Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fired from Black Sabbath and facing obscurity, Ozzy Osbourne mounted one of the greatest comebacks in rock history by recruiting classical guitar prodigy Randy Rhoads. 'Blizzard of Ozz' pairs Ozzy's dark, occult-themed lyricism with Rhoads's incredibly technical, fiercely melodic riffing, resulting in a remarkably energetic and undeniably anthemic heavy metal masterpiece.
