As I said in the title this is one of the best albums that ozzy made. Ozzy made this album being sober and i respect him for that. What is even better is that he made this album being sober and it is a great album. Read on to find what each song is rated. you may find my rating style is different but you'll get used to it.

Mr. Tinkertrain 78/100 I seriously don't know if it's just my Cd but at the very end of this song it ends really weird. I have to listen to another version to compare but because of the bad ending and scary, creepy lyrics i have to give this a C+. Ozzy sounds like a males......

I don't want to change the world 91/100 A very good song but the Live version is so so much better. But obviously this song is good too. The chorus is very addictive. A-

Mama I'm coming Home 93/100 This is a great song but the thing is it is a little too bit southern.... During this album Ozzy was immensly frustrated with Zakk Wylde's fascination for southern rock. But Ozzy let it go and made great songs like this.
A
Desire 89/100 I don't know why everybody is dissin' this song. i mean the lyrics and vocals from ozzy are great and the riff is amazing. good song B+

No more tears 98/100 SO CLOSE TO PERFECT!!!!!!! This is obviously one of the best songs on the album. It has a mind-blowing riff, a great bass line and great lyrics. One of the best chorus's on the album A+

S.I.N. 95/100 This again is a very unique and powerful song. And by unique i mean very goood. I love the "Whoa. Who turned out the lights?" It is absolutly brilliant!! A

Hellraiser 95/100 3 GOOD SONGS in a row!!! Hellraiser has (in my opinion) the best chorus Ozzy has ever song!!! Its hard not to just scream along. A

Time after time 90/100 THis is a good song but just a little too repetitive. I mean almost everything rhymes with time. lol But you must respect ozzy because this is one of his best songs vocally.A-

Zombie stomp 91/100 This is an okay song but it takes about 2 minutes to get to it's climax!! The chorus gets to repetitive too. But it's still a good song thanks to the great bass line. A-

A.V.H. 90/100 Good song but there is really nothing to mention about it. Not a very memorable track. A-

Road to nowhere 94/100 Another great "mama i'm coming home" sort of track. Again we can see Zakk Wylde's use of his southern rock talents. A great addictive chorus. A

BONUS TRACKS:

Don't blame me 88/100 It sort of sounds like "I don't want to change the world" but on a different scale. The lyrics aren't bad but there really isn't anything special to mention about it except for the killer chorus. B+

Party with the animals 50/100 easily slides into 13th place. I mean seriously i might, just might listen to it if i listen to it on the radio, but if i had to put this on my Ipod i would slap myself silly. This is a bad song because ozzy's voice sucks, the guitar just sounds bored, and because it sounds like ozzy and his band wrote it in 1 hour in a smelly bus without food. F

In the end this is one killer album!!!! REALLY IF YOU LIKE OZZY YOU WILL LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!! GO OUT AND BYE THIS ALBUM QUICK!!!!

If one had to compare albums by Ozzy from one to the other, I would have to say that No More Tears is the technically-supperior bastard son of The Ultimate Sin. The only thing that saves No More Tears from reaching that level of hypocrisy is that it has Zakk Wylde on it. And something about Zakk and his love of playing guitar keeps the monsters under the bed and the boogeymen in the closet. No More Tears was mostly co-written with non-Ozzy personnel. Lemmy from Motorhead helped the Ozzman out on a few tunes (in fact there were two versions of the song Hellraiser, the Ozzy version and the Lemmy version. Wow! Yawn!) Overall, this is a solid Ozzy outing, don't get me wrong, it's just tainted around the edges by too many fingers is all. Ozzy is best when it's just him and the band writing their own sh*t. Face it. Otherwise can it truly be considered Ozzy? Not really. Anyway. There are a few standouts here. Mama, I'm Coming Home. Zombie Stomp. Mr. Tinkertrain is very creepy in the way that Ozzy soundz like a child-molester. And of course, the title track, No More Tears. Very polished album. Very structured. Just not Ozzy's best work, or most honest.

