What have you been listening to?

[Priest of Evil]

No worries Bucko I didnt think you were knocking it.

Blitzy, when I was reading up reviews of Dio's later solo era, some were stating Strange Highways (pretty sure it was SH) is kinda like Dehumanizer, what say you?

True! I am pretty sure some of the material was written with Sabbath in mind...much darker than his other solo material. So think dark Dio, with a new young gun on guitar who wants to prove himself anyway he can, and you are on the right track. SH is possibly my fav Dio album. Love it.

Angry Machine is the follow up, and it has the same line up and the same sound, but the songwriting is weaker. Some great tracks, but weak album overall.
