- From front to back, "Strange Highways" is the only DIO solo album I can listen to all the way through. I'd probably have to say it is my favorite for that reason. I think he did a good job of keeping his own style and making it more "modern" on this one. Great production too.
"Holy Diver" and "The Last in Line" both start out very strong but the second half descends into pedestrian songwriting.
Overall, I think Dio was actually better collaborating with Iommi and Blackmore than he was on his own though.
I disagree with part of this statement, I do not think the second half of those discs descend into pedestrian songwriting but I do agree he was a better collaborater with Iommi and Blackmore. Once again, Manny is correct! | |