Dig It!

Wow, what a great album! Ozzy is amazing! You can't even pick out a favorite, all of these songs are great. It's got awesome heavy songs and three incredible ballads. Randy Rhoads is definitely missed, but no one could listen to this and deny that Zakk Wylde was a great replacement. If you haven't bought this album, you simply must. And, if you ever have a chance to see him in concert, do it, it is amazing. I've only seen him with Sabbath and he didn't do any of this stuff, but it was still great. If there's one thing you can say about this album, it's that it rules. Amazing lyrics, amazing guitar, just amazing! Buy now! Oh, and if anyone out there knows what A.V.H. stands for, please E-mail me and let me know.

This album is so good! I love it! Ozzy's heaviest album in my opinion. This is a CD that really gets you in a good mood. With Zakk Wylde on guitar you can't go wrong. If you are just getting into Ozzy's music then BUY THIS CD! You won't regret it!

Like the title says this is another classic album from Ozzy Osbourne. It is a perfect follow up to the amazing No Rest for the Wicked. (Look for a review of that coming soon.) As far as the band goes they never sounded tighter. On this album Ozzy has Zakk Wylde playing guitar, Bob Daisley on bass, Randy Castillo on drums, and John Sinclair on keyboards. They sound amazong together and are the perfect soundtrack for Ozzy's stories about his life as a musician. In my opinion this is the finest example of Zakk Wylde's guitar playing, he is truly amazing, Randy Castillo's drums also compliment the talents of bassist Bob Daisley who played with Ozzy early in his solo career. No More Tears is one of Ozzy's greatest albums.

The first song on the album is Mr. Tinkertrain. It starts off with some children's music like the beginning on Bloodbath in Paradise off No Rest for the Wicked. You can also hear some children playing in the background. After about a minute of this it then kicks into a full blown heavy metal song with a very catchy chorus. The song is also filled with Zakk Wylde's trademark vibrato. The hit I Don't Want to Change the World is up next. It was co written by Motorhead singer/bassist Lemmy Kilmister. Zakk Wylde is amazing on this song like he is on every song he ever played on. The ballad Mama, I'm Coming Home is next. This is one of my favorite songs on this album. It is a very catchy song, and the acoustic guitar sounds great. Bob Daisley also does a fine job playing bass on this track. Desire is another heavy track with amazing guitar as well as a catchy chorus. Next up is the epic title track No More Tears. This song is one of the best on the album. It was co written by Alice in Chain's bassist Mike Inez. The song is truly a masterpiece. It's both heavy and soft. It features The band also shows amazing musicianship on this track. The keyboard part in the middle of the song is especially great as well as Randy Castillo's drumming. The best part of the song however is the guitar solo. It is one big build to the solo, think Stairway to Heaven. S.I.N. has a great chorus and a great guitar solo. Hellraiser is another song co written by Lemmy. This bass heavy song is another amazing track. There's really not much to say about this album, it's pretty consistant. The songs are pretty much all heavy with catchy choruses and amazing guitar playing. Time After Time is a change of pace. It is a power ballad. Zakk Wylde plays one of his most impressive solo's on this track. Zombie Stomp is another bass heavy song. A.V.H. has a very impressive slide guitar intro before kicking into a fast paced metal song. The last song Road to Nowhere is a perfect account of a musicians life. It's a heavy song but it's not a fast song. This is another great song, and a perfect closer for an amazing album.

So there you have it my review of No More Tears. I hope it was helpful and not too boring. It's hard to write a review of a consistant sounding album. For further listening I strongly suggest Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman, The Ultimate Sin, No Rest for the Wicked, Tribute, and Speak of the Devil by Ozzy, Stronger than Death by Black Label Society (Zakk's band), and New Tattoo by Motley Crue (another good example of Randy's talents behind the drum kit.)
