Deep Purple In Rock

crazy organs, I’ve never heard sounds like that. Very Jack Black / School of Rock, face melting stuff. Kinda like it but not a whole albums worth. Thought they were American before learning they were 1/3 of the ‘holy trinity’ of British hard rock/ metal music pioneers with Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath. Guitar skills are mad.

I didn't hate it, which is a pleasant surprise in itself

i kept saying maybe? but no not really could i write poetry to this? n

Unfortunately not my favorite! Fear the age of the album shows and don’t love the singer. Cool rock tunes but nothing more to me.

Decent old school hard rock just not for me

Kind of psychedelic rock. Not really my thing

STANDOUTS: nope OVERALL: 1.5/5

Better as it went. Definitely good musicianship, music is cool but it is also clear why Zeppelin, Sabbath get all the acclaim. Overall- meh.

How to frighten the horses: a cut-out-and-keep guide.

Boring again. 2.1 from fatigue

I think I always knew that deep purple utilised the organ…but not this much.

Dios sálvame del prog rock

Ok but I’ve heard it before even though I haven’t heard it before

More blues/jam inspired than I expected, still reductive - doesn't do anything better than Zepplin II even

Some albums are timeless, some are of their time. Unfortunately, I think if there was a time for me to get into this, it was 50 years ago. Interesting to hear the beginnings of metal. But Christ, there's even a drum solo. 2.5 🌟

Cardinal sin of being boring idk. I wasn’t offended I guess. Just bored, gomen.

Good hard rock band out of the 70’s. Some classic songs.

I find it charming that a bunch of hard rock guys (Lemmy, Deep Purple apparently) just adored Little Richard. Mt Rushmore is one of the dumbest things ever. 5 guys on a rock Mt Rushmore on a first album is very funny. A bit too much like a Led Zeppelin with more keyboards. hated. (⌐■_■)

Never really been grabbed by Deep Purple, now I take the time to listen not much has changed. Driving but directionless fast hard rock. Shrieking. Not going to listen again.

Oh dear. Dear me, no. It's my problem, not theirs, but I kept expecting them to break into Stonehenge or Big Bottoms and I couldn't take it seriously.

First track seems to be several different songs fused together. Verses have nothing to do with the chorus and are mashed-up lyrics from rock & roll classics. Don't mind the singing, hate the prog guitar noodling and the tappy cymbals. Very little light and shade. Is this Ian Gillan? It is. He can sing a lot better than this. Track two is whiney/shrieky and a bit monotonous. Don't think I can listen to all of this.

I imagine this is was Tool of its era with significantly more stoned fan base.

Not even the best Deep Purple album let alone generally

Hate when something so influential to hard rock sounds like dog ass.

I think the impact of this album has been lost over the last fifty years. So many bands were influenced by it that we can no longer feel the original impact. That said, there is fat on the album that was common with studio indulgence at the time. But if I were asked to describe early 70s FM album oriented rock.... This album is a great place to start.

Listened to a few tracks at work too heavy

Enjoyed this more than the Metallica album, but still not really my cup of tea

This album rates as a 2 or D- for me. There are several Deep Purple songs I like but there are none of those here.

pass. smoke on the water or bust for me

When a band as old as Deep Purple has an album on this list without their main radio songs, I may have over hyped myself before starting it. I've always heard DP as being one of "your favorite bands favorite bands" kind of thing, and I'm fan of prog rock, what could go wrong? I'm not sure what went wrong exactly, but it sounded kind of a mess. Often I'll say keys are a common missing ingredient for classic rock that doesn't hit the spot, but this had keys. Some songs reminded me of ELP in a way that has prompted me to dub it Carnival Rock, which ends up being a negative. A lot of musical flair with any reason other than to be flashy, and I wasn't in a circus mood today I guess. There were some good qualities, particularly in "Child in Time" but over 10 minutes left too much time for nonsense. Favorite track: (parts of) "Child in Time" 2/5

Tulen harmittavaan lopputulokseen: ei toimi. Minäkin kaipaan musiikkiin enemmän romantiikkaa kuin pelkällä riffittelyllä ja kiljunnalla on mahdollista saada aikaan. Tosin Child in Timen vastustamaton meemiarvo takaa 2 pistettä.

The birth of butt rock? Not for me.

I'm a big fan of songs that have intros and nontraditional structures as it reminds of development techniques used in classical music. Even in the context of rock instruments, not knowing what will come next keeps me engaged. That's something I do enjoy, but this style of punkish forwardness really isn't my favorite. Just personal preference.

