5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect!, July 4, 2003

This review is from: Dio Anthology: Stand Up & Shout (Audio CD)

What an amazing collection! And appropriate. Are there certain songs I'd rather have seen included? Of course! But that's not a slam on the product. Rather, Ronnie has such a deep catalogue of great music I believe everyone has a song or two they would have inserted if possible. Hopefully this will sell REALLY well (that's a hint folks) and a boxed set will follow.

Did I mention Dio is the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be?

Hey I'm with the other reviewers in feeling some songs should have been included here rather than others(i.e.Mystery,Rock n'Roll Children) but overall it is a pretty great disc. You get "man on the Silver Mountain","Heaven and Hell" and a good collection from "Holy Diver" on two CDs. Short of buying the upcoming boxed set where else can you get this overview from a great career. I think with most anthologies people tend to focus on what is missing rather than what is included. This set smokes from the begining to the end(even though I am not much of an ELF fan). I highly recommend this album to anyone who is interested in sampling one the great heavy metal masters. I know you will want to buy the complete albums from DIO.

All smoke, No mirrors!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overiew of Dio's work, June 2, 2003

By

This review is from: Dio Anthology: Stand Up & Shout (Audio CD)

First of all, this would be 5 stars, but I having just got The Very Beast of Dio not that long ago... well, there's a lot of Dio collections out there already, but this is very excellent!

I will go over the packaging first. It, like a lot of releases these days, is cardboard. The liner notes are very well done, provide a nice overview/commentary on Dio's career, which you probably already know all about. That's not the highlight though, the highlight is Dio's track-by-track commentary. Sure some of these things have been said, but it's really nice to read his own thoughts about the tracks while you're listening to them. There are a lot of nice photos in the notes. Very Beast's notes don't even compare!

The content... this is the first Dio anthology to contain his Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and solo releases. You will notice however this release does not cover any of his work after he left Warner Bros. (the first album away was Angry Machines.) This is unfortunate, because there are a lot of good tracks off the four albums he's released since.

The quality of the songs is by the far best. The remasters are very nice, and since I don't yet have all the Castle remasters for Sabbath, even better. Originally I was hoping this release would contain bonus stuff, like unreleased live tracks, or other songs (like the other song from Lock up the Wolves that wasn't on the studio release.) The release does contain some live songs Voodoo by Black Sabbath (off of Live Evil, the end banter is cut off, but that's probably because Dio is introducing the next song, which of course, isn't included on this release.) The song "Sacred Heart" is also live on here, and it's from Intermission.

Overall this is a very good collection, right up there with the recent release of Sympton of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath, which was also released by Warner, so if you have that, you can expect about the same (not quite as massive liner notes however.)

If you've never listened to Dio, you should pick this up immediately! If you're just a casual fan and arleady have some of his albums, or other greatest hits collection than this isn't for you, but I'm sure the big Dio fans (like me) won't have a hard time enjoying this new collection!
