Strange Highways

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Lead Performance: Dio; Genre: Metal

Dio Strange Highways (Reprise) Like Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio sang for Black Sabbath, and both men continue to milk Sabbath's formula-gloom-and-doom lyrics and heavy playing-for fun and profit. Strange Highways is full of ominous songs with titles like ''One Foot in the Grave'' and ''Evilution.'' If you can keep a straight face throughout the whole thing, you might want to raise this grade a notch. B- -TS
