Synopsis

Amazon.com
If you loved the hit TV show The Osbournes, you'll absolutely eat up this unorthodox soundtrack album, which sucks you right back into this 2002 version of The Beverly Hillbillies, with snippets of the best bons mots from the show?-and minus all those annoying bleeps! It?s instantly clear that the Osbournes' taste in music is much better than their taste in furniture. But why be surprised, as Sharon Osbourne, wife and manager of the timeless metallurgist, has been the intelligence behind all the Ozzfests, one of the few moneymaking tour packages in recent memory. She has certainly done her homework once again, offering sensational tracks by snarling Chicago-based trio Chevelle and the equally heavy Dillusion Mirror Image (clear inheritors of Ozzy's thorny crown). There is also a rousing cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind" by Armenian rockers System of a Down. This album isn't all about head banging; also included is a live track from third wave Britpoppers Starsailor, who'd be ostracized if they even came within spitting distance of the second stage at Ozzfest. And there?s also Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," a song Ozzy used to play while Sharon would get ready for a night out, and the Kinks? "You Really Got Me," a tune that turned the young Ozzmeister on to rock & roll. Ozzy also turns down the din on his own contributions with the John Lennon-esque "Dreamer" and the lush and revelatory power ballad "Mamma I'm Coming Home." He thankfully gets things moving with his signature thrash anthem "Crazy Train," which is also reprised by his former next-door neighbor, God Squad balladeer Pat Boone. The surprising standout is daughter Kelly's full-throated version of Madonna's recalcitrant 1986 hit "Papa Don't Preach." Thankfully the impish, fuchsia-tressed teen inherited her father's genes, belting out the rebellious hit with a subversive defiance and roguish edge. Produced by brother Jack and with Ozzfest alums Incubus playing on the track, this cut rocks much harder than the original. --Jaan Uhelszki

"This album is so f*@%ing awesome as Ozzy might say!! I think thst this is one of the best albums I've picked up in long time!! It has great music and I love the uncensored dialog from the show between the songs, it's so funny!!! My Favorite songs are:
Pat Boone Crazy Train-I think his version of this song is outstanding!
Ozzy Osbourne Dreamer-I like this ballad he does I think he has a great voice on this song and I would have to agree that it sounds sort of like a John Lennon song, who the song is a tribute to!!
Kelly Osbourne Papa Don't Preach-I think this version of this song is much better than the original and she has a great voice too!!
The Kinks You Really Got Me-It's a classic what more can you say!!
John Lennon Imagine-I love this song by him, I think it's his best!!The Cars Drive-Great song, love the melody!!Eric clapton Wounderful Tonight-One his best songs!!Ozzy Osbourne Mama, I'm Coming Home-Another great ballad by the Ozzman, love the melody alot in this one!!Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train-Of course who could forget the original version of this song by the master himself, his best song I think!!
Chevelle Family System-I think they added this because this song represents their family, but that's just my guess!!I would highly recommend this for Osbourne fans everywhere you will enjoy it very much!!!"

"So being a fan of the Osbournes, Ozzy Osbourne and the very lovely Kelly Osbourne, I decided to pick up this CD. Over all, I was very impressed. The audio tracks are hillarious. (It's worth just to hear the uncensored clip of Ozzy explaining to Sharon his displeasure for her choice of bubbles as a stage prop)Kelly's infecious groove is very apparent in her great cover of 'Papa Don't Preach' and the CD rocks out with classic Ozzy cuts like 'Crazy Train' and 'Mama I'm Coming Home' and even shows Ozzy's tender side with 'Dreamer'This isn't a CD for hardcore Ozzy or Black Sabbath fans, but if you're a casual fan, such as myself and enjoy The Osbournes TV show, that I suggest you pick this up ASAP."