Never enjoyed Deep Purple all the much.

Very Deep Purple

I can appreciate the technical proficiency of Deep Purple but I sort of prefer the odd live version for the skills to really shine through. Other than that it's all a bit much undeniably talented just not my thing.

It was nothing remarkable at all to me

An example of a solid 70's rock album. Drums and guitar were incredible, but I wish the vocals kept up with the production value. I don't think I'll ever be a huge fan of most 70's and 80's rock albums.

You can tell these are very talented musicians. That being said, they lack when it comes to songwriting. There was nothing engaging about these songs. It seemed like the songs were a vehicle to show off how good they are at solos.

Stolen from my pintage post: Never have I been so conflicted by an album in my life - equal part pretentious prog rock of the worst kind and deep driving organ and guitar riffing which had me toe tapping like there was no tomorrow.

I didn’t really like this.

I enjoyed parts of songs. The parts I liked were usually Richie Blackmore guitar sections.

Fuck off with the Brit Rock. It's like this list is 90% BritRock

Not a fan. Before my time.

I found this really hard to finish.

Some decent guitar solos but not so great songs

Early 70's rock. Not my jam at all.

Not a fan of jam bands or being yelled at. They do "rock out" though in between droning. It's probably better to be high.

Pre album thoughts - ugh I am really not looking forward to more classic rock. This could be a problem for me to get through the rest of this list. Child in time - really impressive guitar skills It’s not really my kind of music, but it’s creative and I see why people would be really into this.

The first two songs are typical 70s tripe. Child in Time is nice. Back into 70s tripe on track 4. There was an extreme penchant in the 70s to think people wanted to listen to albums full of nonsensical instrumentals. No one cares about your self-indulgent interludes. Please make your songs shorter. To top it all off, the album ends in... whatever that was. A star for Child in Time, but really, that's the only thing worth listening to.

Could only listen to a few songs but there was a killer 10 minute track on there.

Child in time is a masterpiece but after that the album is going down fast. And the last song was horrible..

Awwm K..amok.m9 M ,Er

it's a No from me-too many wailing "aaaah-ha's", not a fan of metal genre, and a 10 minute long track

Not my type of rock

I think I like the songs. I can get over the muddy production, breakneck transitions that don't feel natural, and endless soloing, but I really can't stand the vocals. They completely ruin it for me.

How much purple can you get? The answer is none. None more purple

Utter lyrical garbage. This is incoherent nonsense. Probably the most 70s of the 70s rock I've ever heard. This feels like it's where ridiculous falsetto wailing began and it should have died here.

Not for me

He's guys certainly can shred and drum but how about song writing??

Screaming and headbanging

É um bom álbum, mas não é muito minha vibe

There’s a reason you’ve heard the “Smoke on the Water” riff played in every guitar shop you’ve ever been in—it’s primitive and there’s not much else to it. Such is the music of Deep Purple. Their music hasn’t faired well outside of the ‘70s; they never ended up with the broad, visionary appeal of a group like Zeppelin, and this record is evidence of that. Nobody rushes home, eager to blast “Deep Purple in Rock,” hoping to transform their cares and worries into ecstasy through air guitar (or air organ?) antics. It may sound like Rock n Roll sacrilege, but there’s too much of everything on this record—the excess kills the vibe. And there’s not nearly enough of the basics. Overblown guitar and organ workouts without memorable riffs or singable choruses dominant.

4.5/10 Second DP album, liked this more than the last But this was another hard rock 70s album in a list that seems stacked with them Competent but boring Best: Speed King

Very silly, but I have a soft spot for Deep Purple ever since The Fall covered Black Night.

I mean this is what I think if when I think of classic rock. It's the epitome of the most generic classic rock sound I could even imagine.

p205. 1970. 2.5 stars. So! This is the genesis of all those 70s heavy metal bands! Well of its kinds but suffers from ridiculous lyrics and excessive early 70s wankage. Nobody needs multiple tracks >7 minutes long, regardless of how well or fast you can play.

Meh

Were there even any lyrics in "Child in Time" it was a lot of screaming and finishes with what seems like it might be a screamgasm.

Probably not.

Not my vibe but appreciated all the instrumental work

Heavy with some great songs and some that almost hurts to listen to. This mix could work out to be a great album but it does not do it for me personally. Hit: Into the fire Miss: typ resten lol

Good for people in the 70s looking to hang while taking drugs. There are catchy bits, but they are overshadowed by long music intervals that, while technically impressive, bore me and kill my desire to listen more. Lead singer has a great voice and when there are hooks, it’s bangin’. Unfortunately, I just don’t think this is my kind of music.

