Made In Japan

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
