Light in the Black is incredible too. Not a weak moment on this album.

Album Rating: 5.0

I just love when the guitar and the keys play together with that stupidly happy rythm in the solo, I fucking love that moment

Album Rating: 5.0

Definitely dude. One of my favorite moments is Dio's vocals on Run With the Wolf when his sings what's to come, when the siren calls you go, yeah.

Why this only has 14 pages I'll never understand.

manosg, seriously, jam the L.A. mix of this album, most people wouldn't notice the difference, but the bass is way more powerful



And Cozy adds a little of sleighbell in RwtW that sounds pretty cool for something that simple haha

Not even 600 people have rated this, shame on you Sputnik.

I have bro, it's incredible even though it felt strange at first listen. What's the difference with the New York mix?

Album Rating: 5.0

I think the NY mix is the one that they used in the final record, cause I haven't found any difference with the original tbh



And have you heard the rehearsal version of Do you Close your Eyes? it has, COWBELL :D

Yeah danny's right, this needs like 500 more votes, at least

Album Rating: 4.5

I mean, I love Floyd, and like Opeth and Radiohead (3 of the most discussed bands on here), but it makes one kinda wish to take a bit of attention off of those bands and transfer it to bands like Rainbow and DP.

Album Rating: 5.0

70's never get that much love in here



Have you jammed Long Live Rock & Roll and the debut danny?

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm pretty sure I haven't.

Album Rating: 5.0

Still remember the first time I heard Gates of Babylon. Prepare to be amazed danny...

Album Rating: 5.0

This is the best but the other two are 5's for me too



Debut has a lot of reminiscences of the DP Blackmore's era and LLR&R has Gates of Babylon and Kill the King which are as good as any of the songs in here





Oh and both have something that I don't think you'll find in any other album: Dio singing ballads

Album Rating: 5.0

manosg, you know more about extreme metal than me, I'm not sure what kind of metal Kill the King created, but it definitely did something, BIG

Album Rating: 5.0

Power metal but the first influences are actually on this album I think.

Album Rating: 5.0

Really? I thought KtK was in a more speed metal way

Album Rating: 5.0

Well, speed and power are quite similar but due to the lyrical content (fantasy themes) I think Rainbow played a bigger role on power.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah, I don't think these guys had much impact on thrash.



They might've influenced prog-metal tho.

Album Rating: 5.0

Oh yeah, their first 3 albums pretty much created the genre just like with Neo-Classical Metal



And they're easily one of the most influential bands in the creation of prog metal, they were far more proggy than DP
