''Scream'' is the eleventh studio album by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2010 and his most recent solo album as of 2015.〔http://noisefull.com/interviews/gus-g〕 The album was recorded at Osbourne's home studio "The Bunker" in Los Angeles, California and produced by himself and Kevin Churko, who had previously worked on ''Black Rain''. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart. Originally titled ''Soul Sucka'', the album was changed to ''Scream''. The album is the first to feature guitarist Gus G, who replaced long-term guitarist Zakk Wylde. The drums on the album were recorded by Kevin Churko, though Tommy Clufetos was credited, as he was touring with the band at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Drummer TOMMY CLUFETOS )〕''Scream'' is also the first release to feature keyboardist Adam Wakeman, who has worked with Osbourne as a touring musician since 2004. The lead single released from the album was "Let Me Hear You Scream", which peaked at number six on the American Rock Songs chart. A 2-CD, "Tour Edition" version of the album was released in the U.S. on 5 October 2010. This package contains the original album on disc 1 and a second CD with seven bonus songs: "One More Time" (originally an iTunes pre-order exclusive), "Jump the Moon" (originally a bonus track on the Japanese release), and "Hand of the Enemy" (previously unreleased) from the ''Scream'' sessions, and four additional live tracks recorded during the UK leg of the ''Scream'' tour: "Bark at the Moon", "Let me Hear You Scream", "No More Tears" and a live recording of Black Sabbath's "Fairies Wear Boots". A four-sided vinyl edition, containing the aforementioned studio tracks along with the live version of "Let Me Hear you Scream" and the single version of "Life Won't Wait", is also available. ==Background== To promote the album, an Ozzy Osbourne track pack had been released as downloadable content for the ''Rock Band'' video game series, containing three ''Scream'' songs and three of Ozzy's greatest hits. "Let Me Hear You Scream", "Soul Sucker" and "Diggin' Me Down" were released alongside "I Don't Wanna Stop" (from the previous album, ''Black Rain''), "Crazy Babies" (from ''No Rest for the Wicked'') and "No More Tears" on 15 June 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Osbourne Tracks Arriving Early Via 'Rock Band' )〕 Other promotions used to advertise the album include the stunt at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim MLB game on 12 June 2010, in which Osbourne encouraged the crowd to scream the title of the album as loud and as long as possible. The goal was to earn the Guinness World Record for loudest and longest scream from a crowd, and it was met successfully. Although the official decibel level has not been announced, the stadium beat the previous record set by a group of Finnish Boy Scouts, which was 127.2 dBA. The money earned was donated to ThinkCure! to aid cancer research. Osbourne has also premiered on many new commercials, video games, albums, etc. to promote the album. "Life Won't Wait" was announced in the Production Notes, but was not actually played during the end credits for the horror film ''Saw 3D''. "Let Me Hear You Scream" was featured along with "Crazy Train" in the video game ''Madden NFL 11''. "Let Me Hear You Scream" hit number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart, which is Osbourne's second single to achieve such a feat. ''Life Won't Wait'' reached #1 on the Mediabase rock chart in Canada, making it his third single to achieve such a feat. CBS had also promoted the song "Let Me Hear You Scream" in their television show ''CSI: NY'' and it was also featured in the episode "Redemption". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scream (Ozzy Osbourne album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
