Listening to 'Heaven and Hell' by Black Sabbath.
In hindsight, Dio joining up with Iommi, Butler, Ward is a dream combination

My initial reaction to this album was that it was all over the place in terms of style.
It's not exactly 'War Pigs' in terms of darkness, and Dio's vocals give everything such a heightened feel.
But now I just think it's the magic of four greats performing at essentially their peak capabilities. The songs themselves seem to matter less than the musicianship.
That said, the title track is probably my favourite with its very deliberate pace. Neon Knights and Children Of The Sea close behind.
Die Young is pretty great too.

I'm always torn between that and Mob Rules.
I love both
