Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
When Heavy Metal Version 1.0 (Megadeth, Judas Priest, etc) died out in the late 1980s, to be replaced by Heavy Metal Version 2.0 (Korn, Slipknot) in the 1990s, few expected to ever hear from Ronnie James Dio again. Yet, he and his band soldiered on, and Magica--released in 2000--shows them defiantly sticking to their guns. Not a funk-metal hybrid, and with nary a pair of baggy shorts to be seen, Dio's Magica is all big-hair, big guitars and leather trousers: old-skool metal (if such a thing exists). A concept album about the "Book Of Magica", this is good-and-evil, swords-and-sorcery stuff, the musical equivalent of a game of Dungeons & Dragons--and likely to share the same fans. With its guitar solos, stadium anthems and lyrics about wizards and demons, Magica has arrived about a decade too late for the party, but seems determined to have a good time regardless. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical feeling, 17 Mar 2004
I never knew of Dio till I heard this album. Ronnies voice sounded to me like a mix of Freddie Mercury and Ozzy. I thought I was dealing with a young star of metal, simply because of the energy he puts into his songs, but no. This is the old master teaching all of us how it is done. On track 8 his voice carries a great part of the song almost alone, and off course he masters his voice perfectly on every track. The album is a theme-album, build upon a magical world of good and evil, with wizards and sorcery. The last 18 minutes is a tale of good vs evil, and all the tracks are related to this story, often a bad idea, but here it just work so well. The songs take you to this medieval world, for example track 9 starts with a medieval sounding guitar riff accompanied by a flute, before it bursts into heavy metal. If you buy the enhanced Japanese version you will get a beautiful instrumental track, which is basically one long guitar solo.

Warning: In my oppinion the style of this album is different from old Dio material, so don't expect just another Dio album.
(I just happen to like this the most)

5.0 out of 5 stars A SOARING METAL MASTERPIECE, 25 May 2002
By A Customer
Unlike most people i would say that Dio's lat album (Angry Machines) was a very fine album, but like most people I would say that this Dio album is the true masterpiece. Even without the storyline about the book of Magica this album would still have the epic fell of a concept album. Cleverly thought out lyrics and crunching guitar fiffs complimented perfectly with soaring keyboards and plenty of big metal solos all come together to make one hell of an album.
