Album Notes & Community Reviews

Sandwiched between two of their most legendary landmarks, Deep Purple's 'Fireball' is a brilliantly heavy, surprisingly experimental hard rock classic. The album is wonderfully playful and fiercely energetic, incorporating highly rhythmic, deeply psychedelic guitar elements into intensely passionate, wonderfully melodic, and remarkably aggressive blues-rock swagger.
