1986 and lived was one of the best years of the history of Heavy Metal, you just need to remember that some masterpieces year as they were records of the stature of "Somewhere In Time", "Master of Puppets", "Reign In Blood" or "Peace Sell ... But Who's Buying?" to name a few. In the path front we found the Glam Rock and Hair Metal was lord and master at the hands of dozens of bands in which the bizarre was the key to the time of dressing. In that year the "Gordo" Ozzy decides to return after 3 years without a new record, and is why we talk about now ... When we talk about Ozzy, it is impossible to get us out of his head his years as lead singer of "Black Sabbath" backbone of everything that sounds with sharp guitars. Then comes the memory of an Ozzy solo masterpieces would give us with his buddy Randy Rhoads then on albums like "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman", where their sound is more affordable compared the old Sabbath and his own peers at the time. Speaking of "Madman" we are reminded of disks as already mentioned before and the great "Bark At The Moon" and years later the multiplatinum "No More Tears", but is rarely cited the "The Ultimate Sin" , an incredible record, of course!, but at that time regarded with suspicion by the respectable, that is why we have a record label "unreasonable" and "Understated" ... Will you? ... see!. 
After discovering Jake E Lee, and silenced all those who did not spare the stupid loss of Randy, Ozzy arrives and launches the "nose" his album "Bark At The Moon" in '84, becoming the unconditional love of all fans, the following year between tours, visits to courts and lawsuits, is preparing to give a new installment to the thirsty Heavy ... In February in 1986 he decided to take his new album with Jake E Lee, but by replacing Tommy Aldridge Randy Castillo and Bob Daisley by Phillip Soussan, in addition to the assistance of keyboardist Mike Moran, expectations could not be smaller for the new delivery of "Gordo" what becomes inescapable pressure. Add in to this that the Heavy Metal was spending his best time in its history, the surprise would be that the "Madman" by releasing this album take a position that was considered by many fans as an approach to Hair Metal. "The Ultimate Sin", which initially should have been called "Killer Of Giants", but with great songs and compositions happen to be branded as mediocre, of more or less ... the phrase most heard at that time was that "It's good record but nowhere near the others. " As might moderate the sphere, because for the most radical faction, the record was "Callampa" period. The subjects, seen by many, but that did not bring to the fore all the cliché Glam, coupled with the visual of glitzy costumes and objects, colored tights and flashy styling, made of metal fans are so twisted pomposity. The album was not a failure in commercial terms as people expected, but it was listed as a slip from the "Gordo", a low point in his career, besides being the annals of Rock and phase "Poser" by Ozzy. 
After everything described above, we ask: What does "The Ultimate Sin" between the discs appear unjustified?, Is precisely the fact that considering its musicality, is a record that leaves or rather that leaves no negative cost in the career of Ozzy ... Many people must be thinking "That's what this weon!" ... no big deal ... tell me if Ozzy stopped earning money for this album?, "tell me if Ozzy did not add more fans around the world as a result of this album? , "tell me if those fans did not forgive radicals over time?," tell me if Ozzy was removed because of this record? ... The only thing weon did in those years is wevear and wevear!, Ozzy can do cumbias and will be respected to the same ... remember that God weon!. 
In writing there is nothing like they say!, Plus the fact that up not to like this record and not consider it the level of the predecessors and successors, and the derogatory way it was and is looked upon this record can not but admit that there is an excellent work behind all that we imagen.AhÃ!, the title track is excellent since its introduction, with that drum beat and riff Castle marcante Lee's many friends raise it as the best of the album, has a single great and Ozzy with his natural voice and melodic, Heavy first becoming one of the classic race the "Madman." "Secret Loser" gives the reason all these fans in saying that Ozzy has surrendered to Glam, we find a great deal of melody, being the voice of Ozzy in charge of sound like, but it is a great melody, plus Jake's guitar and fingers Soussan remind us that this is a real band playing Metal. Next is "Never Know Why" which brings a great melody, great chorus and a guitar again Lee makes a statement with their riffs and solos ... Here are Ozzy's voice a little more acute, and a saying in the choir alien environment for the standards of "Gordo" says that as a "blogger" friend, would be great on an album of "Twisted Sister", does not detract from what is heard ... is a very good topic. "Thank God For The Bomb" might be for me the best song on the album, much like Hair of those years, is impressive as the voice of Ozzy gets that special touch that is found only on that topic ... the truth!, Makes it sound different from the cliche adopted (even playing Glam) ... The vocal performance on this issue is a of the best, the guitar work, again, is incredible, bringing the best riff and solo album, the duo composed by Soussan and Castillo does not merit further comment. 
