Album Description:
Honoring the time Ronnie Dio spent with the band, Black Sabbath's hits "Neon Knights," "Lady Evil," and "Die Young" are featured on this compilation spanning 1980-2006. David Ling contributes liner notes and live versions of "Children of the Sea" and "Country Girl" are showcased.

The idea of Black Sabbath without Ozzy Osbourne was a form of metal sacrilege in 1980, at least until people heard Ronnie James Dio belt out "Oh no, here it comes again..." to open the reformed band's Heaven and Hell. Dio's low-growl had a yowl, squaring frightfully with Tony Iommi's more reined-in crunch. And Sabbath was reborn, playing faster than they had with Ozzy and drawing crowds. Five tracks from Heaven make it to this set, where four from successor, Mob Rules, show up. The winners from each: "Neon Nights" and "Turn Up the Night," both quick, hefty wailers, steamrolling on sheer riffing tonnage. Dehumanizer rekindled the Sabbath/Dio marriage in 1992, showing speed metal's intervening influence--and the band holds up well, racing atop Vinnie Appice's iron-armed drums and Iommi's relentless, intentionally range-limited riffs. Then there are the three new tracks, all benefiting from 2006's richer low-end production and metal's return to a slower grind--where Iommi is more thrilling doling out sludge, as on "Shadow of the Wind," where chords sound slo-mo and blessedly narrow in range. Yes, "Ear on the Wall" closes the set in a hurried, fast- (not speed-) metal vibe, but at best the band is deliberately mid-tempo, making a raucous noise you're happy for after all these years. --Andrew Bartlett

Ah, the almighty Black Sabbath: originators of the heavy metal art form. There is simply no metal band on the planet that is better or more historically significant to the evolution of rock 'n roll as we know it. Originally formed in 1968 and taking on the name of the classic Mario Bava film that inspired them to take a darker approach to their musical stylings, Sabbath brought gloom and doom, shock and awe, and the heaviest sound ever heard by human ears to the masses during their decade with ...

Let me start by saying this isn't likely to convert any Ozzy die hards over to the Dio camp.
To me the Ozzy and Dio years were entirely differant eras for Sabbath, and yes the Dio years don't sound like Sabbath.
This is the Sabbath band playing Dios songs.
If you like that, and I love BOTH versions of Sabbath for what they bring.
Well, you'll like this.
The song selection is mostly very good.
If you know the original albums, most of what you are looking for will ... Read More

Black Sabbath's April, 2007 release which was a retrospective The Dio Years is an excellent overview to the Ronnie James Dio era in Black Sabbath.
Alot of fairweather Sabbath fans think Black Sabbath began and ended with Ozzy Osbourne from 1970-78 but they are WRONG! The band fired Ozzy in 1979 because his behavior was erratic and out of control because of drug and alcohol use. Then the surviving members which were guitarist Tony Iommi, bass player Terry Butler (nicknamed Geezer) and drummer ... Read More

This a great over-view for anyone who wants to get acquainted with the second version of "Black Sabbath" In my opinion this is a stronger line-up with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. The three new songs are pretty good and fit in well with the others. I am holding out that this line up will get together and produce a new record of new material in the very new future.

Many Sabbath fans seem to be divided into two camps:- Ozzy era and Dio era. The Dio era fans seem to be far more narrow minded and won't accept Ozzy's contribution to this classic group. For me Black Sabbath's albums from their first release up to and including the magnificant Sabotage are pure class.
However,the two final Ozzy albums with Sabbath are very sub standard with drugs and Iommi's ego taking their toll. Iommi also tried to push them into a more mainstream sound making Sabbath ... Read More
