"Are the tunes super memorable? No, but it’s so worth it for every moment that the beautiful and powerful voice of Ronnie James Dio is blessing your ears." Reply

"Excellent album, a different record to the first but equally as intriguing. Pure excitement over the first few listens I must admit. "Heavenward" is just pure dreamy, "Yuk Foo", "Planet Hunter", "Formidable Cool", "Sadboy" my other favorites and Visions of a Life I just want that track to go on f..." [+] Reply

"Pusha T sounds almost as good as Daytona Pusha T on this project, but the production does not for the most part. It starts off well with the fantastic “Brambleton” but the strong start does not continue. While Daytona is heavy sample based like this album; the choice of samples on Daytona create ..." [+] Reply

"This album demands time and attention, but my goodness it rewards it. Some songs initially sound like aimless wailing and take time to reveal their melodies, but when they do they're absolutely gorgeous. Indeed the whole album is transcendent. The person who described it as sounding like Coldplay..." [+] Reply

"The absolute BEST Rainbow record. The production on this record is perfect...and why not? It was recorded in a haunted castle. This is Dio's first masterpiece album. And really, Blackmore may never have played better himself. "Gates Of Babylon" is one of the three best hard rock songs ever. The o..." [+] Reply

"Not an album that you could class as a top one hundred but a bit like say The Postal Service - very addictive and will get a lot of repeat plays. Songs with a lot of melody that pleasantly drift and swell - a bit like a sedated MGMT" Reply

"This album stunned me. Prophetic, apocalyptic, tender and dark. It made me realise just how powerful music can be when it has poetry in the lyrics, and just how lame most song lyrics really are. I read an interview with Mogwai once. They asked them why they don’t write lyrics for their music. The..." [+] Reply

"A slight step above the previous two albums - it's certainly a great album, and probably above average compared to DT's other work. The album leans more on the soft side than the heavy side, but that's fine with me. Each track brings something interesting to the table, and I don't feel like any t..." [+] Reply
