Deep Purple In Rock

This album is extraordinarily good, so enjoyable and with such great guitar moments. I've loved listening to it, it's such an immersive record, so full of great melodies. I wouldn't say it's my favourite Deep Purple record, nor a perfect album (yet close to), but sure it's such a great time, and very interesting at some points too.

so fireee already had child in time

Ggs not my things

not for me

Slightly dated, but still good! ★★★

Ace. 4.5

It's not bad, but I'm just so bored listening.

below average

Bro some sick instrument solos were in this album. At least one guitar solo and at least one drum solo. This was a great and compact rock album.

A rock album full of hits.

Det fede var virkelig fedt. Synes ikke anniversary edition gjorde noget godt for oplevelsen, men så er det godt at man jo bare kan fravælge den...

Har aldrig hørt andet Deep Purple end Smoke on the Water. Jeg synes sgu at det er ganske fornøjeligt - fedt med lidt el-orgel/keys, det forstår jeg at sætte pris på. Dog ikke noget jeg finder banebrydende - derfor et flot 3-tal.

* 67 Det var meget finurligt med start in medias res, og derfra var det jo egentlig en fin, med streg under "fin", oplevelse.

God spade, god gas, lange numre som var til at komme igennem - men ikke noget der vælter en af stolen

Spade, energi og langt hår Men den der vokal........ Jeg er glad for, at der ikke er ligeså uproportioneret mange, der lyder sådan længere Highlights: into the fire 2.6

Synes faktisk det er ret fedt - specielt de tre første numre - men så måske heller ikke mere og de sidste 4 numre gør ikke helt så meget for mig.

The Mark II line up is the only lineup that really matters IMO. From the group that would ultimately deliver the two heavy hitters of “Machine Head” and “Perfect Strangers”, this one doesn’t quite measure up to that level. The elements are all there, but the Album would have been better served had they shaved off 1-2 min of each track and added 2-3 more songs. The songs play long.

I like to rock out with the best of ‘em, but sheesh…not sure where to start with this one. I guess I gotta start with the cover art. So much for subtle. But moving on to the music itself, these dudes clearly have really high music chops. And at the time it was probably considered pretty amazing and different, but the album is such a cliche box checker. From overused scream screeching banshee howl singing, to silly lyrics, to bloated guitar solos, to unnecessary drum solos…ha…it’s got it all. I kept finding myself saying surely they must be joking. Turns out they weren’t. I thought multiple times that I was actually listening to Spinal Tap. And I guess that is what pushes it into a higher rating for me.

Did not love this. Some cool moments but a little too much jam band, vocals were a little too over the top and the fact that Child in Time is not a great song and accounts for 25% of the album has marking this with lower grades. 2.75

I like to rock. And this album did that, so… 3.5/5

Face melty.

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

Good at what they do but songs are waaay too long

me gusto la versión del 25 aniversario

Nice. Fun feel to it. Very classic rock. Enjoyed it.

Good memories to mediocre songs. Aaaah-Aaah-Ah

Not my thing

more heavy/progressive rock from deep purple. Not nearly as good as machine head. Just a couple of good songs on here. I like the band overall, but this album just did not do much for me

Album rocked! Listen to it twice and loved it both times.

Very enjoyable.

We liked this. We also remember very little and we forgot to rate it...oops. Cool guitar riffs (we think)

³cd 4

Could never take to Deep Purple. Rock pioneers with good guitar work sometimes, sure. But it all feels a bit try hard.

Duro como piedra, así se siente este álbum de Deep Purple, el primero que escucho de ellos, y me gustó mucho, está muy bien interpretado por parte de la guitarra y la batería, la voz es increíble y las letras están bastante buenas, sin dudas mi favorita fue Child in Time.

This is very. Hm. Oh I don’t know. Listening to this feels kind of like listening to some man going on and on about how great he is in some capacity, half-demanding and half-begging that I heap praise upon him. Whether or not he’s actually as good as he thinks or wants me to think he is (and I kind of think these guys might be, like, technically this record is THERE) it kind of makes me determined to convince myself he’s not, out of spite. Also the whole thing really does just invite Zeppelin comparisons that are… not necessarily always very favorable (Zeppelin is just so much more FUN…). But. Ugh, I don’t know. I want to give it two stars, and maybe I should, for the number of times I found myself rolling my eyes at all the flourishes and wails, but I don’t know if I can quite manage… sometimes the braggart men do manage to win you over in the end, however much you hate both parties involved for letting it happen

It's no Machine Head but this album still rocks.

Well constructed, but highly unlilely to be anyone's favourite.

Every song a banger. One of the first albums I ever bought, and I still put it on 40+ years later. The keyboards, drums, base and guitar all top in their field. Then you add Ian Gillan’s vocal. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this album.

ROCKKKKSSSSS

70’s rock

Classic guitar rock

Album #119, Deep Purple, Deep Purple in Rock ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outside of Child in Time, which I knew from a Deep Purple compilation I listened to when I was a kid, this was basically all new to me. I know a handful of the famous songs like Smoke on the Water and Black Night, but that’s about the extent of my Deep Purple knowledge. Let me just start by saying that the first 45 seconds of this album is the best opening to any album I’ve ever heard. It is absolutely face-melting. Then the organ comes in and I feared the absolute worst. I thought I was about to get another proggy heavy metal album because, for me, the organ so often betrays a band’s intentions. The second I hear it, I start bracing myself for forty minutes of fantasy lyrics, endless classically trained solos and pretentious nonsense. What you actually get instead is one of the heaviest hard rock albums ever made. This thing sounds absolutely incredible. It’s got such a live sound to it, and when I looked into it afterwards, that was exactly what they were aiming for. They wanted to recreate their live sound in the studio. You hear bands say that all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard it achieved this successfully. It genuinely sounds like a live album that’s somehow been perfectly recorded. The bass is ridiculously loud, fuzzy and front and centre in the mix, exactly like it would be in a live setting. It gives everything this huge low-end weight. The whole album feels massive because of it. The organ was the biggest surprise. I expected Rick Wakeman style prog excess. Instead it’s less King Arthur and more Sister Ray. It’s often used almost as a percussive instrument, just hammering away underneath everything. On tracks like Flight of the Rat which is almost proto-punk, it’s aggressive rather than decorative. Richie Blackmore is staggering throughout. The guitar tone is incredible. The riffs are incredible. The solos are incredible. Everything just sounds so immediate. The lyrical themes are mostly the usual hard rock fare, but honestly I don’t care because the sound of the album is so good. It gets away with absolutely everything through sheer force of execution. The one moment where it does lean into something more proggy is Child in Time, but it completely earns it. It’s a rare thing. A prog song that I like. I’m trying to be fairly conservative with five-star ratings, but there was no avoiding it here. I headbanged my way through the whole thing.

