    Great album! Bought the cd in 1992. Hard to pick a favourite. Maybe 'TV CRIMES'.

    I bought Dehumanizer a few weeks after it was released. I had seen the video for "TV Crimes" so I was looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. I wasn't disappointed. Dehumanizer was one of my go to discs that summer and into the fall. I don't play it as often as I did in my early 20s but it's holds up quite well when I do get the urge to hear it.

    Absolutely love this one. In my top 3 Sabbath albums for sure. I really wish it would get a vinyl reissue, all previous pressings are well out of my price range!

    Cracker album - like all the Dio fronted Sabbath ones are (including the incorrectly badged The Devil You Know).

    Fave tune could be the heavy album closer 'Buried Alive'

    While my least favorite of the three Dio-fronted albums, it’s still an awesome album that once again shows why Dio is ranked above all other replacement singers.

    Bought it release day on cd. Love it, Dio saw the future in 1991--1992 with Computer God.
    Solid Dio Sabbath album.

    Although I prefer Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules, I really do love Dehumanizer. I is my favorite song on the album.

    Dehumanizer has grown on me quite a bit over the years. I never thought much of the album when it was released at the time as I found it a bit slow going compared to Heaven & Hell and The Mob Rules. It didn't have the NWOBHM feel of those records and it was more modern-early 90s sounding-to my ears. But I now think it's a very solid album-at times even great.

    Maybe someday The Devil You Know will grow on me as well, but that hasn't happened for me yet.

    The Devil You Know had some good songs (Follow the Tears, Bible Black), but the sameness of the tempos hurt the album overall, I think.

    I love it and feel it is right up there with the first two Dio fronted Sabbath releases. I also feel if it was released a year or so after The Mob Rules it would be regarded much differently.

    There’s also a great FM broadcast from the Boston 1992 show

    I'm a big fan of Sabbath, particularly the first two Dio-fronted albums. But I have to say that I don't really love Dehumanizer. It is not nearly as good as Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules (but, in fairness, few albums -- by anyone -- are THAT good). It reflects the plodding, slower style that Dio band adopted after the Dream Evil album. I rarely return to it when I want my Dio/Sabbath fix. That said, the song "I" is outstanding.