I'm actually not able to stream this album. Deep Purple is a hole in my music knowledge, particularly for this early rock period.

Was just okay. I am a big fan of many rock bands from this era, many inspired from what my Dad listened to. Deep Purple was never one I heard and now I understand why.

Wasn’t great, other bands around the time or slightly later are much more my taste

Not really my vibe

This one's not for me. I enjoy some deep purple songs but overall I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again

Good early 70s metal. Respect what they did. Not my thing. 2.75

Viel Rock, wenig Melodie

Okay

Didn’t complete it.

its rock but child in time is insane

There was nothing in particular that stood out to me about this album.

70s rock that does not seem to have much to offer in 2023, for me.

This is Spinal Tap...but without the funny bits.

There are good things about this record. The vocal performance and the stands of classical that Lord and Blackmore bring is compelling. It's just so bloody 'rock' though. And so English. There's no swagger or sex. It makes you realise how funky and American Led Zeppelin were.

I do indeed love all the guitar here. It's an embarrassment of guitars, which would be a great Deep Purple album title. Is there much that's memorable? Not a ton, no. Nothing that gives me that Smoke on the Water vibe. But when they launch into the numerous guitar solos herein, I have fun with it.

Turgid.

2.4 - thought child in time was great, love a good guitar solo. Felt it just nose dived and stressed me out

Not for me.

My music player was malfunctioning and I was generally annoyed that I had to listen to the first half of Child in Time three times. The guitar work was fine, but even then, any of the songs that were longer than 5 minutes I found myself looking at the time remaining bar seeing when the song would end.

Boring, noodly 70s rock.

Nothing special

Please something different than rock

Clearly influential on future bands but the songs are largely forgettable.

1.8/5 - in 1970 this might have blown my mind, in 2023 i found it quite boring Update - went back to listen to Hush and Highway Star after listening to this album, those songs hold up so well in comparison. Strange to me that this album is on the list, generic nothing rock

it sounds just like every other 70s rock band, idk, nothing super special to me. Too much weird screaming and guitar riffs for me. 2

Classic rock album, very deep album. Not really my thing but definitely relevant to the time and genre.

Not really sure how song rights work for streaming services, but Spotify only has the rights to 2 tracks on this album (in Canada)… That said, I do like the more popular Deep Purple songs, these aren’t them. I consider it pretentious when the lead singer (who does have a great voice) screams and moans more often than deliver lyrics in a 10 minute song. The other song is 7 minutes in length. Hmmmm…. The musicality is fine, if not great (guitars and keyboards rejoice!) but I will not be listening to this one again. High 2

Spotify doesn't have the whole album so maybe this isn't fair but it's good for what it is I guess. The screaming on one track was a bit much....

Nothing says metal wire like a bitchen Hammond organ solo...

Not for me really. Find it just a bit too cheesy. Overly long and pointless keyboard solos and maniac wailing just isn’t my bag. Music to gallop on a horse to maybe.

The cover is funny, i like the concept of mount rushmore with the faces of the band members. Its their fourth studio album and their most hard so far, ish heavy metal, the kind of music that would make them legendary in the same categorie as Black Sabbath and Leds Zep. Speed king is a good riff and it have a good organ solo Ian Gilligan vocals are impressive on bloodsucker With only 7 songs the album lengt is like 45 minutes, so the songs are very long, and a lot of them like flight of the rat or child in time are repetitive. Hard lovin' man is one of the fastest and more "heavy" on the album With all that said, i have to say that i'm a big fan of Machine Head their best album and the most sucessfull and i really think this album, nevertheless good, is a bit of a lesser good version, a rehearsla for Machine Head. The best riff here are not in the same league as Smoke on the water, the best solos does not come close to Highway star ect. So yeah not bad but not as good as we know they are

Only 2 songs available on Spotify

This album should not be in the top 1001 albums.

It doesn’t include their biggest hit, but it is a very cool statement from a classic band from the hard rock era.

I understand why people would like it, but to me it's just an attempt to be cool, instrumentals are cool and drums are nice, it just lacks the idea of tension and release imo

on the one hand, pretty innovative and impressive for 1970. on the other hand, I'd pay good money to never hear ian gillan sing again

What you’d expect really. Some decent melodies, but some nonsense too.

gets an extra star for Jesus on vocals otherwise ugh bloated and boring

One of the hardest working bands in history, Deep Purple still just doesn't do it for me.

