People change, and so do their music tastes. Ozzy Osbourne has released numerous hit albums throughout the years, but if he had a chance, even he would go back and make some changes to his releases. Speaking to Goldmine in a recent interview, the Prince Of Darkness admitted there was an album in his catalog that he could’ve recorded better.
Looking through Ozzy Osbourne’s music catalog, almost no album was a failure. His Black Sabbath records were highly successful, and the efforts he released as a solo musician achieved commercial success — the first seven of his 13 solo studio albums received multi-platinum certifications. However, Ozzy believes he could’ve recorded one of his albums better.
“I don’t have a favorite song, per se,” said Ozzy Osbourne when looking back on the albums he has released so far. “There are albums I like more than others. I mean, ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ with Randy Rhoads was special, a very special album. ‘Bark at the Moon’ was okay, considering what I was going through emotionally.”
He then revealed he could’ve made ‘The Ultimate Sin a better album,’ admitting, “Then it was ‘The Ultimate Sin,’ which was ‘I can take it or leave it.’ Some good songs, but I felt I could have recorded it better. The next big album for me was ‘No More Tears.’ That’s still a great album. I still like hearing them songs.”
So, Ozzy believes that he would record the songs featured in ‘The Ultimate Sin’ in a better way if he had a chance to go back in time. Although the metal icon thinks that way, the album was his highest-charting effort at the time of its release, and it was awarded Platinum status soon after hitting the record stores.
