I heard a sample from the first single and it sounded better than anything off the last album, which was a piece of shit with only one good song on it. Gus G might bring some fresh life back to Ozzy so I am interested in checking it out.
I heard Down To Earth had many songs provided by the record company, one of which was written by Dave Grohl and another by guys from The Offspring. Zakk was unhappy about it and the album got a bad rap because of it, but I think its decent. Not sure what went wrong with Black Rain but it's shithouse.
