Commercial breakthrough success, best selling album with over 5 million sales worldwide, songwriting collaboration with Lemmy, Grammy Award winning, are among fun facts revolving around Ozzy's sixth album, 'No More Tears'. One of my most fave release of him because he had such a beautiful blend of commercial hard rock feel, the raw element from his metal days, and also Zakk Wylde's southern chug that he began to develop here.

'Mr.Tinkertrain' is a very nice hard rock opener but he should have omitted some repetitive chorus near the end. 'I Don't Want To Change The World' is also a good song, as strong as 'Hellraiser', 'Zombie Stomp', and 'A.V.H'. This album has at least 3 super ballads which their mega-hit, 'Mama I'm Coming Home' is the best one. 'Road To Nowhere' and 'Time After Time' are also sensational, probably among his best ever written. 'Desire' and 'S.I.N' are melodic heavy metal at its finest, the riffs are awesome and solo-part is enthralling.

The bad thing for me here is 'No More Tears'. I don't understand how this song can penetrate the chart because it's too long, with that 'Sweet Emotion' feel, this track is too progressive for the album, and definitely his weakest. With those superior tracks dominating the album, no wonder this got a high praise from everywhere, and I'm convinced that a solid 80%-85% rating is totally deserved.
