 Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:58 pm Post subject: MASTER OF THE MOON |
 |
|
The first time I saw Dio was on the Last in Line tour at Red Rocks in 83,later I would see the Sacred Heart Tour,and Heaven and Hell Last year. I noticed the progression of the music. I recently found a copy of "Master Of The Moon" a great disc if not underated,but this brings me to my thought. When Dio releases his next new project will it be the same metal music he has championed  , or maybe a new approach like the harder metal of today's bands like Killswitch or Bullet for my Valentine,maybe industrial.  I love the old stuff,I am an old fan,but even Iron Maiden has branched out without losing their sound,or identity. I will always love Dio and whatever he releases.
Just a thought.

You are right my friend, i also like the old stuff more. I personally think that if Ronnie record a new album with the Heaven & Hell dudes, it will sound more like the old days metal. I don't think that any of the current line up will ask for new metal, industrial sound  .
As about the harder metal sound, the last tour of Heaven & Hell was pretty much Heavy Metal, don't you think ??
Don't forget that from the 80s, golden years of metal, until now several things have changed. I think almost all the bands from that era sound much more heavier now (mostly live concerts) than their studio albums

I have mixed feelings towards MoTM...
Although it's a great album it's too...heavy.I'd much rather see an attempt to bring back Dio's older sound.
I give it a four out of five.
The album cover,on another subject,is cool-
But it doesn't have Murray |

I have similar feelings about this album. It's great, heavy, good lyrics, cover etc. But when I listen to it from beginning to end I feel that something is missing......some good old-school rocker. Some fast song to bang your head

i liked master of the moon, but i agree something was missing in the album
i think the temp needs to be raised a little more, the songs sometimes become to slow and plodding

I can see where you're coming from about this. We probably can never tell what Dio will do for his next album. But I know that Dio will stay him/themselves and not follow what everyone else in the industry is doing. Besides, I don't see why Dio, a freakin' metal pioneer, would take an apporach like these so called "harder metal" bands like KSE or BFMV. Dio will continue to do his own thing. |

The best aspect off 'Master of the Moon' is that it has a killer groove. That's haeavy and dark but still damn catchy.
Not a masterpiece album but it's very good with two classic songs in it, 'One More for the Road' and 'I Am'. These songs are worth of the back catalogue, IMO.

Personally I find Craigs tone both on record and live too thin - which brings down the heaviness a bit. Also Craig tends to be a much slower player.........Not one who likes to bemoan anything Dio does - I love the man (I have done since I was 7 and I'm now 38!) but Craig has always been a weak link for me.
