REVIEW**
Lock Up the Wolves is the one Dio album I have that I always seem to forget about. It followed Dio's zenith 1987 masterpiece Dream Evil and came out on the cusp of the 1990s where metal (including Dio) unfortunately suffered a decline in popularity and quality. I listen to it off and on when I think about cleaning out my music collection, and always end up keeping it. Recently, I gave it a spin again and realized why I kept it for so long. This album is solid. There are tracks on here that blow me away. One of them is "Hey Angel." It is an amazing track! One of Dio's best! It is slow but with strong emotion. Very powerful! "Between Two Hearts" is also very nice with a slow intro and beautiful guitar. I also like the guitar in "Night Music." Speaking of guitar, the lead guitarist here (Rowan Robertson) was only 18 at the time! Another highlight is "Born on the Sun." The title track is pounding! The single from this album was "Wild One" which really rocks out. It is not one of Dio's best, but it kicks. Lock Up the Wolves is no Holy Diver or Dream Evil, but it is a solid metal album in its own right and is very underrated. It is also the first Dio album with 10 instead of 9 tracks and this CD even offers an 11th track that I don't have: "Why are They Watching Me." You get your money's worth here! BTW: If you want to hear an amazing metal album from the 1990s Metal "dark ages," check out Dio's brief return to Black Sabbath on the CD Dehumanizer. It is awesome!
