Customer Reviews

Perfect Purple
You know, I'm kind of a casual Purple fan. I own maybe 6 or 8 of their albums, and I like them all well enough. Richie Blackmore is, of course, a true guitar god - I've been playing for 25 years and he is just as good as they come. But I've never been passionate about DP. Except for this album. This is just as catchy rock and roll gets, and IMO is about the only album that ranks up there with Machine Head. The feel is less 'see what badass musicians we are' and more 'here's a catchy rocker for you.' The result is stunning, and I have no idea why anybody would think this isn't one of the best rock and roll albums ever. Although I've heard other Joe Lynn Turner songs where I wasn't impressed with his singing, here it is picture perfect. This is one of the few (out of hundreds) of my albums that I take out and listen to all the way through regularly. Do yourself a favor - buy this album, pretend that you've never heard of Ian Gillan's Deep Purple, and rock out!

Whatever they say! It is a great album
Being a Deep Purple fan for more than 25 years, I must agree with all the other reviewers that this is an underrated album for Deep Purple. From my point of view, Joe Lynn Turner did a superb job with the vocals, songs like 'King of Dreams', 'Love conquers all' is nothing but Deep Purple; with Blackmore and Lord fantastic musical contribution. I would say that my favourite song is the 'The cut runs deep', inspite the fact that it is hard to pick one particular song from these great collection of songs.

The overall album is better than the 'House of Blue light'and I would think that was because of the tension of few members which was obvious in the songwriting and ended by Gillan leaving.

It is a must for Deep Purple fans, from my point of view.

EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
I'm very upset to see that people call this album just allright. This is such a wonderful album. This album contains Joe Lynn Turner on vocals, surprising to see as he was RAINBOW's lead singer. With Joe Lynn on vocals it reminds me more of Rainbow than Purple but still an excellant Purple album. The openeing track, KING OF DREAMS, was at the time of release in 1990, a very radio friendly song. I can't say anything bad about any track on this album. I found this album much better than THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT. I would still suggest the purchase of THE HOUSE, but this is an album worth the purchase. The mellowist song on here is LOVE CONQUERS ALL, but is almost the best song on this album. If I had to chose the best song on this album, I would have the biggest problem with doing so, but would have to chose TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH. The album consists of the normal brilliant guitar work by none other than Ritchie Blackmore. The organ/keyboard work of Jon Lord, well what can I say, is excellant. This is a worth while album to purchase and I strongly suggest doing so before you will be unable to do.
