Ozzy Osbourne: Black Rain
** (Sony BMG)
NOWADAYS he’s more puppy dog than Prince of Darkness but that doesn’t mean Ozzy Osbourne has given up trying to scare. For his first album in six years (and the first one he’s recorded sober), the shuffling grandad has returned
to his hard-rock roots with a bunch of songs about war and other suitably dark topics. Unless you’re a teenage boy or a dedicated fan, this is probably one to give a miss.
