For someone who helped to invent modern metal, he’s held a stunning number of surprises up his cloak sleeve (see: a wildly successful solo career and genre-defining reality TV show). This rollicking album is yet another.
Ordinary Man isn't necessarily the best Ozzy album ever made, but if this does mark the end of his recording career, he's ended with a bang instead of a thud. The record is easily the most captivating music he's made on a solo record since the early '90s, and despite small flaws with select songs, he's created another record worthy of people's attention.
'Ordinary Man' is far from perfect, but all Ozzy Osbourne's solo releases tend to reflect their creator's flaws to one degree or another. It does, however, absolutely succeed on its own terms, serving its purpose by reminding the world just what we'll miss when this titan among titans finally departs us for good.
Ordinary Man was made in a few days with a core band of Duff McKagan, Chad Smith and Andrew Watt, who also produces. It sounds like it, in good and bad ways: there’s real urgency to Straight to Hell, but there are perhaps too few genuinely memorable songs.

On the album you will____ His metal vocals can not be confused with anyone, he still tears the musical lines of compositions with dark names. On the album you will find both war and lyrics, as well as echoes of the legendary Black Sabbath. There are enough hits here, and some kind of song will surely sink into your soul. Although the entire album is saturated with the theme of “eternity”, one can feel the irresistible thirst for life of this 71 year old man and his willingness to try something new again and again.…Expand

Sí, lo siento, probablemente he vivido bajo una roca, pero estoy seguro que lo que desconosco de Ozzy Osbourne lo conosco de música emergente. En fin. Al escuchar (por primera vez) a Ozzy Osbourne lo primero que pensé fue en algún tipo de Metal-Pop. "Ordinary Man", producido especialmente por watt, tiene rasgos de lo que puedo imaginar que es la esencia de Osbourne, ese Heavy-Metal fácil de escuchar que emociona por la energía y los solos de la guitarra eléctrica; y también rasgos que lo demuestran tratando de apelar a la sensibilidad de la juventud actual con un Pop muy Rock. Eso puede ser tan bueno como malo, pero realmente la mayoría de los tracks son aciertos en los que la energía de un hombre de 71 años que ama el Metal revitaliza cierta nostalgia y seduce a las nuevas generaciones.

Yes, I'm sorry, I have most probably been living under a rock, but I'm sure that what I don't know about Ozzy Osbourne I know it about emerging music. Anyway. Hearing (for the first time) to Ozzy Osbourne, the first thing that I thought was in some kind of Metal-Pop. "Ordinary Man", produced specially by watt, has traces of, what I can imagine, is the essence of Osbourne, that very easy listening Heavy Metal that excites because of the energy and the solos of the electric guitars; and also traces of what it seems to be him trying to appeal to the actual youth sensibilities with a very Rock Pop. That can be as good as bad, but in fact, most of the tracks are achievements in which the energy of a 71 years old man that loves Metal revitalizes some nostalgia and seduces the new generations.…Expand

Very ripetitive and annoying lyrics without any kind of message. Annoying vocals from Ozzy, they are just the same on every song. Rythm GuitarVery ripetitive and annoying lyrics without any kind of message. Annoying vocals from Ozzy, they are just the same on every song. Rythm Guitar sound is just noise and buzz. There even no metal attitude, just simple and raw hard rock with a bad and pop production. Bad sound design, bad lyrics, bad musicians, no soul, no tecnics, no emotions, pathetic humor, bad mixing and bad master. Probably the worst ozzy album.…Expand
