This review for the 2002 CD, not the original 1983 release or the 1995 remastered CD
If you're a fan of the original release be warned that this 2002 release is a remix, not a remaster. Some parts are now missing, some have been lowered in the mix making them inauduible, while others boosted. To give an example, on the original UK release from 1983, after the great opening riff, the first bit of Jake E Lee that made me sit up and take notice ( I was about 15 and likely lying down alot ) was a superb guitar break around 2:22 on 'Rock 'n' Roll Rebel'. On the 2002 release it's been removed. Very strange!

Bark At The Moon has always been my own personal favourite when it comes to Ozzy's albums. It is also the first album to feature Jake E Lee on lead guitar and you can tell when you listen to the music that Ozzy had a bigger influence on this album than he did on the others when Randy was on lead guitar. All the tracks on the album are heavy metal classics that will soon have you head bangin' way to some simply great music. The opening track, Rock 'N' Roll Rebel, is one of the best tracks Ozzy has written and perhaps it is written with tongue in cheek about the great man himself and his rise to fame. Bark At The Moon, Spiders and Waiting For Darkness also deserve a special mention for the shear inventiveness of some of the music and it was nice to see Ozzy experimenting with keyboards on some of the tracks. There is a very nice ballad on this album, So Tired, and it makes a change to hear Ozzy write some slow beautiful music. If you are a true Ozzy fan then this album is simply a must for your collection as in my humble opinion it is his best work to date.

I bought this CD as I used to own the album on vinyl, and wanted to re-own this classic. Bark At The Moon was the first Ozzy album I owned, and on the strength of this disc, I went on to collect 'Blizzard', 'Madman' and others. This album is a remaster of the original, and as such, sounds sharper and clearer to the point that you can hear things in the mix that you couldn't make out previously on vinyl. My only beef with this reissue is the track listing, as it has been radically changed from the initial version. The album originally began with 'Rock 'n' Roll Rebel', THEN 'Bark At The Moon', but for some reason, 'Bark' is now the album opener, and 'Rebel' has been relegated to track 4. One track has been completely re-named; 'Centre Of Eternity' was originally called 'Forever' on the vinyl release, but for some obscure reason it's name has been changed. I wonder why- was this a decision by Ozzy's management, or the record company? Also, 'Spiders' is listed as a bonus track, which it never was, as it was on the original vinyl release before 'Waiting For Darkness', and 'Slow Down' wasn't there- this must be the actual bonus track, along with 'One Up The B-side', which was Ozzy's original tongue-in-cheek B-side to the 'Bark' single. Those things aside,this is still an all-time rock classic, and displays the versatility that Ozzy unearthed when he left Sabbath. 'So Tired' is the best rock ballad that ELO never made, and 'Forever' (Sorry, 'Centre Of Eternity') still raises major goosebumps with its' overblown gothic intro, complete with churchbells, chanting monks and OTT organ chords. 'Bark' fairly rattles along at a cracking pace with a blisteringly complex guitar riff and an equally dazzling solo, and 'Spiders' is wonderfully atmospheric. If you're a fan of Ozzy and you haven't yet bought this album, go and do it. Now.

Classic.
Oz was on a roll after Blizzard and Diary. Even the tragic death of Randy Rhodes ultimately proved that musically Oz still had what it took to deliver. This album is brilliant. Read more

A major setback after Ozzy's brilliant first two albums
This one is not that bad. However, it lames so much when compared to Ozzy's two previous albums. Jake E Lee does a decent job, but he fell way short in trying to recapture the... Read more