There is some INTENSE guitar sounds on this album for 1970! Other than that I found it to be pretty repetitive.

Good but a bit too samey as the album goes on. 2.5

Some ok moments here, for the most part it's pretty much just generic 70s hard rock though. Not for me.

Spotify only had two songs available for me to hear. Neither one made me feel this album should be on the list. However, I always liked the band name so....

I'm not a big fan of metal and this album does nothing to change that opinion. I can handle loud, prolonged guitar riffs but they start getting gratuitous and excessive when 80% of the album is loud guitar solos that sound way too similar to each other.

Langweiliges, generisches Hardrock-Geknatter. Das Songwriting bei Deep Purple ist bestenfalls mittelmäßig. Ich ziehe die im gleichen Jahr (etwas später) erschienene Paranoid von Black Sabbath tausendmal vor.

This has been on my “albums to listen to” list so I’m excited to see it here! After listening, there was really nothing that stood out to me as special. Sounded like I was just listening to 70s rock radio. I was actually a little disappointed! Listen again: probably not Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song:

Bit meh but I enjoyed it

Understand why this is on the list, godfathers of metal and all, but this isn't great. The needless screaming on every track really put it over the edge.

Pretty basic rock album it got a bit boring as i got deeper

Not the one I like the most

I'm sure it sounded better in the 70's!

For a hot second this was a 3 because I really like Child in Time but unfortunately everything else is a massive bore

I just can’t get behind this style of butt rock.

Feels underwhelming when compared to their other stuff

Not really my cup of tea, but not bad.

Alright just annoying synth

I guess you had to be there at the time. Through modern ears it's just too generic to give a shit about.

So over the top that I have to dismiss it. Too much banshee screaming. Never been a fan and this listen confirms my aversion to Deep Purple and the like

Meh

Meh.

Inte min typ av musik märkte jag.

I like a few Deep Purple songs but I wasn’t familiar with any of these songs. Was excited to see what this was going to be like. Then the songs started……… Every time I think I’m about to like one of these songs, they do something to screw it up. I don’t like any of the leads. If the singer is singing, it’s annoying. If there was an organ solo, it was annoying. If there was a drum solo it’s annoying. The guitar solos were annoying. It was just all annoying. Some of the songs weren’t bad if the vocals were better and the solos weren’t so awful. If I could strip the shit and add good stuff to the base that I like, we might be talkin’ ‘bout something. As is……..Every song sounded like a Black Sabbath discarded song with a little organ blandly overdubbed on it. And that’s that.

Ikke lige så catchy som Machine Head.

Generic hair band vibes

Meh. I'm picky with metal and this wasn't the one for me.

Don't like rock much

It reminded me a lot of the Van Halen album, only not as good. Nothing stuck with me - the music had the sound of generic rock, with stereotype lead vocals and riffs. Excellent musicians, but I didn't think the material was up to their abilities, like actors doing their best with a mediocre script.

Okay

2/5 some great riffs but they don’t sustain my interest. definitely a harbinger of what hard rock and metal would become.

Didn't really connect with it. Seemed like a dollar store version of Led Zeppelin. Not awful, just not great.

Niet voor mij weggelegd dit album. Begin van Child in Time vind ik leuk klinken maar daarna wordt het wel een langdradig nummer.

I always thought of these guys as a one-riff wonder joke, there’s a reason every record store in the country has their albums in the dollar bin, they aren’t that interesting. Technical chops might be there, but these songs are pretty lame. The singing is particularly mediocre.

Too many falsettos. Felt like I was listening to Dennis Reynolds by the end of Child In Time

They really know how to rock 2.7/5

meh

Ja, Tief Violett halt. Briten mit Ami Sound. Kein Ausreisser nach oben, aber solid.

Child in Time is great - te rest of the album, decidedly meh. 2.5 stars

I just listened to made in japan yesterday... I cannot express how much I do not want to listen to more rock and metal and the most boring music that all sounds the same. Idk how people will say all rap sounds the same and then bob their head for hours listening to this and all other music that sounds like it. It's not bad, but it's not my type of music and oh my lord am I done with it. I don't want to hear rock for another month, idk why there aren't any other genres of music to explore in this. Almost fully caught up now thank the lord.

