UncutGuitarist Gus G plots a decent course through the riffing, but for all the pukka heaviosity, the band never quite swing in the way Ozzy's best material historically has done. [Aug 2010, p.91]
-
Scream might be a near-miss, but it's still a huge improvement over the embarrassing Black Rain, and that alone is reason for optimism.
-
Q MagazineScream is the usual routine: Ozzy plays either mad or bad; guitars grind and skid to order; nobody gets hurt; job done; cheque, please. [Aug 2010, p.126]
-
Producer Kevin Churko has processed his riffs to the point that they sound like generic active rock. It's a shame, because Ozzy shows signs of life on the six-minute Diggin' Me Down and on Crucify where he compares himself to Jesus.
-
Like most of his recent efforts, there isn't much to get excited about on Ozzy Osbourne's 10th studio album.
-
In truth, all of Ozzy's solo albums are patchy, but Scream lacks the killer that drowns out the filler. When lead-off single Let Me Hear You Scream is the most dynamic song on offer, you know you're in for an uneventful ride.
