For a comeback from the eleven millionth rehab of the prince of darkness would have to expect something big, a huge success, a great album! Listening to Perry Mason you are sure this release can deal with your expectations, but quickly all your hopes will be shed to splinters. Ozzmosis (which is good word play though) has it's highlights right at the beginning, but that are the two best shots 'Perry Mason' and 'I Just Want You'and then it's done, at least for me it is. Both these strong are strong and dark, Perry Mason a bit faster than the kind of balladesque 'I Just Want You', but still a mid-tempo song. Both earn a ten rating, but after them only 'Tomorrow' stands out a bit of a line of quite uninteresting american west-coast blues rock oriented pop-like slow songs that tend to bore the hell outta you when you compare them to 'Perry M.' and 'I Just Want You'. Especially in 'Perry Mason' you find the guitar work that makes Zakk Wylde a big name, but except the songs two and six, the whole thing is inapropriately shitty, yet somehow catching the feel of finding back the will to live? But reading the big names of Lemmy Kilmister, Steve Vai, Geezer Butler as writing partners you would have thought of something bigger and better, but this record does not approximately try to please you in this way! 'Thunder Underground' could have been way better than it is and the bonus tracks on the 2002 reissue (which was produced by Bruce Dickinson) cannot erase the fact that the album is what it is: In a whole boring yet with very few very very outstanding highlights.

After the impressive No More Tears album, you would hope they would have a run of good form, and it sounded promising after hearing the first two tracks "Perry Mason", and "I Just Want You", but then it simply lost the plot, the songwriting became very bland, and uninspiring, and the music was as generic as it could get. This album is average at best imho.

Not good at all.. Perry Mason is great and I also like My Little Man but the rest I can live without. Zakks playing starts to feel very onesided at this point and one would think it would be pretty good with both Geezer Butler and Deen Castronovo in the line-up but sadly it doesn't. Both the reissue bonus tracks are pretty damn strong though and makes the album a bit more worth while.
