Customer Reviews:

A great under-rated album.......2006-10-22

I've had this album, since it was released, and was just listening to it recently (October 2006), so my review is not just based on the pleasure of a first listen.

I was impressed with this album when it was initially released, and remain so to this day. From a guitar point of view, it's probably the last album where Blackmore was given a free rein, and I enjoy his work on this.

As far as songwriting goes, my favourite track, would have to be "Fire in the Basement", I would love to see how that worked out live. I really get the feeling, it would be an equal to "Lazy".

I have to acknowledge those who refuse to credit this as a Deep Purple album, and refer it it as Rainbow. I find this hard to understand, given that the Ian Gillan Band been releasing product under the Deep Purple brand for how many years now?

Ugh.......2006-06-14

Deep Purple NEVER made a bad album until this trainwreck. According to an interview with Joe Lynn Turner:

"It's a shame. Some members may got jealous to RB, me and Jim Peatric who were recreating Deep Purple sound."

Yeah, these guys recreated Deep Purple to sound like every other generic 80's power ballad band. Thanks alot Joe Lynn Turner, you ruined a perfect career. The only positive part of this album that gives it two starts is some of the playing from Ritchie and Jon.

Purple People Eater :Turner Sucks.......2005-12-04

Lynn Turner really started to get on my nerves at about "Bent out of Shape" and to think that he would replace one of my favorite all time singers was insane. Most of all was the girly man defiant of having to replace Gillan he said he wouldn't that he was gonna make his own legacy. Yeah just like the Hoax, his legacy is that he was a poor replacement and we have "Bent out..." part II. Weak , though a shame.
King of Dreams is Good and all play well but Turner really sucks now ,here and always

Not bad. Not great, but not awful, even though it sounds a lot like a Rainbow album.......2005-08-04

Well, during the tour for the last album, the Ian Gillan/Ritchie Blackmore feud caused Gillan to leave again. The band carried on with Ritchie bringing in former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner for this album. It's nowhere near the greatest, but there are some really stellar tracks here (Fire in the Basement, King of Dreams), along with some absolute drek, too (Breakfast in Bed, the worst Purple song ever).

About the only thing that saves this from being a Rainbow album is the presence of Jon Lord. I'd buy other Purple before this one, but it's not as awful as some folks would have you believe.

Hmm..........2005-01-23

I feel really sorry for all these one-track minded poor people out there, who are bashing so hard on this album, just because it doesn't sound like DP some 15-20 years earlier. For you guys maybe "Deep Purple = Machine head" and nothing else matters. Ask yourselves now whether you're one of these people. Well, if DP wanted to sound like they did during the early 70s, they would do it. Personaly I like the first line up (with Rod Evens) AND the Slaves And Masters album, especially the only song that Joe Linn Turner wrote for the album "TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH", is the best DP song for me ever. I've been listening to DP since a child, for more than 20 years and I own the whole DP and Rainbow discography, together with over 1200 other albums, I listen to alot of music almost every day, and I do my second year as a "Musical Arts" student (bass guitar), so believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Yes, and I like the 74-75 albums with David Coverdale more than Mahine head. Don't you ever get tired of listening to Smoke on the water? I would agree with everyone who says this album is not like mk2 DP, but I would NOT agree that this album is in any way worse than any other DP album. It's a pleasure giving album, and "Too much is not enough" just rocks with its groovy mood.
