Made In Japan

overlong live album . no thank you.

Your common or garden hard rock, complete with 10 minute drum solo zzzzzzzzz

Too much boomer rock. Who gives a shit.

I don't understand how this live album even got on the list. I may not be Deep Purple's biggest fan, but I do enjoy some of their music—to a certain degree. This was exhausting to sit through, and I only made it through seven songs, I did not listen to the deluxe version (which has three versions of Black Night and two of Speed King for some reason?). Anyway, my point is—this is clearly an album for the most devoted fans of the band, and good for them! As someone who enjoys Deep Purple on a very shallow level, I found the ever-present long instrumental breaks exhausting. I forgot which song I was listening to as it all bled together into one big mush of over-indulgent guitar solos and annoyingly loud drums. When we did hear the vocalist sing it was at times decent, but the occasional shouting and squealing took me out of the experience even more. I did not expect I'd be giving my first one star rating to a Deep Purple album, but here goes. I'd actually give it 1.5 star if I could 'cause occasionally, when we do hear the actual song and some good vocal performance, it's not that bad (but it makes for about 10% of the album).

If you enjoy noise, not music

Fuck live albums

Noise. Sounds like they’d just discovered a drum kit and were intent on playing it as loud as possible. 3/10

Probably wouldn't mind a lot of this if it wasn't these insanely long live versions. Way too long and drawn out and way too much screaming. I'm also not into the scream singing, it's just giving me a headache.

i couldnt force myself past the 5th track. And i feel like i endured enough to make me put on a Minor Threat record as a cleanser

This album had a classic (Smoke on the water) but the rest sounded the same as every 70's/80's hair band.

Not a live album fan

my will to go on with this slowly decreases with every goddamn live album. good songs but theres no reason for all this and i DO in fact want to kms now thank you so much for nothing pls just make the song a normal lenfth nobody wanted the extended versions i hace never wanted to die more in my life please make it stop PLEASE

Way too long for someone who isn’t already a fan. Some of the songs were pretty good but listening to Black Night 3 times kind of takes away from it

Fuck you

There are other albums that deserve a place on this list. I'm ok with Deep Purple, but this album is too long and has songs that another album on this very list has too. It is already hard to make a case for live albums on this list and the only thing I know for sure is that this isn't it.

Heinous

Oh god, I listened to this blindly in my Streaming player, and it was so not Deep Purple - it turns out that Deep Forest also released an album called 'Made in Japan' - the styles are quite different. I can't get into deep purple. I just can't. I tried. I listened. I parsed lyrics. I felt the vibe and the energy. Nope, I just can't. Bring back Deep Forest! Bye Bye Deep Purple. 1 star.

Sounds like banging on the drums with no beat, turn the guitar amp up as loud as possible and randomly strum it and scream into the mic as loud as possible, all independently from each other

Other than the occasional sweet guitar solo, terrible.

Not for me.

it's ok

how fast can you do meth and a line of coke at the same time and then say hold my needle watch this. thats the vibes with this

I wonder if attention spans are getting shorter. Maybe twenty years ago I could have listened to this album without wondering a) if the track will ever end? b) are the band playing for themselves or the audience? c) who likes this noodling? and d) will the track ever end? This just doesn't hold my attention. It feels bloated and it's like the musicians are individuals rather than a group. There are amazing "long" tracks that hold my attention - Ain't it Funky by Grant Green, The Trench Coat Museum by Yard Act and Papa Was A Rolling Stone by The Temptations as examples. Let's hope the next album is better.......

This is the kind of live show I hate. Unnecessarily stringing out pretty much every song for no reason other than to needlessly noodle. The Mule and Strange Kind of Reason were the worst offenders. I don't need a 5 minute drum solo ever.

Pointless, why is this here. So long, such a mediocre recording.

My head hurts from banging it on my laptop, not because I enjoyed it but because I was trying to make it stop! There is not one song that is worthy of a comment. I will say that I think they destroyed any chance that I can ever enjoy listening to Lucille ever again. Ugh! Favorite Song: ?

Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, it's Deep Purple... LIVE! It's like Zeppelin, but without the guardrails. Jam bands of the world shutter in fear of this wildly arrogant display of skill and directionless blues rock music. But seriously, I felt like I was losing my mind during some of these songs (The Mule sounds like my neighbour when he gets high and beats his skins for 10 minutes). Also the vocal/guitar call and response on Strange Kind of Woman will haunt my dreams. It verges on fun, but never stays there long.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should." A live album so dumb, so indulgent, so pyrotechnical it is almost transcendent. Almost. I was waiting for mini-Stonehenge to descend from the ceiling. I have never felt so much whiplash between thinking "Good grief! This is entertaining!" and "Good grief! When will it end?!" And then there was "Space Truckin"... I guess when your shortest song is 7 minutes, you better go for it with the 19-minute grand finale. Y'know, I bet this would have been a fun live show. Do I feel like my life has been enriched by hearing this record? Not really.

it sounds like someones dad has a band. Not for me. 1 star.

Glam rock shit

there was an organ solo around 1:04 that i liked quite a bit, but that was one of the few high points on this album. the version of "Smoke on the Water" somehow eliminated all the parts of that song that i like. the drum solos, guitar solos, wailing vocal solos ... the vocals in general ... just added up to an unlistenable, rambling listening experience. i don't think the obvious musicianship outscores my dislike of listening to this album. i'm giving it a 1.5 and rounding it down to a 1.

One thing I really like about this album is that we got punk music as a response to all of the meandering guitar solo jams of the era. I guess another thing I like is the memetic nature of Smoke on the Water. And it has an end, which is nice.

Alright, not my favorite live album. I love a good jam but wayyy too jammy and not very good jams at that. 2/10

Vonandi var boðið upp á áfallahjálp eftir þessa tónleika.

Mér er til efs að það sé til leiðinlegri plata. Ekki nokkur leið að hlusta á þetta í gegn.

I hate live albums

This album was really hard to listen to. I made it through the first album and most of the second, but I had to skip ahead in 2-3 songs when I just couldn't take the excessive drum solos or obnoxious screaming.

Stop with the double-long, 60s & 70s rock, double disk jam session albums already!! I know nothing about Deep Purple, but this doesn't make me want to know more. Just give us a good studio album, list makers.

It’s just noise.

Didn’t listen all the way through. Not for me.

yeah brother, true music hell yeah. Anyway why was this album on this list. Why was any live album on this list? I regret listening to any of these songs, while they may be average/decent they sound like shit cuz it's recorded from a live concert with a shitty wallmart mic. "But you gotta feel the atmosphere to appreciate it, hurr durr", bro no. KISS (god i hate that band) tried to put out live album cuz nobody wanted to buy their studio-recorded albums cuz they weren't blackout drunk in the middle of crowd and realised that their music is garabage. Did Deep Purple think the same? IDK, either way this album blows

Didn't get into it. 1/5

Terningkast 1 pga livealbum

Deep Purple has always seemed like a "had to be there" band to me. "Made In Japan" is an odd choice to include in this list, as live albums are generally for preexisting enjoyers. That said, Ian Gillan's live vocals and embellishments are something to behold. At the end of my life, I may wish those minutes spent listening to the drum solos in "The Mule" and "Space Truckin'" had been spent with better economy, by instead speaking with loved ones or taking in nature.

I don't understand why this is on the list but Machine Head is not, since it's pretty much the same tracklist. A 20 minute version of Space Truckin' is wildly unnecessary.

downloaded first 2 songs and then the album lost my attention at 7. idc enough to continue

Hate this with a burning passion.

Child in time 👍

Worse than Aerosmith. The first track is pretty rockin but "Child In Time" has too much guitar noodling, bad vocals, and the lyric "I want to be inside of you." Dumb lyrics continue on Smoke On The Water which also includes some Clapton-esque guitar chugging. Once that ends you are treated to a dull drum solo. This is the closest I have come to skipping a track in the over 300 albums I've listened to in this project so far. There is a part in the middle of "Strange Kind of Woman" where a guitar is trading licks with someone making dumb mouth noises. That is the exact moment I decided to give this record one star. "Lazy" includes some harp that gives me major "Honkin On Bobo" douche chills. This sucks.

