Slaves and Masters.......2006-09-27

Band Personnell:
Joe Lynn Turner - Vocals and Midfield
Ritchie Blackmore - Guitars and Winger
Roger Glover - Bass, Defender and Additional Keyboards
Ian Paice - Drums and Centre Forward
Jon Lord - Organs, Keyboards and String Arrangements

The only Deep purple album to feature former Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, this resulted that they needed much more instruments such as Winger and Defender, it's a good album but it doesn't fit onto the sound of Deep Purple, it sounds much more as a Rainbow (with Turner) album something many Deep Purple fans didn't appreciated, they wanted Gillan back, the same did Glover, Paice and Lord, so Blackmore had to kick Turner before they finished another album.

Not a Low Point, Just Different.......2006-07-08

I am amazed to see how many people rave about this album. Though there is no DP album I don't like, this one is low on my rating list of the 18 studio albums in the band's career. To say it sounds like Rainbow is fair enough as the line up includes three members from the final Rainbow line up (Blackmore, Turner and Glover). It's like Rainbow took a break while Joe Lynn Turner beefed up his vocals a bit and came back with the other DP boys. Ritchie Blackmore is still distinctive in his playing though the modern 'late 80s (1990)' guitar sound seems out of place for DP and more like Rainbow. The album has great potential with some good songs and catchy choruses. Jon Lord contributes some orchestral efforts with a string arrangement and intro for Love Conquers All, something I believe we haven't heard since 1969, and in a way it's a shame that string arrangements were just not as cool in 1990 as they were back in '69. Jon Lord could have done so much more, I am sure.

I have mixed feelings about this CD. There are definately songs I can enjoy but it's hard to consider them a part of the DP legacy. Along with Come Taste the Band (another very different DP album that I still like) this album is one that deviates greatly from the familiar DP sound. But then again, variety and experimentation are two things that Deep Purple have always worked towards.

It's interesting to note that for the most part the band members (other than Blackmore) in retrospect were not thrilled about firing Ian Gillan and doing an album with Joe Lynn Turner, and admit that Slaves and Masters doesn't sound like a Purple album.

Great Album.......2006-01-24

This is one of my favourite albums. Yes, it is Joe Lynn Turner on vocals, but I'm sorry I do like it. I am also a huge Rainbow fan. This album has a regular home in my glove box and now resides on my MP3 player!

better than perpendicular, hobl and tbro all together.......2005-12-07

i have all four of these cds and i can honestly say that i don't listen to any of them at all except for slaves and masters on a regular basis. yeah yeah, it's not ian gillan and yeah yeah it sounds like rainbow. fans are almost as bad as critics sometimes. makes me sick. hell, i think dp has come a long way with steve morse on abandon and banannas since perpindicular and has cememted his status as the guitarist of dp. give me jlt, ian gillian, coverdale any of them singing in this band any day over blackmore's yoko ono i've lost my mind and hang out with george lynch (act 2 of lynch mob, dokken shadowlife) when he's in a weird mood band. now that is absolute crap squared. king of dreams is still a great song fifteen years later and the overall cd is a classic that has been treated unfairly becasue it was released in the so called "80's" well, 1990 actually. good music is good music no matter what decade it was released in. hell, i love ten thousand fists just as much as piece of mind. why be shallow and stuck in the 80s, 60's or 70's? go visit and listen, come back and listen to new, and back again. too much is not enough is the only song that doesn't make my list on this otherwise great cd. a cover i think. done rambling

An album that should not have been.......2005-10-07

This one is a girly cd. It contains the girly man Turner on vocals. He always ranted about how he didn't want to emmulate Gillan. Well ,guess what "chimp"? you didn't. The Purple realized thar they were never a hair band and they fire his balzy ass. There are two good songs : "King of Drams" and "Wicked Ways" and Blackmore is good as always but Randy "Lynn" Turner just doesn't cut it he is probably doing Bon Jovi emmulations because Gillan is still rocking and she's still sulking.
