I've had this album for 36 years - it's the greatest fusion of blues and hard rock I've ever heard from a mainstream band even if the lyrics are somewhat dated and sexist - but then again being sexist (sexist Nigel, not sexy!) was a defining element of the genre. At the time I remember Blackmore being intervied in Melody Maker and promising that the next album would be "back to rock 'n' roll" because of the poor response at the time. Oh the benefit of hindsight - it sounds better today than most of "Machine Head"!

Sandwiched between 'In Rock' and 'Machine Head,' arguably DP's most popular studio albums, 'Fireball' is more ambitious than both, but not as good as either. Class will show, however, and it's still a great album. The title track stands out as a reminder of what the band do best, namely high-tempo hard rock. Thereafter, they probe a surprising array of styles. 'No No No' is a mid-paced song, which Ian Gillan's vocal enlivens.
'Demon's Eye' is stronger, a suitably malevolent slice of hard rock. 'Anyone's Daughter' is the big surprise, sounding like the something you'd hear on Bob Dylan's 'Bringing It All Back Home,' complete with amusing lyric. I like this song, though it doesn't sound as if it belongs here. 'The Mule' is a minor masterpiece, ... Read More:

I dont want to get into a debate about which album is the best , but to me hearing Fireball remastered this is their best, obviously following `In rock` was no mean feat! Fireball has it all , my favourites are No one came, The mule, Fools, Demons eye, and the extra`s, Slow train, and Freedom .There is a loose but tight jammy feel that makes me think certain songs kinda just happened and progressed in the studio. overall a job well done. No one came for miles around and said man `who`s he`!,now wheres my Robin Hood outfit?.

If you like Deep Purple but don't own Fireball, you are in for a real treat. This album is a hard rock masterpiece and Ian Gillan would totally agree with me. It's a shame that Fireball has been kind of forgotten about, it clearly holds up against In Rock and Machine Head. One nice thing about this album is, besides the great material, you won't be sick of ANY of the songs, because "classic rock" radio ignores this great stuff, just blows me away.
Anyhow, if you're just starting to collect their albums, maybe you already have Machine Head, this one won't disappoint. One of the great hard rock albums of the seventies.
Highlights: Fireball, Strange Kind of Woman, Anyone's Daughter, Fools and No One Came.

Doro heavy before it becomes it is a felt only album, and in CD with the number ..Deep Purple.., the hand is an expanding album in a refreshing healthy drink since the "Machine Head", sound. It is not a forcible, free sound the "In Rock", there is weight like hardening of lead with high density, and I think that I will be drawn in to gravitation. Especially, the bass was emphasized, and I think that the rhythm of the undulating base decides and puts a heavy impression of this album.
