Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Ozzy Osbourne alcanza una de sus cimas más altas con este álbum, la brillante y trágica despedida del legendario guitarrista Randy Rhoads. En este trabajo, la banda perfecciona el sonido de heavy metal neoclásico que habían iniciado en su debut. El disco es una gran obra de composición, técnica y emoción, que muestra a un grupo en un estado de gracia absoluto.La increíble destreza de Rhoads brilla en cada canción, desde los riffs galopantes de "Over the Mountain" hasta la complejidad de la épica canción que da título al álbum. Ozzy entrega una de sus interpretaciones vocales más poderosas y carismáticas. Es decir, la química entre los músicos es palpable, creando un sonido potente y a la vez sofisticado. Es un pilar del heavy metal y un testamento eterno del genio de Rhoads.

Letra
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Over the mountain, take me across the sky Something in my vision, something deep inside Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now I told them I had ridden shooting stars And said I'd show them how Over and over, always tried to get away Living in a daydream, only place I had to stay Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide People around me talking to the walls inside I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now I told them I had ridden shooting stars And said I'd show them how Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah Over and under, in between the ups and downs Mind on a carpet, magic ride goes 'round and round Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds Watching my body disappear into the crowd Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah - Flying High Again4:44
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Oh no, oh no Here we go now Oh no, oh no Here we go now Got a crazy feeling I don't understand 'Gotta get away from here Feelin' like I should have kept my feet on the ground Waitin' for the sun to appear Mamma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy 'Cause you can't see what my eyes see (I can see it, I can see it) And you can't be inside of me Flying high again I can see through mountains, watch me disappear I can even touch the sky Swallowing colours of the sound I hear Am I just a crazy guy (you bet) Mamma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy If you could be inside my head You'd see that black and white is red Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Come on and join me Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Come on and join me Oh no, oh no Here we go now Oh no, oh no Here we go now Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand Never saw inside my head People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand Never heard a thing I said Mamma's gonna worry I've been a bad, bad boy No use sayin' sorry It's something I enjoy Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again Flying high again - You Can't Kill Rock And Roll
- Believer5:15
Letra
[Daisley - Osbourne - Rhoads] Watching the time go And feeling belief grow Rise above the obstacles People beseech me But they'll never teach me Things that I already know (I know) Dreams that have shattered May not have mattered Take another point of view Doubts will arise, though Like chasing a rainbow I can tell a thing or two (That's true) You've got to believe in yourself Or no one will believe in you Imagination like a bird on the wing Flying free for you to use (OK baby) I can't believe they stop and stare And point their fingers, doubting me Their disbelief suppresses them But they're not blind It's just that they won't see I'm a believer I ain't no deceiver Mountains move before my eyes Destiny planned out I don't need no handout Speculation of the wise - Little Dolls5:39
Letra
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Wrything and screaming The pain just won't go He'll show you no mercy Your image in his hands It's useless to try Escaping his curses The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls Tortured and flaming You give birth to hell Living a nightmare Feelings of pity You'll pray for your death But he's in no hurry The pins and needles prick the skin of little dolls Nowhere to run Your fate is in his hands Your time has come You'll live to his command I'm warning you The worst is yet to come The killer who Remains a mystery I that believe in The stories of old Would never fight it Vengeance and curses That play on your soul Like something ignited You never imagined Such a fate could follow you (You never thought it was true) And when it's your time I wonder how you'll do Your kind of troubles Running deeper than the sea You broke the rules You've been a fool The little doll is you, yeah Nowhere to run Your fate is in his hands Your time has come You'll live to his command I'm warning you The worst is yet to come The killer who Remains a mystery Wrything and screaming The pain just won't go He'll show you no mercy Your image in his hands It's useless to try Escaping his curses Nowhere to run Your fate is in his hands Your time has come You'll live to his command I'm warning you The worst is yet to come The killer who Remains a mystery - Tonight5:51
Letra
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Now I'm back out on the street again It never rains unless it pours Try to get back on my feet again I hear the raging thunder as it roars Tonight, tonight Is it just a rhapsody Or am I right? Tonight, tonight Is it all a mystery? I just can't fight no more I hear the questions surface in my mind Of my mistakes that I have made Times and places I have left behind And am I ever gonna make the grade? Tonight, tonight Is it just a rhapsody Or am I right? Tonight, tonight Is it all a mystery? I just can't fight no more As I beat my head against the wall Running 'round in circles in vain I'm feeling three foot tall You don't understand I'm fading away Don't want your pity or your sympathy It isn't gonna prove a thing to me Good intentions pave the way to hell Don't you worry when you hear me sing Tonight, tonight Is it just a rhapsody Or am I right? Tonight, tonight Is it all a mystery? I just can't fight - S.A.T.O.4:07
Letra
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Now I'll find peace of mind Finally found a way of thinking Tried the rest, found the best Stormy day won't see me sinking I can't conceal it like I knew I did before I got to tell you now, the ship is ready Waiting on the shore Dare to look, face the test On the eve when you set sailing What you've learned, what you've earned Ship of joy will stop you failing I can't conceal it like I knew I did before I got to tell you now, the ship is ready Waiting on the shore Wind is high, so am I As the shore sinks in the distance Dreams unfold, seek the gold Gold that's brighter than the sunlight Sail away, see the day Dawning on a new horizon Gold's in sight, shining bright Brighter than the sun that's rising Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind A raging sea below Is this voyage coming to an end? - Diary Of A Madman6:16
Letra
[Daisley - Kerslake - Osbourne - Rhoads] Screaming at the window Watch me die another day Hopeless situation Endless price I have to pay Sanity now it's beyond me There's no choice Diary of a madman Walk the line again today Entries of confusion Dear diary, I'm here to stay Manic depression befriends me Hear his voice Sanity now it's beyond me There's no choice A sickened mind and spirit The mirror tells me lies Could I mistake myself for someone Who lives behind my eyes? Will he escape my soul Or will he live in me? Is he trying to get out Or trying to enter me? Voices in the darkness Scream away my mental health Can I ask a question To help me save me from myself? Enemies fill up the pages Are they me Monday 'till Sunday in stages Set me free - I Don't Know (En Vivo)
