 Rating: - Continueing the brilliance off "Holy Diver"After Ronnie James Dio's first album Holy Diver in his band "Dio", straight away comes back and makes another Classic Metal Masterpiece from the 80s. Dio and co. give one hell of a performance on "The Last In Line", some of my favourite songs are on here like "Evil Eyes", the superb title track "The Last In Line" which I think has a breathtaking intro & "Mystery". Dio always picks amazing guitarists for the band, the guitarist is the same one from Holy Diver so it's similar style(i'm not saying it sounds the same). The lyrics are fantastic, Ronnie James Dio's vocals are amazing as usual and everything else is great. If you're a fan of heavy metal I suggest you buy yourself a copy of "Holy Diver" and then this album as they are ...

Starting with the heaviest song "We rock" and ending with the softer melody "Egipt - The Chains are on" its a great pleasure to hear this album.Bands like these come once in a lifetime. Rating: - ABSOLUTE QUALITYFantastic. Proper heavy metal at its absolute finest. As a follow up to the breathtaking debut "Holy diver" it had a lot to live up to but once again the wee man cam up trumps. The production isn't quite as incredibly clear and powerful as on the predecessor but it is still a wonderfully well produced album. And the songs, I think, are perhaps even better. Slightly nore emphasis on melody and perhaps not quite as heavy. The musicianship is simply mindblowing. I get my absolute cheap thrills from some of Vinnie Apice's drum fills, they are just so flambouyant! Dio's vocals are unerringly melodic and Canpbell's guitar playing, both rhythm and lead, is incredibly entertaining and skilled. Absolute quality. Rating: - A Great Follow Up !!Dio`s Holy Diver was hailed as a master piece but for my money this album had the better songs on it. From the blistering opener "We Rock" this Album never lets up. Vivian Cambells playing on this album is simply flawless. A stunning demonstration of how good British metal guitar players could be. { Yes i no his Irish but he grew up listening to UK Metal/Rock ] He still has for my money one of the best guitar sounds. Dio`s Vocals are there usual brilliant self, actually there isn`t to much of the Dungeons & Dragons type lyrics on this album. [ unlike his later albums ]"The Last In Line" is still regarded as a classic track. "One Night In The City" has one of those great catchy hook filled chorus`s that you`ll find your self walking down the ... Read More: Rating: - one of the great lost metal albumscliched, yes. dated, yes but so have "Dark Side..", "Stairway " and "Sgt. pepper" and noone cares about that, lyrics about dragons, yes. Brilliant, erm, yes as well. Ronnie James Dio had learnt from his tenure in Rainbow how to write great songs then allow the musicians to stamp their own identity on it. This album, like its predecessor "Holy Diver" overflows with great riffs, guitar solos, and drum fills, with Dio's powerful vocals always standing tall, even if he didn't. "From the machine gun drumming and great riff that introduces "We Rock", this is a classic. Guitarist Vivian Campbell, having paid his dues in unknown Irish rockers "Sweet Savage", grabs his chance like a caged tiger finally on the loose, riffing as though ... Read More: |
