Nice to have you back Ronnie
Old Ronnie James is back. The slower pace of Strange Highways and Angry Machines was disappointing to me. But he has now returned to his old rocking ways. This cd is not as good as his old stuff, but it is similar and it definitely rocks!!! Great to hear him playing quicker, faster tunes again. For all you true Dio fans, definitely pick it up.

We Rock
Dio is back with a vengence. He has masterfuly combined his now famous melodic openings with the fury of a full on metal attack. It is heavier and better than anything he has done in a long time. Buy it you won't be disappointed.

were is the magic?
First of all, I'm a big Dio fan and I loved Magica. But this album just doesn't do it for me. The songs aren't all that bad, but they lack energy. The only musician that had energy while recording was Doug Aldrich (guitarist). The drumming is very basic and boring, Dio should fire him and hire a real professional drummer. Another bad thing is the flat production, it doens't sound fresh at all and it sounds just flat. The next album (master of the moon) is even worse, none of the bandmembers have energy on that album and the production is flat again. I am a bit sad about the last two album, and I am afraid that Dio has lost his magic.

3.5 stars? or 4? hm...
This album is nice, but it doesn't have the quality and magic that Magica(2000) has. It's a bit of a let down after the great Magica masterpiece, still good eighties metal.

It's better in dark and light
Dio Rocks!!One of the best ever metal album, more melodic and even more shadowy.
