Steevo Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 ^ Really?? Ah well, eye of the beholder I guess...just love that kind of simplicity, the colours on PS look so classy to me. So you don't like Burn and Stormbringer and In Rock!?? You can't beat those covers! Of course I like ém, those three are great as well, especially Stormbringer, holy shit! :hail: :hail: :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Ok I have my DELUXE edition copy! This album sounds a lot better than I expected! :haz: I've only heard the first three tracks so far but they all sound great. Good old school production from Bob Ezrin, with all the proper dynamics but still nice and powerful, and no brick wall effect! I'm now on "Hell to Pay" which sounds good if a little familiar.

treeduck Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 ^ Good. I'll try and get to it by the end of the week. I'm on track 6 and every song is good so far. This sounds a lot better than the preview versions of tracks we got, like the radio edit of one song. This is certainly the best Purple album since Purpendicular. The last album was pretty good if a bit samey, but this one has a lot of flavours, a little eastern exotic here, a little bluesy there, a little bit of this and that. The track I'm on now is a bluesy one, "Blood from a Stone", track 7, which erupts into full blown hard rock in the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few more listens of that I think it's gonna be pure win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I really like are the production/keyboard orchestrations on certain tracks, they really give the album an extra layer and another level in quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nope. Not in any store. Looks like an online order for me. No wonder they only sold 4,000 copies in the U.S. the first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I've only heard a couple of tracks but they were pretty ordinary. I don't think I'll get this one. I'll listen to a few more of the songs online first before I decide for certain. Shame because I like vintage DP alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a quality production agreed, just not so sold on it overall as I was hoping. My two clear winners are Uncommon Man and All the Time in the World. I'm not sure I will gain much more from this one. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I will say that I love Bob Ezrin as a producer. He is often responsible for incredible sounding albums, whether the artist delivers the tunes or not. Every band should work with that guy at least once. Yes, I'm insinuating that he should produce Rush. Edited May 15, 2013 by Presto-digitation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toscanobarga Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I like this album a lot, more than any Purple album in a long time. As with almost everyone in the CD-era it's too long, adding more songs in the name of "value" isn't always a good thing. 4/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Haven´t heard the full album yet, but Vincent Price sounds better than th first tracks that came out. And speaking of Deep Purple, I decided to check out Bananas, which I´d never heard a single track off before. Not the best DP album I´ve ever heard, but there are some great tracks there: Picture of Innocence, I´ve Got Your Number, Haunted, Silver Tongue etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I've always liked slutty nuns! That nun was just the hot chick in a sexy outfit though! I'm not sure why they had a nun in it though, I don't think I've seen a nun in a Vincent Price flick?
