This cd marks Ozzy's 10th Solo album! I already reviewed the original release, so mostly I'm just commenting on the bonus disk. Hand of the Enemy is great and was a nice surprise. One More Time (originally an I-tunes bonus) is still my favorite song on the entire album. Jump the Moon (originally the Japanese bonus) is pretty good as well. Following suit with The Black Rain Tour Edition, we get a live song from the album. Let Me Hear You Scream (live) is awesome. He might be getting older but Ozzy's voice is still as strong as ever. The other live songs are great as well and will be a nice addition to my collection. My only complaint with them is the cursing. Ozzy's live performances are awesome, he is so talented and really gets into his performances, but it would be nice if he didn't curse during songs (and watch some of the religious references in a few of the songs). I know that most people could care less, but thats my opinion....

If you haven't bought Scream yet, I would recommend spending the extra $2 and purchasing this version as the extra songs are well worth it. If you have already spent the money and bought the album, it still might be worth your while to sell it and eat the cost of this version as well. I don't believe Ozzy is responsible for the different releases of the albums (and the whole I-tunes exclusive thing, which i feel is really unfair to the fans), that is just the record companies' greed. I learned my Lesson with the hard way with the release of Black Rain, going forward if Ozzy has another album I will wait several months before purchasing it to avoid that trap like I did this time around. I'm looking forward to the reissues of Blizzard and Madman. I saw the pre-orders here on Amazon but at this point they are only offering imports (expensive) I hope there are US releases of them coming too.

Ozzy released this tenth solo album Scream in June of 2010, now he comes out with a "Tour Edition" of the same album. A second disc has been added to the original album containing an unreleased song (Hand of the Enemy), an Itunes exclusive (One More Time), a Japanese exclusive (Jump the Moon) and 4 live songs making 7 songs overall. It's not the first time that he's done this; some of you may remember when Oz released a tour edition of Black Rain back in 2007 in November of that same year. Now I'm not going to review the album Scream, I already did when the album initially came out, if you want to read reviews of the album go on the normal edition of Scream's page and you will find excellent reviews. I'm rather going to look at the contents of this special edition.

I really like Scream, I think it has some of the best Ozzy songs in a while and it's a strong album. "Hand of the Enemy" is a really cool song, heavy riff and good lyrics; I don't know why it didn't make it on Scream. "One More Time" is a good song, I love Gus `solo here. "Jump The Moon" I'm not fan of, I don't know it just doesn't reach me, it's certainly not terrible but that's how I feel. The version of "Let Me Hear You Scream" found here sounds almost exactly like the one on the Itunes Festival EP (which I also bought) released exclusively on Itunes in the summer of 2010. The first live song "Bark At The Moon" is an excellent live performance of the song, this being one of my favorite Ozzy songs it's nice to see it here and played so great! Excellent guitar work by Gus and Ozzy sounds awesome. The version of "No More Tears" found here is a very good one, I prefer the version from the Live & Loud (1993) and perhaps even the Live At Budokan (2002) version but it's pretty good, plus Gus's guitar playing on it makes this version different. It's nice to see "Fairies Wear Boots" as a live Black Sabbath song instead of the usual "War Pigs" or "Paranoid" found on most live Ozzy albums. I would have liked Oz to play another obscure Sabbath song (if there is such a thing to Sabbath fans of the Ozzy era) but just the fact that it's not the usual ones makes it that much better, plus it's played really well I must say. While I'm talking about the live song choices, I know Ozzy started doing "Shot In The Dark" and "Killer of Giants" again during his shows, now those two are my absolute favorite Ozzy tracks and it would've been so great to get live performances of those on this Tour Edition. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it would have been cool to get those songs here. Oh and the black flag that was on the original version of Scream has here been replaces by an American flag.

If you have not bought Scream yet I'd say you're better off buying this edition, (for 1$ more than the regular edition on amazon) but unless you're a fan like me who wants everything you're better off to keep your original copy of Scream and not bother with this Tour Edition. I think there should have been more new content included as it would have been more valuable to those who already bought Scream, I like the new content but re-purchasing it for this isn't all that worth it. I'm still looking forward to the reissues of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman though. 2 stars.

