Album Notes & Community Reviews

The foundational hard rock pioneers prove their enduring vitality with a remarkably energetic, riff-heavy album that heavily incorporates dynamic, progressive rock elements. Ian Gillan鈥檚 vocal delivery remains surprisingly passionate, guiding intricate, blues-inflected instrumental interplay between the guitars and Hammond organ. It is a highly melodic, rhythmically driving testament to the band's legendary chemistry.
