Again this Dio album I really like and is very underrated by most Dio fans who dislike it. Tracy G brought in a very grungy sound in on this one and tracks like Don`t Tell The Kids is awesome stuff.
But I can`t understand why he seemed set on sounding very Iommish on this album and his sound was a little different on Strange Highways. PowerKnight Twisted Evil

Nice to know, that I'm not the only one who thought this could be a Sabbath album, Tracy G just has that Iommi tone on this album, these lyrics just wouldn't fit on Sabbath record though.

i love the brillant album cover to Angry Machines with the attacking Robot in the city , i also went to see Dio on the Angry Machines Tour in 1997 , at the Astoria Theartre / London , It was a brillant show shows folks , Ronnie also sang the Rainbow track (Mistreated) on this tour .

Great overall record, just very unconventional from Dio. Very strange having all those heavy tracks, then ending with This is your Life.

given the fact that it was the same line-up that recorded the AWESOME "Strange Highways", I had high hopes.

I was disappointed, initially. the only track I really liked was "This Is Your Life".

the album has kind of grown on me over the years.

"God Hates Heavy Metal" is a great song.

found the demos a few weeks ago, good stuff, especially "This Is Your Life".

I do wish they'd do a re-release of various rare and bonus tracks (like God Hates Heavy Metal). I know Ronnie wouldn't want demo versions of anything officially released-- but it would nice to see bonus tracks that were deemed fit for release have greater availability.

(I'd love to have God Hates Heavy Metal, but right now on Amazon that means $70 for a CD that duplicates a CD I already own, except for that one song)
