This is Dio-Sabbath so it has no chance of being any higher than top 7.

Album Rating: 4.0

yea, but right after them

Album Rating: 3.0

If it weren't for H&H's t/t this would be pretty much as good as that album.

Album Rating: 4.0

hmm i disagree H&H is more consistent

Album Rating: 4.5

H&H is more consistent [2]. "Die Young" and "Children of the Sea" are also of lyrical brilliance.

Album Rating: 5.0

H&H is a little bit more consistent but this sounds more like Sabbath

Album Rating: 4.5

I would seriously put both 80s Dio Sabbath albums and the first three as my five favorite Sabbath albums.

Album Rating: 4.0

Album Rating: 4.0

Digging: Ulver - Neverland

Album Rating: 4.5

"Southern Cross" is a great contender for the greatest metal song of 1981.

Album Rating: 5.0

Album Rating: 4.0

solo from over and over is incredible

Album Rating: 4.2

Yup. Some of Iommi's best solos are on H&H and this one.

Album Rating: 3.5

Did Dio write all the lyrics to this album, or did he and Geezer split?

Album Rating: 4.2

I think it's Dio on both this one and H&H.

Album Rating: 3.5

One of the main reasons I don't really enjoy this album is that I find it odd that there's such a vast difference in the lyrics of songs like Country Girl and Turn Up The Night when compared to more traditionally dark tracks like Sign of the Southern Cross and Voodoo.

Album Rating: 4.2

I can definitely understand where you're coming from. It doesn't bother me personally but it can have an effect on consistency and the overall atmosphere of the album. Still, a 3.5 is a pretty high rating.

Album Rating: 3.0

If this came out before H&H I wonder if it would be viewed differently

Album Rating: 4.0

probably

Album Rating: 4.0
