Title: A huge disapointment
Product review: I am a big Deep Purple fan,but it is obvious that this album seemed rushed. From what I understand,it was around this time(1973)that Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore were at wit's end amongst each other,and it shows. The only track that stands out is "WOMAN FROM TOKYO". Songwriting has never been the strong suit of DP and this album as a whole obviously makes that clear if some of the other albums(however awesome they might have been)didnt quite glare it otherwise. If you need an example just check out "MARY LONG"(definitly their worst song!) Any track that opens with :"Mary Long is a hypocrite" and then has to spend the next lyric flatly defining what that means...well just listen to the song and that will sum up the inanity of this very disappointing album. If you are a big Purple fan like me though,it is worthy of buying to add to the library for the sake of completeness.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
