Indeed, but recently He was very impressed by The Work Which Transforms God  .

In my opinion this features dio's best vocal performance...he fits in so well with the atmosphere created by the other instruments. And let's not forget, 'Stargazers' is the definition of an 'Epic'.

I think this album is amazing. Stargazer has always been and will always be one of the best tracks ever written. It is the definition of "epic" and long may it continue to inspire many bands. RIP Dio, your voice will always be heard.

I agree to a certain degree with that sentiment, just finished my first ever listens of both the debut and Rising (sometimes the best Christmas presents are the ones you give to yourself  ), and I definately prefer the debut. In truth, I only liked two thirds of this album (''Starstruck'' and ''Do You Close Your Eyes'' were a bit weak imo). Though ''Stargazers'' has already become one of my favourite Dio-related songs, absolutely amazing song.

But then you get Stargazer later, one of the best songs ever written.

Love that track too and Kill The King. Stargazer does it for me though.

If they removed "Do You Close Your Eyes" I'd give this a perfect 10. Just a horrid song.

No way. When Dio belts out the line, "I See a Gloowww Arrrooouunnnd Yooouuu", I get chills down my spine.

There was a discussion in the shoutbox the other day about Dio's best performance. I fail to see how it can be anything other than "Stargazer".

Stargazers is my fav. Dio song and Rainbow song but the album definitely doesn't deserve a 9. That would be the rainbow featuring the best of the 1st 3 Rainbow albums (Stargazers, Gates Of Babylon, Man On A Silver Mountain, Catch The Rainbow etc...). That album would be a legendary one. Unfortunately none of the 1st 3 albums with Dio are such masterpieces as they contain some filler.

If you're a fan of this album you might want to check out late 70's era Omega (Hungarian band), their song Late Night Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FPbUSpJi7M) reminded me of Stargazer. Usually they are more on the "rock" side but damn that song is heavy.
