Dio Album: “Metal Hits”
 Description :
Multi-instrumentalist and heavy-metal mainstay Ronnie James Dio has built up a hefty back catalog over three decades, with a career that spans vocalizing for Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own group, Dio. This best-of, which covers the Dio years exclusively, spans the period between 1983's HOLY DIVER album and 1990's LOCK UP THE WOLVES, and is packed with the kind of high-octane performances Dio fans have come to treasure. Neo-Gothic masterpieces like "Sunset Superman" and "Dream Evil" share space with the metal mysticism of "Last in Line," while Dio's hell's-gate scream holds sway over all.

- Great Dio CD
This is a great CD featuring many of Dio's hit songs. Also since the price is so low you may also want to consider picking up "The Very Best of Dio" which is another greatest hits CD. I believe the CDs only have 4 songs in common, so that leaves plenty of different songs between the two. And the 2nd CD isn't very pricey either.
Both are great buys for any Dio fan or fan of Metal.

- NO DULL ONES HERE
ROCKS STRAIGHT THRU TO THE END! MAYBE A GUNG-HO DIO FAN WOULD'NT GET ENOUGH. HOWEVER THE CASUAL OR NEW DIO FAN SHOULD GET A REAL FEEL FOR THE ARTIST. IT HAS A LOT OF KICK FROM THE SONGS THEY CHOSE TO PUT ON THIS ECONOMY "BEST OF" ALBUM.....ALOT OF BANG FOR THE BUCK 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
- Its OK
The sound quality is excellent on this recording, however really the only two songs on it that I like are "Rainbow In The Dark" and "Holy Diver." Otherwise, if you are a big DIO fan, you may give this one a listen. - Good compilation but...
This is a great compilation with one flaw. The sound quality is awful. Please look for your Dio music elsewhere. The sound is way too tinny. |
