Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis Album __hot__ -

Then came “I Just Want You.” A love song? No—a hostage letter. Ozzy, for the first time, sang directly about his addiction to Sharon, his addiction to drugs, his addiction to self-destruction. The chorus didn’t soar; it bled: “I just want you… to love me like you used to do.” It was ugly, honest, and utterly un-Ozzy. It was also breathtaking.

The album also set the stage for many of Ozzy's future endeavors, including the creation of the Ozzfest festival and the reality TV show The Osbournes , which would soon catapult him and his family into a new, different kind of superstardom. Its expansive and layered production also influenced the direction of his subsequent albums, like Down to Earth in 2001. ozzy osbourne ozzmosis album
