in what way?
not saying this is a bad album - I think I had it as a 4 before ratings wipe - but there's not a single song on here that is more iconic or catchy or anything than literally every song on Holy Diver

plus Dio's vox are 1000000 times better on Diver, that's not even debatable.

I'm appreciating Holy Diver more than I used to, but I think my problem is that it simply didn't age very well. While it was a pioneering album for power metal, I think there's even more cheese on Dio's record than in many future legends of the genre.

ok well I wouldn't call it power metal, or even proto-power metal. It's just pure '80s hard rocking, heavy metal.
and that's also why it's cheesy; it was made in the '80s. don't see how that's a bad thing.

Yeah, it isn't really power metal. I was moreso referring to its influence :]

this does not have better production you are flat out wrong on that one

riffs like you could maybe make a case for but nah Holy Diver t/t riff alone destroys anything on here, plus there's Stand Up and Shout which is like, a CLASSIC heavy metal riff that every band rips off, Caught in the Middle is the '80s embodied in a riff, Don't Talk to Strangers ughhhh omg no the riffs are not better on here sorry you are so god damn wrong

the production on Holy Diver is one of the best of '80s metal albums ever how can you even say that! this easily has worse production!
