From the beginning he takes listeners down a familiar route with "Killing the Dragon," which begins with a sinister intro and quickly kicks in with a classic metal guitar riff - formulaic yes, but definitely rocking. The song's subject is the computer ("small gods with electrical hearts"), referred to as the dragon, and how it is now "time to be killing the dragon again. Dio's voice is in fine form, as is the musicianship of his current lineup, including the latest addition of Doug Aldrich on guitar, who successfully captures the classic Dio sound

Album Name Killing the Dragon. Дата релиза 20 Май 2002. Re-Issue in 2007 by Snapper Music and Eagle Rock as a double CD with "Magica" under the title "Magica and Killing the Dragon". 1. Killing the Dragon. 2. Along Comes a Spider. 4. Better in the Dark. 8. Throw Away the Children. 11. Fever Dreams (Live with Deep Purple). 12. Rainbow in the Dark (Live with Deep Purple).

Killing The Dragon is overall probably Dio’s worst album to date and certainly not even close to a comeback album. Best songs are Killing The Dragon, Along Comes A Spider, and Push. I only recommend this release to diehard fans of Dio otherwise please stay away for your own good. 10 points many uninspired performances -10 points album length and song lengths are too long -5 points a large portion of Killing The Dragon is full of filler -5 points Dio’s vocal performance is far from his early material -3 points loss of direction on Killing The Dragon. The dragon has been slain, indeed.
