Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A mixed bagThe last of Deep Purple's seventies albums to feature Ritchie Blackmore, this album is an uneven effort. Blackmore himself has never liked the album and stated so at the time of the record's release. When he chooses to apply himself, as on the fiery title track and the ballad 'Soldier of Fortune', the results are excellent. However, he is hardly in evidence at all on other songs and while Jon Lord and Glenn Hughes do their best to rally the troops, they have an uphill struggle on such lacklustre material as 'Love Don't Mean a Thing' and 'Hold On' (the first Purple original to lack a writing credit for Blackmore). Elsewhere, Glenn Hughes' vocal on 'Holy Man' is entertaining and the funk of 'You Can't Do It Right' holds the attention, but as a ...

The massive mistake that was Glenn Hughes had destroyed the fire in the true artists in the band (Blackmore,Lord,Paice), so much so that Blackmore clearly cant be bothered on this album, and left, and Lord and Paice mearly go through the motions. A classic band destroyed by one man...very sad. Rating: - RubbishI am with Ritchie on this one. Not Deep Purple. Glenn Hughes was the biggest mistake that the band ever made. For me he was the beginning of the end, much more so than Tommy Bolin who was a consequence of Hughes joining the band. Blackmore was put way down in the mix,and the fact that he chose not to do anything about it shows what he thought of the band at the time and why he left. The worst Purple release ever? Rating: - Drizzle more likeI find previous reviews of this album largely perplexing. There's nothing wrong with a band varying their style and opinions are largely a matter of taste where a high standard of musicianship like this is concerned. After all, David Coverdale often reveals a penchant for the spiritual, soulful approach. What puzzles me is when a fan of an album like 'Machine Head' rates this the same. My feeling is that the older members of the band are going through the motions here, while the material is DP's blandest yet (I haven't heard their later albums). There are a couple of uptempo, though uninspired tracks, but most of the songs are taken at the same pedestrian pace. The only thing that lifts 'Stormbringer' out of the morass is the quality of the playing. ...

If it were released today it would still sound modern and fresh, a great record. |