After only knowing smoke on the water & Highway Star I wasn't expecting much from this album, but goddamn these boys are rockin

You can hear the beginnings of where they were going. But they didn’t get there until Machine Head.

Really cool album that I never listened to. I'd heard 'Child in Time', but nothing else on this album. Some great instrumentals and great voice. When listening to Child in Time, I realized it sounds a bit like Bowie.

Nothing interesting there.

That is some 70's driving hard rock right there.

My jam.

Disappointing.

classic heavy metal, it's good but can be overwhelming!

Eh- just not very good

About as early 70s hard rock as early 70s hard rock rocks. Features all the widdly, widdly wah of a Zeppelin record, but none of the stuff that makes those albums worth listening to. Not to say Deep Purple ripped off Zeppelin (it seems Deep Purple came first) but the same people commenting that they miss "real music" under Zeppelin live performances will do the same here and have a good time. I am not inane and boring enough to believe that music stopped being an artform after David Crosby got sober, so I'm acutely aware that white guys goin' at it for 10 minutes is not the be all, end all. Bonus points for a keyboardist who's usually doing something weird, bonus points lost for the amount of high notes our leading man squeals out.

this is worse than the doors…

Cada vez que vez una canción de más de 7 minutos de largo de rock clásico me voy a emocionar a sobre manera gracias a estos manes. Me han enamorado de los solos instrumentales largos.

Some albums just some epic and this sounds EPIC

very my dad.

Vaya mierdon

Best: #1 Speed King

Classic 70s at its best. Deep Purple were always underrated in my opinion.

I was unaware that Deep Purple went this hard. Porto-metal

Would not buy

yeah the master sucks and it's literally unlistenable

Alright, settle down everyone

Screaming guitars, soaring vocals, driving bass, pounding drums, and thrilling organ make this a glorious piece of extravagant rock art. I'd never heard this album before, but I got hooked in the first couple of minutes. A must listen.

And that's a wrap on Deep Purple. My least favorite of the three on the list, but overall it's an enjoyable rock/early heavy metal record.

a fascinating album the way it is like a mainstream rock band doing their songs in a prog way. It sounds incredible and i feel it's due to this approach to making songs like Child in Time. I think even in other songs, you can see this style and that little more complexity, gives a lot of interest and appeal to this album

Good old rock

Fast guitar riffs and razor-sharp solos? Check! A multi-octave vocalist? Check! Drum solos? Check too! There are even epic organ parts. "Classic hairy rock clichés," some might say, but the fact is that this album was one of the reasons for those clichés. Before this, Deep Purple had been making all sorts of art-psychedelia and even veered toward orchestral sounds, but then Ritchie Blackmore heard Led Zeppelin and said, "That's how we should play!" In the end, Deep Purple picked up a few interesting tricks from their colleagues, hired a new vocalist and bassist, and delivered classic 70s rock — seven epic songs that are perfectly enjoyable to headbang to. True, the album isn't mixed very well, and none of the numerous reissues have improved its sound much, but that's not so important, since for me personally, this music already works on a reflex level.

8 - GOOD

was never really convinced to deep purple, its my first attempt to listen to a whole album. i loooove it!!!

Hyvää kamaa. Tuli parikin kertaa vedettyä läpi kun oli just sopiva rokkimeininki päällänsä.

Todella kova levy. Vahva aloitus, Child in Time, tykitystä loppuun saakka. Henkilökohtanen bias löytyy varmasti Deep Purplea ja Blackmorea kohtaan, muta uppoaa oikein hyvin.

Some fun shit on here, also a lot of ridiculousness. Pretty sure Child in Time is the inspiration for Dennis Reynolds Day Man performance. There's a lot of fun to be had here. I'll play this at parties even though everyone will look at me funny.

Too many unnecessary solos. 3/5

incredible sounding album. insane shredding fav tracks: 1, 2, 5, 7

The other one was better

Some may say that the excessively long instrumental solo is a lost art, I am not one of them. Yet more indulgent and ultimately very samey 70s rock. A generational sound that, for me, does not span the ages.

This went harder and faster than I expected from DP. Way better than smoke on the water. Might listen again.

progressive really.

A masterpiece of rock n roll! “Child In Time”, 10/10.

Love me some Speed King. Rest of it is pretty good too. Definitely understand why the Stoners love Deep Purple. 4/5

Solid rock album

Not super my thing, quite heavy but amazing guitar and general playing! Would listen on another day

Appreciated some of the guitar riffs, but not much else. Not for me

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.

Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Feine Scheibe.

First one I was actually familiar with prior

it’s aight. ganz cool aber nichts besonderes imo.

man thats pure rock. those guitar solos perfectly complement the harmony. everything just works. had a lot of fun listening to it. speed king is a great song and the rest just complete each other

masterpiece

Definitely the best Deep Purple album I have ever listened to. The energy is relentless. The drumming is fantastic and the guitar and organs are explosive. How did they manage to make an organ sound like a tiger on Living Wreck? You can definitely hear how this would have influenced groups like Iron Maiden or Van Halen. Favorites were Speed King, Child In Time, Flight Of The Rat, and Living Wreck.

Machine Head is such a better lp. This LP feels like they wrote it in a day

Really enjoyed, can see the beginnings of hard rock in this album

Of course there were clichés. They invented every single one of them. Loved its excess from beginning to end.

Enjoyed more than I was expecting on a full listen through, and you can hear it’s influence on subsequent music.

This felt like what that Andy Warhol soup can painting would sound like.

