Too much of Ozzy Osbournes work in the 1980s is forgotten. The general public tends to pick up Blizzard of Ozz and then they are done with Ozzy. However, other albums such as Diary of a Madman are just as good, if not better than Blizzard of Ozz. The second release from the madman features just as strong of rockers in Over The Mountain and S.A.T.O, both of which share a unique style from each other, S.A.T.O especially having a very NWOBHM touch. The album shows its progressive elements on the title track, which is a progressive metal epic in which Randy Rhoads completely shines. With only one weak track, Diary of a Madman succeeds in being a great album and a fantastic swan song for the guitar great Randy Rhoads.

Ozzy manages to make good songs; but, album-wise, he doesn't deliver that much punch. Nevertheless, it's the last of the Rhoads-Era albums. RIP R.R.

One of Ozzy's greatest releases. Songs like Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, S.A.T.O. or the epic title track are absolute classic heavy metal gems.

I'm pretty sure I didn't mean to put this album as classic. Ozzy's good but I made an error on my part. I haven't really gotten that much into this album.

Osbourne's follow-up to his famous Blizzard of Ozz, the second and last record to be recorded with his original and arguably strongest backing formation, before guitarist's Rhandy Roads young death broke it apart, is yet another solid, although slightly less memorable moment in The Prince of Darkness' career. Diary of a Madman has, like its predecessor, its fair share of memorable tunes, especially in Over the Mountain, Flying High Again and the dark, somewhat epic closing title track. Fans of classic 80's metal will be enjoyed, but not amazed.
