Beim Einspielen von Diary of a Madman musste sich die Band aufgrund der anstehenden Touraktivitäten beeilen. Dies ist dem Album anzumerken. So wurde etwa versäumt, die Version von Rhoads’ Gitarrensolo in Little Dolls durch die eigentlich zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte zu ersetzen. Die Balladen wirken zum Teil länger als nötig. Kurz vor der Veröffentlichung des Albums wurden Bob Daisley (Bass) und Lee Kerslake (Schlagzeug), die es eingespielt hatten, durch Rudy Sarzo und Tommy Aldridge ersetzt. Letztere kamen auch auf das Albumcover. Auch der dort genannte Don Airey war laut Aussage Bob Daisleys in einem Interview nicht beteiligt, eingespielt habe die Keyboards Johnny Cook.

Diary of a Madman (с англ. — «Дневник Сумасшедшего») — второй студийный альбом британского рок-музыканта Оззи Осборна, который был записан в период с 9 февраля по 23 марта 1981 года, что совпадает соответственно с концом зимы в Великобритании и концом записи альбома в день весеннего равноденствия. Альбом был издан 7 ноября 1981 года, и переиздан 22 августа 1995 года. Альтернативная версия появилась в 2002 году.

Blizzard of Ozz – debiutancki solowy album Ozzy’ego Osbourne’a, wydany 20 września 1980 roku (zob. 1980 w muzyce). Jest to pierwszy solowy album Osbourne'a i jeden z dwóch studyjnych albumów przed śmiercią gitarzysty Randy’ego Rhoadsa w marcu 1982. Jako single z płyty zostały wydane utwory „Crazy Train” oraz „Mr. Crowley”.
W roku 2002 dokonano reedycji albumu, dodając utwór „You Lookin' At Me Lookin' At You” (w późniejszych wydaniach zmieniając nieco pisownię tytułu na „You Looking At Me, Looking At You”). W wyników sądowych sporów o tantiemy pomiędzy Osbourne'em a byłymi członkami jego zespołu oryginalne partie basu i perkusji zastąpiono nowymi ścieżkami nagranymi przez muzyków wówczas z nim współpracujących, Roberta Trujillo i Mike'a Bordina, co wywołało niezadowolenie fanów wokalisty. Podczas kolejnego rozszerzenia albumu w 2011 roku (dodano do listy utworów nowy miks piosenki „Goodbye To Romance” oraz 70-sekundowy fragment gry na gitarze w wykonaniu Rhoadsa) przywrócono płycie pierwotne brzmienie sekcji rytmicznej.

Blizzard of Ozz is the debut studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, released on 20 September 1980 in the UK and on 27 March 1981 in the US. The album was Osbourne's first release following his firing from Black Sabbath in 1979. Blizzard of Ozz is the first of two studio albums Osbourne recorded with guitarist Randy Rhoads prior to Rhoads' death in 1982. In 2017, it was ranked 9th on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".

Black Rain is the tenth studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, released 22 May 2007 via Epic Records. It is Osbourne's last album to feature guitar player Zakk Wylde and drummer Mike Bordin, and the first to feature bassist Rob Nicholson. Black Rain debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200, selling about 152,000 copies in its first week; making it Osbourne's highest debut to date. The album has been certified Gold in US.

"Black Rain" is the title of Ozzy Osbourne's ninth studio album, released 22 May 2007 on Epic Records. It is also the last album to feature Zakk Wylde and Mike Bordin. The album went Gold in the US and has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide.

The album was released in several different versions. The original US version was released in a thin, brown digipak with the crowned skull Ozzy Osbourne logo (pictured lower right), and for the rest of the world, it was released in a standard jewel case featuring cover art of Osbourne with "Black Rain" falling. This cover included a booklet complete with lyrics and album credits. The US version did not include a booklet, lyrics, or album credits. The Japanese release was the same as the other releases outside of the US, except for the fact that it included two bonus tracks, "I Can't Save You", and "Nightmare". The iTunes release of the album included the aforementioned "Nightmare", plus an exclusive bonus track, (only for those who preordered through iTunes) "Love to Hate". It also included a printable pdf file of the booklet, complete with lyrics and album credits. This same booklet was later made available as a free pdf download from Osbourne's website on 1 June. The song "I Don't Wanna Stop" was also featured as the theme song for WWE Judgment Day 2007.

Bark at the Moon ist das dritte Studioalbum des Musikers Ozzy Osbourne. Es wurde am 10. Dezember 1983 veröffentlicht. 1995 und 2002 erschienen Remaster-Versionen. Der zuvor bei einem Flugunfall tödlich verunglückte Randy Rhoads wurde durch Jake E. Lee ersetzt. Das Album erreichte Dreifachplatin in den USA.

Bark at the Moon is the third studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, originally released on 15 November 1983. A commercial success, Bark at the Moon peaked at number 19 on the Billboard album chart and within several weeks of release was certified gold for over 500,000 sales in the United States. To date, it has sold over 3,000,000 copies in the United States. In the UK, it was the third of four Osbourne albums to attain silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in January 1984. The album was remastered on CD in 1995 and again (with a different mix) in 2002. This is Osbourne's first album to feature guitarist Jake E. Lee and only studio album to feature drummer Tommy Aldridge.

Bark at the Moon is the only Ozzy Osbourne album on which the songwriting is credited entirely to Osbourne. However, guitarist Jake E. Lee maintains that he composed a significant amount of the album's music but was cheated out of his writing and publishing claims by Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon. Lee claims that after he had composed the songs and completed recording his parts in the studio, he was presented with a contract which stated that he would have no claim to any writing or publishing relating to the album. The contract also stated that Lee could not mention this publicly. Lee claims he signed the contract because he had no legal representation and because Sharon threatened to fire him and have another guitarist re-record his parts if he refused.

Es dauerte einige Zeit, bis sich Osbourne vom Tod seines Songwriting-Partners und Freundes Rhoads erholt hatte. Jake E. Lee (zuvor u. a. bei Dio) als Nachfolger spielte weniger neoklassisch, dafür metalorientierter. Das von Max Norman produzierte Album verkaufte sich dennoch ebenso gut wie der Vorgänger. Es enthielt mit So Tired auch eine streicherunterlegte Ballade. Das Video zum Titelstück, wie das Albumcover von Greg Cannom, wurde ein MTV-Erfolg. Im Video ist Carmine Appice zu sehen, obwohl Tommy Aldridge bei den Aufnahmen das Schlagzeug spielte. Zudem ist Gary-Moore-Keyboarder Don Airey als Gastmusiker zu hören.