Fuck off

70’s bro music

Whiny and screechy album

Great album from possibly the best line-up

Erm. Hell yes. Fuckin epic. Deep Purple rocks In Rock. Rock-fuckin-tastic. This rocks. No notes. Rock on.

kult albumcover

- I'm lowk fucking with this - I gotta listen to more deep purple

8/10 Having previously enjoyed but not loved Machine Head, I was pretty interested to see where Deep Purple were a couple of years prior, particularly as fans typically fall down one side or the other of these two albums being their best. Straight out of the gate, this record is loud, feisty and driven. They fire out riffs like they're going out of fashion, but also blend that insistent, riff-driven momentum with elements of blues, psychedelia and the odd touch of rock 'n roll. They also aren't afraid to take detours down instrumental avenues, with lengthy sections dedicated to playing the absolute balls off their instruments. It's not always tidy, but it's always delivered with verve, swagger and a sense of infectious fun. The vocals are used more sparingly than most rock bands, but are typically effective, switching between hooky choruses and speaker shredding wails. There's more than a touch of prototype Iron Maiden sound in places, with that most apparent in the vocal of Child In Time, but you can also hear a great deal of influence for sludge and stoner bands like The Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age and even noise rock bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. It's pretty remarkable that this album came out in 1970, when compared to those bands that would follow. But it would be easy to dismiss this as a proto noise-metal album when there are great touches of Henrix-esque psych rock and Led Zep Style riff work. For me, the overblown noise sound takes things a little too far away from sonic clarity and the "live" sound they were going for hasn't held up quite as well as the musical foundation, but you can definitely hear what they were going for. There were times when this did drift and become a tiny bit self-indulgent, but for the most part, it feels a more consistent whole than Machine Head, and while there aren't as many hits, the sonic and instrumental adventures they undertake make for a slightly more satisfying and complete experience. Speed King - There are some absolutely stonking riffs and solos on this and the influence of Deep Purple on stoner and sludge rock that would follow is immediately apparent. But boy does it sound like it was recorded during the soundcheck at a large, empty venue. The song itself is really good though and you can get a definite feel of how loud and boisterous they must have been live. The transition into the solos is quite odd and jarring, but once they get going again, it's great fun. A solid yet grimy start. Bloodsucker - There's definitely some Hendrix vibe coming off some of their riffs and this has a really great groove. The mix is still grimy, but sounds way more intentional and coherent than on Speed King. The beat drives well and there's some great swagger to both the riffs and the vocal delivery. Things get a bit more psychedelic during the solos too, which gives extra range and flavour. Child In Time - A nice change of pace now and it leans a bit more into the psychedelic side. It's a bit cleaner and more melodically focused, but still has a rumbling weight to it as it builds. Again, they lean towards a Hendrix feeling with the guitar solo, and the build from there is really good. It's obviously a touch self indulgent, but most guitar solos are, if we're completely honest. The harmonisation section between organ and guitar that they hit us brilliant. I can imagine this being absolutely epic live, and while there's more than a hint of Spinal Tap to it, it's the right side of the line for me. There are definitely hints to big metal bands that would follow too, as the vocal section near the end sounds an awful lot like where Iron Maiden would take metal in the 80s. Flight Of The Rat - This is a bit more poppy and even punky in some respects. They're a super tight and coherent group and while things sound grubby and dirty, they do translate that live feel and momentum onto the record really well. The soloing here is great fun and well executed, even if it's something that works better live than it does as a studio piece. Still really enjoyable though, and they do a really good job of keeping things fresh throughout the 8 minute track length. The choppy wah guitar section is bloody excellent, and even the drum solos are pretty engaging. Into The Fire - Great groove here with more solid riffs and a huge amount of weight to the sound. It leans a bit more into a standard song structure, which mixes things up nicely from the last couple of tracks. It's dirty, sleazy and fun but doesn't just take the obvious or easy options with the composition, so still has a fresh sound. Living Wreck - More great riffs and more swagger. There's some cool sound design work in here which adds to the slightly psychedelic edge. The drumming is great too and has a solid sense of touch to it. It's bluesy, funky and dirty and the vocals fit with that vibe perfectly too. This is a slightly tighter and more focused song, but they still make space to rock out. Hard Lovin' Man - The drive at the start of this is excellent and the sound design is massive and weighty. When the vocals kick in, it's insistent and punchy, but they make space for some cool little breakdown moments to keep things fresh. Again, this sounds like it would be amazing live and it only falls a little short of that as a studio work. This does become a little long and self-indulgent when we go through the solo sections, which holds it back a little, but it's still a solid closer and it sounds like they're having a lot of fun, which is pretty infectious.

1. "Speed King" 2. "Child in Time" 3. "Living Wreck" and, of course, in this issue, "Black Night"

Охуенно.

I feel like the music itself is good but I usually go for more like radio friendly/listenable music; not something I’d add to my playlist but solid Damn the singer has a good voice Good rock sound

You could argue that this was instrumental to metal

DEEP PURPLE I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME. This was the best album to clean the house to. Fav song: Child in Time, Living Wreck

This probably fucked if you heard it live but this album was kinda boring :x Bloodsucker was good tho

Fun album, love early hard rock metal. Makes me wanna get stoned and play DnD.

Essential listening in my house

Bon bah c'est très sympa, ce que j'avais écouté de deep purple jusqu'à aujourd'hui j'avais pas aimé mais il faut croire que c'est vraiment pas mal ! J'ai bougé la tête tout le long et j'ai adoré: 1) Child in Time 2) Living Wreck 3) Hard Lovin' Man

