I actually have some hopes for Ozzy to at least attempt to bring back the classic Ozzy sound. I mean...obviously its not going to be perfect considering the amount of time he's been in the music business, but I have a lot of respect for Ozzy and his band to continue to look into the future of music and continue to create great stuff. Sure, Scream and Black Rain were far different albums than what typical Ozzy fans are used to, but honestly, it's quite the achievement for someone of his stature to continue his walk into music.
I won't say I think their new stuff will sound just like typical old Ozzy, but I won't damper on him if it doesn't either. I will listen to it like I would any other album.
