Down To Earth is literally Ozzy’s return to the world of metal.
Scattered throughout the album are small glimpses of a new Ozzy, one that is almost as influenced by the bands on his Ozzfest as they are by him.
Ozzy has found a little bit of edge again, at least as much edge as a man in his fifties can have.

 Ozzy Osbourne's New Album
With seven prior albums on which to draw, it seems as though it may be possible to study his past career to arrive at a prediction of what the new album will be like.
Early albums were limited by the vinyl they were originally recorded on, but even today Ozzy seems to run out of steam before hitting a dozen tracks.
Down to Earth is Ozzy being Ozzy, and for those who resist the Earth's motion around the sun, it's just right.

Most of the songs in the set were co-penned by Ozzy and various hired songwriters, and while his fans may raise an eyebrow at such manufacture, the tracks boast studious integrity to what we expect from an Ozzy Osboure album, full of churning guitar, elevating synths and playful demonic references.
Ozzy's voice is in perfect condition, not at all sounding like the fifty-plus crooner he is. With guitar god Zakk Wylde in tow, Down to Earth is full of great riffs, grooves and of course, blistering solos.
While the album at times sounds a bit rehashed, there is enough new stuff here to intrigue new listeners, and hardcore Ozzmaniacs will have no problem counting Down to Earth among the best of his later work.

 Ozzy Osbourne - Down To Earth Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Ozzy Osbourne is the most sentimental man in metal - and tough enough to let it Show in "Gets Me Through" and "Dreamer," the two best songs on Down to Earth.
The first is a thumping thanksgiving, Osbourne's admission that he is nothing like you think and would be even less without his fans.
But the fl-chrome edge in Osbourne's voice adds a layer of thrill to the chunky surge of "That I Never Had" and underscores the candor in the steroid march "Facing Hell": "I pray that you never know/That I'm facing hell." In the Sabs and on his own, Osbourne has never done the devil's work.

Ozzy Osbourne (music) is looking at another a full year of touring, new albums, and maybe even some awards in 2002.
In the meantime, Osbourne's latest solo album, "Down to Earth," has sold well past gold, Black Sabbath has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance for "The Wizard" from the album "Ozzfest 2001: The Second Millennium," and the metal community is still buzzing from the Black Sabbath reunion shows of the last Ozzfest.
I go back to [Ozzy and Sharon's hotel room, with said woman], the door opens, Sharon punches me in the eye--no, punches her in the eye, takes a picture from off the wall, smashes it over my head, we go flying through the door.

 MSJ - Ozzy Osbourne-Down To Earth
Quite a few critics have said that the strength of this album is the fact that it doesn't waver from Ozzy's tried and true style, and that fact establishes a musical reliability in a sea of changing music.
Yes, this is a great album, but not because of how Ozzy's music has stayed the same, but because of how it hasn't.
This cut is a bit more generic as Ozzy material goes, feeling like it could have come from any of his last few studio albums.

This album is not as good as the 80's albums he produced but its not catostrophically bad either.
He didn't write a thing on it (except, presumably, the solos) because, allegedly, Ozzy thought the songs Zakk wrote were 'too Black Label', which was his loss really as the resulting BLS album (19*19 Eternal) was a lot better than Down To Earth.
All the Sabbath albums recorded between 1970 and 1977 were classics and therefore his solo output has to be judged against this.

 ROCKZONE.COM: CD Reviews: Ozzy Osbourne - "Down To Earth"
This open-ended message to all Osbourne’s loyal fans is full of honesty and heartfelt gratitude, but does this belong on a metal album?
Osbourne does his best to bring the real emotions outside of anger and torment to metal, and falls well short of reaching the point his past projects have.
Osbourne still has a voice that is undeniably familiar to his listeners, but even that legendary call has become weak in these days.

Impatient Ozzy fans had to wait for six years before the release of this album, however DOWN TO EARTH finally arrived.
The album is anchored by the fantastic rhythm section of Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, the playing on EARTH is exceptionally tight.
Tim Palmer's production steers Osbourne in a melodic direction, as the album's use of strings, synth, and background vocals complements some of Ozzy's best vocal performances in years.

