5.0 out of 5 stars Angry Machines Rocks!, October 4, 2001

I just need to chime in and say that Angry Machines is a great album. Sure the production seems different than classic earlier albums, but the songs are simple and awsome. Black, Double Monday, and Dying in America are personal favorites. You never hear about this album when Dio comes up, but I believe those who turn over this stone will be one step closer rock n' roll fulfillment.

It may be different and it is definately not Holy Diver but this album is good. It is very different from previous material but it has an edge to it that I think is cool. Much like Strange Highways Dio goes in a newer direction that may upset some people but I think it is really good. It is DARK but the songs have much more substance. Listen to some of his old albums (ie., Sacred Heart) there are some real stinkers there. The whole album has a mood to it that I can't quite explain but I think musically Dio has grown on this album. Check out Strange Highways first before you dive in here though it may be too much of a stretch at first.

In 1996, there were some things missing in the music scene. No one was doing original, straight forward, non-tampered-with albums. So what does Dio do? Make the most raw album in the Dio catalog. Angry Machines is heavy, dark, original and hrd rock that is in your face. Black and Big Sister stand out as the hard rockers. Along with Don't tell the Kids. The string arrangement on Stay out of my Mind is a nice suprise. And This is your Life is the perfect, relaxing closer for the album. So if you are looking for a straight forward hard rock album with the feel of Sabbath. Angry Machines is a good buy.