I do not need an excuse to listen to Deep Purple in Rock. This is my favourite album and is, without exaggeration, the most important record in my collection, in fact In Rock is the seed from which most of my record collection grew. My uncle gave me the album in the late '70s and, from the classical, jazz, blues, soul and progressive influences on this, and on later Purple albums, I built and extensive music library which spans many genres. And of course, despite the incredible influence that contemporaries, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, had on the hard/heavy rock and metal worlds, it is impossible to imagine that the likes of Iron Maiden and Metallica and the rest did not listen to Deep Purple, and this album in particular. “Flight of the Rat” is proto-thrash metal, at least a decade before that scene emerged. As hard as DPIR hit me, I can only imagine what it was like to hear this for the first time in 1970, especially for anyone who knew the band. From the cacophonous first minute of opener “Speed King”, and explosion of wailing guitar and screeching, howling hammond organ, thundering drums and crashing cymbals it is clear this is something different - this is not the same band that recorded Hush, let alone the Concerto for Group and Orchestra. The discordant noise resolves into contemplative church organ and then. bang, the riff starts and the band launch into one of the most powerful opening tracks in rock music. The lyrics are largely drawn from the 1950s rock and roll songs which inspired the young Ian Gillan, here energised with the power of the new “heavy’ rock “Bloodsucker” is built around a tight unison bass and guitar line, which snakes through the verses (there really isn’t any chorus) punctuated by organ stabs and sustained chords, then a series of short solo exchanges from Blackmore and Lord. “Child in Time” is one of the great Deep Purple songs with the whole band on stunningly good form. It builds from Jon Lord’s subdued organ introductory riff, adding elements gradually through the verse, until Ian Gillan’s voice screams in increasing anguish, his range and control are amazing, one of the best voices ever in rock music. Then into the bolero section which drives into a jaw-dropping guitar solo. And then we go again, this time with even more power, even more control. Roger Glover’s bass holds everything down, Paice’s drumming is incredible throughout - listen to his cymbal work in the quiet passages. The lyrics can be interpreted as anti-drug, anti-war but Gillan has said they are anti-stupidity - how relevant that still is… “Flight of the Rat” has one of the all time great Hammond organ solos, ending with a series of long, harsh discordant notes (still my ringtone) and seamlessly leading into a very funky guitar break, more busy, jazzy drumming from Paice. The track foreshadows metal but swings like Count Basie. Perhaps the heaviest track on the album, “Into the Fire” is a slower number, slightly reminiscent of Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”. It is followed by “Living Wreck” which taken is at a similar tempo but funkier, again some amazing drumming. Also an unusual, sensuous, slithering guitar solo, Blackmore experimenting with an octaver effect. “Hard Lovin’ Man” lays the blueprint for everything Iron Maiden and other metal bands did later in the decade - the galloping rhythm, the driving riffs - but the metal bands didn’t have Jon Lord. The distorted Hammond sound plays the main riff before the verses and his solo is unbelievable. He plays intentionally in the wrong key and wrestles the notes into key, the organ emitting discordant, atonal screams. The song, and the album, ends with a swirling cacophony of protest from Blackmore’s Stratocaster which echoes the opening of “Speed King”. Awe inspiring.

A really good album. In general, I'm very much in the "less is more" camp when it comes to the number of tracks and length of the album. This was right in the goldilocks zone. It didn't sound dated. All of the tracks were good, the standout tracks being 'Child in Time' and 'Flight of The Rat'.

Deep Purple...Yeah

I did not expect April!

I still don’t like the organ but this has some really solid hard rock.

Early heavy metal

7 - Rocked pretty hard

Nope

I'm sorry Deep Purple I was not familiar with your game

Not a big fan of this over the top heavy metal. Made me think of leprechauns dancing around a scale model of Stonehenge…

Living up to the title of the album, these guys most definitely knew how to rock and rock hard. There are some serious chops in the band and it makes for an enjoyable ride. But, my Lord, "Child in Time" has to be the most Spinal Tap-ish song of all time. And Ian Gillin's histrionic wails can be laughable. But there's a sonic intensity to many of these songs that can't be denied, especially on the second half with "Flight of the Rat" and "Into the Fire."

Technically impressive. The original recording sounds like crap, but listened to the 2018 remaster and was very impressed with lead guitar shredding and percussion especially. It's all a bit too proggy and overblown for my taste though, especially the excessive organ and wailing falsetto. Not bad but not something I'd really ever want to throw on either

I really liked this album - although I'm old enough to have liked it when it came out originally! Typical Deep Purple.

Grandpa rock. Not terrible but not for me.

pretty cool. chill dad rock. sort of act 1 of a guitar hero game vibe, medium difficulty. i think i have a weakness for the overwrought 10 minute long epic because Child in Time ruled. strong 3

Rating: 9/10 Honestly rocks hard. It's actually really good hard rock and ahead of its time proto-metal. The front half I believe is better but the last few B-side tracks are still good, especially the crazy heavy ending of Hard Lovin' Man. The start of Speed King is definitely an insane way to start a rock album in 1970, and Child in Time absolutely deserves its classic status. Bloodsucker and Flight of the Rat are great. Now the lyrics...not always the best, but I'm paying attention to the better parts of the albums like the soaring guitars and shredding solos and ferocious drums. I listened to this one on a high compression youtube mix which sucked so I would actually like to hear it again in higher quality to judge the production.

Really awesome for just regular 'ole 70s rock. Had essence of that "40 minute jam sesh" rock album-ness but the jam sesh was awesome with juicy ass riffs and random solos and overall just a great sound. Led Zeppelin-ass vocals except they knew when to shut it and let the organ rock. I was secretly waiting for Highway Star to start at any moment but sadly that came two years later (these guys have 24 studio albums, why). This album was a pleasant surprise that I liked more than I expected 6.7/10

Was okay

This was bad

A rocking good time

Awesome riffs, marred by classic rock vocals. Can hear both influences they pulled from and things they influenced.

Some old school rock. It's ok.

Really hated this x

5/15 Classic. Can totally hear how Child in Time was an inspiration for Arjen Luccassen's Ayreon and Star One projects

Yeah that was fun!

heerlijk !!

Has potential, not my vibe

Never really listened to much of Deep Purple before. Maybe it's because this is a pre Machine Head album but this sounds too much like The Doors for me to consider it anything more than every other psychedelic rock band from this era. At least the riffs are good!

Heard Before? Only "Child in Time". Notes: - rock organ is one of my favorite instruments, so I was instantly sold on that. - this album's reputation as the heaviest thing going in 1970 rings true, especially on something like "Into the Fire". - once things get underway, there isn't much in the way of surprises, but there is just enough variety to hold my interest. - lyrics are perfectly ignorable. - the mix matches the performances perfectly, with all the instruments just distinct enough, but still blending as things get heavy. vocals are half-buried, which is ideal. Verdict: Organ-heavy hard rock wankery. If you have long gray hair and a leather vest, this is the perfect soundtrack to thinking about your glory days. Listen Again? Probably not, but I'm very glad that I heard it. I'm fine listening to something once out of curiosity - that's how I can make my way through this list.

спид кинг норм

this is one of THE albums i recommend to people wanting to get into harder rock. totally killer!

Peñazo. No me he guardado nada y me he aburrido bastante.

