Black Rain is the ninth studio album by musician Ozzy Osbourne . It was released on May 22, 2007. It achieved gold status in the USA . It was the last album with Zakk Wylde and Mike Bordin .

Emergence

Black Rain , which was released a year and a half before Ozzy Osbourne's 60th birthday, was first recorded with Kevin Churko in Osbourne's new studio, which gave him the advantage of being able to take whatever time he wanted and even be able to record at night when he had an idea . At the beginning of the recording, while Osbourne was still busy with the Ozzfest , Zakk Wylde was already working out various riffs in the studio . Osbourne said, “Some of them worked and some didn't. With regard to the end result, I have no complaints. ”The idea for the album cover, which Ozzy Osbourne shows in the black rain, came to him while watching a DVD about the Hiroshima atom bomb the clouds, and when it starts to rain, the rain is black. "

reception

Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Ozzy Osbourne did not need to make new music to some extent, and to some extent he did not. His TV show The Osbournes has made him almost "cuddly". The album is not about "making money", but about "keeping the Osbourne machine running." The music on Black Rain is "age-appropriate", but also "still metal", the album "far from a disappointment." away". He awarded 3.5 out of five stars. Andreas Stappert remarked that Osbourne's voice was "partially underlaid with effects more than usual", but the songwriting quality was "pleasantly good". Among other things, he named the catchy I Don't Wanna Stop as highlights . He awarded eight out of ten points.
