No more tears is his best work to me BUT
No rest for the wicked is Zakk’s intro to the world which I remember more based on how different it was for the time.

No Rest For The Wicked is my favorite. I think his playing went up a few notches on No More Tears but I prefer the songs on No Rest

No More Tears for me. That album elevated both Zakk and Ozzy to the next level in their careers. IMHO, it was their defining album.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED!
OZZY TO EARTH: "YER GONNA LOVE THE NEW GUY!"
ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER, THAT ALBUM IS STILL A SWIFT KICK IN THE BALLS.
G.O.A.T. LEVEL ALBUM IN THE HISTORY OF HEAVY METAL.
The songs are killer. It's a fuckin' scrappy and snarlin' record.
21 year old Jeff Wielandt of Jackson, New Jersey AKA Zakk Wylde stormed out of the gate with Miracle man, which is a Godzilla sized bitch slap and a hurricane all rolled into one. Zakk didn't sound like a clone, so people liked him for that right off the bat. His vibrato, WTF?! NOBODY had vibrato like that. NOBODY. EVER. Fucking amazing. Chops to burn, ballsy tones, and his riffs and solos sounded fresh. No cliches with this new guy. Ozzy had done it again, the Prince of Darkness had manifested another guitar hero. What was really cool, too, was that lot the metal guitarists were working on learning Zakk's guitar parts and techniques, because people RESPECTED and STUDIED Zakk's playing from the git-go.
I loved every song on that record. Still do.
No More Tears was a milestone for Ozzy and Zakk, absolutely.
No Rest for the Wicked is Ozzy Osbourne telling everyone "FUCK YOU, I DO WHAT I WANT. NOW CHECK THIS OUT!"
This link goes to the playlist for the entire album.
Ozzy's new guy Zakk, that kid did all right.
