"Master Of The Moon" is the new album of our good old Ronnie. One time again, the Voice of Heavy Metal is back with a new release, and if the last one "Killing The Dragon" wasn't the best one of his long career, I must admit that "Master Of The Moon" is a good surprise. The good thing is that I have the feeling that for this one, Dio and his band mates, tried to do something maybe more in the spirit of their old albums. And this is a success, a lot of the tracks really sound Hard Rock, certainly more than the Epic and Fantasy songs that we heard before. Of course this spirit is always present in this new album, but for sure it's certainly more Rock "n" Roll…

Always intended to check this one out as Doc Godin always goes nuts about it, but somehow always put it off because I didn't really like Heaven And Hell [the band (just the music, nothing about the ozzy dio thing)] Can't believe I'm finally doing so when Dio's not with us any more. Great singer and album indeed

I've always held this album high in my affections. I think its a great (if flawed) album, and is a good swansong for Dio. Its patchy to be sure, but you could say that about the vast majority of Dio's albums. Songs like ''Shivers'', ''The Man Who Would Be King'', and ''One More For The Road'' though, are truly awesome, and are amongst the best songs Dio has ever done. The title track, ''I Am'', and ''Death By Love'' are also great songs, and I love them a lot! Definitely an overlooked album, and one of the Dio albums I listen to the most. RIP Ronnie, the master!

The only Dio album that I am still missing.

Got it now. Seems very similar to Magica. Still not up there with the 80s stuff, but anything with his voice on is worth listening to. Best tracks One More For The Road and Master Of The Moon. Seems a bit more stripped out than his other stuff, limited keys.

The Prisoner of Paradise is an awesome track. They should have included this one as part of the album in the whole world

Couldn't agree more, it's an amazing song! No way should it have been relegated to a bonus track...
It also perfect as the final track on the album, which should have been it's placement all along. I'm so glad I now have the album with that song on it, and it's prescence adds a full extra point to my rating.

His best album since the 80's, no doubt about that.
