I'm almost embarrassed to admit I like Jorn's version of Sacred Heart better than Dio's...but maybe it's the modern production quality that's catching my ears.
All in all, I agree, fantastic album.
I love it... just would have chosen a few different songs than the ones he did... Would have loved to have heard "One Night in the City"!
I want to get my hands on this one! I'm disappointed that he didn't cover anything from my second favorite Dio album, Lock Up The Wolves.I wish that he had sung the title track and Hey Angel.

I like it quite a bit. Jorn does a great job on this. My only little complain is that the drummer skips (or replaces) quite a few drum fills that I'm so used to hear in the original tracks.
As amazing as Jorn's Dio may be (and as great a Jorn fan as I WAS)... when you don't play your Dio at Sweden Rock (right next to the Dio tribute stage) right after your single comes out online and you pick your most slow-tempo songs to play the entire set, you've lost my respect. At Sweden Rock this year, Jorn literally said "how about R J Dio?!" and then went into as boring a song as he could pick...no Dio song whatsoever! Yuck.
