Title: More than a Decent Album
Review: I keep reading reviews of Rainbow albums as decent or average, which is an understatement. While Rainbow never reached the musical heights of Deep Purple, the band was, in it's own right, influential in creating the gothic hard rock sound that so many derivative 80's English metal bands embraced. I admit that I AM biased in Blackmore's favor, but that's because he is THAT good of a guitarist and quite underrated.Listen to each song, but don't waste your time on "If You Don't Love Rock and Roll," which elicits about as much emotion as watching lichens growing on rocks. However, "Man on the Silver Mountain" and "Self Portrait" are 70's metal classics.
Is the review positive or negative?
