Flying High Again: The World's Greatest Tribute To Ozzy Osbourne Compilation

It's always a little confusing when tribute albums are released for artists who aren't dead yet. Then again, the old-school, bat-biting Ozzy has since been supplanted by "TV reality dad" Ozzy, so why the hell not? A few stars got roped into this one, including Lemmy howling "Desire" and Yngwie Malmsteen shredding on "Mr. Crowley." It's also kind of weird — but maybe just lazy — that Lita Ford should contribute "Close My Eyes Forever" (albeit a live version), given that she did the original as well. This is an irrelevant little release, but at least the Ozzman's diehard fans will have fun nitpicking the cover renditions to pieces.
