I just picked up Ozzy Osbourne’s latest album Scream.  I like it, particularly “Let It Die” and “Let Me Hear You Scream”.  What can I say?  It’s Ozzy.  Both are fantastic head-bangers.  “Let It Die” very different in style from anything Ozzy has done before.  Perhaps that’s what is so attractive about it.  “Let Me Hear You Scream” is one of those anthemic songs for which Ozzy is famous.  I can easily visualize “Let Me Hear You Scream” in a packed general admission venue …

The only criticism that I have is the packaging.  The prior album, Black Rain, came in a nice thin, paperboard package while Scream is in a standard plastic jewel case.  I really like the modern, environmentally responsible style of packaging.  I wish all albums came that way.  I’d have more space to store all of the disks.  Plus, I wouldn’t have to deal with all of the broken cases.