Was surprised to see a second Deep Purple album on this list (I think 1 is enough to get the idea of these guys). Good album, stoner rock prior to the label, lots of solid heavy riffage and psychedelic noodling. Although, I don't know why folks think Richie Blackmore is great guitar player, he seems just kinda ordinary to me. Find the organ a bit too churchy for my taste.

Much better than I would have thought really liked it

Hay una estrella clara del show, Child in Time, que es un monumento, el resto está guay, pero es que la diferencia es abismal....

I can see how this rocks, not in the mood. Too much squealing and extended guitar/keys for me today

Child in Time 5/5

The first track starts off with an explosion. I was expecting a riff, or a fill, but Speed King perfectly blasts off this album like a fucking rocket with a minute of chaos to excellently encapsulate what this record is gonna be. Every track is just a banger, with the epic Child in Time showcasing the incredible talent of not just every member, but especially Ritchie Blackmore. That middle section is just something else. Jon Lord is also just ridiculous throughout this entire album. Every single musician on this album is actually insane, and they luckily put their genius into this heavy metal madness. It's funky, it's heavy, it's technical, it's motherfucking Deep Purple.

Catch me with this album on the backroads

Sometimes you want to step into a Slim Jim and see where the world takes you.

This is probably a very unpopular opinion, especially with the recent addition of one of these tracks on Stranger Things... But I just didn't like it. I am not really a fan, full stop, of this genre of music, and I really don't think I ever will be. There was nothing 'wrong' per se with any of the album or any of the tracks, they just were not my taste at all. This was one of those albums where I was just sitting, waiting for it to finish, because I didn't want to listen to any more of it. Heavier music really just kind of puts me off a bit because I struggle to connect to it in any way. Again, I understand that this opinion will be unpopular to most, but it is just my preferred styles of music that have made me form this opinion. As I said, there was nothing specifically wrong with this. I think that it is an album that knows its sound and achieved what it wanted; unfortunately, it just really wasn't for me. I couldn't really think of any that stood out to me, as I had very similar feelings towards all of the tracks.

Du rock un peu trop old school à mon goût

ça y est j'en ai marre

Un album entier de ça c'est clairement trop. Mais un petit Child in Time de temps en temps, c'est quand même un sacré pied !

Technically proficient but not very memorable otherwise

Lots of keys. Nothing that stood out from anything else during that time.

If you like guitar solos, Deep Purple is for you. Fave track: Child in Time

Does nothing for me. 2/5

Remeber when they used to do laser light shows, this is the music I assumed they would do for it. It’s wild

lo mejor fue el studio chat muy divertido

This was solid but I wasn’t in the mood

Great album throughout Standout songs: Speed king Child in time Into the fire

Classic!

As a baby baby boomer, I have lived at the edge of time where this music was popular, so I don't get it, but those who were older in my life were formed by this music, so this explains somethings.

Best Song: Child in Time This isn't bad. I am not hearing anything special with it outside of the juxtaposition from this to the average album from the late 60s shows that the times were changing. I like Deep Purple and, while this album is relatively without any of their hits, is solid. 4/5.

Banger album but "Into the Fire" is basically just King Crimson

Rocks hard. I'm almost certainly never going to listen to this ever again.

good stuff! doesn't overstay its welcome

It was fine. I can't say I was really into it. But maybe that because my ears need a break from screaming. The music was rockin' some of the songs could have been half as long.

Welcome to riffland

Great rock album. Loved it.

At least it's not Robbie Williams

Was pretty average overall never finished it

I liked it the whole way. Dad rock lives forever.

Love the little Bach nod at the start of Speed King. This is my second Deep Purple album of the list, and while this one didn't have any hits that I knew going in, the album as a whole was great. I'm really liking their sound, particularly how they work in the organ in clean and distorted flavors. Tie between Speed King or Child in Time for my favorite.

not for me

Great stuff! Reminded me a lot of early Led Zeppelin, but closer to progressive rock with the organ and frequent rhythm changes. Ian Gillian is awesome on vocals.

An interesting album, quite different from other metal albums I listen to... Didn't make me go crazy but I enjoy it Fav song - Child in Time 3/5

Too rocky

Rockin'

I was really getting into the first half of the album, but as it went on, it seemed to get a little stale and the songs just didn't hit the same as they did at the start of the album. I can see some resemblance to the early hard rock of Black Sabbath, but this felt a little more glam to me, so it just wasn't quite as good as I was hoping. But overall I still enjoyed it.

Listened previously. Expectations: High - Verdict: Near Perfect - I said in my Machine Head entry that this was my favourite Purple album. I stand by that. Speed King has one of my favourite riffs ever during the chorus. The riffs just keep coming. Every song has such a driving, propulsive momentum that defines so much of what I love about heavy rock music. Phenomenal.

Haven’t heard any of these songs before this as far as I know. It’s not my thing though, this style along with those vocal wails I can’t do.

Look, "The more traditionally bluesy the metal the greater my allergic reaction" is almost axiomatic with me. There are obvious exceptions, Black Sabbath (for instance), but by and large this is a good rule of thumb for my taste. And we know there's a particular texture to certain musical expressions of "now classic" British humor in music from the era — a blend of absurdity, musical irony, and self-aware, ghoulish theatricality — that creates a high-wire type situation where 80% of the time I don't feel it succeeds musically. Layer all that with my general suspicion of the high-tenor rock belting that hails me as a listener by singing too directly and you begin to understand how in my head I'm compiling a list of grievances against this record. Imagine my surprise to conclude Deep Purple in Rock was overall not bad for me. The energy they invest and express combined with a commitment to the bit was enough to win me over. Impressive for 1970, a solid four-star rating for Deep Purple's In Rock encouraging multiple listens.

Rating:★★★★ Good classic rock. Lots of long solos, which are a favorite of mine. Kinda reminds me of Led Zeppelin, which is one of my favorite bands, so safe to say I enjoy the sound of this album.

Banger

Insane? So fuckin sick?