Help me understand why we got more Deep Purple. Is it that the first album wasn’t boring enough? Is it to make us appreciate the other albums, perhaps to soften the blow of the “trash can noises” album? I don’t get it. Please. No more Deep Purple, I beg of you 1001albumsgeberator.com have mercy

This process has certainly dulled the allure of rock n’ roll. F*** Deep Purple. “Child in Time” was fantastic though, I just say. This was honestly better than I expected, but still not good. Great album cover though.

Speed King, feels familiar, like the organ. Bloodsucker, wasn't paying attention, boring. Child in Time, fake epic, another miss. Yeah songs too long, album is trash.

I didn't manage to get all the way through the last Deep Purple album. It's not that it's bad, it's just that my emotive response to it is boredom, so I keep listening to something else instead. This one I hung on until I woke up when Spotify decided to play some Zappa instead.

Deep brown

Fine, but not my taste.

Growing up in Ann Arbor, I had a friend who's older brother just loved Deep Purple. Didn't understand then, but now I'm convinced he was just on acid all the time. A 10 1/2 minute song?? What the hell, just end it already. There were a couple tunes that were rocking, Speed King, Blood Sucker and Into the fire. Thought they were OK, but gog damn, I just can't get into the electric organ. Album released on June 3rd. Terrible day for the family. :( I'll say album was OK, but I won't become a Deep Purple fan any time soon. Love the color and think of Prince. Added bonus, TCU's main color is purple. To hell with Michigan and all their fans. Hahahahahahaha. 2

2.5 Being released in 1970, the elements of hard rock and metal on this album definitely make it feel ahead of its time. So, I can see why people think of Deep Purple as pioneers of the genres, but personally I can’t help but wonder how influential they actually were versus more well-known acts like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, who were both also putting out this kind of music at the same time… and much better music too imo. It still seems like it clings onto some elements of 60s keyboard-driven psychedelia which creates an interesting fusion I guess, though not overly. Fine slice of the era, but far from its best. Not sure we needed two by these guys on the list. Favorite songs: Child in Time, Hard Lovin' Man

Just not really feeling this album. Not my type of rock music.

Ok album, not my thing

Yeah, nah. Some interesting tracks, but I didn’t really vibe with this.

Child In Time is pretty good, but the rest is a bit meh. Historically important album, one of the founding texts of "metal", but it's a genre that has moved on so far this just sounds like caricature now.

Not for me

🤘

I’m sorry but I’m just not interested in Deep Purple enough to have this many albums from them. The live album was the ultimate insult. This one’s not as bad, and they’ve got a decent sound, but I’m just not finding much worth saving. I’d limit this group to just one album on the list, and not this one. Favorite tracks: Flight of the Rat. Album art: The Mount Rushmore twist on a band photo is pretty cool, and fits the album name well. Font isn’t great but what can you do? 2/5

Ok

Not bad. I found myself tapping my toe a time or two. The first part of the first song was great, and that gets an extra star.

Lars Ulrich loves them, which makes me suspicious. This isn't the Deep Purple you're familiar with at all. It's really just musical masturbation.

A band that's always left me cold. It would be better without 'Child In Time' and all that wailing.

I honestly don't care. You'd think I'd like this and you'd be wrong.

Half of the album wasn't available

Nonniih nyt ois sitä papparokkia

Drug infused "rock". Pretty standard late 60's- early 70's. Meh.

Mitään sanomatonta jynkytystä noh child in time

If I'd come across this in my early teens I might have given it a go, but my tastes have moved on from there. If I'm in the mood for guitar based rock now, Hendrix or Zeppelin would be my go to's, which are far superior to this.

Terrible album cover and title I wanted to like this one more than I did so I took some notes going through the songs about what worked for me and what didn’t. Child in time- the vocals dudes falsetto with the wide vibratto is so comically metal Organ- love the tone and texture for hard rock however some of his lines solo lines don’t quite work for me ( maybe too straight rhymically or some random sounding choice of scale/ modes) Overall I think I need stronger melodies all around -vocals the solos and in the riffs. I think for this kind of classic hard rock you need to have better riffs. For a music style like this that leans on the instrumental this way I wanted something better to hold on to. They did do a good job capturing a live feel I do like the tempo changes on Child in Time. Flight of the rat- rhythmic break downs are cool. Into the fire- verses sound cool coming out of the riff Living wreck is pretty bad. The cat noises on the organ are kinda cool Hard lovin man- pitch bend on organ are cool. Harmonized solo is cool too Random band fade out to excessive pan shifting guitar solo feels like it’s trying too hard and just made me dizzy. Idk that kind of thing may have seemed trippy and cool in 1970 but just feels awkward now.

