Dehumanizer is rare listenable album from Black Sabbath from 90-s. Dio (great Dio - I love him, not because of his elves or dragons, but because he's a greatest heavy metal voice ever).

Iommy and Butler both are here and Vinnie Appice on drums isn't bad decision. Geoff Nichols on keyboards is addition under pressing of time. So, not fully classic, but strong line- up with Dio on vocals.

The music of this album isn't excellent, but is very strong and only Headless Cross is another still strong studio album starting from 1982. Yummy is in perfect form, all music is heavy, doom and almost on the level of their early 80-s. Yes, it is not another masterpiece of Heaven and Hell, but in fact is better than Mob Rules.

In comperence with previous BS albums with Dio, sound is colder, darker, less melodic. For me this album sounds as strong Dio solo work of that time. Just one song ("Sins Of The Father") musically sounds as Ozzy's song from his solo album!

Don't expect to find too much inventions there. Slightly modified under time requirements, BS just play what they know best.

One of the strongest post-1982 Black Sabbath release. Very recommended for band fans as well as for Dio fans.
