BlackRoseMetalHeart said:I thought many of the riffs on that album sounded similar to those on Holy Diver. I don't see how that could be horrible. The album was pretty catchy IMO and that was part of the reason I liked it, but I'm beginning to understand that to many metal fans "catchy" automatically means bad. It's not anywhere near Dio's best album, but to loyal Dio fans I don't think it's at all a waste to add to your collection.
I personally did not think so.. on most tracks the guitar sounded very weak, and the tunes sounded uninspired even though it is Dio singing. No songs really stuck out for me... the only catchy one IMO was shivers. I heard it a few times to make sure It would not be one of those albums that just takes a few listens to get into... well, that wasn't the case for me.