Too much. Too many long tracks that go nowhere.

ñ é o melhor do deep purple

Not into the vocals

Not really my genre and I was tempted to skip tracks several times. On the plus side they make good use of dynamics and keyboards. Drums sounds great. Ian Gillan's vocals are great (although you have to be in the mood for the more intense bits). Guitars are a bit too heavy in the mix for my liking and are often too harsh/trebly for me. But there are some nice techniques and presumably they helped invent some of them. In places they are reminiscent of the Doors and Led Zepp. I knew Deep Purple a bit because my stepfather had Machine Head when I was growing up. I also know Ian Gillan from the original Jesus Christ Superstar album. Some good moments, and it is a good, innovated example of its genre but not for me.

Don't tell my Dad I said so, but this was pretty boring

Never really liked these guys, and they still don't do much for me.

Not really sure what to think about this. It's long as heck, and I don't really know what "gotta black breast Chinese eyes" means. But it's not too crazy off the wall other than 20 seconds of dead air, random transitions, and really freaking long songs.

Dreck. It does not survive the test of time. The organ has not carried well through time, and this is a perfect example... even hard working man starts with a great guitar riff and then just goes sideways with miserable guitar. There's not much to like here, too many ridiculous flourishes and overly dramatic vocals. It is heavy, but i think only the middle portion of child in time really hits the mark.

2.5

Maybe two songs.

Inspired a lot of my favorite hard music. It just feels boring for the most part now. Some great moments, but it gave me the same feelings as long jam band albums where it meanders and doesn't go anywhere

Yes, OK - apparently seminal, but not a patch on Zeppelin, who must have stolen their better tunes

Exactly the kind of music that Bill hates. Shannah surprisingly pleased (and excited at recognising a song). Conor liked guitars and keys. Jane heard very little of it - probably not her cup of tea. 2.25/5

No memory. 2?

03/03/2022 Had to track down the majority of the album on YouTube because Spotify only has 2 tracks available. WILD guitar work on this.

boooo

Whatever catchy initial hook these songs enter with is inevitably lost under 4-5 minutes of gratuitous, unnecessary guitar soloing. This band cannot just let a track breathe (or end in a reasonable amount of time).

My ears are bleeding!

Not my cup of tea, there is quality but it feels quite long. Favorite song: the rat one. One star less because organ solos are silly af.

Classic 70s metal. Not for me, but they had some crazy guitar solos and could sing really high.

nej ik rigtig min vibe

I guess I can appreciate that this is a very early, and therefore influential, example of heavy metal, but other than the first half of "Child in Time" and parts of "Into the Fire" this album didn't have much to offer.

Meh. I really expected to like this a lot more -- oddly, despite growing up listening constantly to what we now call "classic rock" (back then, it was just the stuff all the rock radio stations played), I hadn't heard very much Deep Purple -- and I don't like much here. I can hear some very talented musicians, no doubt about it, but I don't like the vocalist, and the songs themselves just don't really grab me. I love the sound of guitars in any genre, especially rock, but incredible as these guitarists are in terms of their ability, I was surprised to find myself bored during solos. I think, too, that this album suffers a bit because of so many bands that came after this era sounding a lot like this.

Child in Time vind ik een mooie classic, maar voor de rest is het me teveel gepiel op de millimeter. Daarom het net niet tot het einde volgehouden.

Het is geen argument maar ik vind dit echt achterhaald.

Not my favorite

Wow, this goes hard. Not my favorite, but harder than I thought for 1970.

39. Deep Purple in Rock - Deep Purple 7 tracks. I was really looking forward to this but it was a really big let-down. Not enjoyable at all. Such a shame. 2/5

Very meh

Sounds all the same, not really my style

Not my thing. The vocals are nails on a chalkboard, the organ noodles pointlessly. Good rhythm sections saves it.

This album made me feel stressed out. some cool moments though.

It was only in my twenties, when I first started commuting regularly and listening to local classic rock stations, that I discovered British bands like Deep Purple. Even then, though, my exposure was mostly limited to 'Smoke on the Water'. This is my first listen to the album... it's a fine example of that genre, I guess. A little too prog-rock for me. Best in small doses. I couldn't take listening in one sitting.

23rd August 2021 Listened on YouTube cos Spotify had like 2 of the songs. Started on the way back from swimming and finished in the living room. Quite forgettable to be honest, concept proggyness with big guitars.

