디오의 목소리는 이 음반에서도 여전히 막강하다. 파워풀하고 힘찬 목소리와 카리스마. 그런데 어딘가 느껴지는 이 이질감과 뭔가 부족한듯한 느낌은 무엇일까, 강력한 기타리프는 좋은데 노래가 느릿느릿하고 계속 질질 끄는 느낌에 답답하기만 하다. 앨범 전체적으로 그런 아쉬운 부분이 골고루 퍼져있다. 그래서 그의 그 멋진 목소리를 귀를 집중해서 들을 만한 곡이 솔직히 말해서 음.. 없는것 같다. 구지 여기서 억지로 그 느낌을 찾느니 다른 디오의 노래들을 즐겨듣는것이 좋지 않을까, 아쉽지만 이 앨범은 좀... 아닌것 같다. ^^;

I think it's really underrated. It's not a masterpiece and it's not even better than the previous album, but it has its moments and in a way the album has always been interesting. The song material is at least consistent and it's a decent whole. The production is good and the heavy atmosphere fits surprisingly well. A good album.

Not a complete failure by any means, but after once a slightly weaker whole than before. There are some good songs, but in my opinion they are far too heavy, and the album is generally quite dark and a bit droopy. "Give Her The Gun" and the title song are great songs. The album also has the best solos of the band's career. But we're far from a masterclass and it's hard to identify the band that made the record as the one that made "Holy Diver".

Dio's Strange Highways is a heavy and languid, almost unnecessary sequel to Black Sabbath's Dehumanizer. Although the album does not convince as a whole, the song material is mostly of high quality and worth a try, especially for those who appreciated the atmosphere and sound of Dehumanizer.

급격히 떨어진 템포에 팬들의 평가 역시 뚝 떨어지고 말았습니다. 둠메탈을 연상케하는 느릿한 진행에 Dio 의 우렁찬 보이스는 전혀 어울리지 않습니다. 분명 Dio 의 존재감과 영향력, 실력은 확고하며 부동하나 매체, 매니아들에게 언급되는 히트넘버와 명반, 숫자만으로 단순비교 했을때 '밴드' Dio 가 불리한것은 그저 불운이나 우연이 아니란걸 빈번히 느낍니다.

나는 이 앨범이 왜 이리 욕을 먹는지 모르겠다. 물론 단점이 조금 눈에띄긴 하지만 그렇다고 이렇게까지 별점테러를 당할 앨범은 아닌데..

Probably Dio's worst album at the time, but it's still pretty good. Give Her the Gun is a fantastic track.

Black Sabbath 때의 Dehumanizer의 속편이라 생각하면 된다. 분노, 칙칙함, 인간의 극단적인 감정을 최대치로 풀어냈다.후에 Angry Machine 보다는 휠씬 낫다.
