I only realized the super dark humorous meaning of the title a while ago. It took me forever to realize what the "holy diver" was. I knew Dio didn't like the church but dang. Shame on me for not getting it for so long.

It may be an "attack" to the church, but not to religion itself I believe

yeah it wasn't really attacking religion, just the decline of the church's integrity

Dio wasn't a believer, but I wouldn't call him an atheist either. He was pretty open minded







"Invisible has such an incredible intro, definitely one of the best metal ballads of that time."



Probably the only thing I don't like from this album is Invisible's intro

If he wasnt a believer then he was an atheist by default. I remember hearing about those protests at his funeral which were disgusting.

I'll paraphrase it as best I can, but I remember him saying during A Headbanger's Journey something along the lines of this world being Heaven and Hell, and it's what you make of your life that determines if your life is Heaven of if it's Hell---that there is good and evil in everything and it's what we do that counts. Roughly paraphrased. I interpreted it as implying that because this world is all you get, you might as well try to live as best you can.

I remember him saying really snarky things about the Catholic church, specifically their anti-contraception stance in the face the inevitable overpopulation of the planet.

Westboro just mad cus KJB has weaker lines than Holy Diver yo.

Westboro baptists church protested in front of my school once. I almost kissed a boy right in front of them but clearly didn't have the balls to do it. :/

Thankfully they aren't outside the USA





In my country Protestants are the ones that act like idiots and catholics are a little bit more open minded... totally the opposite from the States it seems

I'd say they're all equally nuts, just in different ways.





And westboro isn't worth even mentioning. They're simply trolls/poes that protest for the sake of spreading their stupid fanaticism. Protesting or mocking them is pointless since nobody else in the world actually agrees with them, so making them look stupid doesn't benefit the world at all. I wish people would just stop talking about them and focus more on real issues like misogyny and sexual abuse in the religious communities.

Caught In The Middle and maybe even almost half of the album could have a spot in my favorite songs. I'm torn between a 4.5 and 5.



Give me a reason for not shooting that 5.
