The album No More Tears found Ozzy and his band in ambitious new territory, modernizing the band's sound with some strong turn of the decade hard rock influences and some songwriting help from the legendary Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD for that heavy cruncher track 7. Zack Wylde even managed to add a little southern rock influences into the overall sound in the odd place here and there which shows off his taste in music. The vast majority of music on this release is pretty much faultless, mixing atmospheric ballads with bouncy and heavy rock numbers full of Zack’s amazing guitar flourishes, creating a superb heavy metal sound. Standout tracks include the incredibly catchy S.I.N. as well as Desire and the excellent Mama I’m Coming Home, all of which are some of Ozzy’s finest ever compositions. The outstanding title track which utilizes a bass heavy rhythmic drive with an ethereal atmospheric accompaniment. This lengthy track perfectly balances a call and response between a bass guitar/vocal line with the heavy guitar in the verse sections with an atmospheric overload on the chorus. The track employs an interesting art rock synthesized bridge that leads up to a ratcheting up effect that leads to one of the best guitar solos on the entire album. No More Tears is a solid and consistent album.Read full review

With Zakk Wylde on lead guitar Ozzy really couldn't do any wrong, but then again you could also say that about him with both Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee too. This release really flows well and provides you with melody and a "wall of sound" provided by studio magic and perfect production quality. I have to admit, most of Ozzy's solo material gets a 5 star ranking from me, and I really love this cd but I don't in any way consider it his finest hour...for that you'd have to go back to the beginning of his days after Black Sabbath when he was playing in the early 80's with Randy Rhoades but as far as Ozzy's material without the "Wild Man Randy" this is probably his finest effort.
This is Zakk's "Gold" medal album! Fantastic writings! One of Ozzy's top 5 Albums! Great songs include....Mamma, I'm coming home, No more tears (Killer guitar riffs!), Time after time & Road to nowhere. This CD must be in every collection! A true masterpiece!
One of the greatest cds ever released in my opinion! Tracks like Mr. Tinkertrain start you off on a ride with Ozzy and Zakk Wylde. One of the greatest ballads ever recorded, Mama Im Coming Home was released on this cd as Ozzy started to show another side of the once deemed "Devil Man of Heavy Metal." Any Black Sabbath, or Ozzy, fan will love this CD. Most already have it. I had to re-buy it. Mine got stolen... if its good enough to be stolen, it must be good? Right?