Ozzy is back with his first solo album since 1994.
After years of touring on Ozzfest and introducing classic "Ozzy" and Black Sabbath to nu-metal listeners, Down To Earth is one of the heaviest and intuitive album Ozzy may have done in his career.
Down To Earth reminds you of his classics like Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of Madman as well as some of his later works like No Rest For The Wicked or even No More Tears.

 Ozzy Osbourne : Down To Earth - Review at Harvest Moon Music
Ozzy Osbourne, the undisputed Godfather of Heavy Metal, comes at us with his first solo studio album in six years.
Joining Ozzy on his eighth album are guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendancies) and drummer Mike Bordin (Faith No More) - a lineup that can arguably be considered a super-group.
Ozzy has had an illustrious career in the world of heavy metal, but it's still great to see him unleash an album of this caliber (I have to admit that I was worried after

 NME.COM - Reviews - Ozzy Osbourne : Down To Earth
Legends should rarely be let off the leash, and few need tying down so much as Ozzy Osbourne.
Ozzy himself, however, has always been prone to sentiment and finger-wagging - all of which fill his several dozen solo albums.
Ozzy's always protested that the Sabs' dark anthems were cautions against Satan, and so 'Down To Earth' is a album of dire warning, against madness, addiction, hatred and letting the Godfather of Metal into a studio unsupervised.

Some excellent riffs are wasted on this album and this a fine example of that - the lyrics are cliched to hell.
First of all it has to be said that Ozzy is possibly singing better on this album than he has ever done.
Ozzy's descent into humourless self-parody, which began with 'Ozzmosis', appears to continue unabated.

 CanEHdian.com: Ozzy Osbourne
For Down to Earth, Ozzy utilized Zakk Wylde, a guitarist who can create and mystify like Randy Rhodes but can pound the guitar like Tony Iommi.
Combined with Ozzy's lyrical mastery, it is no wonder that this "unlucky 13th album" was so anticipated.
The album is bursting with Ozzy's signature brand of hard-hitting rock melded with in your face melodies and gut-busting guitars.

Ozzy's new "Down to Earth" album is a triumphant return to the Ozzy of old.
As a whole, this is a lot better than Ozzmosis but still pales in comparison to Ozzy's best work (Diary, Blizzard, Sabotage) and sadly, that's what his work should be compared to and not his worst.

The music Ozzy left completely up to his fellow band members this time - Zakk Wylde, Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin have all put their traces on this album.
Luckily the album still maintains a high quality thanks to the vocals from the man himself.
Since it is Ozzy and since the album is released on SOny it will still be among the best selling metal albums of the year.

Ozzy Osbourne's eighth solo studio album, Down to Earth, shows the madman of rock relying on a supergroup of metal musicians to bring his sound together.
Despite the ever-changing world of heavy metal, Ozzy has a strangely timeless sound that he does not stray from on this record.
Anyone who liked Ozzy's output from the '90s will probably embrace this album with open arms, and anyone who does not like him will probably know to avoid this.

 "Down To Earth" by Ozzy Osbourne - zBoneman Music Reviews
Ozzy is a god so do I even need to rate this.
Ozzy has never made a bad album in his life, from his days fronting Black Sabbath, who single handedly created Metal, to his highly successful solo career, Ozzy has set the standard for every rock star since.
Always the servant of the people, Ozzy's success has been through the love and adoration of his loyal fan base and not by merchandising and label promotion.

 Ozzy Osbourne - Down To Earth
Ozzy has always wrote about things that were close to him, but I think this might be one of the most personal albums.
The album ends with a couple more personal sounding songs "Alive" and "Can You Hear Them." The former starts out with a heavy groove, then slows for the bridge, then picks up again on the chorus.
Overall the album is not bad but just doesn't match up to what people or expect from Ozzy and Zakk.
