'Down To Earth' was Ozzy's first album for the 00's. This album continues where 'Ozzmosis' stopped. Very good modern hard rock with some really excellent guitar work from Zakk Wylde, a touch of earlier Ozzy stuffs and a tight musicianship. Ok, this album cannot be compared with Ozzy's earlier releases, that was then-this is now, but for sure is an album that shows a more mature side of Ozzy's band, a step forward. I think that albums like 'Ozzmosis' and 'Down To Earth' were albums that confused the die hards. Highlights here are the heavy with the modern sound of ' No Easy Way Out' which rocks hard, ' That I never Had ' for the simply amazing guitar work, 'Junkie' and the killer 'Facing Hell', again with a huge guitar riff and solo.
Overall this is a very good album from Ozzy and Zakk Wylde and even, if this is not their best to date or Ozzy's triumphant return, still it's a very enjoyable album with some very good moments.HeavyParadise's Rating: 7/10