70's hard rock n roll. if you can't feel something from those guitar solos then i don't know what to tell you

A little nutty and full of machismo. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Just gritty

Canciones que me gustaron: -Bloodsucker, tiene buena instrumental de guitarra y la letra esta buena, siento que es una de esas bandas que quedaría muy bien para un show mas. -Into the fire, temazo zarpado me lo guardo para volverlo a escuchar nuevamente en el futuro. me dan ganas d tomarme un tiki una cerveza y empezar a tocar la guitarra con la distorsión al palo. -BLACK NIGHT HERMANOOO, yo sabia q de algun lado tenia este album pero no me acordaba de donde, fue de los primeros temas q me dieron a aprender cuando iba a guitarra q locura, el riff es buenisimo y que buena manera de cerrar un disco totalmente basados BLACK NIGHT BLACK NIGHT I DONT NEED A BLACK NIGHT. Observaciones: el album tiene muy buena guitarra de fondo y logra alcanzar un sonido considero muy pulido para la epoca, podria asociar un poco el estilo de rock a the guns and roses por la guitarra sobre todo y los gritos como addlibs de fondo.

Just an all-around solid, heavy classic rock record. Don't have too much else to say. 3.5 -> 4/5

The organ had no need to go this hard

This was good. Nothing in particular stood out to me, but very solid record by a classic band.

Hell yeah. This shit rocks. A little over the top at points but overall just super fun and so heavy. Clearly so influential. The organ playing is awesome. The playing is sick on all fronts. Can I just go on a quick tangent. I know that Led Zeppelin has an iconic style, but they get too much credit for this kind of music. I'm sure we'll have to listen to Led Zeppelin I at some point so I'll keep it short but damn. In Rock came out the year after Led Zeppelin I, but it has an originality and freshness that is totally lacking from significant portions of LZI. I love "Good Times Bad Times," but nothing on In Rock is nearly as embarrassing (or exploitative) as the lifted blues numbers and random tabla song on that record. I'm gonna go on another tangent because Ian Paice's drumming on this album is awesome. I know that John Bonham is an important and influential drummer. His feel is legendary. I dream of having as much finesse as him on the kick pedal. But he gets WAY too much credit for this type of drumming. Ian Paice and Bill Ward of Black Sabbath are easily on the same level. And they were both playing more original music in 1970 than Bonham. 3.5

Shoutout to that one guy in high school who I told to go listen to this album and he proceeded to get into Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Dio, and like all the other iterations of Deep Purple. Like idk. Their extended catalog isn’t that prolific, and this is really their peak. Deep Purple II is the classic lineup for a reason. God I forgot how awesome this album is. Rock music firing on all cylinders fr. So funny a bunch of Brits did a Mount Rushmore album art spoof. But I digress. Child in Time is an all-timer. Great riffs. Immaculate vocals. Idk. Just great rock music

i literally don't care bro alternate review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnLs19iXEWg

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.

like yeah, need a beer and to let loose. but yeah

It's Rock Music

Mega coole riffs am start!

I enjoyed this hard rock/metal album from Deep Purple! I still remember playing “Smoke on the Water” on Guitar Hero as a kid, those were good times and introduced me to some legendary songs and bands at a young age. I’d never listened to a full album by Deep Purple but I had a great time and I would listen to this again in the future.

If Led Zeppelin set the stage for metal, and Black Sabbath birthed it, this feels like the zygote. I imagine that's why this shows up here… it represents an under-appreciated genre link, a forgotten ancestor, and also represents the pinnacle of the great Deep Purple tradition of stupid album covers. It's honestly not super memorable taken out of context, but I think it deserves a relisten despite being pretty firmly 3*

Why are there so many Deep Purple albums on this list?

Hadn't heard this one before getting it on the list. This is really a classic - imagine that it's 1969. Can you think of anything that sounded this heavy on vinyl? Deep Purple did a great job attempting to replicate their live sound here in the studio. I'm not the biggest fan of Ian Gillan, but he does sound pretty confident here. Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord (on guitar and keys respectively) are ON FIRE here. "Child in Time" is one of the greatest hard rock tracks ever and is the main reason that it's worth sticking around. I think it's a bit dated overall, however. Definitely gets bonus points for production and historical significance for the development of heavy metal. 4 stars for the fans, but for me, 3 stars.

I like my dad so by proxy i like this. 3/5

precisely okay to my ear. it's an early defining record for heavy metal as you can hear a lot of early DNA within this, but i never really connected with it. it's just... fine. it feels very 60s/70s in construction and atmosphere so it's interesting from a historical perspective at least. i don't really know why i bounced off this because even after two listens it was an album that was rarely more than just There. the organ is admittedly pretty fun and is mostly what brings this up i think since otherwise this would all blend together compared to something that at least has its moments. for that reason alone, major props to jon lord who is balling out across the whole album.

Yeah, I can see where Spinal Tap gets it from now. This is the daddest of dad rock, but damn, do I love the Organ as an instrument. I can see two sides of this album: The first is the overly-grandiose self indulgence and cliche driven excess of a lot of 70s rock I do not like; the other half is incredible use of instruments and a psychedelic atmosphere. It's like a Bridge between Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin. I... really quite enjoyed that! Some songs go on for too long without doing enough (Child in Time) and the lyrics are almost an unintentional parody of the genre, but I can't deny its charm.

I'm becoming an old caveman dad rocker. Really enjoyed this - nice organ, thumping drums, guitar solos and bonkers vocals. The middle of Child in Time is particularly great (my view may be coloured by how much its been used in film/tv)

Deep Purple in Rock Child in Time is a brilliant bit of hokum, and probably the only time when the bombast of the music and their silly pretentiousness creates a sense of dramatic interest. Otherwise it generally either feels more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap, the organ solo in Speed Master is pure Viv Savage for example, or its feels more Kula Shaker than Kula Shaker, particularly on Flight of the Rat. It’s by no means a bad album, and its unintentional silliness is fun, but I don’t think it will bear a great deal of repeat listening, so I’ll go for a high 2. 🟣🟣 Playlist submission: Child in Time

"You said you were a virgin, full of promise and mystery". Classic 70s rock lyrics. It was different back then. The progenitors of stadium hard-rock no doubt, this album influenced Bruce Dickinson and you can see why. Although this has so much more soul than Iron Maiden - it's given more warmth by its musical layers (psychedelic sounding organ as well as guitars), but also riffs more centred in amped up blues-rock which gives it a certain power, like the big 'Speed King' riff. And Deep Purple's strength is coming up with excellent riffs and hooks. Add to this of course, one of the great vocalists of the genre in Gillan, who can gravitate from hard rock vocal to a falsettoed prog rock and you've got a certain melodrama that remains over the top but enjoyable. 'Child in Time' is the outstanding masterpiece. All the Purple albums reviewed fall in the same bracket. Some superb stuff, quite a bit of needless protraction, but a supremely talented band with a skill for writing strong hooks. And in fairness this does come in at a little over 40 minutes. Welcome me to Dadsville and consider it a four.