For the price, you can't beat this collection. This has Ozzie's classic and Ozzie sounds great on the new tracks,

I like J. Hill's perspective on Ozzy's lyrics in his "Scream" review thread (amazon.com): "This man has penned some of the cheesiest, simplest metal lyrics of all time . . . Ozzy has never been heralded as a Pulitzer-worthy lyricist." But it's not accurate. Ozzy has generally not written the lyrics he sings. Bob Daisley has commented to the effect that Ozzy can't write a complete sentence, much less a whole song's lyrics.

As a matter of fact, Geezer Butler was the main lyric writer for Black Sabbath. When Ozzy started his solo career as part of the "Blizzard of Ozz" band, Bob Daisley wrote most of the lyrics. And so on.

Also, I'd say that Geezer wrote some great, memorable lyrics, from 'Paranoid' to 'Johnny Blade.' Sure, there's 'Rock 'N' Roll Doctor' (the lyrics fitting the riff perfectly), but there's also 'Dirty Women,' which is as great a track as Sabbath ever did . . . on their so-called weakest album, "Technical Ecstasy."

So I'd like to add my two cents: Nothing Ozzy or Black Sabbath has ever done separately comes close to what they did together. As much as I enjoy "Diary of a Madman," it can't touch even "Technical Ecstasy," which has at least three tracks that top anything Ozzy thinks he's done by himself: 'Back Street Kids,' 'All Moving Parts (Stand Still),' and the aforementioned 'Dirty Women.'

It's his self-promotion that I find most reprehensible in a career that keeps licking at the boots of stupidity if not shamefulness. Ozzy is a king of rock and roll, no doubt about it--he's got the charisma, the vocal melody lines, the work ethic, and the sales. Ronnie James Dio had good reason for titling that song about Ozzy. But Ozzy has never done anything by himself except use other people. He's had Tony, Geezer, Randy, Bob, Jake, Zakk, Churko, and others give him more than a helping hand.

Yet the booklet to "Scream" shows only Ozzy. You're hard-pressed to see even mention of anyone else, and then it's in the microscopic credits. If you read them, you'll find out that Kevin Churko co-wrote every track, along with Adam Wakeman (son of Rick) on a few tracks. Churko co-produced the album with Ozzy. Ozzy did not play guitar, bass, drums, or keyboards. At least on "Black Rain" you don't need to squint to see the names of the musicians, even if the only person pictured is the bat gourmand himself.

At this point in his career, does he really need to de-fame his partners? Didn't he learn from fan reaction to his cavalier treatment of Daisley and Lee Kerslake when he had their bass and drum parts replaced on the first two Blizzard of Ozz albums?

To me, "Scream" lacks the innovations of those albums, which means that it's consistently competent and enjoyable metal, but nothing else. The Tour Edition adds seven tracks, but not to history.

The extra videos are NOT quicktime or other crappy formats like such. But in MPEG which is the same format as a DVD. So needless to say watching these is as good a quality as a regular dvd. Without the jerky motion like alot of cd extra videos are. The making of videos have been available online but these are longer and featuring more band & Ozzy interview footage. Making of the Scream video is about 3 minutes longer!

The live tracks, has a good mix and quality. You can hear Ozzy's vocals and the instruments clearly and equaly. And without too much audience noise but I think just the right amount of it. Ozzy sings No More Tears better than he has in years. He doesnt try too hard to hit the high notes. But uses his voice to suit so he doesn't have that annoying squeck that drives me crazy. Even at that he gets his voice up there enough to more than satisfy. (Which alot of people have commented his voice is better than it has been in years) Bark At The Moon Gus G's guitar shredding is dead on and better than Zakk ever played it!

Studio Tracks, would have fit pretty well on the album. With Hand Of The Enemy being my favorite. This song seems to have the least amount of production out of all on both dics. With a great raw & dry classic sound. Giving this one an A+ grade. The other two are good and enjoyable but not as great. These get a A- grade. Guitar solo for Hand Of The Enemy is too good for the song.

I know the complaint is why a rerelease so soon after. But I ask. What if H&H rereleased TDYK with a second disc. Would you have bought it?
