Fuck it, I'm going to relisten to this.

I'm a bit biased in this because this is literally my favorite metal record ever.

Album Rating: 3.5

I understand, so far I'm still feeling a 3.5, but it'll probably move up to a 4. Rob's tone on some of these songs is kind of hard to take seriously for me personally. At least with what I've heard of Dio, he sounded miles more commanding than this.

Saints In Hell rules though. m/ m/ m/

They're vastly different from each other. Dio was actually untrained and has a more "chesty" vocal style than Rob. I love them both.



Saints In Hell is underrated af

Just listened to this again and it still rules

no shit

This sounds very meaty to me, I don't hear the thin at all except for the slight lack of oomph of bass in a few spots... which is anyway balanced by Saints in Hell's pulsing bassline that is basically Wrathchild before Wrathchild.



Speaking of which, "Saints In Hell is underrated af": agreed hard since it's most likely my favorite Priest song. m/



"id rather have underproduced than overproduced"

Preach it brother!

"I guess I just find Halford's vocals on certain tracks annoying as fuck"

Those days he produced some of the greatest vocal work in metal. Ever.



The youngins these days can't appreciate a classic set of pipes anymore...

Dio's style is totally different to Rob's



Rob is more on an Ian Gillan vibe

Agent just dislikes both because they sound too good for him and he can't relate.

Rob randomly howling and screaming every song was weird at first but it grew on me

I definitely prefer Rob to Dio, personally. Much more versatility as far as I'm concerned

Album Rating: 4.5

My only problem with Rob's voice is that he sometimes transitions from deeper to a more high pitched style (and vice versa) in a very abrupt way (there are exceptions though, specially in 70's Priest like Dreamer Deceiver). I think Ian Gillan had a way better control of his stupidly wide vocal range



Dio had a way more versatile voice than people think but he certainly couldn't reach the high pitched vocals of Halford or Gillan. From the ballads with Rainbow on his earlier days to the happier vibe of Roger Glover's Love is All. The thing is that from Holy Diver onwards he stayed with the same style that would later become a staple of metal

Album Rating: 3.5

@Thalassic: It physically just sounds grating to my ears, I can't really explain it much. Alex likes to say it's "because they're good"...well, technically early Mikael Akerfeldt is "good" but I love his cleans.

Well you know what to do for next Christmas then. Order a set of ears that can handle the awesome.

Album Rating: 3.5

Or just keep paving my own path, I could do that :^)

I'd take Ozzy over Rob pretty much any day anyway so there's that. Ozzy may not be as technically gifted, but that drugged-out tone made him stand out, especially on early Sabbath. His solo work isn't as impressive though.