Es como un rock pesadito, pero instrumental. No es el tipo de música que me gusta, pero la verdad es que estuvo de fondo y no me molestaba, si quizás no es la música que elegiría para tener de fondo, pero no me parece mal. 6/10

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

Very good album, it's raw, it's powerful and it gives you the energy to drive and do everything. Guitar work is wonderful, vocals are insane. Just an overall great hard rock album.

3.5 if i could

Good metal but not great netal

Pretty solid heavy metal, opener rips but it's mostly a band finding their sound

I know I got a live album from them last year that should have told me otherwise already, but I still think of Deep Purple just as the corny band behind "Smoke on the Water". This, on the other hand, is absolutely insane! Typically I end up feeling like early heavy metal feels pretty tame to modern ears, but no, I can still totally hear just how this must have felt to hear in 1970. The songs themselves are just alright, but that *sound*!

Familiar with band but this just didn't grab me

5 stars! What else? An absolute classic!

This is an iconic lineup for Deep Purple. Iconic record as well, everyone in their prime. Ritchie Blackmore playong that guitar so classy, and Ian Gillian easily being one of the best singers of those times. This record is incredibly good, and a big influence for the metal bands that were to come.

This was fine. I liked some of the more progressive moments, like Child in Time, but found much of the rest to be, well, fine.

Not too bad but also generic dad rock.

Thick, succulent, dense rock music. Heavier than I remembered. Great riffing, but the songs are way too long. This would have easily been a 4 star album if they had only shown a bit of restraint from the self-indulgent noodling.

me gustó el disco. pero poco más que agregar la verdad. por decir algo, me atrapó desde el primer tema (o la intro a mi criterio) y se siente la continuidad entre canción y canción

Not quite my jam. The psychedelic stuff was more fun, but this leaned a lot towards stadium rock/hair metal of the 70s/80s which I do not particularly enjoy. Not terrible, but I would not listen again

So now I see where Rob Reiner got the idea for Spinal Tap. This album was way too cliché - it covers all the items on why I don't think much of the hard/metal bands. I didn't hate it but just kind of shook my head at the bombast. The Mark II lineup just doesn't do much for me. Now if Mark IV album was on this list instead of all Mark II albums, I would be happier. RIP Tommy Bolin

I don't care for deep purple that much, not my thing

Sejt nok, men det er ikke lige mine ting med den der hårde guitar og orgel

I feel like it's not that special. I did not finish it. It just seemed okay. Maybe it's praised because they were the first to sound like that. I didn't feel for it.

Over the top rock awesomeness! No letting up on this one

43 minutes of solid rock. Vocally the melodic singing is good however the intense screams are not for me personally. However that was more than made up for on this rock album with the fast searing guitar solos and hard hitting riffs. This rock album as certainly stood the test of time and needed playing at full volume (not sure if it was my safest day using a saw bench listening to this album!) Best track on the album was child in time- the slow build up, the amazing solos and the fast paced finish brought such joy! Overall a very solid 8/10

In Rock "Good Golly" indeed! Intro to Speed King hits like a freight train and clears your head of any preconceptions of what is to come (can't believe this was thought to be too much for US listeners and was cut). Having known this album for several decades it had totally passed me by how much jazz influences these compositions, as opposed to the blues derived roots of their contemporary rock peers. Blackmore and Lord constantly trading improvisation, in turn goading each other into more elaborate and explorative solo, while Paice drums with a intricate, unassuming elegance. No one ever beat Gillan at the rock vocal and Glover ties it all together solid and unshakeable. Rock, jazz, proto-glam, even funk at times. This is the finest collection of songs they put together. Most fave track - Flight of the Rat Least fave - Living Wreck. 9/10

You need to be in the right mood for this album. It’s powerful, intense, but can at times it can just be awful cacophony, screeching, repetitive bars to make you go insane (I’m looking at the keyboards and synth on Hard Lovin’ Man here). PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING YOURSELF INTO. Ian Gillan undoubtedly has a great voice and some of these songs are great, I tended to prefer the beginning to the breakdown chaos of the end, but hey maybe if I wasn’t a regular city commuter trying to bring peace into my morning routine as I listen and instead a punk cruising down a coastal highway with a cigarette over my window I would be totally in the mood for this.

Perfectly fine but not my thing. Far too many boring guitar solos.

I can’t put my finger on why deep purple the st was so much better and mind blowing than this was for me and I think it’s just because I really would rather be listening to this new Prince daddy album that just came out and I had to get through this to get back to it. It’s great metal guitar music, heavy and fun. I’ll probably have to come back to it to give it a more fair shake but 4 seems fair.

I listened to this years ago. Child in Time stands as a song i really love, even if I never listen to it (mainly cause i forget it exists). I didn't expect to like it as much, tho. A very well put together album. Aggressive, but experimental. Blunt, but emotional. A bit more variety would help, but still i liked it a lot.

Hard nope

Hate it. Too much rock.

Speed king - 2/5 Bloodsucker - 2/5 Child in time - 5/5 Flight of the rat - 4/5 Into the fire - 3/5 Living wreck - 4/5 Hard lovin man - 4/5

i like this one more than Machine Head tbh. one of the earlier boomer rock bands i could fully appreciate. among the first albums that truly sound like the 70s, to my ears at least. Speed King and Child in Time are pretty awesome. deserves to be one of the 1001? ehhh

O bom e velho roque

Vhg

A écouter en entier, un peu trop rock pour écouter ça en groupe

loved

Si, suena medio como rock genérico (wohoo esto es roock rock rock, como diría la radio). Pero tampoco molesta su existencia.

Probably great when it came out

Bluesy, with some excellent solos. I had a lot of fun.

Not listened

Pretty alright. Flight of the Rat was my stand out. Not a lot else did tho. 4.5/10

First time actually listening to a Deep Purple album. The overall sound is good but why do most songs here sound so similar. Still, quite cool 3/5

Dug the music, didn't care for the vocals much.

It's fine.

