Kerrang!By shaking things up like he has here, he's made a record that sounds vital and refreshed. [19 Jun 2010, p.50]
-
Most impressively, Osbourne's new band displays a tempo-shifting aptitude similar to vintage Black Sabbath.
-
The Dark Lord of Rock and famed mumbler sounds strong - and intelligible! - on Scream.

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]
-
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.
-
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.

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]
