Editorial Review:
Japanese pressing of this 2007 album from Ozzy Osbourne includes two bonus tracks, 'I Can't Save You' & 'Nightmare'. Sony.
Description of Black Rain:
Ozzy returns with a startlingly heavy ninth studio album, a record filled with vows to continue his rock 'n' roll ways ("Not Going Away," "I Don't Wanna Stop"), meditations on the state of a world that has changed surprisingly little since Black Sabbath's early days ("Black Rain," "God Bless the Almighty Dollar") and the obligatory ballad ("Here for You," which can be read either as a letter to a lover or a love letter to his fans). With longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde providing plenty of brutal, soul-searing riffs and solos, there's no shortage of reasons to throw the horns, raise your fist, and yell. The rhythm section of Mike Bordin (drums) and Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (drums) is simply the best since Randy Castillo and Phil Soussan joined up for 1986's The Ultimate Sin and fires most accurately on the title cut, "Lay Your World On Me" and "Countdown's Begun." There's no "Crazy Train" or "Mama I'm Coming Home" here but Black Rain is a more convincing statement for it. The promises Ozzy makes here are sincere, he's not going away anytime soon––and he's still got plenty of game. ––Jedd Beaudoin
Black Rain Reviews:
Can't Sit Down During This Bashing Beat 
2009-11-22 -
Just had to find the CD with "I don't wanna stop" on it. This has that music
which accompanied a video entitled Jet Pilot University. Best beat I've ever
heard, regardless of the group. Get this one and feel like you're up there with the "Rocket Jockey".
really really bad as in not good !!! 
2009-10-08 - I could not even listen to this on a site which you can listen to this for free !! Yes its that bad !! Im a long long time ozzy fan. Now I rated the music now Ozzy!! It is very sad for an artist to only care about the money coming in and not the music anymore!! Dis respectful to Randy what his wife did to Diary of a mad man!!The osbourne family is very sad people because of his wife and everybody will never hear a new sabbath cd because of her!!Nothing more to say!!
Awesome OZZY!!!!!!
2009-10-07 - I love Ozzy anyway but this CD kicked ass, the sound and the music are pure Oz.
Ozzie Still Rocks 
2009-09-27 - I got this for myself but my 18 year old son has kidnapped the CD for his commute to college. We both think "I Dont Wanna Stop" and "Not Going Away" are among the best he has ever done. The album is worth it for those 2 songs alone. The others, not bad, kinda different sounds for Oz, they grow on ya after a while.
2007 OZZY
2009-09-14 - I Don't Want to Stop, was the best track on the Black Rain record, along with a few other good songs. The album as a whole was better than his last record, Down to Earth, so it's worth checking out.
