CD Details
Synopsis
Amazon.comEverything Ozzy Osbourne touches turns to gold--or platinum! And this compilation of bands from the Black Sabbath frontman's highly successful annual Ozzfest touring package looks to be no exception. Some of the acts included in this 16-song live disc are already major-leaguers, including Sabbath, who kick off the CD with a strong version of their classic, "The Wizard." The nu-metal likes of Slipknot, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Papa Roach turn in solid performances, with Papa Roach's rendition of "Blood Brothers" the most raw performance of the lot. Marilyn Manson serves up a worthy version of their great "Love Song," and in keeping with Ozzfest's reputation for breaking new bands, there are strong entries from Drowning Pool (the unstoppable "Bodies," one of the best offerings here), Union Underground, teen glam-punks Pure Rubbish, and Nonpoint. With this release, Ozzfest reaffirms its position as one of the most consistently excellent summer touring packages. --Katherine Turman

CD Reviews
Ozzfest ROCKS! ...That's if you were at the concert. 01/05/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "I bought this used...and I didn't like it. The recording of Marilyn Manson was degrading to his previous works because it sounded horrible. I've even heard Slipknot's New Abortion on the production CD, and the live version isn't all that good. I was expecting more for this CD. Next year, I hope they get better equipment and get better performers (no offense to about half that were good)." Impressive.... Xalia | Kalamazoo, Michigan (USA) | 07/06/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "Well, for a live cd, this was excellent. I usually do not buy live cds, because the quality usually [is bad], but i did not realize that it was a live cd when i bought it, and it was impressive. it captures the feel of ozzfest on cd, as best as it can be captured."
