$%#ng hands!") YOu should definitely check out the 2002 remaster. 11/10
NOw if you don't like this album, then you are a big fat retard! Don't worry I'm just kiddn'! However, if you don't like it then give a legitamite excuse besides "I don't like Ozzy" or some crazy crap like that. I for one obey the guidelines, you should too.
Out of all of Ozzy's albums, this would be my fourth favorite. Here's how I would rate Ozzy's albums from best to worst:
1.Randy Rhoads Tribute
2.Diary of a Madman
3.Blizzard of Ozz
4.No Rest for the Wicked
5.No More Tears
6.The Ultimate Sin
7.Live and Loud
8.Just Say Ozzy
9.Speak of the Devil
10.Bark at the Moon
11.Ozzmosis
Anything after Ozzmosis isn't really worth adding on here.
