CD review -- HEAVEN AND HELL, The Devil You Know

[indysmith]

Meh, the tracks I've listened to on the MySpace seem a bit same old same old.
These people really don't want music to move on since the 1980s...

Nice production though (from what I can tell - myspace isn't great for critical listening :lol: )

\o/

I must say I like my metal the old fashioned way... heavy

[Ratrod]

Listening to the Myspace tracks now.

Sounds pretty good. Haven't bought a metal album for some time now but this is worth checking out.

If you're old enough for a free bus pass, you've probably missed your window of opportunity for suddenly becoming a modernist.

It's awesome.

Everything on this album is big - big guitars, big drums, big voice.

This is what "heavy" means to me.

I agree, and that's mostly due to the fact that every instrument has room to breathe, instead of figuring out how to get 16dB of overs to press without CD players rejecting it! (Death Magnetic, I'm looking at you!!)

I agree, bit boring. I really hate Dios voice sometimes, its so annoying haha

^^^^^^ - very ture, decent-ish album ruined by loudness issues = Death Magnetic!

I caught the advert for the new Heaven+Hell offering and thought 'woah, that sounds much better than I expected' - I may have to invest in a copy - I wish I had been to see them on tour now, but they only played the COncert Hall in Nottingham, which is NOT a good venue to see a 'heavy' band in................Motorhead are playing there as well, argh, why!!!??? :x

still listening - geezer plays a blinder on this album. hes still my favourite bassist in metal

after getting it, i went back and listened to Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules, i don't have Dehumanizer.  i think the band sound at least as good now as they did then!  the only thing i'm not keen on is the long wide vibrato Dio has developed.  otherwise, it's great stuff.  i'll have to get Dehumanizer now too

[MrBump]

I recommend it - Dehumanizer is a brilliant album, was one of my faves before my car decided to eat it (car at the time was a Kylie fan, I think...)

No, I reckon the car was a Black Sabbath fan....   :P

My CD I had pre ordered dropped through the door  this morning.  Im now playing catch up and having a good listen.  Sounds pretty good so far!

i ordered Dehumanizer from Play for £3.99.  i'll let y'all know if i'm keeping it or trading it in for Kylie's greatest hits ;)