Fain

didn't listen - just can't w deep purple - giving a symbolic 2

50 % genius (the guitars), 50% parody (vocals/lyrics - really?). 100% ridiculous. Ill stick with Space Trucker thank you very much. At least that song keeps it under 5 min.

I can see the connection to Led Zeppelin and other rock bands of the early 70's, but I'm not as into Deep Purple. The singer is a little too screechy and I'm not getting into their melodies.

Someone heard Black Sabbath and was like "what if this had more moog?" Not entirely a bad instinct. I didn't like this nearly as much as Sabbath's early albums, but it scratches a bit of that same itch. Low 4.

Songs would get almost kind of funky, bluesy and fun - and then that dude would start screeching like his nuts were caught in his zipper and I couldn't hang.

This album is the gold standard for Hard Rock.

The first two Deep Purple albums featuring the Mark I line-up were far from bad. With their blend of psychedelic, progressive, and hard rock, they showcased the virtuosity of Blackmore and Lord, offering a highly distinctive sound right from the start. The classic Mark II line-up — Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice — made its debut with "Concerto for Group and Orchestra" and once again expanded the band's sound, partly thanks to the charismatic Ian Gillan on vocals and partly because the band were now confident enough to leave the boundaries of the genre behind. It is perhaps therefore not so surprising that the Mark II line-up's debut studio album, "Deep Purple in Rock", virtually defined and revolutionised the hard rock genre. From then on, this album (and the subsequent Mark II albums) became synonymous with hard rock. At the same time, with their solo escapades, Blackmore and Lord took their musical rivalry to absurd heights, adding influences from classical music and progressive rock to ‘pure’ hard rock with their virtuosity. The result remains stunning: "Deep Purple in Rock" is a (pun intended) rock music classic set in rocks err stone.

Disappointing album, not at all what Deep Purple we’re about. Lacked groove.

Marvelous.

Hard rockers

It's not my thing. The singer screams too much in the songs for me, and I just don't see myself vibing with the music. The songs are too long and too repetitive for me, and the screaming is something I can't really get over. It's not even the metal or punk kind of scream singing, which I have an appeal for. The guitar solos are nice, but they happen so often I feel like they're not special, and it makes me appreciate the less. I wouldn't listen again, but I understand how other people would like it though, I'm not here to yuck someone else's yum.

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

Second deep purple album I've listened to on this list and I'm just as blown away as when I listened to the first. So much dedication towards creating a musically chaotic album

a bit too led zeppelinny for me, and not in a good way

Very proggy in places this offering from DP. Still a very listenable album

Not my thing but not bad at all!

I only knew these guys as the "Smoke On the Water". Now I know why. 42 minutes of uninspired rock. "Child In Time" wasn't too bad tho

I mean, it's the same bass line but it's fun

it was ok but nothing surprising. just pretty good dad rock

Surprisingly good!

No soy muy fan de la música instrumental, ya lo decidí

Good but not my favourite.

Me pareció interesante escuchar los orígenes del metal, me gustó mucho la batería y muy buenos riffs La voz no es mi favorita Me parece que algunos temas son muy largos, pero tienen muy buenas partes.

First if all, if we're going to do a Mount Rushmore parallel, make sure to only have four band members. The album cover already irritated me this morning. Then, I remembered this was Deep Purple, a band with killer riffs, long, soothing rock ballads, and just an overall fun 1970s Classic Rock vibe. It's all good now. Favorite Track: "Child In Time".

Pretty boring... A lasting feeling that the songs were made on improv' and never improved. Child in Time is great at first, but the solo just ruins everything. It serves no purpose, breaks the rhythm, the mood, everything, for 2:30 minutes before getting back to the song. This solo is like putting add for another track inside Child in Time. Perchance. Exception of the album, Black Night was really great.

5/10 Best songs: Child in Time Just another 70s heavy rock band. I have no strong feelings about this album. It's repetitive, not much stands out, but it's not actively bad. It is very clear that this was a big influence on later metal bands, which is cool.

no more rock please.

Good album. I really enjoyed most of the songs. However, I don't like the screaming of Ian Gillan...so this is one of the main reasons why this is not getting 5 stars.

I see classic Purple and it's a 5.

Best Purple album by a mile. Bonus points for Child in Time being a major influence for Rob Halford.

it;s alright for the most part. Pretty nice but not outstanding for my taste.

Band that I know of, and album which I have definitely listened to before. From the intro, you know what you're going to get and it is a good dad rock ol time. Loving the selection of instruments and solos. Thought I would enjoy but not really enjoy as dad rock is a weird genre for me, but 3 songs I was having a good time but then it all became a bit samey and bit predictable. It's okay to listen to as background 'dad rock' music, but the interest dies out once you stop being enamoured by solos and lack of substance.

Great riffs, rocks hard. More organ than I was expecting. The long songs don't always keep me hooked in the whole time.

Enjoyable, a bit repetitive, but I love the energy and the classic rock sound

I'm becoming a bit obsessed w early metal

One of those albums where you can tell how talented the band are and that's allowing them to push the envelope a bit. First song in particular was brilliant, really hits you straight away. There were interesting bits most of the way through too. I would say it's firmly rooted in classic rock in a way that even though this is a great example, it needs to be led zep levels to properly stand out. Still a 4 though.

Appreciated the long breakdowns, Child in Time and Flight of the Rat are the top tracks.

Yeah that's classic British 70s rock. I thought machine head was better than this, but this was decent too. Nothing too surprising and gets a little samey, but it's good 3.5

Whooo boy what an excellent surprise here....everyone loves smoke on the water but I had no idea how influential to the later metal scene these guys clearly were. Great stuff.

The best song on the 'album' - Black Night - unfortunately wasn't actually on it.

Really fun album! At first, I thought they would've made the ridiculous length of the songs work, but yea I was wrong. The guitar solos are INSANE and the energy is immaculate. Decent variety despite the fact that these kind of albums and bands usually have really similar songs. It wasn't anything insanely special, but I had a blast listening to it so I think it deserves 4 stars. Lowkey makes me want to explore 70's rock more.

Tuvieron su momento Deep purple. Ahora está superado.

Escuchando haciendo aseo fue bastante motivador de alguna manera jajdkd. Bastante bueno pero no es todo mi gusto de rock, recomendado para escuchar con tu padre o alguien amante del rock.

Bloodsucker stood out. Child in Time was a wild ride. This is a great album 4/5