It's hard to work out exactly why I don't like this. There are so many possibilities. It could be that the clinical production sucks any life out of it. It could be the focus on musical wankery (yes, we get it, you can play your instruments well - no need to labour the point). It could be that it seems too controlled and contrived for the vocal screams to be spontaneous and 'for real'. Having written all that down I've worked out what my big issue with this is - it's completely devoid of emotion. Maybe a musical person would appreciate this on a technical level, but from my point of view, the main purpose of music is to inspire some sort of emotional response, and this just leaves me cold. 2/5

It's fine. Child in Time was kinda fun. But sort of generic. This was their fourth album, and they had a new singer and were going for a heavier sound. ~shrug~

63. Rock, Austin, Taker, Cena, Jericho. NWA, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Kanye, Kendrick. Sampaio, Soares, Eanes, Marcelo, Cavaco. Um, dos, drei, cuatro, cinq. MotA: Hard Lovin' Man "Good Golly, said little Miss Molly"

Music to bang out a high school girl 20 years your junior to

Not recommended to listen to with a headache.

It was okay.

I can appreciate certain aspects of this album - particularly the drums - but the rest is incoherent and way too racy for my taste.

It actually got better, as I couldn't ever seem to finish listening to it. But I won't listen again. Very pompous.

Didn't grab me

Not very special to me

wow.

Bueno un pouco monotonillo pero aguantase ben

Child in time is an epic but the rest of the album is fairly non descript with guitars overpowering the lyrics. Not my cup of tea.

It actually got better, as I couldn't ever seem to finish listening to it. But I won't listen again. Very pompous.

Not my thing but some great riffs. And of course Black Night. Two and a quarter stars

not my steaz

So so, man wähnte sich groß

Another acquired taste, but better than say Billy Bragg. Nice jazz influences here

Fuck 1 song in particular

Not a fan

Meh

Building blocks I can see period that doesn’t mean I like the album period

No sure if they had more than one hit. Not sure if they are considered acid rock. If this was considered good at the time, it hasn't aged well. Particularly annoying was their coming to a complete stop in the middle (often already 4:00 in) and seem to start over again and add an additional 3 minutes to the song. I wonder if one of their other albums would have been more indicatinve of their good work.

Not for me

Not favorite at all

not my cup of tea and very samey from song to song. of its time

no thank you

Now I know where Spinal Tap drew a lot of inspiration from. This is far from a must.

Deep Purple in one ear and out the other.

lots of deep purple here definitely a vibe, but also not super compelling mostly? i expect i might be back, but even when i was in a dp phase, this wasn't the one 💥speed king 💥child in time

I listened to the first couple seconds of each song on the album and decided it was not for me. That intense, electric guitar rock-with-a-capital-R sound just isn't my jam.

Not for me

Not available

i can tell by the album cover it’s gonna be a no.

Deep Purple in Spinal Tap mode.

What a thudding great indigestible dollop of a record. The cover was very familiar, but I've never listened to it before. I wish I could still say that. Maybe it just sounds horribly dated but it's hard to think this stuff was ever considered to be good. Maybe get rid of that ridiculous keyboard sound, and lighten the production up a bit, and it would be a little more palatable. As it is, it's a tuneless load of old stodge that left me gasping for air.

It is possible that Deep Purple invented one of my least favourite things in music: histrionics. They should be vilified for this at every opportunity.

It’s a (very) low bar, but I think I slightly preferred Machine Head…

This was listenable in parts but there were other bits that actively gave me a headache, and I can't be having that with an album.

Physically unpleasant to listen to. I have no way of knowing whether this is worse than the other DP album we’ve been subjected to so far as to make that judgment I’d actually have to endure both again, something I will never do voluntarily. One star because there is ridiculously no lower mark. Tom.

I’ll pass on this one, give it to a stepfather or a 10 year old who really needs it. You can thank me later.

*Deep Purple In Rock* is 50% lunkheaded bloozy nonsense and 50% sub-ELP semi-prog foolishness, and the sum total adds up to a lot of nothing. Singer Ian Gillian tries unconvincingly to infuse his dull lyrics with some sort of significance, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plays fast, to little effect, and keyboardist Jon Lord slathers every song with Hammond organ for no particular reason.

Ggs not my things

not for me

Good at what they do but songs are waaay too long

Not my thing

Eh- just not very good

Vaya mierdon

yeah the master sucks and it's literally unlistenable

Alright, settle down everyone

I really didn't like this. I often say the 70's are my least favorite decade of music because of music like this and yacht rock. It was not good.

