Album Description
Deluxe 5-CD slipcase boxed set collects Black Sabbath's complete Dio-fronted catalog: Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules, Live Evil (2 CDs), and Dehumanizer. Each title was recently remastered for the first time ever and features extensive liner notes including new band interviews. Heaven And Hell (1980) is regarded as one of Sabbath's all-time best with its anthem tracks 'Neon Knights', 'Die Young' and the epic title track. Mob Rule's ('81) was the first Sabbath LP to feature Appice on drums (replacing Bill Ward), delivering high octane classics like 'Falling Off The Edge Of The World', 'Turn Up The Night' and 'The Sign Of The Southern Cross'. Live Evil, the group's 1982 double-live set, is an in-concert masterpiece and a testament to the raw power of Sabbath's Dio, Iommi, Butler, and Appice lineup on fourteen epic tracks. Dehumanizer ('92).

 The Dio Years September 25, 2008

This is all of the Dio Sabbath albums in one set. You either like it or you don't. The remixing isn't the issue for me - just having all of ths albums in one nice neat little set is what I like.
 The Rules of Dio September 10, 2008

The first thing I noticed with this box set was that the albums were packed in jewel cases rather than digipaks the way that the Black Box was. This causes an ugly look and feel presentation wise if you take all the remasters out of their respective boxes and line them up. However, all the CD's have the same all black tops on them that the Black Box did so there was some attempt at continuity here.
The first thing I noticed with the albums when I listened to them was that Heaven and Hell was the most obvious of the remasters as Bill Ward's drums and Geezer Butler's bass are so up front that it hurts (in a good way). Mob Rules has finally gotten past the muddy sound that has been a major hindrance to this album in the past. The sound is clear and crisp and much better than the 1996 Castle Remasters.
Dehumanizer is the least obvious of the remasters unless you go back and listen to the original Reprise release. Then, and only then, does it become obvious that the album was remastered at all.
Then there's Live Evil.
The sound overall on Live Evil is better than the original Warner release but it's Live Evil (which is nothing special to begin with). If you have the limited edition Hammersmith Odeon CD from last year than you really don't need Live Evil (unless you have a raging hard on for the two minute version of Sign of the Southern Cross on Live Evil).
Overall it's a good buy and the first two CD's are mixed much better than the 1996 Castle Remasters.
THe Heaven and Hell remaster is worth it September 1, 2008
The Heaven And Hell CD remaster is very good. Bill Ward's drums were buried in the original, but here they are sounding great. Geezer's bass lines, although present on the original, are sounding much better on this release. It was nice to have the other releases on something other than record or tape, but I really couldn't say that they were as much of an improvement as Heaven and Hell.
An Improvement Over the earlier versions on CD August 29, 2008
I finally got my copy of Black Sabbath's The Rules Of Hell Box Set, the Dio Era Albums remastered, and I must say I was impressed. The sound quality was quite better than the copies I currently own. The Mob Rules sounded much cleaner and not so low sounding, even Live Evil sounded better, its not perfect,but it did sound much better than before especially on N.I.B, my other copy sounded muffed and almost unable to listen to. This new remaster sounded better than before, in some parts it sounds a bit low but it doesn't take away from enjoying the sound of a rare early Dio era Sabbath show. Heaven & Hell was totally mind blowing, it sounded so crisp and powerful it felt like I was listening it for the 1st time back in 1980. Not much of a change for Dehumanizer,but it does sound like the bass is deeper and more powerful than before. The liner notes were nicely done, its too bad there was no lyrics included,but the photos,artwork and the stories behind the making of the albums were worth the viewing. I recommend this box set to any Sabbath/Dio fan I feel they will enjoy this set.
Awesome set! August 29, 2008
A Collection of Sabbath's best albums, in their remastered glory! The best of the best in metal is all right here, this set is all you need.