moment but I think the pachanga and Glam of the disc is in the chorus of the song "Lightning Strikes", but riffs and passages are more lively and more vibrant Heavy ... just a matter of ups and downs. Over this subject has, inexplicably, a masterpiece Ozzy and his own fans have been relegated to the background, leaving the bottom of the trunk ... "Killer Of Giants" is personally one of the best tracks from the career of "Madman." Within all the little songs that can be classified as "ballads" This is undoubtedly the deepest and less mellow and which best conveys the transition between the lament and melody, and I talk about the typical melodies of ballads and heavy weight Metal, Jake E. Lee built the most beautiful introduction that has appeared on albums by Ozzy, some people say that Ozzy ruined the matter with your voice .. is there someone else who could have sung it? ... The groans and cries of the item only does "Gordo", no one else ..! It is a majestic performance accompanied by all the classic vein of Lee, Rhoads deceased's estate in any interpretation of the theme ... This record can be considered unjustified, and this is perhaps the most underrated track record, but deep down every fan Ozzy throughout his career, he had knelt to hear this ... Gentlemen, we are dealing with a masterpiece that can rub shoulders and share the podium with the big issues of Ozzy. Perhaps "Fool Like You" is the heaviest of the album, is repeated praise for Jake and his guitar, without neglecting the rest of the band. 
Hit is turn of the album, promotional item, the beloved "Shot In The Dark", which for many is the savior for this disk is not into oblivion (which I do not agree at all), is the only one who has to Philip Soussan in the credits. Structured in a simple, beautiful melodies that makes it work to perfection ... The surprise is the Ozzy would many years later to discover that this issue was not of Soussan and had been a song from the band of brothers Steve and Chris Overland where was the bass Soussan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSd84aNLDOo . Ozzy to learn to play it live longer, but on their current tour makes it to involve their set list. This setback had its consequences in launching the reissue of the album "The Ozzman Cometh" in 2002, where he was replaced by the song "Miracle Man" from the album "No Rest For The Wicked" ... The Overland brothers have never had the recognition of this one issue, much less received money for this ...
With regard to the letters found on this album, Ozzy made a tour of the simplicity and superficiality, and even political criticism at the time of writing, perhaps one of Ozzy's achievements throughout his career is pass a touch of humanity that is more fantasy theme. Do not change the world or the lives of people with his lyrics, but that convey sincerity shuch!. The cover, which originally had a girl without pants and crucifixes on top of a mountain was censored and challenged co mo
all of Ozzy at that moment, causing a stir in conservative circles, increasing hatred of organizations like the PMRC or pastors of "good live "like Jimmy Swaggart to his person, as extra data we can say that the girl in the video of" Shot in the Dark "and new album cover is one of the LA Rams Cheerleader of Eddie Miller, another assessment refusal could be the production by Ron Nevison, not so much technical as if the path chosen, if the album's tracks had been addressing issues pertaining to an album of Heavy Metal their sound insurance would be more powerful than we have in our retinas. Ozzy on vocals are one of the more homogeneous forms of singing of his career, having a vocal technique Gillan, Dickinson or Dio, his unmistakable style becomes the owner of a unique timbre and the ability to always interpret mark any artist to ask her voice and cooperation. Applause for Mike Moran and Philip Soussan so delivered. Striking and confident Castillo makes you feel sorry for her departure, but which undoubtedly steals the credits (other than Ozyy) is Jake E. Lee, and I repeat the above-mentioned ... This guy has all the recognition they deserved to win with the "Gordo" leaving no nothing "must." 
"The Ultimate Sin" came into the world at a time that ended up becoming iconic albums that were released almost monthly, and as expected the pressure disc getting better, even having a period without taking anything new, made this album have an extra burden of expectations. To make matters worse, the position "Glam" band would pass the bill in historical terms. Not in vain what qualifies and it is their issue and not things outside of music. There is not much of this album to be played live today, which is very unfortunate!. It is said that Ozzy himself did not like even a little of that material ... what to discard the roots ... because Ozzy is playing in the new set list of the "Scream Tour" theme "Killer Of Giants. Not trying to say that "The Ultimate Sin" was the best album of Ozzy's career, but it is foolish not to think about it, wea is that the perceived distance between the treatment itself makes this album Ozzy comparison and relation to their other work is not justified if it is true that at times recalls the Hard / Hair of the mid-'80s, the band's own position helped this, but I insist that the virtue of the issues is what analyzed, therefore it is the music that matters. Perhaps this is not the sole work of the "Gordo" receiving most critical of which should have, but that's another topic ... for now only serves to agree or disagree with anything written ... But before I send the ridge and paper to scribble me invite you to check back to hear this disk, I assure you that your position will change ... not you think? ... give, give and give volume play ... then we talk ...