Fuck off

70’s bro music

Whiny and screechy album

Nope

Really hated this x

barrett's gonna be even more annoying™️ but we move. baby driver music (derogatory). hendrix bar for fucking bar. the first line of the album (whole song actually) is a little richard reference. at some point we have to question if racism affects everything 😨. oh wait. bloodsucker work rates its way into being decent. the line "Got a black breast Chinese eyes" tells me i should stop looking at the lyrics. good sabbath impression. child in time Might be it (despite that goofy fucking ending). if i lived in 1970 and bought this i'd genuinely be pissed 85% of the a-side wasted my time. ritchie has the juice (along with most of the band) but the song structure and lyrics let them down terribly. "flight of the rat" made my good songs from the generator playlist but. what was the point of restarting the song after 5 minutes. i'll use the drum breaks for something. might be useful then. 1.2-2.3. proto berklee. guitar wasn't invented until buckethead.

Hard Rock, big fleemmme. En plus c'est la semaine des mines

Hard nope

Hate it. Too much rock.

No to another heavy rock one Not ground breaking at all. Led Zep every time

no more rock please.

Boring :/

Complete and utter shite

meh muy rock

lore ipsum

had to stop listening 😅. not an album i could even get through!

Butt

My God some of this is annoying lol, screeching for a whole song, fuckin come on. Child in time got to be one of the most annoying songs in history. This hard to listen to, one review said it was masturbatory and that's so fitting. Nothing.... Forever basic solo of something, "Rock lyric" , strum strum boring and annoying. The cheesy like Jaguar sound bit is a joke right? Lol Made it to "hard lovin man" turned it off, another awful song that seems like a joke. I get it, and even like other albums of that same style but found this just awful, my first 1?

Oh gawd. Now I know where Spinal Tap got a bunch of their schtick. This is screamy, pointless guitary and basic song stuff. Hard pass.

jesus christ thee are way too long. saved: n/a.

qué aburrimiento :(

No.

I was happy to turn this one off. I like their earlier stuff, but this is just too many notes, too many solos. Nothing moved me.

Not a fan of Speed King. It opens like hard rock by numbers before a pointless organ break and then back to a minute of throwing great rock songs into the lyrics. Bloodsucker does nothing to change this. Child in Time decides to move the organ to the start, which at least changes the sound. The vocals are far more restrained but I fear this does not improve the quality of the song as they are shocking. It is this point i realise there is still 8 minutes more of this song. It improves slightly with the change of tempo and guitar wakery, but this is more than 4 minutes in and we eventually return to the slow warble Track 4 includes a reasonable guitar break that ventures into Jimi Hendrix stylings, but otherwise the rest of the album is just more of the song. Overall the album feels an excuse to showcase some lead guitar virtuosity, which is obviously exceptional but not enough to justify this shit.

This was far too long. Had far too much Jon Lord knob-twiddling. I didn’t know where one track finished and another began. Time was but a construct listening to this. Never again.

I like heavy music, I like Sabbath but this did absolutely nothing for me. It felt like a slog despite not even being that long. Playlist track: Living Wreck

I really didn't like this one. It was so bad i couldnt even finish it.

Noodles.

oh my god

Like many things from the 70s you wouldn't get away with this nowadays. A couple of ok tunes but otherwise very generic with fairly shoddy vocals.

Album 24 Top 3 "favorites" off the album: Flight of the Rat, Into the Fire, Living Wreck Another neutral leaning dislike, unfortunately. I'm not super inspired by this one either, so another short review. I don't mind screaming, really, but this one just got on my nerves. I didn't even realize it had ended and moved on to another album. Whoops. Suffice to say, the vocals were not my favorite. It's like a bad imitation of rock 'n' roll screaming, but not intentionally. I liked the guitar, some of the organ, and the drumming.

Forced myself to give it a fair shake. I was only able to get all the way through 2 of the 7 songs, one because I forced myself to, and one because I didn't get sick of it. The rest I listened as long as I could… didn't really like any of it, to be honest.

I don’t like this at all

Don’t care!!

Guitar and drums on this were good but something about this album just wasn't for me

Pots and pans, hootin and hollerin. Its a cacophony of talent. The guitars are nastyyy and the drum work is impressive, but it feels at times like they’re just doing their own thing rather than moving as a band, it doesn’t feel cohesive. In all honesty, I just felt overstimulated and anxious listening to this, I only found 2/7 songs listenable so 1 star

No. No. No. This is not for me.

Not to my taste.
