#227 OZZY BARK AT THE MOON - Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast

November 18, 1983

Put your ’83 hat on and travel back to the days of yore when OZZY OSBOURNE was still a relatively new solo artist struggling to bounce back after enduring the tragic and untimely demise of guitarist Randy Rhoads following The Ozzman’s first 2 legendary albums, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman.

Enter Jake E. Lee, Rhoads’ successor, and the debut of his shred skills on Ozzy’s 3rd studio release, BARK AT THE MOON. While perhaps a departure from those first 2 records with Rhoads, BARK AT THE MOON has a more keyboard centric, pop-oriented sound that left some fans confused, yet it was just another example of OZZY rising from the ashes like a phoenix and reinventing himself once again.

Always remember to never write a song in the “afterglow” that you’ll ultimately grow “So Tired” of. “Slow Down” before being aurally assaulted by some overly emphatic keyboards because it’s time to get “laminated” and take “One Up The B-Side” after you “wash the evil off”.

Find out what happens when you get “plastic surgery to look older”, embrace your “Olde Faece”, summon up your playlist of farts, and brace for the onslaught of our upcoming OnlyFans cooking page when you JOIN US as we dive into the “Centre of Eternity” that is BARK AT THE MOON.
