In fact, all the ingredients which had made their first outing, Heaven and Hell, so successful are re-utilized on this album, including legendary metal producer Martin Birch (Deep Purple, Whitesnake, etc.) and supporting keyboard player Geoff Nichols. And while it lacks some of its predecessor's inspired songwriting, Mob Rules was given a much punchier, in your face mix by Birch, who seemed re-energized after his recent work on New Wave of British Heavy Metal upstarts Iron Maiden's Killers album. Essentially, Mob Rules is a magnificent record, with the only serious problem being the sequencing of the material, which mirrors Heaven and Hell's almost to a tee. In that light, one can't help but compare otherwise compelling tracks like "Turn Up the Night" and "Voodoo" to their more impressive Heaven and Hell counterparts, "Neon Knights" and "Children of the Sea." This unhappy streak is finally snapped by the unconventional "E5150," a synthesizer-driven instrumental. Then, the unbelievably heavy, seven-minute epic "The Sign of the Southern Cross" delivers one of the album's best moments before unleashing the roaring title track. Side two is less consistent, hiding the awesome "Falling off the Edge of the World" (perhaps the most overlooked secret gem to come from the Dio lineup) amongst rather average tracks like "Slipping Away" and "Over and Over." Over the next year, the shit would hit the fan for Black Sabbath, and Dio's exit would mark Mob Rules as the last widely respected studio release of the band's storied career. - Ed █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀█ ▓ [ track listing ] ▓ ░ trk title time ░ 01 Turn Up The Night 3:40 02 Voodoo 4:31 03 The Sign Of The Southern Cross 7:49 04 E5150 2:51 05 The Mob Rules 3:10 06 Country Girl 4:01 07 Slipping Away 3:44 08 Falling Off The Edge Of The World 5:03 09 Over And Over 5:27 █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀█ ▓ [ about us ] ▓ ▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒ ░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░ purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to- ░ find album, that release you could never find the ░ scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at proper quality standards so you can decide whether you really want to buy them or not; all without asking for anything in return. Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With this thought at heart, all members have an equal say in all group decisions and are welcome in all group channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values all good groups should share. We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell providers.
