Ozzy’s singing performances varied from anthemic on “ I Don’t Want to Change to World” to sinister on “ Hellraiser” and heartfelt on the tear-stained ballad “ Mama, I’m Coming Home.” Ozzy worked on the record with producers Duene Baron, John Purdell and Tom Fletcher, who gave the guitars and drums a heavy edge, while drawing out the multitude of melodic hooks. Thankfully, he had guitarist Zakk Wylde to co-write all but one of the songs on the album.
