sabbath with dio (and ian gillan for that matter) are just different and not that quite unique as the first 6 sabbath albums, i can certainly picture the band with dio at the band's a&r office while the guy plays them all the priest, maiden, diamond head, ufo, etc. albums from the era telling them "you're sabbath! you can't be left behind!" but that doesn't mean they were bad, just not that groundbreaking or defining as they were in their prime.
by the way, rainbow fucking rules! best dio band ever.
and also, ozzy's career ended after diary of a madman; besides a few songs later on, his stuff is just not as good as his first two solo albums.
