that's kind of what i was saying, too...
i was thinking, 'this could be difficult to play... so it sounds like the guitarist definitely has something going on... but i don't like it' |
I have just read your other post and I agree with your words... there's something similar at Hardcore on Tracy G work, someting industrial, something that I just dislike.

The nineties were killer for heavy music and also Dio was been hit hard. I don't like it.

 I understood it was you just by reading your post... Anyway, I agree with you of course.

| Yeah, I would have to agree that the nineties were generally rubbish musicwise. However, Angry Machines is not a bad album and I still listen to it occasionally. For all that, it still isn't one of Dio's best albums. |

"Angry Machines" is not a bad album if you compare with other work of artists in the nineties, but among Dio albums it is poor.

admittedly ~ angry machines weakness seemed to be, ironically, it's off-the-wallness.
yes. 'off the wallness.'
that is the term i will use. yes.
because (never start a sentence with 'because' or use apostrphes for quotation marks) the STRENGTH of this cd/album was ALSO it's 'off the wallness'.
~ i think there were streaks of brilliance on this one.
uncharted territory ! ~
although Strange Highways had already done this, also.
not nearly as in-your-face as Last in Line or Holy Diver.
but as has been said by wiser folks than myself,
what is the point of wanting dio to re-record the same
two albums again.
i like meditating and focusing on weird Cosmopolitan magazine model pics while i listen to A.M.
just kidding. geez. where did that come from.
knock knock omg it's the fbi be back later.

omg are you kidding.
90s music sucked??
94 was the golden age of alternative mainstream kick-in, my bruthuhs.
smashing pumpkins. nirvana. STP. Pearl Jam. (yeh... i mean albums AFTER the first two. give me a break, Jeremy is not their only song and can only be played/requested so many billion times)
angry machines was sort of like a catalyst ~ if you will.
a culmination of the two or three genres of music kicking
around at that point in time, the symbiotic statement
of existantialistic trans-metaphoric qausi-nihilism that
reverberated from the infrastructure of a democratic
presidency. yes. why did no one else realize this at
the time.

Bought this album yesterday. I really like it. Non problems with this at all. Not as good as what followed though.

I agree totally... same thing with me. I liked at the first only Double monday, Hunter of the heart and wild one, but then I started to enjoy many other song as well. |

...buy ALL of Ronnie's albums... some say "this one or that one is better than others"...but I think that is all a matter of ones mood/taste...unless you have a complete collection, you are missing out Rite?!...  ... plus, hanging around here...you might just find alot of goodies that money just cannot buy...  |

I just got my copy of Angry Machines today and listened to it this evening. I don't think that it is that bad, although I can certainly understand why a "classic" heavy metal fan (which I would consider myself at this point, I suppose) would regard it with disdain, and most certainly a fan of classic Dio. It is highly indicative of 1990's metal, the most striking aspect of the music being the ferocity of the songs and the playing of Tracy G, who, if nothing else, cements his place in Dio's history with his distinctive style. I cannot say that I prefer this to Holy Diver, The Last In Line, or Dream Evil, but it's not nearly as bad as I feared it might be. The worst part of it is the album cover, I believe. |

| I like Angry Machines, I wouldnt say it is bad, but its not great either. I'll probably catch some flack for saying this, but for me it was the same with Dream Evil, I WAS let down by Dream Evil AT FIRST when it came out, but now i love it. Same with Angry Machines. |
