    Rating:
    Third coming from Rainbow (except for the live album), this time more of the old Black Sabbath/Dio-type of heavy metal rather than the blues stuff that dominated the first album. Some really awesome songs here like "Long live rock'n'roll", "Gates of Babylon", "Kill the king" and the ballad "Rainbow eyes". Have you not heard these songs before, then I suggest you go out to the nearest cd store and make a purchase you'll never regret.
    They don't have this stuff? Well then put a gun under the shop assistant's nose and order him to take it home right now, cause... this stuff has "gotta have" status.