Not terrible, a bit jam and a bit heavy

I know this isn't a one star album, but I don't understand why exactly it's in here. Live albums can be cool, and DP are clearly a world class live act but I've heard a lot of these songs already in other albums on this list, and the audience clapping along drives me absolutely nuts. Would have been awesome to be there live and in person, but sadly this was a dud for me.

Not for me

No sé por qué hay discos en vivo aquí

I hated this album. it gets a 1. It deserves a 1. it has no business being on this list. it was so long and just a bad live album. i’m so pissed i had to waste time listening to this dog meat

I just hate live albums. They spend forever "playing" with the crowd with isn't fun to listen to. And there's only one good song, space truckers

Really really boring and a lot of instrument wankery. Would not recommend. Only Smoke on the Water was decent and even that went on way too long compared to the album version. Most boring dad rock I’ve ever had to listen to.

A band with such iconic albums released the most over the top corny solo filled borefest of a live album. The ratio of song to solo wankery is like 1:5. I'm not exaggerating. It's exhausting. Also, Black Night is on here THREE FUCKING TIMES. And Speed King is on here twice. Who decided that was a good idea? That adds up to 37 minutes and 45 seconds of TWO FUCKING SONGS.

I hate this brand of in-your-face, screeching guitars and vocals rawk n’ roll music. I mean, rock is my favorite genre, but not this.

This is the worst live album created. And yes I AM familiar with j.giles and Edgar winter. This is the most incoherent piece of garbage recorded. I'm a Phish/Dead fan and no stranger to live recordings and long jams. Even if there is some great musicianship, this album does nothing to lead us there or bring us back.

Live double album? Nope. Dope? Nope. Although I need it to get through the 7 songs and their 96 minute guitar solos.

If I had a nickel for every time I picked up my phone and went ‘oh god another 2 minutes’ I’d have 25cents. The solos were excessive, lyrics forgettable. WIL2IA? That’s a no from me dog The only thing I enjoyed about this was it made me want to go to Japan. Yes the mere fact that it was recorded there made me daydream about cherry blossoms, temples and ramen. Japan 2024 anyone in?

Not particularly interesting to me but I can see how it's a good live album

Blir så trött. Är det tredje eller fjärde Purpleplattan nu? Live dessutom. Låtar som aldrig tar slut.

Great show! However 1 star for live albums

15 year old me probably would have been really into this. 32 year old me just wants the 10 minute drum solos to end.

booooring

If the solos were so long it was like watching a horse having a never ending shit... basically a catchy riff and massive walk off solo. Not my bag hombre

I am so tired of getting live albums. The artist is able to choose from their best songs so obviously all the songs will be classics. On the other hand, the quality is always worse than the original and rarely feels more energetic. This live album is no different. There is absolutely no reason this album should be even considered for this list. The fact that it was included shakes my faith in this entire concept and has me questioning if I should even continue using this generator. Seriously, what classic rock-biased mf made this list? Love Deep Purple though, just bad score on the principal. 1/5

Tämähän menee vain livejammailuksi, joka saattais paikan päälläkin olla tylsää. Hitit sentään tulee alkuun, että saadaan kuuntelija lämpimäksi. En ihan saa kiinni?

It’s a live album

They can play but so dull !!!!!!

I tried but I could literally not get through this one. So painful to listen to. The excessive drum solo in the mule is where I called it quits.

All these songs are hella long. Strange kind of woman I liked cuz he was singing in it a little more plus I liked the lyrics but still way too long.

WOOOO A LIVE ALBUM!!!!!

Between the length and the fact that there they have other studio albums on this list, this seems totally unnecessary

This album proves that relativity exists because it's only an hour long but it feels like fucking six.

Terningkast 1 pga livealbum

Got as far as Smoke and bailed.

'Double live album' - refused to listen.

They actually had some decent stuff on their first couple of albums (Hush, Kentucky Woman, Hey Joe, River Deep Mountain High) then they started their metal nonsense. Screaming instead of vocals, stupid lyrics, juvenile guitar solos. Smoke on the Water is right up there with A Horse With No Name as the stupidest song ever recorded and that every bar band in the world played.

