VINNY APPICE Reflects On Passing Of RAINBOW / DIO Bassist JIMMY BAIN - "I Wanted To Make Sure There Wasn't Any Funny Stuff In The Room Before The Authorities Got There"

The rest of the LP is an instance of traditional metal bracing itself against the rising tide of hair and speed. "Stand Up and Shout" is a mere knob twist away from thrash, albeit suffering a tad, like much of the album, from Dio's self-production that could use more fire in the bottom end.
