Title: Go Bananas instead!
Review: I just bought Lynyrd Skynyrd's latest album Vicious Cycle along with Deep Purple's latest album, Bananas (import) and couldn't have had a more one sided listening experience.Two of my favorite bands seem to be going in different directions and I`m not talking musical. I can't believe how boring Vicious Cycle is, the playing lacks spark and the songs simply aren't good or memorable. The arrangements are typical been there done that and Skynyrd just don't sound like their having fun! When the disc ended I knew I wouldn't be in a hurry to play it again any time soon.On the contrary, Deep Purple's new album is everything Skynyrd's isn't. Great songs, unbelievable performances and the band sound like they are having FUN! Plus, the running order of the album is just outstanding. I've played Bananas10 times as much as Skynyrd's latest.It's safe to say this is not Skynyrd's finest hour, but it might be Deep Purple`s.