The only thing worse than a live album is a two hour live album.

Wiem, że ta opinia może niektórych oburzyć. Ale zastanawiałem się bardzo długo co temu wystawić. Ogólnie Deep Purple było mi raczej obojętne, parę kawałków na krzyż było dla mnie całkiem spoko. Starałem się bardzo podejść z otwartą głową do tego albumu, ale słuchanie tego było fizyczną i psychiczną nieprzyjemnością. Nie dość że album koncertowy, a powiedzmy sobie szczerze - koncertowe są zwykle dużo gorsze, to jeszcze z japońską publicznością, która nie dość że ma słabe wyczucie rytmu najwyraźniej, to jeszcze brzmi jakby tam było kilka osób na krzyż, i to niezbyt podekscytowanych. Do tego ma powtórzone te same piosenki, bo to jeszcze wersja Deluxe nie wiedzieć czemu. I jeszcze trwa nieco ponad 2 godziny... Ale to wszystko dałoby się jakoś znieść, gdyby tego się słuchało w miarę przyjemnie. Ale nie do końca wiadomo, czym to ma być. Ani to nie jest jakieś ciekawe eksperymentalnie, bo są lepsi, ani nie jest jakieś imponujące technicznie (choć to utalentowani muzycy), ani to chwytliwe (bo są setki bardziej słuchalnych zespołów z tego okresu). I wydaje mi się, że album się robi coraz gorszy, a to wycie wokalisty w jednej z piosenek już przelało czarę goryczy. Riffy są całkiem fajne czasem, ale są zepsute przez nudną dalszą melodię, dziwaczną strukturę albo (subiektywnie) nieprzyjemny wokal. Myślałem czy dać 2 czy 1, ale 2 dla mnie byłoby albumem, który jest słaby, ale nie mam nieprzyjemności z słuchania - a tutaj czekałem, aż to się skończy, żeby posłuchać cokolwiek innego.

Lyssnade inte

I did not enjoy this at all.

Same shit

sorry but boring

Listen, I like the album version of Highway Star. It's not trying to do anything deep; it just wants to be a face-melting metal classic, and it does it very well. It's fun. In this live rendition, however, all the joy and spirit they'd put into the recording is gone. This is a shell-less husk of a song, devoid of soul or enthusiasm—and this absence carries through the entire album. Because what we are listening to is not a band performing for a crowd. It is a band who has showed up for work. It's not difficult to believe that even the sections of endless guitar-wailing and drum solos are scripted, played the same way from show to show as the band autopilots its way through the tour. At one point following a song, the vocalist engages the crowd, but even this is lacking at first; you can actually perceive the moment he mentally reminds himself that the crowd wants him to scream at them, that he needs to give them energy to feed off of. Maybe it was one of those "you had to be there" kind of things, but nothing in this album is convincing me that going to see a band who is touring, playing the same show over and over for groups of people too large to comprehend, is the best way to experience music.

Awful.

October 21, 2021 I generally don't like live albums and this one was terrible. Over an hour of just noise.

My butthole hurt

Not a fan of live albums

For all its turgid music, tiresome soloing, semi-coherent lyrics and overall self-satisfied idiocy, it's amazing I don't hate this dogshit even more than I do. I thought events reached a nadir with the drum spot on 'The Mule', but Gillan's dipshit shrieking on 'Strange Kind of Woman' takes the fucking cake. Candidate for worst album shat forth from this app thus far.

I'll be honest, there are some days where I wish I didn't have to listen to an album just because the success rate has been so low. Today, I get to take that breather just the same way I did when they did this for the Who. Live albums don't belong on this list.

I care very little for this genre of music.

Terrible live album. Songs repeated from different nights, all licks from early century blues, not a single inventive melody sans smoke on the water. Why do bands introduce songs at concerts? Bad look.

It’s ok. Just not really the mood for me today. Too long

Deep Purple... La mitad de los temas los disfrutas si estás drogado y la otra mitad sólo los disfruta el que hace el "solo" de 5 minutos
