Análisis (en inglés) - :
The early '80s finally saw singer {$Ronnie James Dio} launch a solo career, after making a name for himself with such renowned {\metal} bands as {$Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow} and {$Black Sabbath}. As a result, it shouldn't come as a surprise that his subsequent outfit, {$Dio}, combined styles of both bands -- namely {$Rainbow}'s goth keyboards and {$Sabbath}'s meaty guitar riffs -- while {$Dio}'s powerful vocals and tales of "dungeons and dragons" were the main focal point. Many fans will agree that {$Dio}'s finest work occurred early on, when ol' {$Ronnie} had a young hotshot guitarist to collaborate with, {$Vivian Campbell} (later of {$Whitesnake} and {$Def Leppard} fame). And that just happens to be the era that the 14-track {^Anthology}, focuses mostly on. Included are such expected {$Dio} classics as {&"Holy Diver,"} {&"Rainbow in the Dark,"} {&"Last in Line,"} and {&"We Rock,"} but it skips the best tracks from 1985's {^Sacred Heart} ({$Campbell}'s last album with {$Dio}), and forwards to the "{$Craig Goldie} era" ({&"All the Fools Sailed Away,"} {&"I Could Have Been a Dreamer"}). Not the most complete {$Dio} collection out there, but paired together with {^Anthology, Vol. 2} (which does include the better tracks from {^Sacred Heart}), it makes for a pretty thorough overview. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
