Ozzy Osbourne: Scream - Tour Edition – new album

OZZY OSBOURNE's album ‘Scream – Tour Edition’ - a  two-CD tour version of the album ‘Scream’, is being released in the U.S. today, October 5th, 2010, through Epic Records. The package contains the original album on the first CD, and a second CD containing seven bonus songs: ‘One More Time’ (originally a pre-order iTunes exclusive), ‘Jump The Moon’ (originally a bonus track on the Japanese release) and ‘Hand Of The Enemy’ (previously unreleased track from the ‘Scream’ sessions, and four additional live tracks recorded during the UK leg of the ‘Scream’ tour: ‘Bark At The Moon’, ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’, ‘No More Tears’ and a cover of BLACK SABBATH's ‘Fairies Wear Boots’.

AllMusic's critic James Christopher Monger describes Ozzy's latest effort as one that suffers from “a handful of songs are great and the rest are OK - curse” and continues to say that the songs that are great are great indeed : “ ‘Scream’ may not win any awards for brain cell power as far as titles go, but the 11 tracks contained within find the “Prince Of Darkness” in fine form. People who only know the metal legend from watching him mumble and baby step around his house in sunglasses and a track suit on reality television can hardly be blamed for steering away from his music, but it only takes one chorus of opener ‘Let It Die’ to suggest otherwise. Ozzy Osbourne may be more product than man these days, but for every uncomfortable TV commercial there’s a ‘Time’ or a ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’ to help remind people that the man behind the machine still has at least one hand on the wheel.”
