5.0 out of 5 stars Dio's finest solo attempt, Jun 25 2004

By

randy (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Diver (Audio CD)

Dio's first solo album

Holy Diver was Dio's first solo attempt. Dio had already made albums with some of the finest musicians of the seventies such as Ritchie Blackmore and Black Sabbath. Dio was already a metal veteran by the time he started his own solo career. He gave his fans edzactly what they wanted with Holy Diver. This is a powerful album. Holy Diver is hailed as his best solo work. Highlights Include; Stand up and Shout, the title track and Straight Through The Heart

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer Debut Album, Jun 23 2004

By

Gibson SG "acdc5160" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Diver (Audio CD)

This Album is a killer from Stand Up and Shout to Shame on the Night all the songs are crazy. My aunt gave me this tape to get me into some good music and I've never heard anything better. Back to the Album.

Stand Up And Shout 4/5
wonderful beggining track really upbeat

Holy Diver 4/5
The title track is a killer wonderfully written lyrics and great vocals

Gypsy 4/5
The opening is the best it almost sounds like an ACDC song.

Caught In The Middle 3.5/5
Leaning Towards one of my least favorite songs on the cd but still a wonderful song

Don't Talk To Strangers 5/5
Slow music soft and quiet in the beggining then BAM Dio breaks in with his high pitched voice loud and clear.

Straight Through The Heart 5/5
All I can say about this song is that it's wonderful you gotta listen to it.

Invisible 5/5
Favorite Song just fantastic.

Rainbow In The Dark 5/5
Classic Song This one will go down in history.

Shame On The Night 3/5
Not really that great but its still not that bad.

All together this album is probably Dio's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Power Metal at it's zenith....., May 27 2004

By

Matt McLaughlin (Lake George, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holy Diver (Audio CD)

This album, which was released in 1983 following Ronnie James Dio's departure from Rainbow, is still considered today to be one of the greatest heavy metal records ever released. What can be said about Dio that hasn't been already? Great songs and excellent musicianship throughout the record. This holds up well against ANYTHING that Ozzy Osbourne ever did in his solo career (and yes, that includes Blizzard of Ozz). Very highly recommended, especially if you like classic metal. If you like nu metal, give this a spin and see how the pros do it. It will make you wish you had never heard of Limp Bizkit.....
