About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Essentially an amped-up karaoke night in the Osbournes' basement lair, Under Cover is impeccably engineered and effortlessly played -- ex-Alice in Chains axe slinger Jerry Cantrell provides impressive guitar work throughout, making a strong case as to whether this is his baby or Ozzy's. All of the tracks here, with the exception of "Rocky Mountain Way," "Sunshine of Your Love," "Woman," and "Go Now," appeared on 2005's Prince of Darkness box set. Guest appearances abound, with Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter choking out his original refrain on "All the Young Dudes" in a style that can only be described as "endearingly awkward homeless man," Mountain's Leslie West turning the amps up to 11 on "Mississippi Queen," and blues-rock wunderkind Robert Randolph laying down some serious pedal steel on "Sympathy for the Devil." The Ozz himself is in good form, but as is the case with much of his later work, he sounds more like the tool than the fist. It's good to give a nod to your inspirations, but when it's a performer like Osbourne, who has made the uncomfortable shift from artist to product, the sentiment -- however genuine -- gets lost in the marketing.

March 12, 2006: The chains of mediocrity are wrapping around the Ozz-man's legs and threatening to take over. As most do, I don't believe this is Ozzy giving homage to influencial music in his lifetime. I believe this is the beginning of a long dry spell. The very idea of this album surely did not come from the prince of darkness...but from the "stench of a carcus". Being a devout fan for more than 20 years I've stood by the Madmnan through the good and bad and I must say the worst of the past is better than the present. Personally speaking I can sense something dying and I believe the marketing team does also. This album is an attempt to get the older fans back by using the popularity of Ozzy and the memorable music of the classic rock genre. A very shallow attempt to sell records by the corporate machine. My insult comes from the fact that the "Machine" actually believes that my buying habits, along with my taste in music, is that shallow.
