Got an advanced copy of the album yesterday. IMHO, one of the best metal albums to come out in a long time. Dio is at the top of his game, and Tony Iommi never seems to run out of MONSTER riffs.
You can hear the first single of the album, "Bible Black" on their myspace page: Heaven & Hell.
This album rocks from start to finish. Pick this one up at as soon as you can!

He takes very good care of his voice.:up: -
Sabbath and Ozzy will never reform. Ozzy is a ****ing joke now, and to be honest all he ever brought to the table was insanity.
Geezer wrote all the Sabbath lyrics, and Iommi the music. Ozzy was nothing in the creativity department. With Dio, not only is he a FAR superior singer, his lyrics are masterful.
I know some may call this blasphemy, but I've always preferred the Sabbath lineup with Ronnie.TrueDolFan, unifiedtheory, NJFINSFAN1 and 1 other person like this. -
But yeah, Ozzy hasn't put out a decent album in years. He's got a good ability to get a crowd going (at least 20 years ago he did), and some of his earlier stuff sounds pretty good. But I'd stick a fork in him, he's done. Dio still has the chops to do it, and do it well.:up:Pagan likes this. -

Here's a clip called 'We Rock', with Vivian Campbell on lead guitar, before he was with Whitesnake, and Def Leppard. I can tell you that Dio sounds as good in this clip from '84 as he did when I saw him in '01, He's timeless, enjoy.:up:

Just got it and OH MY GOD. This is an awesome album so far! This will be my final push packing soundtrack for the rest of today.

Yeah, I got it off I Tunes this morning, awesome stuff, they sound great!
Album of the Year so far although we all know they would never get a shot at winning it.
After the first listen I really like Rock and Roll Angel. -
IS it just me or does some of the songs towards the end (Not the old live ones), it sounds like Dio sounds very Bruce Dickerson like?

Bought the digital album off Amazon. Have only listened to a couple songs so far

I know what you meant but I don't see the connection.
"The Devil I Know" is a good record but not really a great one IMO. It lacks that overall attack.
Dio was the better singer for Black Sabbath but not necessarily the perfect fit. Natch! -
It's good but not great
