 Dio Rules
I like Dio in this band. The Ozzy years were good too until, it seems, he went off on his "own tangent". Kudos to RJD.

 Heck Yeah!
Let me preface this by saying that I am an immense fan of Ozzy-era black Sabbath. Anmittedly, I was somewhat reluctant to by this CD. I thought: "Well, I love 'Sabbath and Dio is great, but...Dio IN Black Sabbath. I don't know?" As soon as I gave this CD a listen, all my misgivings went flying out the window. It was NOT the pale imitation I thought it might be. It was a different but equally as great Black Sabbath. Ronnie Dio gave new life, new perspective and a freshness to the band that frakly was not present in the band on their last couple of albums with Ozzy Osbourne.

 dio: king of metal
ronnie james dio is a king. he had a diverse career out of making bands and being in bands form obscurity into fame. he had a gig in elf then came rainbow. the megabombastic project paid off. from '75 to '79 dio was king of the metal era but blackmore with his ego stroked mind booted him off and then came sabbath. heaven and hell went platinum and rekindled black sabbath. the mob rules wins the hearts of fans but he was booted again!. he had a solo career and paid off. now he is touring with heaven and hell aka black sabbath despite that stupid woman sharon osbourne he and tony and co' rocked the land. i like the mob rules and some of the lyrics remind me of the legend of zelda: twilight princess. lol! dio is number one and better than ozzy or glen or some other singer from that era irecommend this for christmas time. unplesant dreams.

 Excellent...Should have been a 3 cd set
The remastering is awsome, The 3 new tracks alone are better than Ozzy's Black Rain combined. But alot of stuff missing from this one. They should have remastered all 3 Dio discs and put the new stuff at the end of Dehumanizer.. Great stuff...Buy the Live Heaven & Hell at radio City DVD & CD also..

 The Dio Sabbath is back!
It is a great CD, the three new tracks are well written. Hope they continue this effort and release another CD next year.
