| I have loved this album since it came out in 1978, and haven't stopped listening to it. For me, this is essential Rainbow. It's hard to beat the Blackmore/Dio combination. This is a must for any serious heavy metal/hard rock fan. This album rates in my top 5 of all time. This album is what heavy metal/hard rock is all about. "Kill The King", "Gates Of Babylon", "Long Live Rock-n-Roll" and "Rainbow Eyes" are essential listening for any metal fan.

| Well, I just want to say that "Gates of Babylon" is in my humble opinion one of the best metal songs there is .... it doesn't get better than this album ... and Dio's voice !!!

| This is a classic. Rainbow peaked here. Nothing but good tracks. Dio is outstanding, and so is Blackmore.

| Rainbow's best album. Rocks hard start to finish, not a bad song on it. "The Shed" remains one of my favorite hard rock songs. My only complaint is Dio singing about "sweet Hell" in the fantastic song "Gates of Babylon". Words have meanings and the thought of "Hell" ain't sweet!!!

| This album was so ahead of its time. If I didn't know it came out in '78, I would've sworn it was from the mid 80's. "Kill the King" can easily be considered early thrash metal, but the album reflects so many different moods. From the sing along chorus of the title track to the gentle ballad "Rainbow Eyes" the songs are all outstanding. Was recently remastered so it sounds even better than before.

| A great album too,but its not so good as the previous one.it has a more commercial feeling.although the most songs are great like "kill the king","gates of babylon","the shed","long live rock and roll"

Como este album puede tener de puntuación 6.42? Creo que aquí hay mucho hereje que no tiene ni idea. Ritchie Blackmore está a años luz de cualquier otro rasgacuerdas, Ronnie James Dio canta de forma magistral y Cozy Powell (te recordamos) golpea sin piedad. Que suba esa media de puntuación ¡¡¡YA!!!

| I think this is the best rainbow album. This album sounds more to the point than Rising. If you like heavy metal you must have this one

| Where is the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow? Man on the silver mountain - Catch the rainbow - The temple of the king - Sixteen century greensleeves - Still I'm sad. IT'S a cd full of classics. Es una verguenza que no esté en la lista.

| my kind of music bewitching power metal, with the obvious deep purple drive behind the ever awesome DIO. by the way many bands have followed this same formula, does IRON MAIDEN ring a bell. UP THE IRONS MATE.

| This is probably the best Rainbow record ever (or it is Rising). So many good tunes and Ronnie James Dio´s outstanding vocals. I took a print from cover of LP and put it on the frames and on the wall!

| Another great album by the band, they come up with their best rockers here in the title track and "Kill The King". They also continue their strong epic tracks with "Gates Of Babylon" and "Rainbow Eyes". Another essential piece of metal history. 10/10

| This one can be easily as influential and breathtaking as van halen 1. Its almost as good and heavy and maybe a bit ahead of time than van halen 1. Wonder why it isn't as popular and recognizable?van halen 1 did got the tag as the album that change the face of heavy metal or whatever but what about this one??????

| When it comes to extreme musicians of the times, this album holds it all inside. Every song a classic in its' own right. Some may come and some may go, but this one deserves to be on every shelf in America. 10/10.

| Another one British hard rock masterpiece.Just look at the line-up of the band and you'll understand.How can you go wrong with Ritchie,Dio and Cozy(R.I.P.) in the same band?Only one step away from the mighty "Rainbow's rising",9,5 out of 10.

| Que no han dicho todos los amigos aquí que no se haya dich?.. Otra gema del HardRock de antaño que perdurará por siempre. Pues nada, Incomparable, sus tres discos con DIO son obras de arte. Alejandro lo dijo mas explayadamente asi que concuerdo con lo dicho plenamente. Saludos. 10/10

| The last Rainbow Album featuring Ronnie James Dio and they still cooked. Awesome! Aside from being in Rainbow,Dio had a Passion for Rainbows and every album he ever did had at least one mention of a rainbow. Rest in peace R.J.D. Long live Rock and Roll.
