Negative Positive
Title: Excellent.
Review: This is the very beginning of Rainbow. Dio's singing has never been better. This proves that he had a soft side. He's not from hell. Ritchie Blackmore's playing is at his best. There's still a little leftover funk from Deep Purple, but there are some rare gems. Temple of the King, for instance. A very nice ballad. I love the instrumental from the Yardbirds. Classic. The only problem is that their isn't any long jams like on the 2nd album. Plus, some of the songs ramble on for a while. Catch the Rainbow should've ended around 4 and a half minutes, but instead, it's 6. Still, I can hear the power metal in the album. Nice playing from the keyboardist. I forgot his name. Very good debut.
