Free Music Notes for Killing the Dragon
Free Music Review: As much as he'd like, we'll never get another Holy Diver
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a good album, but sounds like he tried to mix 'Wolves' with the previous outing, Magica. Bring back Vinnie, reunite with Ritchie or Tony, but stop it with these albums. He still has the golden voice that made Holy Diver thru Strange Highways so great, but the lyrics reak and his guitarist tries to steal the show. It's almost like trying to put lyrics to Satriani's solos, it just doesn't happen. Chalk up another one in the dump bin along with Angry Machines. By the way, what's the name of the bonus track, as Amazon won't say.
Killing the Dragon Poster
Bonus material includes "Fever Dreams" & "Rainbow in the Dark" featuring Deep Purple, an enhanced video for "Push", and a Dio Screen Saver.Somewhere in Ronnie James Dio's attic is a portrait of a decrepit rock star growing old in his place. There's no other explanation; Killing the Dragon proves that the vocalist's career is boundless, as he keeps putting out excellent albums. Unlike his previous release (the excellent concept album Magica), Dio goes for a more straightforward metal approach here. New guitarist Doug Aldrich captures the classic Dio sound on the fast-paced "Better in the Dark" and the title track, with its memorable riffs and blistering solos. "Throw Away Children," which deals with the death of a runaway girl, is as passionate musically as it is lyrically, while the dark anthem "Rock & Roll" is hypnotic and Sabbath-like as it builds at a slow and heavy-handed pace. In all, it's a solid collection of traditional metal rockers, all of which are wonderfully recognizable as Dio standards. Only death and taxes are more reliable than he is. --Gail Flug
