Looks pretty thin this week in new album releases. Ozzy Osbourne has a new album called Black Rain. It's his first proper new album since before his dumb MTV reality sitcom. This guy wasn't much of an artist even in his prime before he blew his brain out on booze and dope. God only knows why anyone would give a rat's ass about any record he'd make now, other than maybe as some kind of cheap camp irony.
Maroon 5 have their second album out, It Won't Be Soon Before Long. It's been five years since their first album and big hit "This Love." Judging from their appearance on SNL last weekend though, they don't seem to have managed to conjure up even one good hook in all those years. But what do I know? This album is currently the #1 seller at Amazon.Joan Osborne has a new album out on Time Life Records. Breakfast in Bed shows her covering classics like "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Ain't No Sunshine." On the one hand, an album of covers doesn't sound all that scintillating. On the other hand, Joan Osborne is an outstanding singer. She's a powerhouse singer who understands the virtues of restraint.
