Editorial Review:

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).

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Black Sabbath - phase two.
I'm glad Warner/Rhino is continuing what they did in 2004 with the Black Box. Here's hoping they don't stop here and go all the way with the Gillan/Hughes/Martin era stuff next. If not, at least scrap up the old masters and get those elusive albums back into print!

I admit that I'm more an Ozzy fan than a Dio fan. Dio had the voice, but the band were simply at their songwriting peak with Ozzy (who went on to prove a thing or two of his own when he went solo). But that doesn't mean this ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Dio Years
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Rules of Dio
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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THe Heaven and Hell remaster is worth it
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Improvement Over the earlier versions on CD
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 ... Read More
