This is pretty good. Like Hurt by Johnny Cash and The Show Must Go On by Queen, it almost seems like Ozzy is presiding over his own funeral.
It’s not the first time he’s done this. Mama I’m Coming Home and Road to Nowhere are incredible songs of reckoning with ones fragility and mortality. But this one feels like the end. I wasn’t going to go see him this time around..his voice is shot and it was going to be on a Monday night at the Hollywood Bowl(for those that don’t know, it’s easily the worst large venue in Los Angeles for a rock concert...the Forum is the best). But after hearing this album, I’ll suck it up.
