No, I agree they'll almost certainly never top AFD, but then, what validity does that point even have? Imagine if Ronnie James Dio thoughrt "meh, I'll never top Stargazer" and just gave up. Then we wouldn't have had classics like Heaven & Hell and Holy Diver and an amazing back catalogue of fan favourites. Saying "meh, we'll never top x" is just a lazy excuse not to bother trying. CD wasn't as good as AFD, but I'm still glad they made it and got a lot of enjoyment from it.
